Let's talk about sex, ba-by! Or, rather, let's listen to other people talk about sex—and with an erotic podcast for every taste, you've got a world of options to choose from. That said, while the quantity is there, quality gems can be a bit harder to find: For every excellent source of erotic short stories, there's at least five that feature nasal-breathy narrators with voices so unrealistic it can take you out of the experience. Here, we've found some of the best erotica and audio porn to enjoy (while you play with your best vibrator, perhaps?), as well as jaw-dropping true sex stories that just might give you some wild ideas to add to your own bucket list. Because variety's the spice of life, also on the list are programs that offer kinky conversations, brave and funny confessions, and sage relationship advice from the likes of Dan Savage.
Put your headphones on, get comfortable, and check out 18 of the best erotic podcasts about sex and sexuality.
Erotic Audio by AudioDesires.com
Ever wish you could skip to the hottest parts of an erotic novel or audiobook? These Erotic Audio snippets get right to it, with each slickly produced (and moan-heavy) short story—narrated by British actors—reciting scenarios such as "Caught Cheating" or "The New Professor." If the samples don't get you off in ten minutes or less, the average runtime of an ep, head to AudioDesires to hear the whole thing.
The Kiss Me Quick's Erotic Sex Stories by Rose Caraway
Author, podcaster, and self-described sexy librarian Rose Caraway (who has a lovely voice) brings a wide range of erotica authors' tales to her "lurid listeners" in this pod. After a brief intro, Caraway reads a story, with most running between 30-50 minutes long.
The Turn On
The Turn On podcast bills itself as a space for "literary erotica created with Black women, femmes and gender nonconforming folx in mind," and it's also a thoughtful book club that celebrates the genre as an art form. Hosts Erica and Kenya are two sex-savvy best friends who share their own experiences (such as visits to sex clubs) and educational tidbits when they're not reading pulse-racing work from their favorite erotica authors.
Dipsea
Dipsea isn't technically a podcast—it's a subscription-based app offering sexy audio stories that are crafted to be female desire-inclusive. $47.99 a year gets you access to over 300 spicy tales five to 20 minutes in length plus more content, ad-free. With search functions based on gender, orientation, and scenario, there's something hot for everyone.
Fangasm
If you're a Game of Thrones fan who wanted WAY more action between Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth, good news: Fan fiction writers have definitely filled that hole for you. While it's likely hotter to read filthy Wattpad selections on your own, listening to hosts Allie LeFevere, Lyndsay Rush and Danny Chapman read (and giggle) aloud is good fun. There's seasons devoted to Harry Potter and The Office, too.
We Gotta Thing
Swinging may be a common sexual fantasy for married folks, but hosts Mr. and Mrs. Jones are actually walking the walk. We Gotta Thing finds the couple, who've been married for 30 years, sharing stories of social swinging from the adventure they embarked upon when their kids grew up. Their sometimes explicit accounts will fascinate and, for those considering "the lifestyle" themselves, provide honest insight into what it's like.
Bawdy Storytelling
L.A. Weekly called this storytelling pod "The Moth for pervs," and the description is apt. Each week, "sexual folklorist" Dixie De La Tour offers a guest recounting a true sexcapade in front of a live audience—with often funny, always honest results.
Friday Night Fun Erotic Stories
This roundup of erotic short stories earns extra points for its retro "sultry call-in show"-style production. Though the series ended in 2018, there's a big enough back catalog for many "filthy Fridays" to come.
Girl on the Net
Like Dipsea, Girl on the Net isn't a podcast per se—but the titular creator of the site offers a trove of audio porn. Written and recorded by various erotica writers, you can take your pick of BDSM-centric stories, real-life tales, and erotic fiction. Did we mention it's free?
Turn Me On
Jeremie and Bryde are a married polyamorous couple (they live apart, and engage in relationships with other people) who bring their ongoing pursuit of exploring sexuality without shame to Turn Me On (this one is NOT for the overshare-averse). They've left no stone unturned over the course of 150+ episodes, and their honest exchanges often acknowledge the strong connections between libido and mental health.
Savage Lovecast
One of the best-known sex advice authors and podcasters in the game, Dan Savage's been writing his syndicated "Savage Love" column since 1991. His call-in advice podcast has been going strong since 2006, and listening to Savage's no-nonsense answers to every sex and love-related predicament imaginable is as entertaining—and educational—as ever. The pod is so popular, there's even a more robust subscription version.
Cock Tales: Dirty Discussions
Kiki Said So and Temptation Island alum Medinah Monroe share their sexual adventures and relationship-related revelations in breezy conversations that pair well with a stiff drink (there's even a cocktail recipe at the top of each episode).
Authentic Sex
Australian sexologist Juliet Allen and her guests discuss how to have hotter sex and achieve deeper connection in relationships. With episodes that include "Secrets of Great Sex & Deep Pleasure" and "How to Reignite Desire in Long-Term Relationships," you're bound to learn something.
Why Are People Into That?!
Clowns. Polyamorous relationships. "Sploshing." If you can think of it—or even if you've never heard of it—there's almost certainly someone out there who's got a fetish for it. On Why Are People Into That, host Tina Horn gets to the bottom of what, exactly, the allure may be. Other episodes finds Horn talking to a variety of guests about sexual health topics, social justice, and more.
Sex with Strangers: A Grown Folks Podcast
Each week on the Sex with Strangers podcast, hosts Cii, Jaxon, and Juice convene for freewheeling and thoughtful chats about all things sex and relationships.
Momgasm
Women who become mothers are still sexual beings, despite what the culture at large seems to believe sometimes. Momgasm's Lindsay Umlah and Sarah Cresswell interview guests and draw from their own experiences as moms who still like to get off, unpacking topics that range from finding the time to get intimate while raising a family to body shame to period sex—with "Pussy Lab" sex toy review episodes mixed in.
Gayish
Mike Johnson and Kyle Getz are two gay men living in Seattle who, by their own account, don't fit many of the stereotypes associated with gay white men (their tag line is "where sexuality meets actuality"). Like the hosts of Sex with Strangers, Johnson and Getz have the easy, funny banter of longtime friends, and they tackle LGBTQ-specific issues with curiosity, respect, and self-awareness.
Sex with Strangers
Podcaster Chris Sowa has served as something of a sexual anthropologist on his own podcast called Sex with Strangers since 2014. Sowa and his team bring listeners reported stories on sex cultures around the globe, with episodes such as "Sex in Tokyo," "Sex and the Amish," or "New York Sex Parties." Listening won't make you an expert on an episode's topic, but it will make you a little more knowledgeable about what people are doing behind closed doors, and why they love doing it.
Guys We F****d
Hosts Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson and their guests have frank discussions about sex, female sexuality, and yes, occasionally men they've had encounters with. It's all in the name of education, and deflating the all-too-common practice of "slut-shaming," or judging a woman for her sexual behavior. The podcast has grown so popular, the full version is now a subscription-only Luminary Original—but you can listen to clips wherever you stream.
