Move over, ASMR -- it seems audio erotica is the latest way to make hearts race.
Searches for the term have skyrocketed by 67% in just three months, and listeners around the globe are swooning over sultry celebrity narrations.
Leading the new wave of steamy storytelling is The Summer I Turned Pretty star Christopher Briney, who just announced his collaboration with the audio erotica app Quinn.
Briney is set to lend his voice to Hidden Harbour, a new immersive romance series -- and let's just say, the internet is already thirsty.
TikTok is overflowing with reaction videos of fans blushing, gasping, and fanning themselves over the actor's 'dangerously smooth' delivery.
But Briney isn't the only one melting headphones. According to a new study from lingerie brand Pour Moi, Irish men are officially the sexiest voices on Earth.
The research asked listeners to rate 100 celebrity voices on pitch, tone, speed, and overall appeal -- then compared the results with scientific data on what makes a voice sexy.
The verdict? The Irish are irresistible.
Taking second place globally is none other than Paul Mescal, the Maynooth-born star of Normal People and the upcoming Gladiator II. His rugged, husky tone and easy calm apparently make listeners weak at the knees.
Hot on his heels is Jamie Dornan, who lands in fifth place. The Fifty Shades of Grey star's sensual Northern Irish lilt was described by one listener as 'like being wrapped in a velvet blanket.' No arguments here.
And it's not just Irish charm that's turning heads -- Celtic accents in general are having a moment. More than half of the top 10 male voices were Irish or Scottish, proving that the rolling Rs and musical tones of the Isles remain utterly irresistible.
Chris Hemsworth topped the charts overall, proving that his cheeky Australian drawl is as powerful as Thor's hammer. In second place, Salma Hayek's rich Mexican-American accent was found to be the most seductive female voice -- outshining stars like Florence Pugh and Dua Lipa.
Whether it's Mescal's soft-spoken Irish sincerity or Dornan's confident Northern tones, science has spoken: the sexiest voices in the world come from the Emerald Isle.
And with audio erotica booming, don't be surprised if your next celebrity crush, or the fella from down the road is whispering sweet nothings straight into your earbuds.
