Sobergasms & Sensory Play: Why Sober Sex Is Trending

Why ‘Sobergasms’ Are Taking Over — And How to Explore Multi-Sensory Pleasure Sober

In 2025, a new wave of intimacy is trending — and it doesn’t involve alcohol. ‘Sobergasms’ — orgasms experienced while sober — are becoming more popular as people embrace mindful sex, consent, and real connection. Gone are the days of blurred boundaries and booze-fuelled hookups. Instead, more people are seeking clarity, trust, and deep physical and emotional awareness.

What Is a Sobergasm?

A sobergasm isn’t about being anti-alcohol — it’s about choosing presence. When you remove numbing substances, you become more in tune with your partner, your body, and your sensations. Gen Z and Millennials are leading the way, choosing intentional intimacy over chaos. With sobriety on the rise, sober sex is no longer taboo — it’s empowering.

The Rise of Multi-Sensory Pleasure

Alongside sobergasms, we’re seeing a rise in multi-sensory play. This means using all five senses — touch, taste, scent, sound, and sight — to deepen connection. Think warming lubes, scented oils, textured toys, silk blindfolds, and curated playlists. Multi-sensory intimacy turns sex into a full-body, immersive experience.

Toys That Elevate the Senses

  • Warming Lubricants: Heighten touch with every glide.
  • Ribbed Toys: Add texture and surprise.
  • Blindfolds: Amplify sensation by removing sight.
  • Scented Oils: Stimulate smell and relax the mind.
  • Games: Inject fun, dares, and laughter into the bedroom.

Explore our Stimulating, Ribbed, Warming and Accessories collections to try these at home.

Tips for a Sober, Sensory Experience

  • Set the mood: dim lights, scent, soft music.
  • Talk openly about desires and boundaries.
  • Slow it down — enjoy the build-up.
  • Use toys that engage more than one sense.
  • Be present — every moment counts.
