Pornography is not the most welcoming space for women. Despite all the improvement and inclusion that’s been fought for within the industry, it’s still hard for women to find content that’s been developed for and by them.
Over the last couple of years, audio-based content has experienced a huge rise in popularity. You can see it all over social media. The presence of podcasts, audibles, and a rising sale of Airpods have all contributed to this phenomenon, transforming audio-based content into one of today’s most promising investments. Dipsea, an app that develops erotic audio stories, wants to take advantage of this with the addition of female empowerment. TechCrunch reports that they’ve recently acquired funding of $5.5 million from venture capital investors.

Dipsea functions according to a subscription plan, giving you access to their library of short-form erotic audio content by paying a fee of $8.99 a month or $48 a year. “The stories are designed to be listened to at any time, with the company’s examples including solo in bed, while getting ready for a date or to help turn off boss brain on the way home from work,” reports TechCrunch.
Despite the kind of expensive price tag, listeners report getting their money’s worth, claiming that there’s quality content on the app that triggers the imagination and provides a different kind of stimulus.
We portray the relationships and sex women deserve—fun, safe, and full of enthusiastic consent, characters they can respect, and worlds they want to lose themselves in.
Dipsea has hired all sorts of freelance writers to develop their projects in order to deliver content that’s entertaining and that also addresses issues like consent and diversity.
In a nutshell, Dipsea is kind of like Pornhub’s distant cousin. It’s much cleaner, socially conscious, with some narrative merit and for your ears only. It’s the first experiment of its kind, and it’s an interesting one that promises a bright future for erotica.
