We’re just weeks away from saying goodbye to 2025 forever. What will your fondest memories of the year be? Maybe you went on a once-in-a-lifetime trip; had a particularly monumental year at work; got a dog you don’t know how you ever lived without. Or maybe, just maybe, you had some hot AF, life-changing sex.

Did you? Well, we hope you did! And, because we’re feeling gushy in the run-up to the New Year — and because we’re nosy — we thought we’d ask you, dear readers, all about that sex. Okay, not just because we’re nosy. At a time when we’re facing allegations of being a sexless, loser generation, it’s more important than ever to boast about the good sex we’re having. Also the more we talk about it, the more we can help each other out with ideas. Win, win.

Besides, there’s nothing like reminiscing at this time of year (but maybe reminisce with these stories once you’re home from work). So, without further ado, here are Cosmopolitan UK readers on the best sex they had in 2025.

Cosmo readers on the best sex they had in 2025

1.“My neighbour came over and fucked me on the kitchen counter when my flatmates were away for the weekend and made me squirt on the sofa while he smoked a zoot at the same time.”

2. “It was at a sex party and we were in the play room for like an hour and a half. I don’t know what it was about it — it was just great head. It was obviously kinky being in a play room, which added to it. We were doing doggy, but he’d pulled me up by my hands, so I was upright. It was so good, but at this point, we were an hour and a half in, and I was like, ‘I gotta step out now, I’m tired!’.

3. “Letting loose and having really loud sex with my boyfriend at his parents’ house when nobody was home.”

Everyone's clicking on...

4. “Getting fisted and squirting for the first time at an orgy weekend while having a group fantasy porn night. 2026 is all about exploring the bratty submissive unleashed in me that weekend.”

5. “With a 22-year-old. I’m 43. He made me feel like a goddess.”

6. “I had sex outside at a queer party. We climbed up to the top of a podium that had a little room with a window. He was going at me from behind while I just looked out of the window waving at the partygoers I recognised. I’m pretty sure by the sounds coming out of that little room and the way our bodies were moving, they could easily guess what we were doing. Honestly, sex at parties is so much fun!”

7. “On a balcony overlooking Albert Bridge in London at 2AM in the dead of winter, with the guitarist of my favourite band. Hands everywhere, forehead kiss afterwards. It exceeded whatever expectation I may have had. I felt very looked after and went home with a flush and a smile.”

8. “My best sex of the year started out as a casual Sunday night hook-up... but ended up lasting five days.”

9. “It was a random weeknight with my girlfriend. She walked through the door and we just started kissing, then moved into the bedroom and had really long, hot sex in loads of positions. She’s an expert at eating me out, so I had an amazing orgasm too.”

10. “I was at a club and this guy kept telling me how hot I looked. It wasn’t until the third or fourth time that I realised he was the hot barista I used to fancy a few years ago from the coffee shop in my local area. We ran to the club toilet and had the best (albeit sweatiest) sex ever. Then we left the cubicle and danced the night away. I’ve been back to that coffee shop since, but he doesn’t seem to work there anymore. Hopefully we’ll see each other at the club again instead.”

11. “At a sex party with the most attentive older man who I just met.”

12. “I woke up at a guy I was dating’s flat one weekend. The sun was shining really brightly through the window, we had nowhere to be, and so we started having sex. The sunlight on the bed was already making it really cinematic, but then he moved us into a seating position — him on the bed and me on his lap — and we fucked really slowly and passionately. It was soooo good. Shame he ghosted me a few weeks later.”

13. “A threesome with a 26-year-old and a 36-year-old. I’m 48.”

14. “I’d been let down by a Hinge hook-up who wasn’t the ‘daddy’ he proclaimed to be when we were sexting beforehand. When I caught up with my friends the next day and said how disappointed I was in my failed sexcapade, they told me about one of their friends who they thought I would fancy. They were right — he was totally my type. I had never met him before, but I instantly DM’d him on Instagram asking if he wanted to fuck, and, to my delight, he was more than keen. We arranged to meet up the following night... and kept going until the night after that.”

15. “I was travelling with work when my partner at the time visited me. It had only been about two weeks but we had the best ‘I-haven’t-seen-you-in-two-weeks’ sex I’ve had. It was during the day and he had me bent out the window into the courtyard of the Airbnb I was staying in for anyone to see. We rearranged the room to have sex in front of the mirror, him not breaking his gaze with me. It was the most passionate and engaged I had seen him.”

16. “I’d say the most important sex of the year, and so in many ways the best, was my first experience with a woman, she was incredibly sexy and fun and our chemistry felt really easy. We had sex in the toilets of a club, and it made me confident in my feeling that I want to date women so it was very seminal.”

17. “I was super stoned with this guy and Rocky Horror was on in the background. I was on my hands and knees and he was pressing me up against my cupboards with his feet, with one foot in my mouth. I was jerking my shit and he was just calling me a good boy and there we go. That shit got me down bad. Some of the best sex I’ve ever had and it wasn’t even penetration.”

18. “Had a threesome that was so intense none of us could move after.”
