To investigate more into the human obsession with sex, consumer-first platform Hims & Hers Health, Inc, focused on providing modern, personalised health and wellness experiences to consumer, released its first annual Let’s Talk About Sex: The 2022 Report. The study, which surveyed 5,234 people found that …

• Gen-Z women are the most sexually exploratory demographic, with 42% not identifying as heterosexual, and 75% being interested in one or more emerging sexual trends – more than two times as interested as older women.
• 63% of women – about half (48%) of women 45 and older – are interested in a new or emerging sex trend; and one in three women (34%) say that if there were no societal norms, their sex life would be very different.
