Revealed: The 10 most Googled sex questions in 2023 (including THAT position Love Island star Tom Clare was excited about)
- Speed Bump went viral online after reality stars admitted it was their favorite
- The top 10 also lists how many calories sex burns and whether fish also have sex
When it comes to sex, everyone has questions.
And the most Googled of 2023 was: ‘What is the position of the speed bump?’
Social media users were stunned when Love Islander Tom Clare revealed this was his favorite position earlier this year, sparking a wave of people looking for how to do it at home.
The speed bump is a variation on ‘doggy style’.
A woman lies face down with a pillow under her hips to elevate her pelvis, hence the eyebrow-raising name.

Google gave Cosmopolitan a list of the 10 most searched questions in 2023.
After questions about the position of the speed bump came the age-old classic: ‘Can you have sex during pregnancy?’
Sex will not hurt your baby and it is safe to have sex during pregnancy unless your doctor or midwife has told you not to, according to the NHS.
‘A penis or penetrating sex toy can’t get past your vagina and the baby can’t tell what’s going on,’ says the NHS.
Searches for ‘sex positivity’ came third, followed by reasons for bleeding after sex, which could be a sign of an infection or vaginal dryness.
Others wanted to know how many dates they should go on before having sex and how many calories they burned during intercourse.
Strangely enough, one of the most frequently asked questions was, “How do fish have sex?”
The answer depends on the species. Typically, females release eggs into the water that are fertilized by sperm pumped out by male fish.
