New Year, New You: Enhancing Intimacy and Pleasure in 2025

It’s the end of a long year, so it's the perfect time to think about fresh starts and new possibilities, especially regarding intimacy and pleasure. Whether you're looking to deepen your connection with a partner, explore solo pleasure, or simply build a better relationship with your own body, 2025 can be your year of greater intimacy, fun, and self-discovery!

The great thing about setting sexual wellness resolutions is that they don’t have to be “one-size-fits-all.” These resolutions are packed with opportunities to try new things, learn more about yourself, and even spice up your relationship (or connection with yourself). It’s time to set some exciting, achievable goals for the year and explore ways to make your sexual journey even better!

1. Prioritize Self-Discovery and Body Awareness

The first step to enhancing intimacy is getting to know yourself better. It’s easy to forget how much self-knowledge contributes to a fulfilling sex life. When you understand your body and what feels good, you can communicate those needs better to a partner in the bedroom. Discovering new sources of pleasure helps boost your confidence and leads to more sexual satisfaction.

In 2025, resolve to spend more time connecting with your body. This may mean dedicating a few minutes each day to self-pleasure or simply relaxing, enjoying the moment, and focusing on the things around you. If you ever feel wrapped up in your head or panicked, try focusing on an item next to you. Name the color of the item in your head. Do this to three more items in the room around you as you ground yourself!

2. Explore New Products for Solo and Partnered Play

If you're ready to level up your pleasure, the new year is a great time to explore new sex toys. Whether you're new to pleasure tools or you are a seasoned pro looking to spice things up, there’s a whole world of sex toys designed to help you explore and experiment with your desires! Here are some of our suggestions:

Starter Kits are an easy way to explore new sensations you may have been curious about. They’re designed to introduce you to various items, from vibrators to massage oils to lubricants, all bundled together. For instance, if you were curious about trying anal play, the b-Vibe Anal Training Kit provides education AND everything needed to start your anal play journey.

If you already have the basics or don’t need a pack of toys, versatile toys are an excellent next step. Many sex toys are designed to serve multiple purposes, whether you're looking for something to use during solo sessions or with a partner.

Vibrating toys come in various shapes and lengths and can be used internally or externally. They offer pleasure in countless forms. Many vibrating toys, such as rabbits, have internal and external attachments to provide dual stimulation!

Some products are specifically crafted for exploration, encouraging you to experiment with new sensations or fantasy play. For instance, luxurious massage candles that double as body oils to toys designed to help you explore different types of stimulation and sensory play.

3. Make Communication a Priority in Your Relationship

Communication is key to intimacy in a relationship. Too often, we assume our partners know what we like or need without saying anything. This year, make it a goal to talk openly about what pleases you and what you're curious to try in the bedroom or during your solo play.

This doesn’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable—it can be fun! Turn it into a playful conversation. Maybe share a list of things you’d like to explore together, such as new positions, fantasies, or even incorporating new products into your play.

Remember, intimacy isn’t just about the physical act; it’s about feeling emotionally and mentally connected with your partner. When you are on the same page with your partner, it enhances pleasure in the bedroom!

4. Try New Experiences Inside and Outside the Bedroom

While exploring new products is a fun and exciting way to enhance pleasure, 2025 can be about new experiences outside the bedroom. Intimacy isn’t confined to just one place. It can be about connecting with your partner in new ways, whether trying new activities, going on adventures, or simply spending quality time together.

Take a weekend getaway, cook a special meal together, or even take a class on something you’ve both been curious about. Doing new things as a couple can help you grow closer, build trust, and keep things fresh in your relationship.

If you’re exploring solo, try new forms of pleasure that don’t necessarily involve sex. Consider mindfulness techniques, yoga, or breathwork as ways to relax and reconnect with yourself. It’s all about finding activities that make you feel good, inside and out.

5. Remember to Have Fun and Be Playful

Pleasure doesn’t always have to be serious. One of the best things about prioritizing intimacy in 2025 is that it offers an opportunity to have more fun. Explore your desires without judgment, laugh together, and enjoy the discovery process. Whether trying a new toy, experimenting with a different technique, or simply being present at the moment, the key is to enjoy yourself.

Intimacy and pleasure are about being in tune with what feels good physically and emotionally. So don’t stress about getting it “perfect” or having some grand, life-changing experience.

As we kick off 2025, we resolve to prioritize YOUR pleasure. So treat yourself to that new product, have honest conversations, and discover what makes you feel good. Here’s to a year full of joy, exploration, and, of course, pleasure!
