January 15, 2025 by Merissa Prine
Goodbye, 2024! We hope that you all enjoyed the holiday season and have some things to look forward to in the year ahead.
2024 was a year of significant change. From the ongoing evolution of artificial intelligence to global shifts in our social and political landscapes, we’ve seen how technology and culture continue to shape our lives—including the ways we navigate sex and sexuality.
Let’s take a look back at the ten most-read articles on Sex and Psychology in 2024. These posts cover a wide variety of topics and, collectively, have been read hundreds of thousands of times!
We noticed that this year, many of our readers were referring back to some of the topics we had covered in earlier years, with many of our highest read blogs being from years prior to 2024. As you will see, many of the trending topics were related to penis size, why people are into certain things, and whether certain fetishes are “normal” or common.
Here’s the countdown of Sex and Psychology’s ten most-read articles in 2024:
10. Who’s More Well-Endowed: Gay Men or Straight Men?
9. How Common are Pregnancy Fetishes?
8. The Price of Sex in Amsterdam
