Sex trends come and go faster than your last situationship — and let’s be honest, keeping up can feel like a full-time job.
No shade, but unless you’ve got a PhD in bedroom acrobatics, chances are you haven’t heard of 2025’s most talked-about (and totally wild) sex position… yet.
Experts say 2025’s biggest sex and relationship trends are all about connection, clarity, and tech. AI-powered toys and smart apps are making the bedroom smarter, with real-time control and tracking. Gen Z is leaning into sober intimacy — think yoga dates and deep conversation instead of drinks and hook-ups.
Consent is front and center, with clear communication now seen as sexy and essential. There’s also a shift toward holistic intimacy, with mindfulness, movement, and self-care becoming part of foreplay.
People are craving real relationships over casual flings, and body positivity is stronger than ever, natural beauty and authenticity are fully in.
But what about sex positions — how are they evolving?
A little more adventurous this year
Turns out, they’re changing just as much as everything else in the bedroom. And if you think we’ve come a long way from missionary, you’re absolutely right.
Let’s be real — the classics like missionary and doggy style will always have a place in our hearts (and bedrooms). But it looks like America’s getting a little more adventurous this year… and we’re not just talking scented candles and Marvin Gaye.
If you thought your wild days were behind you, think again. According to a new report, 2025 has seen a major uptick in searches for some very creative sex positions — and they’re definitely not from your mother’s copy of Cosmo.
FetishFinder, a popular adult trends site, dug into Google data to find out exactly what folks have been looking up between the sheets — and let’s just say, the results are eyebrow-raising.
“If Google searches are any indication, America’s sex life got a serious glow-up in 2025,” a FetishFinder spokesperson told Daily Mail.
“From sensual slow burns to full-throttle freakiness, it is clear people are exploring every corner of their desires,” they added.
So what are the five most-Googled positions heating up bedrooms across the U.S. during 2025? Buckle up — some of these sound more like wrestling moves than acts of passion.
5. The Full Nelson
This one’s all about control. The partner on the receiving end has their arms pinned above their head — hence the wrestling-style name. Let’s just say, it’s not exactly a “gentle” embrace.
4. The Bridge
Searches for this one jumped more than 274% this year. Picture one partner lifting the other using just their hips, legs, and upper body strength. Think of it as intimate Pilates… with less spandex and more sweat.
3. The Anvil
Not for the faint of heart — or flexibility-challenged. One person lies on their back with legs pulled overhead, while the other kneels in front. Google searches for this one spiked 275%, which either means we’re getting fitter or more curious.
2. The Filthy Sanchez
We’ll spare you the detailed description — the name alone might be enough. It involves bodily fluids and the upper lip, and, yes, it really is the second most searched position in the U.S. this year. We don’t judge, we just report.
1. The Bear Hug
This one feels practically wholesome compared to the rest — and it topped the charts with a staggering 623% increase in searches. It’s a standing position where both partners embrace each other during the act. Who knew spooning’s vertical cousin would be such a hit?
Honorable Mentions
Other trending terms included the “butterfly,” “straddle,” and the “piledriver” — names that sound like they were borrowed from a WWE highlight reel. We’ll let you Google those on your own time.
