Audio erotica: Where to find good audio sex stories
words by daisy henry
In the wise words of Addison Rae, put your headphones on.
Audio erotica has been on the up in recent years. It started with the proliferation romance and fantasy books (also known as ‘romantasy’), boosted by the online BookTok community. This saw the meteoric rise in authors like Emily Henry, Helen Hoang and of course, Fourth Wing author, Rebecca Yarros. It’s not surprising to hear that our universal love for a smutty read might extend into the audio world.
In case you needed any more convincing, just take the most recent story from Quinn’s, an app dedicated to audio erotica. The story, Hidden Harbour, features narration from the one and only Christopher Briney (yes, that’s Conrad from The Summer I Turned Pretty). Briney voices River, a bartender and surfer who travels back to his hometown just as Drea is trying to get over a breakup with – get this – River’s brother.

Safe to say, audio porn is getting bigger and better, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the direction it’s heading. From fiction and fiction stories to masturbation meditations, there’s a wellspring of apps, sites and audiobooks out there, just waiting to be played. So, grab your headphones, turn on noise-cancelling and enjoy. Happy listening!
