A hot delivery boy shows up with a pizza, but the poor woman doesn’t have enough cash to pay for it. The pizza is cast aside, and the terms of the pizza transaction are handled in a completely different way. How about the stepmom who comes home to catch her stepson masturbating, rather than shield her eyes she professes her sexual obsession with him. We’ve all seen porn and the ridiculous plotlines that they come up with. Things go from zero to one hundred in the blink of an eye and the actors with perfect bodies make us question our body image as they shriek and moan with their unrealistic fantasy driven audio track. Video porn focuses on physical while audio porn shifts the focus to pleasure and arousal. Yes, it is possible to be physically aroused but mentally unaroused (is that a word?).
Have you tried listening to audio porn? According to a recent survey, respondents claim that audio porn helped them improve their solo sex, communicate more openly about sex, feel more comfortable exploring sexuality, become more comfortable with their bodies, and overall impacted their sex life in a positive way. By engaging the mind, audio allows us to experience our sexuality safely and intimately in ways that can be even more provocative and visceral. When watching video porn, it can be very difficult to not compare ourselves to the actors, but audio porn allows a deep sense of intimacy and the bodies can be filled in with your own context, your own body and perhaps the body of your partner.
As humans we thrive with storytelling, and it can have a meditative calming effect. Listening to our porn is the most natural and arouses us slowly on our own terms which means it is typically much better for women since mental stimulation can make a sexual experience feel much more intense. While audio erotica can be associated with women, men often need to reframe their arousal but can find it more rewarding as well. Think about how big of an industry phone sex was back in the day. Human desire is very complex and there is a gas and brake that tell your body’s arousal cycle to stop or go. I’ve found that audio erotica is the most “gas” since it is less likely for me to see something that taps my arousal brake.
Another interesting component of audio erotica is the hard to describe psychological oddity of ASMR. The weird sensation accompanied with soft voices and gentle comforting sounds. This one is pretty interesting but it deserves an entire blog so I'll come back to that another time.
“Of all the ways to consume erotica, listening to it spoken is the most natural for us,” Dr. Emily Nagoski, sex educator and author of “Come as you are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life.”
I’ve got Jaimee from BLOOM with us to answer a few questions about her site. First off, I’d like to thank you for the complimentary subscription to the site. I’ve had an opportunity to listen to more than a few different audio files in different categories. In addition to traditional erotic content, other sections are available like Unwind, Fleeting Moments, Soundscapes and Sleep Meditations which help promote healthy relaxation and sleep. Pretty cool! …
