The Only App You Need for Hours of Sexual Pleasure

Porn. Everyone has a different reaction to that word.

Overall, porn isn’t a good habit for anybody; it objectifies and dehumanizes women. It can be violent, and most of it sets unrealistic expectations for real-life sex, associated with lower sexual satisfaction.

According to Psychology Today, “porn users report altered sexual tastes, less satisfaction in their relationships, and real-life intimacy and attachment problems.”

Not to mention what it is doing to our teen’s brains. They are learning about unrealistic sexual intercourse, encounters, and penis size.

A woman in her early 60s from Vermont gave a talk at my daughter’s school for parents (she gave her lecture to the kids separately) about sex and teens and porn and teens (her name escapes me).

She gets paid to travel around the country as a sex educator for teens and college students, warning them about the unrealistic aspects of porn; she told a story about speaking to a group of young men at a fraternity. When she educated them on the average male penis size, rarely reflected in porn, a collective sigh of relief in the room could be heard across college campuses everywhere.

Porn can harm, and often does.

In one US study, it found, “people who watched violent pornography were more than six times as likely to engage in sexually aggressive behavior.”

In another study, “it predicted more frequent sexual harassment perpetration two years later.”

However, I have found audio porn, porn written specifically with women in mind. It’s geared toward women, making it nothing like mainstream porn you find on the internet.

Women’s sexual pleasure is its main focus.

I tried a couple of apps during their free trial period, but by far, my favorite one is Dipsea, started by two female entrepreneurs from San Francisco, Gina Gutierrez, a brand and design strategist, and Faye Keegan, a technical product manager.

“There wasn’t any good, interesting, erotic sexual content that felt made for us,” Gutierrez explains. “They was only this black market where people are like, ‘There’s this one chapter of this book that I think is super sexy and it’s stacked on my nightstand,’ but that’s kind of it.”

Dipsea is a great app with professional voice actors and creative story writers. On top of quality content, the app is visually stunning with cool fonts and artistic drawings.

I took a listen during Dipsea’s one-week free trial. The one week went pretty quickly, and I opted for the yearly subscription of $47.99, you know because more research was required for this article. I didn’t think twice about it or hem, and haw like I usually do when deciding to pay for a subscription-based app.

You can listen to a sampling of stories here.

Subscribers to the app get 300+ stories with new releases each week, including wellness sessions and how-tos. It is an ad-free experience with a cancel anytime policy.

The stories average anywhere between 7 and 15 minutes in length.

Not only is the app beautifully designed, it’s well organized. The artwork that comes with each story is visually pleasing — the colors, the drawings, the layout, the titles of each story. The design is striking.

See, I’m talking about the beautiful artwork and organizational layout of the app — porn marketed with women in mind.

On their website, it reads, “Dipsea is partly tech company and partly a story studio.” Sounds like a cool place to work. The goal of Dipsea is to give women another choice to tap into their sexuality. Women want better erotic experiences.

According to their website and CEO, Gina Gutierrez,

“Porn wasn’t designed with women in mind (a lot of people just aren’t turned on by it, others question the ethicality, representation, and authenticity of what they’re watching).”

Dipsea is more than your run-of-the-mill porn; it depicts healthy sexual activity and respectful gender relations and offers a story for any one of any gender. Part wellness app, part erotica.

Just like exercise, or meditation, tapping into your sexuality reconnects mind and body, floods you with good chemicals, and makes you feel more confident, empowered, and alive. Dipsea isn’t just about getting aroused, it’s about tapping into your inner sexual powers more accessibly. — Dipsea.com

The stories on Dipsea are immersive, intimate, and imaginative. The voices of the actors are subtle, sensuous, and the stories are well scripted. I have many favorites.

As most humans, I’m turned on by anticipation — the not knowing — so I don’t typically listen to the same story twice. Not a problem. Dipsea offers new stories each week, so there is a ton of variety, plus their backlog of stories is significant.

That is a lot of content I won’t get through anytime soon — not if I want to get anything productive accomplished. (It took me weeks to finish this story for a reason).

Log onto the app, and the first thing you see is “Explore by Category.” Here they have New Releases, Hookups, Straight Stories, Serialized Stories, Fan Favorites, Romantic, Queer Stories, Group Stories, Couples, Rough, Off Limits, Chill Stories, Him + You, Her + You, Zero to Sixty, BDSM, Shortest Stories, Voyeur, Vacation, Exploring Taboo.

You can customize the app to your tastes. Him + Her or Her +Her + Him or Her + Him + Him or Her + Her + Him. There is something for everyone.

When you scroll down, you get Trending Now, Exploring Taboo, Picks for You, More Like Leather and Lace, Five Years IV. And they just added Serialized Stories!

There is a specific tab for “Wellness” that I haven’t listened to yet, but there you’ll find titles like “Sensual Breath 1” and “Self-Touch Sensation Play.”

Following that tab is the “Favorites” tab where you can store all of your favorites; I already have at least ten under my favorites; August Heat, Lush, The Session, After Hours, and Lecture Me II, but I usually only listen to a story once; there is so much erotica to choose from on this app, it is worth the subscription fee.

The app and the stories are written and produced with women in mind, but I suggest listening with a partner. The stories are engaging, hot, and can be used as a lead up to sex with yourself or a partner.

Gutierrez explains to Vox.com,

“We don’t just think that this is an end, like, ‘let’s get you aroused,’” says Gutierrez. “That end could be feeling more alive and awakened. That could mean feeling more in touch and connected with your body. That could mean feeling more connected to a partner. That could mean feeling more flirtatious before a date. And then, of course, there’s the classic use, and I’m sure people can [use] this to masturbate. Which of course you could as well.”

The female’s pleasure is at the center of each story, a condom always shows up at exactly the right time, the men are respectful and ask for permission a lot — although I haven’t listened to stories tagged “Rough.” At the end of each tale, the couple or threesome usually end frolicking off somewhere together, like swimming naked in a pond or laughing in bed or tangling up asleep.

Everyone asks, “Is this alright?” a lot.

Dipsea is a gorgeous and fun app. I will purchase it again — and I don’t pay for many subscriptions.

This is one to get.
