Dipsea Wrapped: Your Annual Audio Smut Recap
2025 came in hot, and so did our beloved community. This year in the Dipseaverse, we fed all kinds of delicious cravings: more of the fan-faves, brought the beloved Mr. Darcy to life, an extra-dark collab with bestselling romance author Sierra Simone, and triumphant returns of beloved classics (Gods & Men, Homecoming, and Close Companions fans, we see you).
And because you’re all insatiable (in all of the best ways 😉) we dropped our longest audios yet, finally saw a Seb & Benj hookup, and Juliette swept you away to 5 new cities.
We’re a small but mighty team here at Dipsea, and nothing we do is possible without our community… your listens, your love, your feedback (hi, new User Reviews feature 👀). To everyone who spent time wandering the Dipseaverse this year: thank you. You make this pleasure-centered world possible, and we’re honored to be a place where you can explore, unwind, and indulge in the smut that moves you.
Now, let’s dive into the spicy details.
Stats & Highlights
TL;DR: You devoured Dipsea this year.
30.3 million minutes spent… let’s just say getting the job done 👏
Nearly 4 million streams across the Dipseaverse
1,300+ chapters and counting now living in your library
Over 16,000 minutes of audio (that’s 268 hours -- or over 11 straight days of non-stop listening)
2025 Belonged to the Doms
Your top category? She/He Doms.
Turns out, being bossed around (consensually) is extremely in.
This year, you wanted someone who knew exactly what you needed before you even pressed play. You wanted structure. You wanted command. You wanted…
Your boys made a major comeback this year, and we finally gave you what you’ve been begging for: your favorite boyfriends finally hooking up. Why did it take us so long? Because we know you love a little delayed gratification. Go on--admit it 😏
Not only did these two hotties top the character charts, but Leather & Lace landed as the #2 top series this year! And while the series may have wrapped for the time being, the fantasies don’t have to. With nearly four hours of Seb & Benj in your library, you can hit replay whenever you’re missing them.
If you’re just starting out, we’d say start from the beginning with Leather & Lace 1 and 2, but if you’re feeling picky we also like Leather & Lace 9: Another Round, Seb + Benj + You: Tag Team and Seb + Benj Overheard: Together.
Looking for a series with similar energy? Try out Say Yes for something that’s like Leather & Lace gone sapphic.
Because two is ✨always✨ better than one.
Juliette swept you across five cities this year—and about twenty more if you're someone who’s constantly revisiting The Ticket. She’s been a star hitter in the Dipseaverse from day one, and 2025 was no different.
There’s something irresistible about not knowing everything. Our team is still debating the same questions you are: Is she a spy? A fixer? A femme fatale with a passport full of secrets?
With Juliette, the mystery is the fantasy, and that’s the beauty of spicy audio… your imagination does half the work, and makes it even hotter.
The Ticket continues to be one of our most popular WLW series and we saw you all playing The Ticket 12: Back of the Limo on repeat this year 😈 If you haven’t already devoured the series, start from the top or close your eyes, put your finger on a map, and see if Juliette can take you there… IYKYK.
He came onto the scene in 2024 -- a deep-voiced Dom with a taste for toys… and control. By 2025, he didn’t just rise; he ascended 📈 He’s one to take charge, set the pace, and push you exactly where you want (dare we say, need) to go.
You all can’t get enough of his private lessons: Is it the tension? The toys? The secret heat that builds with every encounter he orchestrates? Whichever part pulls you in, he always meets your curiosity with control and your surrender with pleasure.
And if you’re truly deep in the Dipseaverse, you already know his voice has… range. You can find his alter egos all over the library: Dangerous Games, Secret Rooms, Five Years, and even a few OG freestanding gems for the real day-ones. And if you want a 10/10 chapter, we say check out Xavier + You: Call Me Daddy if you haven’t already.
🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮
There are, of course, countless characters to fall for in the Dipseaverse, but now it’s time to zoom out. Let’s meet the worlds, the tropes, and the series you lived inside this year.
Top Series That Defined Your 2025
You didn’t just fall for dominant characters this year, you fell into entire worlds. These smutty series delivered the tropes, the tension, the accents, the fantasies, and the sapphic slow burns that kept you coming back for more. Here are the universes that ruled your 2025…
Through the Smoke:
A dark romance with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers core, created in collaboration with bestselling romance author Sierra Simone. Less forbidden, more inevitable--the tension smolders in every chapter.
Need proof? Listeners are already begging for more: “I really hope we get 30 chapters of Sawyer.” Same, tbh.
✨✨✨
Lecture Me:
Professor/student tension at its finest. A dynamic built on intellect, authority, and carefully controlled heat. It’s the kind of “you shouldn’t… but you absolutely will” energy that keeps you coming back.
New here? We recommend starting with Lecture Me 1: Extra Credit and James + You: That's My Girl-- and yes, there will be a quiz later.
✨✨✨
Raise The Bar:
A classic boss/employee power play, delivered by a top who knows exactly how to use authority for… shall we say… productive purposes. Perfect for listeners who crave structure, command, and a dash of after-hours temptation.
Before Q1 hits, consider reviewing Raise the Bar 1: More than a Rumor and Raise the Bar 9: Proud of You.
Hometown:
Jack thought he’d never see Gia again--but you? You never stopped coming back to him. This Dipsea classic remains one of your top-listened to series in 2025, proof that a good second-chance story never goes out of style.
With 32 chapters and almost 400 minutes of small-town tension… you can start from the beginning (Hometown 1: In the Front Seat), or dive into Hometown 14: Autumn Nights, the top new-release in 2025.
✨✨✨
The Highlander:
A burned-out New Yorker, a sleepy bookshop, and one notoriously gruff Scottish sailor-- The Highlander hits every fantasy: fresh starts, rugged accents, and a man who pretends not to care until he absolutely does.
Lachlan’s salty, possessive, Scottish energy carried him straight into top character material. If you don’t already know him, let your obsession begin with “You… You’re Mine, Lass,” the #4 top track of 2025.
✨✨✨
The Local:
Sabrina wasn’t expecting Ireland to hit this hard -- but Killian tends to have that effect. This cocky Irish pub owner with a soft, secret heart, has turned The Local into one of the most listened to series of the year (and many years before). And yes, we saw how obsessed you were with this year’s big release, “Killian + You: Movie Night.”
One listener summed it up perfectly: “My favorite character. Dirty & romantic. And that giggle. 🔥”
The Detour:
Our most bingeable sapphic series, created in collaboration with the brilliant bestselling sapphic romance author, Meryl Wilsner. The Detour blends road-trip tension, unexpected intimacy, and that slow-burn chemistry you can’t shake once it starts.
We don’t normally tell you to follow the crowd… but for this one? Yeah, binge it. You'll thank us later.
✨✨✨
Homecoming:
A 2023 release that stormed back into your 2025 queue like it never left. Homecoming is a WLW classic: frenemies, sparks, and that “oh no… I like her” moment you replay every time. A true comeback hit.
✨✨✨
Gods & Men:
Gods & Men mixes myth, seduction, and power-play heat in a way that still hits like thunder years later. You were very clear about wanting more M/M stories. The DMs, reviews, comment sections… we saw it all 👀.
We're working on it — but until then, feel free to press play and kneel to this classic.
The Hunt:
Newly released this year, The Hunt is a dark romantasy that knows exactly where the line is — and how to play right up to it. A missing twin, ancient rituals of power and submission, and Nolan, a mysterious hunter who claims you to keep you safe. This bond-forged series grips you from the first chapter.
✨✨✨
Wings of Winter:
Our first-ever romantasy series keeps on pulling you in. A deadly fae competition, an endless winter, and one human who was never meant to catch Rowan’s eye. This is a series you’ll want to experience in order — the tension builds chapter by chapter. But also, we know you all love some 1:1 time with Rowan, so we also recommend Rowan + You: Magical Healing and Rowan + You: Together in the Tent.
✨✨✨
Avalon Academy:
Between Elliot, Rory, and the dark magic pulsing through Avalon’s halls, nothing is as it seems. Evie's choices could rewrite her future—and the Academy’s. One of your top bingeable series this year — go ahead, fall down the rabbit hole (again).
🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮
We could spend hours wandering these worlds, but some of you like to get right to the good stuff. So for the plot-optional crowd, let’s talk moans, touch, and the tracks that got you feeling things (even if that feeling was just sleepy 😴).
No Plot, All Pleasure: Top Non-Narrative Audios of 2025
Sometimes you don’t need all the story, just sound design. These story-less tracks helped you wind down, relax, and of course…get off. ;)
Overheards:
Our no-plot-just-pleasure corner of the universe. Pure sound, pure heat, pure “don’t worry about the story.” These were your top listens of the year:
Dave Overheard: In The Office
Jack + Gia Overheard: Listen In
Lachlan Overheard: Cozy Cabin
Seb + Benj Overheard: Together
Wellness:
When you needed presence instead of plot, these guided touch sessions had your back (and your whole body). Here are your top wellness listens of 2025:
Self Touch: Glow Up, Edging, Nipple Play
Partner Pleasure: Giving & Receiving
Sleep:
And when you wanted less smut and more snooze, these tracks tucked you right in. How very Sleepytime Tea Bear of you.
Here’s to You, and to What’s Next
Thank you for making the Dipseaverse what it is. You showed up in record numbers this year—listening, swooning, moaning (we have the Overheard data, we know), exploring new genres, revisiting old flames, and building a world with us one chapter at a time.
Your love for these stories fuels every script, every recording session, every new idea pinned to our walls. You inspire us to go darker, sweeter, spicier, stranger, softer—whatever your fantasies call for next.
🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮
2025 was spicy. 2026 is about to be even spicier. We’re so glad you’re here with us.
