Could BDSM be the antidote to our pandemic-fueled loss of control?
“Lehmiller has been conducting a study on what people are up to in the bedroom since the beginning of the pandemic. He and his team have found that about 20% of people in quarantine have tried new things in bed and — wait for it — those people tend to be happier than people who don’t. Trying new sex things, Lehmiller points out, can mean anything from using a new toy to watching alien porn to sending nudes to full-on flogging. The point is that the combination of novelty and sexiness can make you feel happier.”
