While ASMR isn’t inherently erotic, creators in the erotic space saw a market there and a new type of X-rated (sort of) content has come about. In fact, erotic, female-focused platform Sssh.com has received increasing requests for erotic audio content, leading to a booming category called “whisper porn” along with erotic ASMR.

A representative from Sssh.com explains that whisper porn focuses on erotic stories with only the audio element. Meanwhile, erotic ASMR is more about certain sounds that can trigger arousal like mouth sounds and the whispering of “sweet nothings.”

There are a number of reasons people might prefer whisper porn and erotic ASMR to traditional adult videos, says the founder of Sssh.com. For starters, it’s ideal for those whose eyes get tired from staring at screens. But additionally, those who like to use their imagination appreciate that having only audio gets their wheels turning, but they fill in the rest of the details.

If you have been looking for a new way to unwind at the end of the day or to even get you in the mood for partner play or self-pleasure, it might be time to check out ASMR.
