Snake wrangler and reality TV star Rob Rausch has added another unexpected gig to his repertoire: whispering sultry stories for your listening pleasure.
“This ol’ girl, her car breaks down, and, uh, he helps her out,” Rausch says in a teaser for “Snake Handler,” a reptile sanctuary-set romance on the audio platform Quinn.
The viral heartthrob, who rose to fame on “Love Island USA” and “The Traitors,” is part of a growing wave of celebrities and content creators foraying into the world of audio erotica.
The format, which has previously been confined to certain corners of the internet, is being embraced by many women as an alternative to traditional visual porn. Its rise coincides with the popularity of sexually explicit (or smutty) romance books, including author Rachel Reid’s steamy gay hockey romance-turned-TV show “Heated Rivalry.”
The show’s stars, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, were even tapped to narrate a story for Quinn, in a moment that underscored a broader embrace of the space. Since its December debut, “Ember & Ice,” an enemies-to-lovers story, has been listened to more than 3.5 million times on Quinn, according to the app’s founder.
