LOS ANGELES — Erotic storytelling and audio entertainment are on the rise, and the mainstream press is taking notice.

Declaring that “a new wave of female-led businesses want to help women get off,” TechCrunch writer Kate Clark recently explored the growing world of erotic audio in context of the overall consumer trend towards more audio options — from audio books to podcasts, custom recordings and beyond.

Noting the recent venture capital investments in companies such as podcasting platforms Himalaya and WaitWhat, along with Spotify’s acquisition of podcast startups Anchor and Gimlet, Clark turned her attention to Dipsea, a San Francisco-based app for delivering short-form erotic audio stories.

Launched this past December, Clark reports that the female-founded Dipsea raised $5.5 million in investment capital, underscoring the widespread appeal of this growing market, which an XBIZ contributing writer has proclaimed as being music to consumer's ears.
