This is me infodumping my current hyperfixation on basically amateur porn, so skip that if you want.
On the other hand it IS fascinating, and it is this blog\u2019s official line that \u201cstuff to jerk off to\u201d is just as real and valid and particular a part of culture as anything else.
r/gonewildaudio is a Subreddit focused around creating, posting, and sharing erotic audio.
[1] The standard format is like somewhere between a radio play and one half of a phone sex conversation - performers will portray one character interacting with another audience-perspective character WHOSE LINES ARE SILENT AND IMPLIED.
This means that the best writers and performers have to craft dialogue really well, use vocal nuance, and diegetic SFX to tell the entire story; median artists tend to use repetition (\u201cWhat? Y-you want me to take off my shirt and perform this incredibly specific fetish? Okay.\u201d); bad ones basically retreat from inhabiting a character to narrate.
[2] There are, broadly put, 3 types of recordings put out. Ones where the performer wrote the script (or at least conceived the scenario) themselves; \u201cramblefaps\u201d which is basically someone talking dirty while masturbating with no scenario; and script offer/script fills.
This last category might be the majority, it\u2019s where one writer will compose and post a script that performers then see and pick to record. It is ALMOST-ALWAYS cross-gender, so women will be performing fantasies composed by a straight man for an intended audience of straight men and vice versa.
[4] It is hetero as all hell. There is basically no queer content. SOMEtimes a woman will post a ramblefap marked F4A (\u201call\u201d) or a scenario where she mentions (to the male audience stand-in) that she\u2019s also into girls but that\u2019s it. Not even any sissification stuff that I could see, which is surprising cause those guys are all about the \u201cgirl softly talking nasty to you\u201d format.
(My experience is entirely off F4M performances, because I\u2019m also hetero as all hell.)
[5] A lot more women into Fsub fantasies, and a lot, lot, lot more into rape fantasies, than you might think based on common depiction of \u201cwhere is American womanhood at in 2019\u201d
Part of it surely is the more forbidden something is the more fetish fuel it is, part of it is surely the result of filtering on people who enjoy offering themselves up as a sexual outlet for strangers, and it\u2019s all just fantasy anyway. But I am reminded of those tube-site stats that showed that female viewers were really strongly drawn to videos with violence against women.
[6] There\u2019s a definite age split in the women performers that has a few effects.
Like half of them I get the vibe they\u2019re late 30s or 40s, that sweet spot in between \u201cbiker wife\u201d and \u201chas shelves specifically dedicated to SF/F\u201d. Renaissance faire sex freaks, basically. They mostly just seem to focus on whatever their tastes are.
The other of them are college students or early 20s, they\u2019re more likely to have a Patreon \u00a0and do custom commissions and treat it as a side-gig, posting on a regular weekly schedule and listening to other girls as *market research*. They\u2019ll still gravitate to their own kinks, but they seem to have a better sense of their output as product from the audience perspective.
Which is to say more\u2026 professional. Talking about it is still tabooed there, but I have the sense this is not the first time many of these girls have acted as erotic artists. This is the fruit of the generation that grew up with AO3, Omegle, Snapchat, Tumblr, ubiquitous and private cellphone cameras. I grew up consuming internet porn sure, they came up as producers - performers or curators. Of all the effects of ubiquitous internet porn on youths I\u2019ve heard speculated, I never heard anyone consider that by the time they\u2019re 22 or so they would come out really *good* at porn. I\u2019m interested what\u2019ll come of that. (We sure wouldn\u2019t have had rock and roll if no one under 18 played guitar.)
[7] It\u2019s adjacent to a lot of things, really. It\u2019s adjacent to camgirling, obviously. It\u2019s adjacent to ASMR, on the \u201cgirl pleasing you by talking softly in your ear\u201d beat. It\u2019s adjacent to erotica and h-manga just by being actually plotted, adjacent to podcasting and streaming in that it depends on a boom in prosumer audio recording equipment.
[8] There\u2019s a common pattern where people join, get really intensely involved for 6 months or so and then delete their account and fall away. And several people explain that this came from emotional burnout and intimacy overload. That one of the best ways to bond with someone is share an orgasm with them, and posting a popular audio you\u2019re basically sharing an orgasm with thousands of people.
And some of them reach out to you and there really is something in common, kinks at minimum, and you\u2019ve already exposed your vulnerability and your true inner self and that speeds intimacy along, and you\u2019ll record their scripts and vice versa or you\u2019ll at least message about your days, but after enough of this you\u2019ve accumulated TOO MANY INTIMATES, more than you have the time or emotional labor to service as a co-intimate but they didn\u2019t particularly do anything wrong so you feel bad about letting them down and eventually it builds up too much and\u2026
[9] Of course some that reach out there ISN\u2019T that bond, you hear they get a lot of harassment and whatnot and if even women talking about anodyne stuff on twitter get that you can imagine it for them. I mean, celebrities and porn stars have problems with stalkers and with them it\u2019s at broadly admitted that the characters they portray (at least before gonzo when they portrayed characters), or even the \u201ccelebrity\u201d persona (ostentatiously fake porn names!) are not the \u201creal them\u201d, here you don\u2019t even have that distance.
(And of course by now the business model of the old SFV studio porn is you *can* fuck the porn stars, no one makes much money off shoots anymore, it\u2019s advertising for their real career as high-end escorts. This is, incidentally, a similar model [maybe as \u201csugar baby\u201d or just \u201ctrophy wife\u201d] as long prevailed for even non-stripper dancers like ballerinas, cheerleaders, or rap video girls)
At the same time\u2026 around twitter and things you see people asking \u201cwhat could possibly make guys think women want to see their dick pics/breathy texts\u201d. And I mean, \u201cwell, for 20 minutes (or if you listen through a whole body of work 4 hours) she masturbated while whispering dirty things about herself in my ear and trying to get me excited by saying she wanted me and loves to be used by men without asking\u201d is probably the most reasonable possible answer there. If someone did that and then scolded you if you pulled your wang out or called her a filthy whore under other circumstances, it would just be odd. And I get that it matters that that wasn\u2019t specifically for you but \u201coh, she does that for any and every random stranger\u201d does not intuitively suggest more delicacy.
