Do particular sounds send you over the edge… in a good way? When you listen to certain kinds of music, is it hard not to touch yourself?
What Is Auralism
Auralism means that you are aroused or stimulated by sound. Auralism is a broad term that can include so many different sounds and levels of arousal.
Sound fetishes and kinks indicate a sexual arousal to sounds and auditory stimulation. You may have an aural kink and not even realize it because you haven’t paid attention or you just see it as part of the overall sexual experience.
When you do acknowledge or discover a specific aural kink, you can explore it deeper for greater enjoyment and meaning.
10 Sound Kinks and Fetishes: Ways to Play
1. Heavy Breathing
Heavy breathing used to be associated with prank calls and creepy predators in horror movies but can also a turn on for those with an aural fetish. It can translate to sexual interest, lust, domination and control, and an intense arousal for the person breathing heavy.
Have your lover send you recordings of heaving breathing you can use during a masturbation session. Surprise your aural kink partner with a heaving-breathing, NSFW call at the office.

2. Dirty Talk
Who doesn’t like a little dirty talk during sex? While some of us go for silent sex on occasion, dirty talk instantly ramps up a scene. Once you know your lover’s hot button words or phrases, it’s like a magic wand you can pull out at any time.
Send dirty talk texts before a hookup to let your date know what you plan to do. Dirty talk is an easy way to build anticipation for things to come. Whisper naughty remarks into your date’s ear at the restaurant, so they will want to skip dessert and head to your place.

3. Sex Sounds
A blowjob without the sounds of sucking, slurping, and gagging just wouldn’t have the same intensity or thrill. Those sounds heighten the experience beyond tactile pleasure. A spank on a lover’s bottom would not be half as exciting without the sounds that accompany it.
Explore spanking with different implements—hand, whip, flogger, cane—and focus on the sounds that excite you both the most. Be attuned to the sexual sounds in your next encounter—what turns you on, and your partner.

4. Moaning and Orgasmic Sounds
Moans of pleasure really are the pinnacle of sound during sex. They not only turn a sound fetishist (and almost everyone else) on, but they express much more than pleasure.
Moans and other sounds of pleasure communicate to a partner how we feel, how and where we like to be touched, and how close we are to orgasm. Some like it loud while others may prefer quieter cooing during sex.

5. Audio Porn
If you do like earth-shattering orgasmic screams, you can always listen to these in porn when you find yourself without a loud lover. Audio porn, which only shares the sounds of sex, has been rising in popularity. It strips away the visuals you are accustomed to, to emphasize the sounds of sex.
Play porn on your earbuds on the train or bus to work. Your fellow commuters will wonder why you look so cheerful on an early Monday morning. Or listen to audio porn in the background of a make-out session, turning you both on without the visual distraction.

6. Non-Sexual Body Sounds
There are many body sounds that fall under the umbrella of auralism but that are fetishes in their own right. Some kinksters love to hear a person sneeze or blow their nose. Others will invite their partner to fart because they love the different sounds passing gas can make. Burping and belching can also be a turn on.
Encourage your lover to eat foods that cause gas if farting sounds arouse you. Some fart fetishists also like being farted on or forced to inhale a lover’s farts. If belching is a thing for you, dissuade a lover from suppressing their burps.

7. Music Fetish (Melolagnia)
Most people like music, even love music, but sexual arousal from music is different and called melolagnia. Just as there are many sounds that turn people on, there is diversity in the kinds of music that arouse a fetishist—jazz, blues, country, folk, emo, rock, metal, hip hop, rap, punk, reggae, ska, and on and on.
This is a kink that can be enjoyed solo, and is often used for masturbation. Some people also have what they may call their “sex songs” that they play when they are in the mood. Make a playlist reserved for different moods or BDSM scenes you fantasize about.

8. Erotic ASMR
ASMR stands for autonomous meridian sensory response. Whatever sound(s) you find most arousing will give you an overall sense of pleasure or satisfaction. You may also feel physical sensations like vibrations or tingling that make the hairs on your body stand up.
Research erotic ASMR to learn more about how sound deeply affects us. Listen to your sound kinks in the dark or with a blindfold on to enhance your experience. Take note of how these sounds affect your body without other distractions.

9. Erotic Hypnosis
Hypnosis, being put into a trance or under a psychological spell, can be arousing physically, mentally, and sexually. It may be the sound of one’s voice that puts us under, the sound of music or beats, the sound of nature.
Explore hypnosis or trance-like mediation techniques with a trusted lover. Practice naked in an already vulnerable state. Try both hypnotizing and being hypnotized. Attend a hypnosis workshop or hire a professional hypnotist.

10. Accents and Language Kinks
Sound kinks can be related to voices. Accents and language kinks are perhaps the most common voice kinks. How and what language someone speaks based on their environment, ethnicity, and culture, can be a huge turn on for someone with an accent or language kink.
Travel to parts of the world where people speak the language that makes you melt. Learn the language that arouses you to listen to. Watch specific movies to hear accents that turn your crank. Refine your dating apps to meet those with a specific accent or who speak the language you love.
