Women are obsessed with bedroom trend ‘Broadening’ – and men have no idea about it

We might be becoming evermore connected as a species thanks to the rise of technology and the great divides it has bridged, but there remain some things that are likely to remain more private than not for as long as we’re… well, human.

Details of certain bedroom activities fall largely under that remit, and while it might be argued that society has become a deal more liberal than it was, say, a century ago, there’s a reason topics like sex (and the multitude of branches stemming from that tree of discussion) aren’t usually discussed on work lunch breaks or in a busy grocery aisle.

That’s not to say they’re not talked among friends or colleagues in looser environments, only that a residual taboo hangs over the subject like a steadily-dissipating cloud. Personal matters are personal matters, after all, not public information to be dished out.

The internet, however, provides a safe space for such things to be debated and dissected without the fear of being judged or laughed at. It’s where bedroom trends such as “hotwifing” and “hamstering” rose to relative recent prominence, and the ideal place for us to talk about a new trend said to be garnering attention: “broadening”.
