PORN WITHOUT PICTURES: WHY AUDIBLE PORN IS THE New Thing

PORN WITHOUT PICTURES: WHY AUDIBLE PORN IS THE New Thing

Close your eyes and open your ears for a porn experience that will blow your mind, and hopefully other things too.

By Leslie K. Hughes

Visual stimulation in today’s world is so bright it’s almost blinding. The number of visuals we consume on a daily basis that prompt a mental or physical reaction seems nearly impossible to count — there are just too many. 

And porn is one of the most consumed visuals. In its 2019 year-in-review, PornHub shared that over 42 billion people visited their site in 2019, which translates to around 115 million visits per day. I’m going to bet that if you’re reading this, you are one of those 42 billion people.

And I’m also going to bet that some of your PornHub experiences have been exactly what you wanted, and some have left you wanting more. I’m talking about those times when you’ve scrolled through page after page of porn to find just the right thing, and eventually settled for something less because your eyes got tired of looking.

So when I heard about a new concept for porn that requires no scrolling through video after video to the point where visual stimulation is rendered null and void, and instead only requires sitting back and listening, I was literally all ears.

What type of porn am I talking about? Audible porn.

Yep, you heard that right. We are taking you back to the basics where there are no laptops for a sexy sesh, no cell phones for a solo quickie, no PornHub to tickle your fancy. Just your ears and some hella sexy sounds. And basic has never felt so good.

Quinn is the queen of audible porn for many reasons, but one of them is that it is completely free and super easy to use. You simply search by category what you’re in the mood for, and get to listening for that O. Think categories like Daddy, Accents, Moans, and many more that will get your mind wandering to all the right places. 

Speaking of listening, we chatted with the founder of Quinn, Caroline Spiegel, to get all the deets on spreading those cheeks for yourself or for your partner using her website.

VM: What was the inspiration for Quinn?

CS: I had the idea for Quinn during my senior year at Stanford. I had just recovered from an eating disorder, and was struggling to feel in touch with my body and my sexuality. One day, I was masturbating and it was truly awful. I was sweaty and just exhausted — visual porn wasn’t working for me. 

VM: How did you make the idea of Quinn a reality?

CS: I sent a few audios around to my sorority and it totally went viral. It worked and people were orgasming all over the place!

VM: Talk about Quinn and male users. Men are more visual creatures than women, so we are assuming most of your users are female, but is it a thing for guys too?

CS: It is a thing! Yes — but historically, our platform has been more female oriented. We are about 70-30 women-men.

VM: What roles can Quinn play in a woman’s sex life?

CS: Quinn can help you feel truly turned on, desired, and of course, wet.

VM: Describe Quinn in one word (besides “empowering).”

CS: Hot.

VM: Share your idea of a sexy, solo night in. Give us all the details.

CS: I need a big-ass glass of red wine, freshly washed/dried sheets, and the air conditioning on high (that’s a weird me-thing). I put on Quinn — usually Anonyfun or BadInfluence — and I use my hands (not a vibrator). I might take a freezing cold shower after too. 

VM: What is your biggest hope for women when it comes to sex? And how can Quinn help us get there?

CS: I guess my biggest hope is that women feel totally free and joyous in the bedroom. Slutty and happy!
