National Sex Holidays to Put in the Diary in 2022
JANUARY
Jan 6th: National Cuddle Up Day
Every year the US responds to post-Christmas and cold weather misery by celebrating National Cuddle Up Day. Grab your nearest cuddle partner - friend, lover, pet, toy - and snuggle up.
Jan 21st: International Fetish Day
International Fetish Day began in the UK in 2008 before being quickly embraced by the rest of the world. It’s a day dedicated to the fetish community worldwide and to encouraging openness and kink-positivity.
FEBRUARY
Feb 5th: National Shower With a Friend Day
This holiday began in order to encourage people to shower with a shower filter. But it’s evolved in a more fun way, and is now seen as a day to share a shower with a friend or lover.
One bonus? It saves water! Unless you’re in there for a very long time.
Feb 14th: Valentine’s Day
This couldn’t be left off our sex holidays calendar. Valentine’s Day is all about love and romance. Whether or not you find it cringe-worthy, it’s a day to tell your loved one you love them.
MARCH
March 3rd: National Threesome Day
Spring is almost here! Open your relationship or go out and meet some sexy strangers to have your best ever threesome on National Threesome Day.
March 14th: Steak and Blowjob Day
This unofficial national day rose on the internet as a male response to Valentine’s Day, which they argued was all about women.
On this day, women are supposed to cook a male partner steak and perform fellatio. The ideology of this day is obviously problematic (and heteronormative), but made slightly better by the fact that Cake and Cunnilingus Day is only a month away.
APRIL
April 14th: Cake and Cunnilingus Day
This is another internet-bred holiday, conceived in response to Steak and Blowjob Day. On Cake and Cunnilingus Day women are supposed to - you guessed it - eat cake and get head.
At the same time or on the same day? Up to you.
April 18th: National Anal Sex Day
Whatever your gender or sexuality, use National Anal Sex Day to explore your own or your lover’s butt.
April 25th: National Lingerie Day
We love National Lingerie Day. Need we say more? Celebrate this special day by buying new lingerie, taking new pics, or offering discounts in your Pantydeal store.
