What America was really exploring in bed this year
Arya’s 2025 “Bedroom Wrapped” highlights how people across the U.S. explored intimacy and sexual wellbeing this year. With over 622,000 hours spent on guided practices, the data shows a growing desire for intentional, skill-based connection. Red states leaned into sensation-focused intimacy, including oral play and physical exploration, while blue states favored mindful touch, sensory play, and emotionally grounded practices. Nationwide, the top trends were oral sex, playfulness, sensory exploration, massage, and erotic communication. These findings reflect a broader shift toward healthier relationships, clearer communication, and deeper body awareness as Americans become more open and curious about their erotic lives.
