What Is a Voice Kink?
Do you feel weak in the knees when you hear a Parisian woman speaking? Does your cock jump when you watch Marilyn Monroe coo on screen? Do you get wet when an Australian asks if he can buy you a drink?
The voice kink is all about being attracted to and turned on sexually by another person’s voice—the sound, cadence, texture, and tone. You could say that the voice kink is an extension of auralism, sexual excitement or arousal caused by sound.
Most of us are turned on by sexual grunts and groans and moans we hear our lover make or we hear in porn videos, and these are included in the voice kink, but the voice kink is more often about the way a person naturally speaks.
Everyone has a unique voice, some soft and calming while others are biting and commanding. Voices change in different situations and with different people. Sometimes the chameleon-like quality that voices possess is what fetishists find so alluring—the unpredictability.

A person with a voice kink will be aroused by hearing specific types of voices or sounds a person elicits. Yet there are also many people who love a type of voice, an Irish accent for example, but who don’t consider themselves to have a voice kink.
The voice kink can develop through early imprinting. A person may be attracted to a specific type of voice because of an early association with that sound being comforting or sexy. A kink for a sound may also remind a person of something less positive, though the familiarity is what draws them to it.

Let’s look at some examples of different voice kinks.
10 Voice Kinks & Fetishes
1. Deep Voice Kink
Deep voices have always carried a sexy attachment. The hunky protagonists of film and TV shows rarely show up with a squeak of a voice. Deep voices can impy strength, power, and dominance. Sometimes the deep voice comes unexpectedly from an unassuming person and that juxtaposition can be a turn on in itself.

2. Gravely/Husky Voice Kink
Whether natural or a result of too many late nights with scotch and cigarettes, a gravely voice has long been associated with bad boys and mysterious, elusive loners. A woman’s rough sounding voice will often be described as husky, and she too will give off a bad girl vibe that many men find irresistible.

3. Accent Kink
Accents are unique and exciting and are perhaps the most common of all voice kinks. Some fetishists will be attracted to anyone who sounds different than themselves. Others may have a thing for one specific accent. A slight accent may elicit goosebumps or it may take a thick, strong accent for arousal.
Some people are so easily seduced by the sound of a particular accent that their judgment of character can be impaired. For example, a man could be a real jerk, but a woman who has a fetish for his accent may not see this for a long time.

4. Language Kink
Another voice kink related to culture is the language voice kink. You may not even know what the person at the bar beside you is saying, but you are aroused by the sound of their language.
While some languages may naturally sound more sexy than others, like all kinks, to each their own. A submissive man may like the commanding inference of one language while a dominant may be more attracted to a softer sounding language.

Whispers denote secrecy, and who doesn’t love a good secret? It’s rare to find a person whose natural voice sounds like a whisper, but that’s okay because we can all whisper sweet nothings or something dirtier into a lover’s ear if that’s what turns their crank.
