[Moans Exclusive] Aftercare Audio [Grounding] [Centering] [After Listening] [Evaluating What You Listened To] [Monitoring Feelings]

Hi!

I've had a few requests for this, but thanks to sheshe for a great suggestion as to how to do an aftercare audio in a 4th wall-breaking way--specifically for transitioning, grounding, centering or comforting yourself after listening to an audio, so you can go about your day or get to sleep.


Hope it's enjoyable and helpful. Thanks!

Not even coming from an audio just this on and off, neutral melancholic (if slight melancholy can be neutral?) feeling, but the one-two-three-four punch of “you’re safe,” “you’re okay,” “you’re yourself,” and the entire “I don’t know you, but I’m sure you’re a really lovely person.” segment made me tear up. This is such a kind audio. It’s never judgmental, never rushing, and it’s incredibly understanding of any circumstances that led the listener to it. I missed these types of audios so much at the other tier. It’s warm and soothing and grounding and even makes you laugh a couple times in here. It’s really beautiful. Thank you so much for making this. This and audios like the anxiety talks feel like hugs when you most need them.

You are just the sweetest, most calming, caring person, August. This was so patiently and thoughtfully done, thank you. I think its amazing that you're so aware of how these characters and scenarios can effect us, for good or bad... Mostly good, I promise! I fell asleep to this audio last night, wrapped up and relaxed, breathing deeply and way more comfortable than usual. I even dreamed for once. So much love to you, you're a gift to my ears (for all the reasons!) Thank you so much. x

may your sleeps be deep and peaceful, your mind relieved and light, and your loved ones safe and seen often

God I wish I had this to listen to when I was playing resident evil 😮‍💨

sav kate

Not made for post election anxiety but my god did this bring me comfort today

sheshe🧃

This is such a great analysis, Demoiselle! One thing that gets me about August's audios that you touched on is that he's just so polished you feel like he's THERE and his voice just kinda "sinks in" deeper into my brain. I'd read in the sunlight but, unfortunately, it kinda hurts my eyes so I settle for just reading with a lamp.

Right???? Aftercare audios are so thoughtful! It's like the Dirty Talk Audios "open you up" and the aftercare "zips you" back up again so you feel all cosy!

Words can't express how much this helped me, thank you 🥺

Loretti

Listening to this at work while stressed is soothing. Someone telling me that I’m OK. 😮‍💨🩵

Came running here after DT #17 took me to a place I had never gone before (extremely good), and I feel super anxious. This has never happened before. This was so lovely and effective. What a joy to support someone who is creating these audios with such intention, so much so that you'd have an audio aftercare audio haha. I do feel much better. In a butterfly hug, I repeated to myself, "I am allowed to experience really, really good things". Thank you, August 💗💗💗

not even gonna lie just saw long legs and am actually traumatized 😭 ik this is intended for after consuming erotic content but it surprisingly helped me chill tf out from the aftermath of a horror movie :3 ur tone and words are so caring, really helped me come back to reality after intense content. love u august 💕🫶

Hey um... Can anyone explain why after listening to this I had the most productive day I've had in months? What kind of sorcery is this?!

Dove

Okay I'm going back here because this audio was thoughtfully made and I feel like it deserves more than an off-hand comment. Like some people here, I don't necessarily need a separate aftercare audio; I only ever listen to August and the aftercare included in them is top-tier, imo. Most, if not all of his audios end in this sweet and slow transition back to reality; and that's good enough for me. But ofc everyone is different and it's so nice to read other's experiences, and learn from them. I love that August always suggest healthy things to do like read a book, work out, or go for a walk. It added motivation for me to go and do all three today, so thanks! Idk what's gonna happen if he ever tells me to like, drown my worries with alcohol or intentionally make bad decisions, I probably would also do them lol Other things I liked in this audio: -- When he's talking all gentle and serious, then some random thought pops into his head, and he has to correct himself and end up saying something unintentionally funny -- Reading mentions! I've gotten back into reading this year and yessss, reading outside is suuuuuuper nice. I was on vacation last week and reading by the beach, under a tree, sipping mango shake is one of the best things ever! -- The way you can hear his smile when he said "I'm here, I got you.. let's go" it made it funny somehow lol -- "I never feel like I breathe slow enough so, try to breathe slower than me. Or I'll try to breathe really slow" made me lowkey feel like I'm in a breathing race with this guy. I hope August and all the lovely people here get their before-, during-, and after-care they want from the right people! xx

Demoiselle

Thank you so much for this, I don’t have the right words to express how meaningful this is to me. Thank you so much 🩷

Steph

I listened to this after playing Resident Evil and August’s assurances that I am safe felt incredibly wonderful lol

Demoiselle

Oh August, this is truly so lovely. In particular, the part beginning at 15:39 is deeply kind and emblematic of the level of care and humanity you bring to your work. ❤️

Rose S.

Affirmations audios are usually too generic for me to focus, but the fact that this one is rooted in some context (primarily intended for nsfw audio listeners) and gives us (an appropriate, tasteful amount of) your personality is nice. I actually sleep well with your voice playing in the background regardless of the audio (sleep aid!), but the comfort element in this one is very helpful. A nice balm to soothe some ongoing pains. 🩵🤍

odile of the lake🪽

love love love this

kenna

I’ve already listened to this on 4 separate occasions and not once have I made it to the end because your voice is so calm and soothing that it’s so easy to slip into the most relaxing sleep ever ✨ top tier sleep aid right here 🛌

roxyyy

This was so lovely.. felt like a hug

Sarah

This is my first sfw audio ever (needed something to do while weed eating lmao we’re in dire straits out here), and it was amazing. I’m a convert. Catch me tending to my garden with sfw August poppin off

bestieplstryquinn

so nice & relaxing 🥰 this feels like a sunday afternoon, esp the mention of taking a walk or going to the library. i love walking to the library‼️

ky 💌❣️✨

Yess I enjoyed it so much! Loved the themes of childhood nostalgia and omg Adam Brody?? Yes please‼️

sarah 💫

This works really well for those darker smutty books

Samaru

The Kid Detective was so well-written!!

Andrea

“You’re yourself” is a line that hits me so hard every time. It’s a really simple but necessary reminder that I can always come back to myself 💌 I don’t usually seek aftercare stuff but like Ari said, I think this audio works really well for just general relaxation/grounding, esp after reading or watching content with darker themes? Sometimes I’ll read/watch something with an especially harrowing scene and it can be hard to “shake it off” and remember that HEY that’s not actually happening to me. also really appreciate that your relaxation audios aren’t super Formal, like the conversational tone, little laughs, and small random peeks into your day are really lovely and calming. Thanks so much for this peaceful, centering audio! Also idk if you’ve heard of the movie “kid detective” (2020) but it sounds like it might be up your alley as the plot is p much the exact same as the graphic novel you’re reading 🔍📖

sarah 💫

this week was insane for me work wise (lots of projects and lots of due dates and only one me) so this was a really lovely and nice little check in. very needed. 🫶 i know we all go crazy for the NSFW audios (rightfully so, they’re certified bangers), but if you ever decide to do meditative only audios, i’m so down. you’ve totally got the voice and personality for it.

essie ✨

I loved listening to this on my way home from a kinda disappointing day at work. I especially appreciate the call to name what your body is feeling! I have such a hard time identifying what I feel more often than not, so I didn't even realize I needed that!

schlumps

I decided to listen to this while winding down for the evening, and put it on while washing dishes and tidying up with the lights kinda low. And it was really, really lovely. It was so soothing and grounding to be reminded that I was safe, and that I was alright, and to just breathe through it. Thank you, August 🥹🫶 (ps hope you felt better/less stiff after you wrapped this one!)

whiskey 🍒

needed this after a long day! thanks August <3333 I also really appreciate your dedication to ensuring there’s a clear line between supporter/listener and creator! It’s really refreshing and I think you navigate it well, especially with this. Very glad I became a Patreon and can support!

R

Listened to this after friendly neighbor audio and honestly your audios are so respectful I rarely (never) need aftercare? But this was v grounding. And the reminders to distinguish the creator from the work and that we can always choose to stop listening are appreciated

Andrea

Me, using this to feel restored and balanced again after doing errands, laundry, and other chores all evening 😅 (it’s lovely August thank you for making this audio I promise I’ll use it for its intended purpose sometime soon)

hc

Omg I’m just a simple person I saw 4th wall break I clicked 🙈

rosiex77

I’m only a fourth of the way through and can say I love what I’ve read so far!

Lo

This was so gentle and deeply calming. It’s always nice to take some time to return to your breath and your center. I find it soothing when you add “You’re safe, you’re okay” at the end of an audio, even if it wasn’t intense. Idk why but it’s nice lol

DivineFeminine

Butting in to say it’s on my TBR! I hear it’s really good.

Thelnie

So sweet and relaxing! Thanks for this! 😊

El

Thanks for reminding me to sit down and read again 😅 I need to finish Jade City lol

Lo

Damn, this is so good...

Arya

This is the audio equivalent of a warm plate of cookies with a mug of hot chocolate on a winter's evening. So cozy and nice, thank you for this 🫶🏾

Pomme

aftercare??? let me just get into my 20lb weighted blanket n listen🥹

amy

This audio was a warm fluffy blanket on a cold night. 😴 Thank youuuu and also, my partner wants to guess if the graphic novel is Friday 🕵️

Thelnie

portobello mention 😀

ky 💌❣️✨

Thank you so much for dedicating the time to make this. It’s very special as there’s really not much non-bfe aftercare out there, even though it seems an important thing. Your voice is incredibly soothing so I knew you’d produce something great no matter what, but all the details, check-ins, affirmations, and calming reminders you included made it even better than I hoped. I’ll revisit this one often. Thanks again 💛

sheshe

August, your velvety voice and laughter wrap themselves around me like the embrace of a long lost lover. Thank you for everything that you do, love ♥️

Nue

This is perfect for audio hangovers or as a sleep aid. I actually listened while working because it’s nice to have soothing, chatty audios in the background. Thank you!

Lauren (the one with the cat)

a sorely needed aftercare audio of the non bfe variety.. if i’m not mistaken sheshe suggested something like this before? much appreciated, August! thank you 🫶🏻

Lizzy 💃🏻

fellow film girl!! i too am constantly impressed by august’s work & then procrastinate my own. welcome to the patreon!

ari

feeling: grateful :) this audio is so nice

wiggie

i don’t often find myself needing aftercare but i will probably be using this audio for my general anxiety along w the other sfw audios - i love just listening to people talk (esp when it’s not rlly directed at me) so whenever august talks about his day/what he’s doing/random stuff it is super relaxing! also loved the reality checks, phoebe said the audio “felt like touching grass” & that’s so accurate 😭 i struggle w grounding myself so it’s always helpful to hear someone else state the facts like … leading a horse to grass. or something. PORTOBELLO! anyway this was nice. i hope everyone here has a good day

ari

realest thing i’ve ever said on here: how fucking cool is it to be alive at the same time that augustinthewinter is active on patreon

wiggie

Girl same! First time I listened, his voice hit me so hard! I can’t even listen to a SFW audio because of the pavlovian response I have! I do not regret diving into a year membership here, best money ever spent!!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Sjöfn

okay, here goes. while I was ~browsing~ the internet a few weeks ago, I found a nsfw audio of august’s not really expecting anything out of it. it was the gamer friend one….and oh my god… I never experienced such immediate attraction to somebody’s voice before. it ruined everybody else for me. like, I couldn’t find a username attached to it at first and i knew I’d be thinking about that voice for ages wondering where I could find more. (luckily, this didn’t take me too long after some investigating) august, seriously, thank you. I only planned on subscribing for a month to see what it was like and I don’t think I can leave. if you didn’t seem like such a sweet person maybe I wouldn’t stick around, but I find the captions you post with your audios so endearing. you don’t see men prioritizing women’s pleasure usually and to see that here is just so… hot. as a film girl, I deeply admire the sound design too. it’s not easy!! like, I enjoy watching foley artists and editors do their work. makes it even more special, you know? enhances the magic. I listened to your audio process recently and it’s making me wish I wasn’t stuck in adobe’s evil clutches. I’d like to get to know pro tools someday, even though I’m not much of a sound mixer. I’m gonna stop procrastinating my own editing work now looking forward to the next one :) - s 🌧️

I feel so welcomed 🥺 Listening to Valentine's day audio then coming straight here to talk about how I now wanna be in a committed relationship with my boyfriend's best friend

Kizø

some of my favourite audios that i frequently return to are the ones with aftercare, so i can already tell this is going to be the perfect addition to my returning favourites 💖 thank you so much for taking on this request for us moans!~

alisha 🌱

This is such a great idea. Thanks to anyone who suggested this and can't wait to listen.

geekinthepink

holy shit love this. felt like touching grass.

Phoebe

I had an awful experience last night and I'm having trouble moving on from it so I can't wait to listen to this because your voice often manages to soothe me (and sometimes put me to sleep haha) 🫣🫶

Riri
