Ride More Than The Bandwagon — Sex Trends For 2023 You Need To Try

At Sexyland, we’re always keeping an eye on what’s popular amongst our customers, as well as any patterns in the new stock that’s hitting our shelves. The industry of adult toys is constantly evolving to keep up with your evolving desires, and it’s worth staying up to date with what new sexual wellness trends are emerging in this fascinating field. From advancements in sex toy technology (A.K.A. ‘teledildonics’) to catering to customers with different needs (think accessibility, non-binary body types, and increased user-friendliness), there’s something real sexy for absolutely everyone at Sexyland!

Ergonomic & hands-free sex toys

Have you ever tried out a new sex toy and noticed an ache in your hand after the fun was done? Things like finicky buttons, bulky shapes, or unergonomic handles can prevent or reduce your enjoyment, simply because it’s uncomfortable to use.

Enter the new wave of toys that are designed with ergonomics and comfortable hand mobility in mind, which eliminate the need to squeeze anything too tightly and include toys you can use hands-free. New innovations among many up-and-coming toys are focused on improving comfort, user-friendliness, and moving towards inclusivity to cater to users who require accessible sex toys. This opens new pleasure possibilities to people who are living with Parkinson’s, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other conditions that affect grip strength. People who are differently-abled are entitled to bodily pleasure just like anyone else. Sexyland is excited to see adult toy manufacturers are now coming out with more products designed with mobility challenges in mind as standard!

These design updates apply to sex toys across our ranges for all bodies — our favourite new examples are Bathmate’s® Hand Vibe Male Masturbator and the LELO Dot™ Multiple Orgasm Pinpoint Clitoral Vibrator! The LELO Dot has a hollow handle you can slip your fingers into for a secure hold without needing a tight grip. Meanwhile, the Bathmate Hand Vibe sports a contoured finger grip that doesn’t require you to flex your fingers at all.

There are also plenty of options for toys and accessories that can give you hands-free sexual pleasure. If you love the power of a wand but not the bulk, the Wand Assist Adjustable Gooseneck Wand Vibrator Holder is just the bedroom addition you need! Want to use a strap-on harness but have reduced hip mobility? Try one that can go on your legs instead like this neoprene thigh strap-on harness from Sportsheets® or this leather strap-on harness from Zorba.

For people with penises, the Lovense Gush and Pulse Duo Couples Masturbator are fantastic vibrating options since their adjustable wings can accommodate any size. From there, you can lie down and let the masturbator work its magic while it’s wrapped around the shaft. You can use either a smartphone app or wireless remote to adjust your settings without needing to fumble with buttons or move the toy out of position! For people with vaginas, the Fun Factory Stronic G-Spot Pulsator II offers a satisfying rhythmic rocking motion that feels like thrusting and pulsating waves. The firm, bulbous head effortlessly stimulates the G-spot in 3 pulsating patterns and 7 speeds that thrust back and forth on their own. All you have to do is lie back and relax…

Portable & compact sex machines

Traditionally, sex machines have been bulky contraptions that never leave the room in which they’re first assembled. However, there’s been a noticeable increase in more compact options so you don’t necessarily need a whole room or spare closet space to store your sex machine!

These days, thrusting dildos can give you the power of a sex machine and can work hands-free like a standard full-size sex machine. Some thrusting dildos like the Lovense Gravity come with their own suction cups for hands-free play against flat surfaces. Others like the MiaMaxx Plus have their suction cup attachment sold separately so you can choose to hold the dildo in more creative positions.

People with penises can also enjoy themselves hands-free by pairing self-stroking masturbators like the Maxtasy Stroke Master with the Maxtasy Hands-Free Strap-On Harness. The adjustable waist and leg straps secure around your body with easy snap buttons and have double D-rings to tighten the straps into place for your perfect fit during play!

The rise of silicone male sex toys

Higher quality materials are becoming a key feature across many adult toy brands, and silicone has long been the top choice of consumers and manufacturers alike. One of silicone’s biggest advantages is that it has great texture variety so you can have a firm or super-soft finish, depending on how realistic you want the toy to feel. It’s also durable, hypoallergenic, and vegan-friendly so everyone can play with these toys for ages to come!

Silicone has been around for a long time in the world of female sex toys and those for couples, but not so much for male sex toys…until now. Traditionally, masturbators (and other toys designed for the user to insert their penis inside them) have been made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or TPR (thermoplastic rubber). These materials offer a super-soft texture for a realistic fleshy feeling but have other drawbacks like being difficult to clean and maintain.

Lately, Sexyland has noticed more and more masturbators being made from silicone, which is perfect for anyone looking to get more out of their toy. The more durable, non-porous material makes them longer-lasting and easier to clean between uses! Silicone is a waterproof material, and if the toy has a self-sealing charging port or magnetic charging, that means the whole toy is waterproof too. This is perfect for taking the fun from the bedroom to the bathroom, so consider options like the VUSH Sol 10-Mode Vibrating Ribbed Stroker, or the Arcwave™ Ghost Reversible Textured Masturbator Sleeve if you prefer something non-motorised.
