These practices could mark your sex life for years to come

The rediscovery of female pleasure, digital sex or the reconciliation between love and sex are among the sentimental keys at the beginning of the decade
The female orgasm remains a mystery to many people. Research on the pleasure of women is scarce and until not too long ago the existence of the multiple orgasms. In addition, the fact that for decades it was taboo to talk about female pleasure led to several generations not feeling the need to experiment with their body to get to know it better and thus enjoy it more. According to a recent study by the erotic toy firm LELO, only 40% of women admit to masturbating often, compared to 95% of men. However, the experts at this firm are convinced that as women become more informed and dare to experiment with their bodies, these percentages will become equal. Thus, one of the trends expected for the next few years is the rediscovery of female pleasure.
Precisely this trend will be associated with a greater interest in more sophisticated erotic toys such as clitoral suckers, especially if we take into account two data that stand out in the studies of this firm: that only 18% of women can reach orgasm through penetration and that the clitoris is the only organ whose purpose is to provide pleasure
digital sex
Technology is beginning to play an important role in the way some people enjoy sex. The sex robots and the virtual reality are no longer exclusive to science fiction movies and the term «digisexual», which identifies those people who integrate technology as part of their sexual life and who may not need intimacy with other human beings to enjoy themselves.
Although it is a growing trend, experts insist on highlighting the importance of maintaining physical relationships between people, so that technology is one more tool within a healthy and fun sexual relationship.
Sex, together with well-being
In an age in which well-being issues are becoming increasingly important, sex has ceased to be something frivolous to figure as one of the fundamental aspects of self-care. This has caused the barriers and stigmas related to the body and to the sexual practices, including the less orthodox.
Concepts like “sex conscious”, “Skin to skin”, «slow sex» and the guided solo games give rise to the belief that sex will become a non-judgmental party in which its participants only seek to feel good about themselves and their partners.
The return of the love-sex binomial
Love and sex shake hands again. In the age of #metoo sex is moving towards more honesty and openness in sex. Love, consent, sex and feelings will no longer walk alone because, according to studies on sexual behavior, a person is more attentive, transparent and willing to experiment more if he feels something special while having sex.
This is not to say that casual encounters will be neglected or that solo sex may not be equally satisfying, but it does mean that feelings are expected to become important.
