It's more common than ever to hear about random people's preferences in the bedroom and it seems as if the writers of Euphoria have been delving through the depths of Reddit to discover some of the strangest kinks out there.
Now, I don't want to kink shame anyone, although Sydney Sweeney's portrayal as a baby in episode one of the hit HBO show's new series was a little weird, and she's touched on another bedroom trend in the latest release.
In case you haven't heard, the 28-year-old actress is portraying an OnlyFans star as Cassie in the new series, despite being married to rich businessman Nate, who is played by Jacob Elordi.
We've already seen her dress as a dog and a baby, showing off pretty much everything, but it was a scene featuring some food which no doubt caught a lot of people's attention, as she dripped ice cream down her naked body, which no doubt appealed to a lot of people, even if it is a waste of a perfectly good sweet treat.

If you're not familiar with this particular sex trend, it's known as 'sploshing', and basically sees people incorporate often wet and messy foods into their bedroom activities, even if it makes the clean up even more important before you head off to the land of nod.
Ayesha Hussain, co-creator of Pass The Porn and founder of The Violet, told Men's Health more about the bizarre bedroom activity: "There are aspects of the mouth being a vessel that are inherently sexual.
"It opens, it’s moist, and when you get aroused, your mouth opens more and gets more lubricated."
If it sounds like you're kind of thing, you can really start where you want and when you want.
“It can be anything: spaghetti, cucumbers, chocolate, etc,” Ayesha says. “Watch every movement, taste every smell, imagine their saliva accumulating, and go from there.”
The bedroom should obviously be a safe place to explore different things with your partner, or partners if you're in to that sort of thing, and sploshing is no different.
“Some people may enjoy being covered in these substances, while others may enjoy covering others or watching overs get covered by them,” says Dr. Justin Lehmiller, a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute.
“Others may just enjoy the physical or tactile sensation of these substances,” he noted.
Kink educator Darla Delour added to Glamour: "It’s not about using vegetables as dildos, nor is it adding a splash of whipped cream to your body to spice things up in the bedroom."
So, the next time you're at the supermarket and see someone buy nothing but chocolate and ice cream and you start making a judgement about what their night might look like, you may need to think again.
