Most of the time when we think of being ‘trends’ we end up thinking about latest fashion fads or perhaps a lifestyle change. However, there are also some trending topics within the realm of sex and intimacy.

If you wish to spice up your life between the sheets, here are some trends that could help. Even if everyone’s sexual preferences are unique, these innovative, modern twists show there is always something new to be discovered and explored in the world of sex. Here are three sex-related trends that are prevalent in 2019.

Polyamorous Relationships
Sex and relationships involving multiple partners have been around for all recorded history which took a while in the modern times to get accepted. However, an increasing acceptance of ‘alternative’ relationships is gaining momentum. After wake of 50 Shades of grey, the concept of BDSM was put into the public consciousness. Now, the mainstream is being aware that there are several complex, and potentially more satisfying relationship styles are out there.

Singledom & Gifting
Counter to the previous trend, one of the biggest trends we’re going to see in 2019 is an increase in women remaining happily single later into their lives. This continues a trend that’s been going on for decades: the average age for marriage in back in the day used to be early twenties, which has now switched to early thirties. The pattern has also led to a rise in more sales of sex toys – both for men and women. People are more and more comfortable ordering intimate pleasure products for themselves or gifting to their friends.

Sex Dolls
Sex dolls have been around for decades, usually of the shocked-looking inflatable kind with silly names like ‘Roger More’ and ‘Anita Blowjob’. 2019 might well see them take us all by surprise. Sex dolls are coming out of their dusty shelves, with full silicone construction as well as lifelike features, and fully defined internal skeletons that offer a natural range of motion. And naturally, there are male and female dolls already available out there in the market.

Art Of Karezza
Karezza comes from the Italian word to ‘caress’ and can transform your sexual relationship. It helps on focusing not just on the orgasm but on the process. It is about savouring pleasure in the moment, leading to a kind of affectionate, gentle intercourse — couples can get back to basics and learn to enjoy the entire sexual journey, without worrying about the grand finale.

Getting Stoned Before Sex
Marijuana is becoming one of the accepted (and leganised) form of recreational drug as more and more research is being done. There may not be a solid cause-and-effect link established just yet, one study from earlier found a correlation between using marijuana and increased libido. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD oil which is the non-psychoactive part of marijuana, women have claimed that it helps increase blood flow in their genitals, which can in turn lead to increased arousal.
