Leading British sexologist Tracey Cox, the author of numerous books, named the main sex trends of 2020 and shared predictions for 2021. Her words are quoted by the Daily Mail.

According to Cox, 2021 will be the year of sexual experimentation. According to a study by a British sex toy retailer, in 2020, 52 percent of couples surveyed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and self-isolation have tried something new in sex: role-playing, car sex and the embodiment of partner's erotic fantasies. 71 percent of them said they will continue to experiment after the end of the pandemic.

Representatives of one of the sex dating sites noted that in 2020 an unusually large number of users began to identify themselves as bisexual. They assume that the number of people open to new sexual experiences will only grow in the next year.

The sexologist claims that people began to search more often in search engines for information about BDSM. In 2020, sales of strap-ons have grown by 200 percent. Ten percent of the 1,000 British women surveyed said they used them in sex with male partners, another ten percent admitted that they would like to try.

Cox said that in 2021, people will become even more open to long-distance relationships: due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, meeting in person is becoming more difficult. According to one of the dating apps, half of the users are ready to look for a partner "anywhere", before the majority preferred to set strict geographic boundaries. 66 percent of those surveyed said talking with a partner became much more important to them than before. 70 percent of respondents are ready for a virtual date, and 33 percent are open to long-term long-distance relationships.

In 2021, the trend for sex toys will continue: a third of respondents bought new devices in 2020. At the same time, sales of toys for couples have grown unprecedentedly in the past year. Cox said the category is usually much less in demand.

The sexologist noted that the pandemic made people remember about their former partners. One in five respondents admitted that he wrote or called them, a quarter of the respondents said that they themselves contacted them. The overwhelming majority supported the dialogue. In most cases, people just wanted to know if their ex was doing well.

Cox emphasized that in 2020, many began to practice mindfulness during sex: that is, enjoying the moment, and not worrying about their appearance, skills or problems reaching orgasm.

Earlier, sexologist Emily Morse told why women fake orgasm. According to her, they often do this to please the male ego and avoid embarrassing situations.

Your dog doesn't know how to keep a secret. If he likes something, he shows it to you. If he hates something, rest assured you'll know. Are there things you do that you are not aware of that your dog hates? It's hard to say, because dogs have their own personality, including their own weaknesses. Bemorepanda is here to inform you.

 

Your dog may react differently to stimuli than other dogs. But here are the things that can cause negative reactions to your dog!

 

Habits your dog hates:

 

1. Removing him from smelly curiosities

People do not appreciate the smell as much as dogs, who live in an olfactory world. When you walk your dog, you both smell and see. But you see more, and your dog smells more. So people who walk their dogs, but constantly pull them with a leash when they try to smell the curbs, trees, grass, do a bad thing by dogs.

 If you do not see or smell something important, remember that the same does not apply to your companion.

 

2. Isolating him in a room during fireworks

It is well known that pets are stressed when they hear fireworks. You can't explain to them that they are to celebrate something. Most people keep their dogs in a quiet place in the house to calm them down. However, you should not limit your dog to one room.

 

He will constantly try to run away from the noise, and if he is in a narrow place, he will get hurt as he tries to run away. Create a safe space for him to hide, but don't make him feel stuck.

 

3. Foreigners in new places

 

Some studies have found that your pet is happy when he meets a new environment, but only when he is with you or a person he lives with permanently. A 2014 study found that stress in dogs, measured by heart rate, was induced when the animals were placed in a new place and comforted by a person who did not live permanently with them.

 

4. Wrongly scheduled walks

Walking the dog offers psychological, social and physiological benefits, but there are certain times of the day during several months of the year that can stress the dog. Even though a morning walk in the summer may seem perfect, it can be a little overwhelming and potentially dangerous for your dog. Its paws can burn from extremely hot surfaces.

 

5. We prefer words, not body language

We are a vocal species; we even like to talk to our pets, who can't understand anything we tell them. Dogs can deduce what some keywords mean - like "outside", "toy", "walk", but they can't understand human language. To realize what we want to convey to them, they rely on body language.

 

Dogs follow us all the time, read the language of the human body, like a sixth sense, and can figure out what we think or feel, often right in front of us. However, we can send confusing messages to our animals if we pay attention to what we say, not what we do. For example, when we give a dog the command to "sit" while we lean towards him with our hand outstretched, a gesture that practically invites the quadruped to come towards us. If the animal does, he is reprimanded for not obeying the verbal order.

 

6. We walk towards a dog looking him in the eye

Eye contact has a very strong effect, and for many species, it is a way to establish dominance. When you look insistently in the eyes of a dog, without blinking, even if you do it with love and smiling, the animal could interpret that you are trying to dominate it or even to be aggressive.

While some may have a submissive reaction, turning their gaze or sitting on their backs, others will bark nervously. For all, however, the situation will not be a comfortable one. Therefore, if you want to greet a dog that does not know you, bend down slightly - without turning your shoulders towards the animal, do not look him in the eye and speak to him in a gentle voice. All of these are signs of friendship and will help the quadruped understand that you are not a danger.

 

7. We pet the dog on the head

Most of us think that our little animals like to be petted on the head; it is not so at all. If you watch your dog's reaction, you wil

We notice that he leans his head slightly aside; he will, however, let you caress him, but not because he pleases him, but because you are his master. If you want to make him happy, caress his back, towards his tail.

 

8. We hug the dog

We like to hug our dog without knowing that he hates hugs. While we humans consider this gesture a manifestation of love, pets perceive it quite differently. Dogs do not have arms and do not hug each other; if one specimen puts its paw on the back of another, the gesture is considered one of domination. When embraced, many will feel threatened, frightened, and disturbed; in fact, there were many cases when children who resorted to such a gesture were bitten.

 

9. Strong perfume

Dogs have an extremely developed sense of smell and therefore, if you have used too much cologne, the quadruped will not sit next to you.

 

10. To be awakened from sleep

Nobody likes to be woken up, much less puppies. They will feel frustrated and disoriented. If you still need to wake him up, do it patiently, talking to him calmly and affectionately.
