Audiophiles
An audiophile is someone who derives sexual pleasure or arousal from sounds.
This should not be confused with the common usage of the term, which usually refers to someone with a high interest in high-quality audio reproduction.
In a sexual context, audiophiles may be aroused by a wide range of sounds, such as specific voices, accents, words, or non-vocal sounds like breathing, moaning, or even the sounds of certain materials (like leather or latex) moving.
This preference can play a significant role in their sexual experiences, fantasies, and the media they consume.
For instance, an audiophile might enjoy listening to erotic audio stories, ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos with sexual undertones, or even just the sound of their partner's voice.
They may incorporate this interest into their sex life by using dirty talk, phone sex, or engaging in situations where they can focus on the auditory aspect of the experience.
