Adventures in Audio Porn

Did I do an audio post before? I did, but it was years ago. Audio porn is to video porn as TV is to reading. It's a little more work, but so, so much more rewarding.

Reddit's GoneWildAudio is an amazing resource. But unlike visual porn, the medium requires a little work to get the most out of it. So, even though I've been visiting GWA for ages, it took me until just recently to find performers I really like, like AprilW9.  I just wasn't putting the work in, dammit.

Putting in the work.

If you read this blog, and you haven't visited GWA then you should. There are thousands of very, very professional audio recordings covering every kink imaginable. Listening is so much more sexual than looking or even reading. In the very best porn that I like, the actresses act, which can include expression and movement, but mostly it's what they say. But it's so rare. Lots of porn contains barely any speaking at all. When you do find it, it's often repetitive and badly acted. You can get distracted by the images but it never hits you in the heart in the same way as a woman's voice does when delivering  powerful words, direct to your brain. When it works, it's amazing. And that hit comes more frequently, and harder in audio.

Plus, it's almost all free. Many of the best performers have patreons or other pay sites but vast amounts of very high quality stuff is available for nothing. Plus many performers post and comment and take suggestions and feedback online. It's a great community.  It just takes a bit more work than opening a browser and looking. You have to listen and that's harder. Not just more time-consuming, it takes effort to listen, seeing is free. 

I have only scratched the surface of what is on GWA, but I have a few observations.

Everyone is so nice.

The internet is a crawling, foetid swamp of narcissists and fun-ruiners. But decent people have found some cosy corners to hide in. GWA is one such place. Perhaps the moderators of the subreddit are particularly vigilant, but I've never seen people being mean or dismissive. Posts are removed or deleted, but more often for posting links to paysites or other spammy acitvies.

There are so many switches.

I've never listened to a male recording artist, but among the most popular/prolific women, almost all have posted Femdom, Femsub, GFE, weird fantasy and all sorts of stuff. Some are better or more familiar with one kink or another but most of those that I've listened to and like, do a variety of stuff.
It's not like that in the PMV community. There, people find a style and subject and stick to it pretty hard. I can usually tell who made a particular popular PMV by watching the first 10 seconds or reading the tags. Audio performers are much more varied in the topics they cover, even if they excel in one particular area.

Writers and performers are not the same people...

.. to the degree that performing someone else's script is the norm and recording artists tend to flag when they've written the content themselves or are just making it up on the spot. Some scripts are popular enough that several  performers may have a go. That said, there are probably thousands of poor quality scripts languishing that will never be taken up. But still, I don't know of any other medium where writing may so frequently have a life beyond the words on a page.

L-Bombs.

Writers and performers tag the scripts [F4M], [Incest], [Beast] etc. And it's fascinating what they choose to emphasise. L-Bombs are tagged all over the place. I L-bomb that. If someone isn't in love with someone else then what's the point, right? I think every story I've ever written has someone saying they love someone else at some point. Sometimes they love each other on every other page. I don't go looking for anything else - most of the  FSub and FDom stuff on GWA is filled with love. It may be rough, but there's always love and acceptance, which is great.

My own forays into writing for audio

So, ages ago. I liked a site called StrappedInSilk, owned by audio domme Teresa Bowers.. This was in the around 2008.  I messaged back and forth with her a little and I asked if she would record a script I'd written. Its here (as a pdf) And her recording is here too. I loved this, but to be honest I don't remember what writing it was even like. I do remember the thrill of hearing her voice saying the word 'Lingerie'. It sounded way better the way she said it than the way I'd imagined the character saying it. 

Much later I found Natasha's Bedroom and  and Lucy Marie on clips4sale. They did customs at the time and I asked each of them if they would do a script I'd written. (This was a one-sided psychiatrist femdom script). It's here. It was too long and both of them were getting out of the custom business,( or at least they said so. I now suspect that my script was just waaaaay to long), anyway,  I left it there.

Then I found PrincessAmiAudios, who also records (or, at least, used to record) on GWA and had a YouTube channel. I liked her stuff so much I joined her patreon which had the reward that she would record a script. But I've never managed to write one. I tried to turn an existing story into a one-sided dialog. That was easy - it was keeping it succinct that was hard.

It's much different than just writing a prose story, and even though most of my stories are 90% dialogue, writing-to-be-spoken still feels very different. What I write, sounds like writing, not speech. When people talk, so much more is implied than is said. It's show not tell, but all you have is words. And if my case, too many words.

Examples of what I like in Audio

So here's two favorite stories/performers that were in my groove.

The first is ThrowAwayYourLust, doing a script by u/flos_legere, which is here. Her recording is here. (* Actually, she has her own site now and deleted the originals from reddit but the site its down now. Hmm. This copy will do for now but I wish that site were up). These characters appeared in other stories, in which the setup is a fictional firm who have 'Free-Use' Wellness Therapists to service the senior male managers. Very FSub. In fact, it's almost Erenisch, but without the slavery. The script then takes that into a Femdom, Cuckold direction by having the personal secretary's husband be on the phone while she's being fucked by her manager. There's some breeding stuff in there too and it's all very well integrated into the story so it makes sense on it's own terms. I loved this so much I joined Lust's patreon.

Then there's this one Inappropriate Office Behaviour, , by AprilW9 who may be my favourite performer. The script is by ezy11, here and it's set in the same or a similar firm. (I love this Wellness Secretary setup). In this case, the secretary is upbraiding her boss for not being dominant enough with her, in a kind of workplace-harassment-in-reverse scenario. Her voice is wonderful, and she's funny and clever and talented. 

April also has a patreon, which I also joined.

 

April also did a series of three linked audios called Jerk Off competition which are all linked on her page here.

There's so many good moments in that that I could write a whole blog post on any one, but if you do listen to these (and I very much recommend you do, then watch out for her saying "I can't wait to see the look on your fa.." 

That's cut off there, because at that point, she's  savagely penetrated by her bull as she's taunting her cuckold husband. The noise April makes at this point is just amazing. You need the context. Listen to the whole thing. If you're the sort of person who visits this blog, then I swear to you, you will stop everything and vanish down this rabbit hole and thank me for it.

I've had so much pleasure from performers on GWA that I feel guilty about it. I pay for a lot of (visual) porn, but the vast majority of audio porn is just published for free. Patreon for audio is great. OnlyFans for visual porn sucks ass, but that's a different blog post.

My actual recent audio writing.

I wrote a sequel for AprilW9's Inappropriate Office Behaviour story  which I'm hoping she will perform. In a Q&A she said she likes scripts where she gets to flip from Dom to Sub or Sub to Dom in the same scenario, so in the sequel she accepts that her attempts to make him more dominant have failed, and she takes their relationship into her own hands.

My first draft of this was 5,176 words. The OG script, by ezy11, which is 28 minutes long is only 1,786 words. It was only when I did this wordc ount that I realised that my verbal diarrhoea was out of control. Tightening it all up was a painful experience. I found reading it out myself revealed some of the problems, but didn't make editing it down any easier. I did a pass where I edited and edited and at the end found I'd only removed about a hundred words from the total. I'd cut about a thousand and added nine hundred more. D'Oh.

Update (April 2020):

I just got tired of trying to cut it down and published it on reddit anyway. I actually put it straight onto April's page.
Where it languished. It got a couple of comments and a handful of upvotes but no other response. . Then I noticed April has a small website where she actually has a paid-script-audio offer. Yay! So I submitted it there and she's doing it. I can't wait, but I must, until May, so that's not so long. I really, really want to try to do better at this. I've read a few scripts to get some better idea of the way language is used in a for-audio script, but I think practice and simply reading it out loud is probably the only way. I can do the implied dialog of just one side speaking easily enough. 

It's just that what should be one sentence is too long, and turns into two or three and soon enough the thing sounds like someone who is in a Jane Austen novel. When your character says 'However' during sex, you know you've taken a wrong turn.

Another Update (October 2020)

Writing audio isn't fast or easy. Nor recording or editing it either. It took till August for April to finish just the first part of the story. Listening to it was a joy. It's here. . Please listen to it and leave a comment on her reddit page.

Since then, April's been working on the second half. It's imminent. I've also been failing to work on a sequel. Hopefully getting part 2 will make me finish one of the many other scripts I've begun and then let languish in half-done limbo.

Here are a few I've finished.

I want to be your slutgirl.
In which our girl writes out her mission statement - really a kind of SubDom contact for her housemate detailing how she wants to be dominated.

Please baby, I'm trying to read 

Jessica has recently sidelined her husband where sex is concerned. He's too much of a wimp and in awe of her to complain. He may also be a bit dim.
It's implied here that Jessica has informed her husband that she is having an affair with some man called Dieter and her husband has, possibly reluctantly, agreed to this. It seems that this happened very recently
At the time, she jerked him off, while telling him how things were going to be . But now, Jessica doesn't want to be lumbered with taking care of hubby's needs all the time.

Cuckold Hotline.
The Cuck hotline provides bulls to needy wives. It's a prestige service with prices to match, but their stable of studs is second to none and they now operate nationwide! 
The operator gets increasingly frustrated with her caller who doesn't seem to understand what is about to happen to his marriage, and he keeps ... playing with himself while she's trying to do her job.
