Feeling aroused by listening to others having sex? There's a term for it.

Have you ever heard of auralism? It's a term that refers to being aroused by sound. Imagine this scenario: you're feeling frisky, so you put on your headphones and lay down in bed. As you listen to the wet sounds of kissing, deep breaths, and moans, you can feel your blood rushing down to your nether regions. If this kind of thing turns you on, then you might actually be engaging in auralism. It's a broad term that covers anything audible that has the potential to get you going and bring you to orgasm.

According to sex educator Gigi Engle, auralism can encompass a wide range of things. It could be the sounds you make during sex, audio erotica, or even certain words or phrases that you find particularly arousing when spoken out loud. Basically, if you get turned on by sound, then you are someone who experiences arousal through auralism. So let's take a closer look at some of the subsets that fall under this umbrella term.

One popular subset of auralism is dirty talk, which involves whispering naughty things in your partner's ear to get them all hot and bothered. It's a way to spice things up in the bedroom and add some excitement to your sexual experiences. If you enjoy this kind of thing, then you're in luck, because there are plenty of resources out there to help you enhance your dirty talk skills. For example, you can sign up for The Hook-Up, Metro's sex and dating newsletter, to receive weekly tips and stories to inspire your own dirty talk adventures.

But dirty talk is just one small aspect of auralism. Another popular subset is audio porn and audio erotica, which have become increasingly popular in recent years. These forms of erotic audio content can be found on dedicated websites and apps, and they offer a wide range of options to suit different preferences and kinks. Whether you're into degradation, praise, or something in between, there's something out there for you. And the best part? You can listen to it anywhere, even in public, for a quick pleasure boost.

So why do some people find audio erotica and porn so arousing? Well, according to sex expert Ness Cooper, it has to do with how these sounds stimulate the brain. By listening to dirty talk, moans, and other erotic noises, our brains release feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, which not only turn us on but also help us bond with our partners. Plus, the release of testosterone can also contribute to increased arousal and more intense orgasms.

If you're interested in trying out auralism for yourself, there are a few things you can do to enhance your experience. For example, you can play around with tone and volume to see what works best for you. And if you're listening to audio erotica or porn, be sure to choose something that aligns with your specific kinks and preferences. Experimenting with different types of sounds and scenarios can help you broaden your erotic template and open yourself up to more pleasurable experiences.

Of course, it's important to make sure that you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to using dirty talk and other forms of audio stimulation. Communication and consent are key to a healthy and enjoyable sexual experience. And while some people may find certain sounds or noises arousing, others may not, so it's important to respect each other's boundaries and preferences.

So whether you're into dirty talk, audio porn, or ASMR (another popular subset of auralism), there's no denying the power of sound when it comes to arousal. So why not give it a try and see how it works for you? Who knows, you might just discover a whole new world of pleasure and turn-ons. And as Jason Derulo would say, talk dirty to me.
