5 sex trends of 2022

1. Outercourse. We have already discussed the joys of outercourse on the Panty.com blog. Outercourse is a sexual practice that does not involve penetration, meaning it can be kissing, caressing, or other kinds of physical exploration. It’s a kind of slow and sensual sex that allows your to explore your senses and get to know your lover’s body. Try it to believe it!
2. Pegging. Pegging is all about men letting throwing themselves into pleasures previously considered taboo. This practice usually refers to anal penetration of a man by a woman using a strap-on, dildo, hand-held vibrator or prostate massager. Pegging can enhance sexy power dynamics and give men not previously discovered sensations (that they won’t forget in a hurry).
3. Anal Toys. Sex-toys have been growing in popularity for years. Anal toys, however, have been slightly more on the down low. Happily, 2022 was a year when people discovered the pleasurable potential of anal toys in self-exploration and partnered sex.
4. Clitoral stimulation. The clitoris, often overlooked, has this year acquired the importance it deserves, with more of us learning about the stimulation it needs to give pleasure to one’s partner. Clitoral sex toys have helped this phenomenon along, but also an increasing awareness of how essential the clitoris is to female pleasure, and the importance of foreplay and slower sex.
5. Heteroflexibility, and specifically, female fluidity. Women are growing ever more confident in their open-minded approach to sexuality. 2022 was a year in which women indulged in fantasies they had previously kept at bay, and discovered sexual nuances, relationships, and forms of desire.
