I don't mind reading porn aloud, but definitely feel awkward/uncomfortable when the gasps, moans, pleas and other noises are actually verbalized. I squicked myself the first time I tried to do sex noises. I've gotten more used to it now though (umm, you might not want to listen to my latest podfic if sex noises bother you, I swear 50% of the dialog was sex noises :S).
Oddly enough, it's dirty talk that scares the shit out of me now (but I've been squicked by how other podficcers have done dirty talk so that could be why). It's just... there are somethings that sound awesome in the heat of the moment or when you're reading over them but sound completely ridiculous when said aloud. Or, now that I think about it, it's the dirty talk that has that derogatory edge that can throw me out like whoa. Like calling someone slutty or similar. I can totally find it hot in a fic but the wrongness of the statement stands out when it's spoken out loud.
however, now that I think on it some more, some of it might translate *very* well, since some of the stories I'm thinking of rely heavily on pacing and emphasis to get the feel across I think that's definitely happened (although I guess it depends on the definition of "experimental stories"). Written by the Victors comes to mind. (The musical podfic I'm planning will hopefully fall into the "success" column)
