There are 13 intriguing new bedroom trends which you might need to know about…
S**ual expression is constantly evolving, and 2025 is bringing a fresh wave of bold, creative, and sometimes surprising trends.
From fantasy aesthetics to new forms of intimacy and communication, here are 13 of the most fascinating trends you should know about this year:
1. Hotwifing
Hotwifing is a consensual kink where one partner, often the wife, has s**ual encounters outside the relationship with the knowledge and encouragement of the other partner.
This dynamic focuses on trust, open communication, and shared excitement, challenging traditional monogamy and exploring power play in a deeply intimate way.
It’s becoming popular as couples look for new ways to spice up their connection.
2. Castlecore
Castlecore blends romantic fantasy with bedroom play.
Drawing inspiration from medieval castles, fairy tales, and Renaissance aesthetics, it encourages dressing up in corsets, flowing gowns, and dramatic fabrics, while lighting candles and setting an enchanting mood.
The trend turns the bedroom into a magical escape, transforming s** into a whimsical, immersive experience.
3. Hamstering
Hamstering is a quirky new kink referring to a specific scenario in which a person with a manhood positions themselves on the roof of a car.
They expose themselves from the waist down through the open sunroof, while their partner inside the vehicle performs oral s**.
The name ‘hamstering’ comes from the resemblance to how a hamster drinks water through the metal spout of a bottle in its cage.
4. JOI (J*** Off Instruction)
JOI has surged in popularity within digital and adult content spaces.
It involves one partner directing the other’s m**turbation through audio, video, or text instructions.
This erotic power exchange builds anticipation and intimacy, even from a distance, blending dominance with explicit communication.
5. Shallowing
Shallowing is a trend focusing on oral stimulation near the tip of the p**is without going deep. This approach increases sensitivity and control, prolonging pleasure and intensifying anticipation.
It’s becoming favored for its unique ability to build tension and enjoyment through subtlety.
6. Choking
Choking during intercourse is a controversial but rising trend inspired largely by p**n.
While some find it enhances pleasure through breath play and control, it carries significant risks.
Experts emphasize the importance of education, consent, and clear communication before exploring this practice to ensure safety.
7. Vorarephilia
Vorarephilia is a rare but intriguing fetish where individuals fantasize about being eaten or swallowing another person erotically.
While purely imaginative and symbolic for most, it explores themes of submission, dominance, and intimacy in extreme ways within kink communities.
8. S** Menus
A practical trend that’s growing steadily: creating a s** menu – a detailed list of likes, dislikes, fantasies, and boundaries.
This tool improves communication and helps partners explore new experiences with clarity and confidence, Numan reports.
9. Mindful M**turbation
M**turbation is increasingly seen as an important part of self-care and mental health.
Mindful m**turbation encourages being present, using guided meditations and apps like Ferly to deepen the connection with one’s body and reduce stress.
10. Subscription boxes
Subscription boxes curated with premium toys, sensual products, and conversation starters help couples experiment and keep intimacy exciting without awkward shopping trips.
11. Microdating
When busy schedules or parenting get in the way of traditional dates, microdating (short, sweet moments of connection like candlelit meals or sunset watching) keeps romance alive in practical ways.
12. Plant-Based s**ual health products
Vegan condoms, CBD massage oils, and natural aphrodisiacs are becoming mainstream, reflecting a growing desire for sustainable and body-friendly s**ual wellness.
13. Senior celebration
Older adults are embracing and celebrating s**uality more openly.
With improved health, better treatments for erectile dysfunction, and shifting attitudes, people over 50 report some of the most adventurous s** lives of their years.
