After a decade as the world’s best purveyors of pleasure and having recently spent countless hours reviewing data from our recent Global Sex Survey, who better than us to take on the role of sex’s Nostrodamus and predict the top trends in sex for 2013?

Doubling Down on Pleasure
In 2012, sex toys became as common a household appliance as the coffee maker (which is great, considering the health benefits associated with regular orgasms), so it’s safe to say that sex toys are here to stay.


The toys that saw the biggest surges in popularity last year were couples’ vibrators that can be worn during lovemaking, leading to greater pleasures for both partners. We see this increase in popularity continuing into 2013, as it’s clear to us that the future is full of pleasure that’ll leave you seeing double.

Bondage’s Growing Irresistibility
Thanks to the huge success of E L James’s Fifty Shades of Grey, previously closeted fantasies have been transformed into mind-blowing realities for women worldwide. Expect to be hearing words like ‘Dom’ and ‘Sub’ used more frequently in popular culture – and if those terms are unfamiliar to you, get the A to Z of more risqué bedroom play with a helpful guide like 150 Shades of Play: A Beginner’s Guide to Kink by bestselling authors Em & Lo.

So there you have it; we’ve seen the future – for the next 12 months – and now it’s up to you, dear reader, to make these predictions come true in the most enjoyable ways possible!
