The 20 best sex, erotica, and relationship podcasts

Choose a Girl

This narrative drama pod describes itself as a “weird-West audio adventure,” and we cannot think of a better way to put it. When Samir stumbles into a hidden world populated by paranormal creatures, he joins a caravan of bounty hunters and vigilantes in pursuit of a way out. It’s steamy, it’s sexy, it’s queer, and it’s delightfully odd. Listen to one, or mix-and-match a few favorites (and maybe bring a toy along for the ride).

Erotic Audio

Veteran erotica narrator Sebastian York voices male lead Derrick, a radio personality with the moniker The Love Whisperer… And in York’s smooth, deep voice, there’s nothing quite as sexy. Tracy Marks joins him to voice Kat, a computer programmer blown away by Derrick, and her breathy, affected performance sells the relationship. From the first call Kat makes to Derrick to the last line of this well tied-up story arc from Lauren Landish, Dirty Talk is irresistibly filthy.

Your Needy Girlfriend Begs You for a Massage

• Listen to one, or mix-and-match a few favorites (and maybe bring a toy along for the ride).
• Come for the raunchy real talk; stay for the hosts’ insane chemistry and laugh-out-loud banter.
• As a bonus, she also links out to other sex bloggers, some of which do audio erotica too (such as On Queer Street).
• This catalog of audible porn is tagged with relevant keywords and indicates whether or not the story you’re about to click on will work in tandem with its Bluetooth toy to vibe in time to what you’re hearing.
• What sets Quinn apart is that it keeps an erotic vibe while still maintaining a clean, modern feel.
• The title of this selection says it all—if dirty talk is what you’re into, this audiobook is sure to satisfy.

Many of these fantasies are made in collaboration with talented script writers. When I first started using Quinn, I noticed there were a plethora of options, making it hard to decide where to begin. I knew I wasn’t interested in reading, so I focused on the audio tracks. Relying on the same method I use to choose wine, I selected the track with the cutest name — «Snugglefuck.» The last thing I need when I’m trying to get freaky with myself is to see a pop up of a girl with semen all over her face.

• Up in the mountains of Colorado, Nina Sheridan is taking a vacation from her life in England to reflect on her engagement to a man she feels doesn’t really know her, let alone love her.
• As it turns out, I like a few moans and a little bit of sexy talk, but not too much of either.
• Depending on what you’re into, there’s a mix of narrative-driven options, including genre-based options like sci-fi or mystery series, and sensual stories that lean hard on common fantasies, like threesomes.
• Just the titillating sounds of a random man whispering not-so-sweet nothings into my ear.
• The story kicks off with Mona Lisa St. James deciding to sell The Red, the failing art gallery she inherited from her mother.
• She actually sounded like a normal human being, and it was super refreshing.

Direct-to-listener porn is popular on Tumblr—meaning audio that speaks directly to you, whether it’s dirty talk, instructional content, or narrative stories. Listeners and critics alike have compared the sexual style and dynamic between the two main characters in Bared to You to the feverishness of Fifty Shades of Grey, but we think this title stands on its own as a relentlessly sexy listen. Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell have the kind of sensuous, darkly twisted connection that entices listeners, and this chemistry crafts some irresistible bedroom scenes. If you’re looking for palpable tension that builds into BDSM, this audiobook will absolutely deliver, scene after scene, each different from the last. Narrator Jill Redfield is so adept at pacing and performing those scenes that even experienced erotica listeners may find themselves blushing.

Though Crossroads is undeniably romantic, the passion between Nick and Bryce is equally undeniable. In love scenes narrated by Sean Crisden, who knows exactly when to quicken and slow the pacing for top-notch tension, their simmering chemistry comes to a boil. Listeners enjoy not only the racy sex scenes they’d expect from the genre, but also sweeter, emotional scenes—like the one in which Nick and Bryce each experience their first time with another man. Narrator Melissa Moran and author Elle Spencer make a great team—the latter’s talent for comedic writing and the former’s for bringing that comedy to life make listening to Casting Lacey equally laugh-out-loud funny, sizzling, and enchanting.

Zoe is addicted to sex, and it’s a compulsion that just might have a darker source than she originally thought. As she reveals every last detail of her sultry story to a new therapist, listeners become entangled in the web Zoe’s addiction has woven—and from which she desperately wants to be freed. This collection of audio erotica spotlights some of the best narrative talent in the industry and sexy storylines that are so easy to sink into… and nearly impossible to leave. Our list of the best erotic audiobooks ranges from sweet romances to boundary-pushing sexual play, all produced specifically to leave listeners hot and bothered. The erotic podcast landscape is about as vast and varied as sexuality itself, which is to say, it’s incredibly varied with something for everyone, whether you’re queer, straight, poly, or even asexual.

Inclusion in Audible’s “best audiobooks” list series is based on a number of factors, including presence on Audible best seller lists, listener ratings and reviews, Goodreads ratings, and input from the Audible Editors. All audiobooks featured here have a minimum of 500 reviews averaging at least 4.5 stars, with some exceptions made for outstanding stories and performances. Nominated for a 2018 Audie Award, Taking Turns focuses on an unusual ménage à quatre—three male friends, Bric, Quin, and Smith, who find a woman named Chella in a swingers club and decide to play a game of sorts together. There are twosomes, threesomes, and foursomes, and each man has a distinctive style and set of sexual interests that make for a variety of encounters. What we didn’t anticipate about Taking Turns were the thrilling plot discoveries outside of the bedroom.

Narrator Vanessa Chambers is excellent at generating emotional tension, and author Laurann Dohner gives her a lot of it to work with. Ellie and Fury must navigate their complex relationship and unwise but unavoidable attraction to each other as they take on a daunting, risky endeavour—freeing the rest of the experiment subjects from captivity. With a fully realized universe, Fury doesn’t shy away from the complex subjects and settings it introduces, but it also doesn’t skimp on the torrid details.

At first, it might seem like podcasting is an odd venue for exploring relationships and sexuality. But the medium is home to all kinds of riveting erotic media. (In fact, erotic podcasts are some of the best erotic media around.) Sure, sex is a predominantly physical (and in some cases, visual) thing.
