‘80% Of Women’ Are Into Hot New Trend ‘Broadening’ Most Men Have No Idea About
More and more women are ‘broadening’ in the bedroom – but men have no idea about the trend.
There’s some bedroom details that most people are happy to share with friends.
Were they a good kisser? Did you enjoy the experience?
But there’s definitely details that we’re less likely to share, the following potentially being one of them.
Numerous bedroom trends have emerged in recent years, including ‘hotwifing,’ ‘shallowing,’ and ‘hamstering.’

But ‘broadening’ is the latest bedroom trend that has taken the internet by storm – women in particular.
‘Broadening’ explained…
And speaking to the Metro, psychosexual therapist Natasha Silverman has revealed all the details.
She said: “Broadening can create a more diffuse, full-body pleasure sensation, leading to or***ms that feel deeper, more widespread, and even more wave-like compared to the sharper, more concentrated climax that direct stimulation can create.”
Silverman also added that broadening is way more common than we think, with 75% of women discovering it before ever engaging in s** with a partner.
She added: “Many of my clients bring up the topic of broadening in the therapy room, but few realise that there’s actually now a name for it, or that this is what they’ve been doing for all of this time.”
How common is it?
Surprisingly, the expert noted that ‘broadening’ is ‘incredibly common’ among women who discovered self-pleasure a little earlier in life – either childhood or adolescence.
But while a recent survey found that 87% of women say they use ‘broadening’ to achieve or**sm, Silverman warned that it’s not always for everyone.
She explained: “Like any type of s**ual touch, broadening is deeply personal.

“Some people find it’s their go-to for pleasure, while others may not enjoy the sensation or feel drawn to it, preferring penetration or direct stimulation of the external glans.”
The expert added: “A person’s s**ual blueprint and first experiences of pleasure often shape whether this feels good to them.
“The key with any form of self-pleasure is tuning into your body and exploring what feels right for you. If it’s broadening – embrace it!”
If you haven’t already gathered, broadening is a form of female self-pleasure.
And Silverman noted that her therapy clients will often ask her if it’s ‘normal’– and as it turns out, it absolutely is.
She noted: “It can be just as – if not more – pleasurable than other types of m*****bation because it stimulates a larger surface area of the vulva.”
With ‘broadening,’ climaxes will feel fuller and slower building, according to the expert.
It is a slightly softer approach, so if that’s not on your radar, feel free to skip this one.
What is ‘broadening’?
If you’re not familiar, this form of self-pleasure involves pressing, moving or rubbing the entire vulva against an external surface.
It’s basically dry humping on a larger surface.
However, there are many ways to do it.
Of the women surveyed, 13% grind face down on flat surfaces like mattresses or floors, while 18% grind on soft surfaces with a firmer centre – be it the arm of a sofa, pillows, or rolled up blankets.

But 16% of women noted that they liked things a little harder, grinding on objects like table edges, and bed posts.
Alternatively, some like to press against the floor of a bathtub while water flows over them.
Silverman explained: “Explore different movements like rocking, circling, or a gentle pulsing pressure rather than only back and forth motion.”
She added: “Vary positions too, like lying on your stomach, sitting upright or standing while leaning against something or someone to create different sensations.
“You can even experiment with fabric and friction, for example using softer materials like a silk pillow case which may feel different from firmer surfaces like a bed or your own hand.”
