The Year in Sex: The 10 Most-Read Articles on Sex and Psychology in 2019

As 2019 winds down, let’s look back at this year’s ten most read articles on Sex and Psychology. The following posts represent a very diverse range of content and, combined, they have been read hundreds of thousands of times!

There were quite a few similarities to last year’s list—in fact, seven of the top ten articles overlapped. However, the top two articles this year were brand new entries to the list. Also, as you’ll see, articles related to orgasms, oral and anal sex, penis size, and what’s “normal” were especially popular this year, as were articles that addressed questions submitted by readers of the blog (in fact, six of the top ten articles were Q&As!).

Here’s the countdown of Sex and Psychology’s ten most-read articles in 2019:
