Top 5 Adult Industry Trends In 2021
Ah, what a year 2021 has been. With all the ups and downs, and the immense amount of time we had to spend indoors, we were forced to get creative to keep that fire *wink* burning inside us. Numerous trends have circulated the internet, from funny videos to memes, but no one talks much about the trends that took the adult industry by storm. So why don’t we take a look at them together one last time.
Sex Toys
Although we work hard, the adult toy industry works harder, with the rise of so many innovations, it's impossible to not marginalize some innovations, and so, we have to start off with an honorable mention. Trends came and went with the seasons, and they made sure that we never missed an orgasm.
In 2020 while everyone was isolating, the industry witnessed a massive spike in the sales of long-distance vibrators, as they quickly became the go-to toys for everyone. As the world transitioned to 2021, the vaccine roll-out came along, which meant that people started to finally leave their homes, and this year's trends became more in line with what’s happening in real life.
Toys are the perfect tool for those who are single but can’t keep their pants on, for couples who like to experiment and webcam models who like to give their clients a little something extra. Basically, all of us. So we thank all the sex toy producers for their ability to keep the fire going, and it looks like 2022 is going to bring us some game-changing toys.
Erotic Audio Stories
Some of us like to watch, and others like to listen. For those of us who are not the “visual” type though, audio sex stories are the new thing. Audio erotica is a trend that slowly started picking up in 2019, and has become the new discreet way to get “steamy” in public!
All you have to do is download some audio clips on your phone or even visit some sites, pop some headphones on, lean back and turn up the ‘pleasure’ volume. Just as a heads-up though, always check your headphones are plugged in before you press that play button.
Virtual Reality (VR) Sex
Listen here, have you ever had that voice in the back of your head that is telling you that you cannot possibly share your kink with someone? Have you ever thought that you will not find that special person to spend those intimate moments of primal lust with? Well all you need is a VR headset, there is a whole platform available to help you find the ideal partner and the correct toys to make the experience you are dreaming of a reality.
Interestingly enough, VR sex has been actually been around since 2014. Today it's truly the next frontier in terms of online sex, as it creates an immersive environment that lets you feel like you're truly present in that moment. It was initiated by VR Bangers, who nowadays, even have their own app! The future of the industry is immersive, particularly because we’re witnessing an integration of reality with 3D virtual reality on a huge scale.
Pelvic Floor Orgasm Workout
We all know that yoga improves the body’s flexibility, which is great if you’re up for mastering every page of the Kama Sutra. However, did you know that every time a woman has an orgasm, her pelvic floor muscles contract? Luckily for the ladies, you can “workout” your way to a more intense orgasm. Yep, they’re called pelvic floor exercises, or “orgams” exercises for the guys. Best part is that it’s proven by science.
There’s plenty of exercises you can add to your schedule that can help you reach a point you’ve never reached before but, the most popular by a large margin is the Kegels.
I feel like the majority of us get sweaty even hearing the word “exercise” these days but, most of these don’t take much effort and the result is definitely worth it! For a bit of extra “stimulation” on your workout, you can pair it up with some kegel balls… Trust us, it will be worth your while.
Male Pleasure
2021 hasn’t been all about the female orgasm. In fact, men have become more and more willing to put their sexualities to the test and explore some “forbidden” erogenous zones.
While prostate stimulation is a more known activity in the LGBTQ+ community, many straight men have begun dipping their toes in these stimulating waters.
At this point, I don’t think anyone would be surprised that some sex toys make an appearance here too. From butt plugs to anal vibrators, there’s quite a large chunk of the market today targeting men for these items. Not to mention that there are quite a few today marketed and made specifically for men.
So, which of these experiences are you adding to your New Year’s resolutions? If virtual reality is a bit intimidating, or you don’t feel like breaking a sweat, you can always rely on the classics to get you off in the bedroom. Here’s to making 2022 the year of trying new things!
