Immersive, intimate and sexy, Quinn is the app that is changing the forefront of how we experience pleasure. 

Created in 2019, Quinn, created by women for everyone is a space where audio erotica comes alive think of it as Spotify for all things audio smut. The app features erotic stories to ignite personal passion and sexual wellness, amongst the many erotic stories Quin also collabs with the latest internet heartthrob or celebrity the world is pining over. 

Writer Niamh, takes you through her experiences using Quinn and what her top 4 picks are. But make sure your headphones are on!

4 – Rent Free

If you’re anything like me and the J’LO dance scene has lived in your mind rent free, from the hit show Off The Campus, then this ones for you! Characters Allie and Dean from the show, played by Mika Abdalla and Stephan Kalyn, turn off the cameras and pick up the mics in this friends to lovers heated romance.

Spice level – 3.5/5

3 – Comprised

Quinn has something for everyone of all sexualities! Here is one for my women loving women:

Think spies, enemies to lovers and plenty of spice! Victoria Pedretti known for her roles in You and the Haunting of Hill House, turns the heat up as Agent Andie Jones in this tense thriller Compromised.

You, the listener, named Zara Lyken accidently bumps into Andie at the baggage claim in Newark Airport and you accidently take her backpack that is believed to contain a hard drive with stolen data. This resulting in the two of you meeting up in the hotel and one thing leads to another. Without giving too much away, the sexual tension will have you kicking your feet.

2 – Ember and Ice

Sadly dear listener, you are not the main character in this one but I think Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie will make up for it in this hot fantasy male on male romance!

In Ember and Ice, we hear Hudson and Connor star as two fae princes Finn and Dane who are from fueding courts. The two boys end up in each others proximity after Dane is sent off to get “whipped” into shape and learn to behave better by Finn, the perfect role model of his realm.

This immersive, detailed and expressive world that is built up, is truly one of dreams, a fairy tale! Romantic flying sessions, intimate scenes by a hidden pond, and a forbidden love that may leave you a tiny bit heartbroken. But no spoilers here, you will just have to listen to find out why.

This is one of passion!

1 – The Trials

It’s magical, it’s enemies to lovers, praising and teasing! But most importantly it’s Jamie Campbell Bower taking the reins, being dominant and telling you exactly what he is going to do you.

My favourite pick due to butterflies this creates. So intimate, as if you can feel his breathe on your necks as the story evolves in the safe space that is you, your headphones and probably best, your bedroom!

The star of The Mortal Instruments but best known for playing the lead evil character Vecna in Stranger Things, he is not a stranger to being dark and dominant. In this seductive series we hear Jamie play Theo Deschamps, an heir to a powerful magical legacy. He receives and invitation to compete for a place in the Black Ravens an exclusive secret society. That is where he meets you, but in this your named Jane, and the two of you join forces to get through the competition trials.

Due to the close proximity, you end up spending a lot of time with on another over the series and trust me the heat rises. Perfect for those who love a slow burn, plenty of sexual tension and heated scenes that are truly worth the wait.

With it being one of the more popular Quinn originals, The Trials got a sequel: The Trials: Winter Solstice which sees you and Theos relationship develop. Power dynamics change and you take charge! This is one for lovers of dark academia but wished some had a sexy twist.

Spice 4.9 / 5

Quinn has seen its popularity rise with their 300,000 users tuning in for about 24 million minutes of audio every month. Thanks to popular Book Tok trends, a catalogue of thousands audio stories and scenes spanning over a 145 categories, Quinn has something for everyone to explore their true desires.

After I dived into the Quinns’ world of fantasy, forbidden romance and breathless tension, it is easy to see why the app has become such a hit. Quinn has found a way to make intimacy immersive, it felt to me personal and something genuinely exciting.

I was sceptical at first, I felt myself completely pulled into the experience, fully invested, instantly playing the next episode. I learnt through Quinn that it feels like a new way of exploring pleasure and storytelling, proving the most powerful scene are the ones left entirely to your own imagination.

These might be my top four but there’s many more for you to explore for yourself.
