WHETHER you’re on the dating scene or in a solid marriage, everyone has secret questions about sex - and they’ve all just been revealed.
That’s right, the cat’s out of the bag as Google has shared the top bedroom-related searches by Brits in 2023, and they’re not for the faint-hearted.
Our covert research has led us down some very strange paths.
Not willing to bear it all to the doctor, we’ve gone incognito, dug up the saucy details about toxic Gen-Z dating terms (has anyone heard of tinselling?) and asked Nurse Google whether our intimate injuries, body parts and bizarre behaviour are normal.
Curious? So were we.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
Thankfully, Google shared all the sexy data with Cosmopolitan UK - so here’s a sneak peek at our very saucy search history…
What is the speed bump sex position?
The speed bump went viral earlier this year on TikTok - and was also revealed to be a famous Love Islander’s favourite position, causing a surge in people looking up how to try it at home.
Apparently the speed bump is a variation of 'doggy style'. A woman lays face down with a pillow under her hips to raise her pelvis, hence the eyebrow-raising name.

It’s not just sex that was on our minds this year. Relationship Google searches have seen a big hike, with non-binary questions hitting the top spot.
What does non-binary mean in a relationship?
This question can be interpreted in two ways, Bima Loxley, a non-binary sex & relationship therapist told Cosmo. Firstly, it could be asking what a relationship that doesn’t abide by the typical gender binary might look like.
The other answer involves asking what it looks like for non-binary people to be in relationships.
“[A] non-binary relationship might mean queering sexuality, or queering the relationship,” said Bima.
Language surrounding gender identity has massively evolved in recent years, and we’re all learning and acknowledging what those words mean.
For example, earlier this year Dictionary.com added ‘abrosexual’ for the first time - that means when someone’s sexual identity fluctuates and changes.
