Quinn is an audio erotica platform aimed at women.[2]
History
[edit]The Quinn website was launched in 2019, and it initially offered user-submitted audio-based and text-based erotica for free, with the option for users to tip creators.[1] The company shifted its business model since then in several ways, including making Quinn a paid subscription service, removing written erotica to exclusively offer audio, and paying their higher-performing content creators upfront.[1] The Quinn mobile app was released in 2021.[2][3]
In 2024, the company began hiring celebrities as voice actors, including Andrew Scott, Christopher Briney, and Jamie Campbell Bower among others.[3][4][5] The company's founder stated that producing audio "works nicely when audiences are hungry for more content from a given rising star but they're gonna have to wait months for [...] whatever it is, right? [...] [W]e can fill that space for talent and feed their audiences with this smutty audiobook project".[4] In late 2025, 80% of Quinn subscribers were in the 24-30 age range,[3] 83% of subscribers were women, and the company's revenue doubled between February and October 2025.[2]
On December 30, 2025, Quinn released the first two episodes of Ember and Ice, a gay romantasy series featuring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, the lead actors of the popular television series Heated Rivalry.[6] In January 2026, Quinn was criticized for removing a mention of trans women from a video interview with Storrie and Williams. In response, the company released a statement and donated approximately $25,000 to Trans Lifeline.[7][8]
