Which do you prefer: otome CDs, all-ages or R18?

There are a lot of R18 CDs for women uploaded here, so it made me wonder which type people actually listen to more.
Most of the people I've met here seem to prefer all-ages CDs, so I was curious.
Or is it simply because there are fewer all-ages CDs being released?

Maybe it's partly because of my age that I enjoy listening to R-18 content more, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy all-age and R-15 content. It's probably because I feel like the seiyus for all-age and R-15 titles are people I recognize from anime or games, so I feel like I've heard enough of them from those sources. Unlike R-18 titles, which mostly use pseudonyms and I don't even know their real names, which is what makes me intrigued with their works.

Actually, I've noticed that there aren't many titles released in the all-ages category, but looking at Animal Planet as an example (which, as you may know, operates under the name Lamina Planet in the R18 section), they're still able to release all-ages titles. But this is just my thought—maybe seiyuus who can do all-ages work might be busy with other projects like anime or games, or maybe the creator itself thought had enough of otome games combined with drama CDs tokutens.

I probably have more R-18 drama cds than R-15 or all ages. But other than the hot scenes (lol), I love when the drama cd have story.

Ah, I really understand what you mean. Thank you for your comment!
With all-ages content, where voice actors work under their usual public names, I tend to go in with a certain expectation of how they'll perform, so while it's stable and enjoyable, it feels more predictable. On the other hand, when a new pseudonym appears in R-18 works, it's really exciting and makes me look forward to what kind of performance they'll deliver.
I see, that makes sense. I only recently started listening to all-ages content, so I'm not very familiar with it yet. I appreciate you sharing your perspective.
And yes, I understand that popular, well-known voice actors are likely very busy with many projects. Still, as a listener, I do hope creators will always continue to pursue new works and fresh releases.

I get it. Sometimes I'm in the mood to listen to something that's just purely erotic audio, but most of the time, I tend to rate drama CDs much higher when they have a solid and engaging story.
That said, unfortunately, I don't actually remember many R-18 works that stood out to me for their story. Maybe it's just because I often fall asleep while listening, so I end up hearing them in bits and pieces lol.

True, true! I also wish there'll more all-ages works so that people who are new to the world of drama CDs can start by listening to that content first! Tried to look at DLsite all-age, obey me and A3! released an ASMR CD are good moves www

I also curious with ギャップ日和 series since the cover made by my fav shoujo manga artist
