For an increasing number of boys, the first conception of the female body arrives via porn. “Then how do men grow up?” asks Elisabeth Ranft, a promoter of audio erotica. “They grow up thinking a woman’s body can belong to them – that the naked female body is theirs for consumption.”
Ranft is part of the team behind Femtasy, one of the leading makers of pornography for your ears – adult content offering an audio alternative to the increasingly violent material normalised on the likes of Pornhub. Apps such as Femtasy, and rivals including Quinn and Dipsea, have become big business in the adult industry, boasting of hundreds of thousands of committed users and landing many of their female creators – Quinn’s Caroline Spiegel and Dipsea’s Gina Gutierrez and Faye Keegan – on respective Forbes “30 Under 30” lists.
