With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's the perfect opportunity to spice things up in the bedroom and explore new heights with some of the latest sex trends.

Thanks to platforms like social media, she says that we now have a window into what's happening behind closed doors, sparking curiosity and inspiring new experiences.

"Sexual trends are things that just seem to be happening more in today's culture, as we're becoming more open and trying other things."

Sexual trends, like face-sitting or tantric sex, are a great way to deepen your connection with your partner, while having some fun and exploring new experiences together.

Face-sitting is a highly intimate sex act where, as the name suggests, one partner 'sits' on the other’s face to receive oral sex.

Welsh describes face-sitting as a "playful, power dynamic shift", that will bring a thrilling sense of excitement.

"It actually can be a really comfortable position for the giver."

Tantric sex, on the other hand, has ancient roots and is a meditative form of intimacy that emphasises mindfulness.

Welsh explains that its goal is to be fully present in the moment, creating a sensual and fulfilling experience while fostering a deep, holistic connection with your partner.

Most tantric techniques focus on physical elements like deep breathing, breath control, touch and massage, mutual eye contact, and synchronised movement.

Welsh describes it as a transformative way to experience sexual connection, unlocking deeper emotional layers and allowing you to truly become one with your partner.

"Very different from the kind of fast, transactional sex that a lot of us are engaging in today."
