It’s never too late to make a New Year’s resolution, especially when it’s to spice things up in the bedroom. As we head into the first month of 2025, sexual wellness brand Satisfyer has compiled a list of some of the most exciting sex trends that we can expect to see more of this year. Whether it be learning more about BDSM or attending a sexual wellness retreat, utilise the next 12 months to listen to what sexual fantasies you wish to explore. Unsure where to start looking? Why not check out these four upcoming trends to see if any pique your interest?
Erotic escapism
It’s January. It’s cold. It gets dark at 3 pm. We are all in need of a bit of escapism. But have you considered that escapism could be pretty steamy? 2025 is all about losing yourself in erotic media. We’re so over being ashamed about reading smut on the commute to work! Apps like audio erotica site Quinn have been changing the game when it comes to erotic escapism, and we’re likely to see more and more exciting new ways to tap into your imagination in the coming year.
Sexual wellness retreats
If you’re looking for a safe space to rediscover your sexuality, strengthen self-confidence and understand your own sensuality, then a sexual wellness retreat or workshop might just be for you. Mindfulness is so in this 2025, so why not apply it to your sex life too? Taking a step back from the bedroom can actually help you to discover where things are lacking and what you’d like to improve. With tons of LGBTQIA-specific classes and workshops out there, it can be a space to have a quiet moment of reflection.
The CUV-zone
Have you heard of what is being dubbed the “second G-spot”? The CUV-zone is an abbreviation that stands for the clitoris, urethra, and vaginal wall. Located near the cervix, many people have said that gentle pressure and stimulation can bring a new wave of pleasure.
Karezza
It’s not all about orgasms this year. Karezza is a practice which is all about focusing on deep emotional connection and intimacy with a partner during sex rather than reaching for that o. By putting conscious thought into your movements during sex, you can get closer to your own body and advocate better for your wants and desires.
