As we bid a fond farewell to 2012, I’ve been looking ahead, consulting with my blog's Head Buyer Bonny Hall, Analyst Matthew Curry and Sex and Relationship Expert Tracey Cox to try and predict what the coming year might have in store for our sex lives.I'ts not just Fifty Shades that’s changed our bedroom habits and sex toy purchases over the past year.
Distinct trends have formed thanks to our consumer-savvy ways and new technological developments, and that’s raised the bar for 2013 and what we expect from our bedroom accessories.From materials to mechanisms, shapes to stimulation settings, here are my top sex toy predictions for 2013...1.
