The 50 Shades Effect: What New Things People Are Trying in Bed!

Are you a wild animal between the sheets, or do you prefer a hot chocolate and a cosy night? Karma Sutra master or virtuous angel? Neapolitan or vanilla? Does “50 Shades” get your pulse racing, being tied up your new thing, it turns out you’re not the only one! A new study released this week has indicated that we are more turned on by taboos than ever before with kinks becoming common place in our bedrooms.  Almost 600 people participated in a study this week to tell the world what is flicking their switch in the bedroom, and the results may shock you!

Looking for a threesome? 2 in 3 are looking for the same…

Every man has dreamed of the opportunity, a seminal moment in every mans life, a night when their game was so sharp they woke up the next morning getting spooned on both sides. So it may not be a surprise that when young men were asked if they would be interested in a tumble in the sheets with 2 or more people a whopping 65% said yes. Be it the devils threesome or a chance to take on two girls at once most guys would not hesitate to take up a couple of friends on the offer. But what may astonish you is that well over half of all girls are thinking the same way. A huge 56% of women would be game to getting down and dirty with a couple of (or maybe more) buddies. So when you’re trying to choose between the blonde and the brunette at the bar keep in mind that you might not have to. Just look out boys and girls, the more people you drag back from the bar Saturday night the more people you’ve got to buy breakfast for Sunday morning.

Mr. Grey will see you now…

We’ve all read the books, we’re all going to see the film, and maybe, just maybe we’ll be taking notes to bring back a bit of that spice to our own boudoirs. While only 42% of guys like the idea of being trussed up and playfully spanked a huge 61% of girls are down to bring out the whips and chains. With 50 Shades being the Valentines Day flick to get the palms sweaty and pulse racing its not a shocker than a lot of girls are looking for their own Mr. Grey to sweep them off their feet and into a pair of fluffy handcuffs. But remember to put the keys in a safe place or the fire department may end up making an unplanned visit to your palace of pleasure.    

Does skinny dipping count as cheating?

A few other stats may give you pause for thought. More guys would consider having an affair before they would strip down in public. 15% said they get all hot and bothered when thinking about cheating on their significant other compared to just 12% getting their rocks off in public.

Girls fancy getting a little bit breathless when in the throws of pleasure, over 30% of women confessed to wanting a little light strangulation in the bedroom in comparison to just 9% of their male counter parts.

Overall it would appear we are about as sexually liberated as we have ever been. Thanks to 50 Shades and the marvels of the internet were all a little more in touch with which sexual buttons work and which don’t.  For all you sexual trailblazers remember communication is key, no one is going to have fun if your not on the same page as your partner (or partners). So go forth my freaky friends, maybe tonight is your night for a little adventure.
