Sex, dating and love: these are the trends for 2022
Sex, dating, love… Things that always were, always are and always will be. But, man, are we happy with some developments in this area. What about the arrival of dating apps, the tremendous array of available sex toys, and more open views on relationships? Are you curious what kind of developments and trends you can expect in 2022? Then read on.
Trends and developments for the coming year
Well, there are no life-changing developments planned for 2022 (as far as we know), but there are certainly some new things that will be very interesting! We’d like to tell you more about dating in 2022 and about the latest trends and developments in sex, love and toys.
Dating in 2022
Dating app Bumble researched the trends for 2022 by asking users from all over the world about their dating lives. Here are the results.
- New experiences and partners
It seems that the singles among us have developed a growing need to meet more and different people and to experience new things. We have become more adventurous and do not shy away from excitement and the unknown! - My type is…
48% of Bumble users have thought about their type in the past year… Only to come to the conclusion that they do not know what their type is or that it’s different than what they thought. For the coming year, people will therefore search a little wider or differently. Did you swipe someone away when you saw blonde hair and blue eyes? It could very well be that you now suddenly like this person or want to give them the benefit of the doubt. - Being single is okay
After social distancing and lockdown number one, 53% of those surveyed are okay with being single. More and more singles are making this choice consciously. We’ve realised that we can be fine on our own and aren’t necessarily missing out on anything. - PDA
68% of people say they are more open to PDA now than before the pandemic! PDA = public displays of affection, a.k.a. intimacy in public.
Sex trends
When it comes to sex, the trends that started in 2021 are here to stay and are only growing in popularity. Trends that we fully support!
Everyone in BDSM
Where everyone used to immediately get goose bumps at the mention of BDSM, nowadays people mainly get nice chills when it comes to this kinky form of sex. More and more people are venturing into this stream. From subtle handcuffs, ropes and blindfolds to nipple clamps, whips and playing with power relationships. BDSM can be as kinky as you like. Apparently, all the lockdowns and social distancing have stirred up something inside of us. We’re looking for more excitement and something new in the bedroom.

Sexual wellness & mindful sex
Sexual wellness, a fancy word for one of the top developments. Self-love is only complete when you also pursue sexual wellness. Love your body, give yourself pleasure, experiment, learn and do everything you want! Do it your way and nothing is too crazy. In 2022, you’ll see this trend be used more and more with sexual wellness becoming even bigger and more important.
Eco- and orgasm-friendly
A happy you, a happy environment. More and more eco-friendly products are coming onto the market. Think, for example, of biodegradable toys, vegan lubricants and menstrual cups. You can use a menstrual cup for 5 to 10 years, so think about how many sanitary pads and tampons you can save with that! Great for the earth.
Masturbation: no longer a taboo!
More and more people are daring to talk openly and honestly about masturbation. And that’s great, because it’s delicious, normal and healthy! Achieving an orgasm can even relieve pain, did you know that? Womanizer conducted a study to test whether masturbation helped fight menstrual pain and yes, it did! They came up with the great term “Menstrubation”: a mix of menstruation and masturbation.

More for men
The sex toy world has been dominated by women’s toys, but the arsenal of men’s toys is getting bigger and bigger! We already saw that in 2021, but you can bet that in 2022 there will be even more for men. From cock rings to masturbators, but also think about sexy lingerie for men!
