Gen Z Girlies Are Loving Spicy Audio
How audio p-rn became the hype during Gen Z’s boysober era.
Self-pleasure and spicy audio — ahem, audio porn — are the sexual wellness trends that dominated during the 2020 pandemic. To many women, however, that’s no surprise. Many of us were forced into celibacy due to the no-contact rule and sought new styles of stimulation. Some of us baked bread, others of us… enjoyed the spice of self-pleasure.
Although it was popularized during the pandemic, audio erotica has always been around — hi Tumblr! — and has a host of benefits. For starters, it provides a safe space for sexual exploration, like diving into “taboo” fantasies. For many women like myself who experience shame, this was extremely healing. It also encouraged self-care by promoting sexual wellness routines.

When it comes to erotica, you can’t discuss it without Quinn. Founded by Caroline Spiegel during her undergrad era, the brand speaks our favorite language: Gen Z. With cheeky captions and a kinky community of its own, its tone makes entrusting them with our orgasms rather easy — and hella pleasurable. Add in celebrity voices we already know and love and I’m sat. Most recently, All of Us Stranger’s Andrew Scott joined its cast, alongside episodes by You’s Victoria Pedretti and Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse Williams.
Their best content though? Quinn Originals. Tapping celebrity guests from our favorite pop culture moments, it taps a marketing trend we love as Gen Zers: nostalgia. Quinn aligns with our buzzy actors by lending us their voices for pleasure sessions. Women who have already known and loved the pleasures of smut, are familiar with this style of intimacy. But as stated above, many of us only experienced this after the pandemic pulled the ultimate c-ck block.
Okay so I just found out that Andrew Scott recorded Audio Erotica (it’s smut, let’s be honest!) for @tryquinn_ and they’re currently asking what other famous voices their listeners would like and…
Look, it would basically be another charity thing for him to do this, right?! 😁 pic.twitter.com/TH6VWlUslv— MissAppointed (@MissAppointed) June 12, 2024
Since its 2020 rise, audio erotica has been given the AI treatment with companies like BLOOM Stories seamlessly integrating it into high quality erotica. The gag? The AI is trained by its voice actors who are compensated for their services — we love an ethical kinky moment. Speaking of ethics, the platform is a great model for representation, frequently featuring storylines for everyone from vanilla lovers to kinksters. (Poly and unconventional people, there’s stories for you, too!!)

Ultimately, Gen Z and Millennial women are becoming more intentional about their pleasure, especially prioritizing self. For some of us, there’s a nostalgia element that reminds us of our horny Tumblr days, while others revel in their love of aural orgasms and fantasies. Overall, audio porn is clearly surpassing the trend level and if Gen Z girlies have anything to do with it: it’s here to stay.
