No judgment here, but unless you're a freak in the sheets, I doubt you've heard of the most viral sex position of 2025 so far.
If you're looking for something a bit different to the bog-standard doggy style and missionary (there's nothing wrong with the classics), then you've potentially come to the right place.
After all, if Pornhub's yearly review has taught us anything, some people are into some unusual things.
It seems the internet is searching up some weird-sounding sex positions on Google, and we're not here to decide why, but rather what they are looking up exactly.
Advert
Well, thanks to the guys from FetishFinder, we now know the sex positions people are most interested in this year.
"If Google searches are any indication, America's sex life got a serious glow-up in 2025," a spokesperson for FetishFinder said (via MailOnline).
"From sensual slow burns to full-throttle freakiness, it is clear people are exploring every corner of their desires," they added.
What are the top five most-Googled sex positions?
5) 'Full Nelson'
The so-called 'full Nelson' is considered a 'dominating' position as the receiving partner has their arms pinned above their head.
I think you can work out the rest.
4) The 'bridge' position
This position has increased in search by over 274 per cent, according to FetishFinder, and it involves one partner lifting the other with their hips by using support from their legs and upper body.
3) The 'anvil'
So, you'll need to be pretty athletic to do the 'anvil', where one person lies on their back with their legs overhead while the other partner kneels. Hopefully, you can fill in the blanks.
This had a 275 per cent search increase this year.
2) The 'filthy' Sanchez
The crude name is fitting of a pretty crude position.
It's when one partner puts their bodily fluids on their loved one's upper lip. It's a bit weird that one, but it is the second most-searched thing, so make of that what you will.
1) The 'bear hug'
If you've made it this far, congratulations.
With a massive 623 per cent spike in searches within the past year, the 'bear hug' is the most viral position of 2025.
It sounds pretty straightforward compared to the rest and is when both partners have intercourse whilst hugging and standing upright.
Other notable mentions
The other remaining searches include positions reminiscent of WWE finisher moves.
You've got the 'butterfly', the 'straddle, and the 'piledriver'.
I think you can look up those details in your spare time if you are feeling brave enough.
