While it’s sort of understood in the sex world that the 50 Shades of Grey franchise wasn’t exactly the best depiction of kink, the books and movies were successful at one thing (well, besides making money): sparking an interest in BDSM. Sex toy sales surged following movie premieres, customers were purchasing handcuffs and flogs, and more people than ever were going to the hospital with foreign objects shoved inside them. It wasn’t hard to figure out what people were exploring between the sheets.
A decade later, things are bound to change. And sure, PornHub’s Year in Review can give you a good idea on what people are jerking off to when they’re alone, but it doesn’t tell the full story on what couples are exploring together in bed. For that, your best bet is a sex therapist.
While sex therapists help couples explore issues within their sex life, they also give them the resources to navigate new experiences (because you should never surprise someone with handcuffs). Trying something new with a partner can feel pretty daunting, so some couples seek out the help of a professional to guide them through conversations, boundaries, and general how-tos.
I asked some trusted sex and couples therapists what kinks couples are most curious about right now—here’s what they said.
