A new generation of women is launching podcasts, websites and apps featuring erotic content that prioritizes the female perspective — all in the name of improving sexual wellbeing. | AFP

For Billie Quinlan, the co-founder of the Britain-based Ferly, it was time for erotica to explore new formats.

Ferly’s mission is to “rewrite these narratives by being thoughtful, honest and diverse in our stories,” Quinlan said in an email.Nearly all of the podcasts last from five to 35 minutes. Some of the plots are sophisticated, with changes in venue and multiple characters. Caroline Spiegel, the founder of Quinn, says that with her site’s content, “you feel like you are really in the room with someone having sex with them. It’s very different from watching something.”

But similar podcasts and apps are also taking off in other countries, like in France, where Arte Radio broadcasts a show called “Paths of Desire”. And while the stigma long associated with erotica — read: Playboy wrapped in paper covers — has not entirely disappeared, it is fading.
