In a post-Fifty Shades of Grey era, it’s but natural that we discuss topics related to our sexuality, such as sexual fantasies, with our partner. While the topic of sex was taboo in India for years, the past decade has seen more and more men and women openly talk about their sexual health, preferences and likes. However, despite this ever-progressing mindset, people around our country still find sex boring (cue *gasp*). And rightfully so. Imagine having just daal chawal every day for dinner. After a while, you’re bound to get bored, amirite? Trying out something new every now and then can spice up one’s sex life, and that is no rocket science. According to a survey conducted by Durex India, 74% of Indians want to try something new in bed. This is an indisputably high statistic and one that ought to be taken seriously.
Hence, Durex India initiated a conversation on social media with the hashtag #WhySoBoring inviting people to share why, in their opinion, sex isn’t exciting anymore.
India, we have seen the stats but it’s time you give us the facts! So tell us, #WhySoBoring? pic.twitter.com/349B6p3u8x

Famous personas such as Kenny Sebastian, Bani J and Eisha Chopra shared their viewpoints on this matter as well, emphasising how this is an important topic that ought to be discussed:
Okay what’s going on? Sex is apparently boring now.

Because there is hardly any knowledge about sex education given to us. We don’t have enough knowledge regarding this thing.

In order to open up a channel to address the issue, Durex India invited famous couple Karan Kundrra and Anusha Dandekar along with singles Karan Wahi and Chetna Pande to host a chat session on Durex India’s social media handles. During this much-awaited ‘Let’s Un-Bore In Bed‘ discussion, they tackled the issue of boring sex. An interesting take on how to make your sex life more exciting was brought up, and that is through fantasies. Karan and Anusha ended the chat session urging the audience to share their own tips on how to spice things up in bed.

We saw celebs such as Saloni Chopra, Gaurav Alugh, Anshumann Malhotra, and Kusha Kapila give us a lowdown on their tricks to making sex more exciting.
While private pools and new hotel rooms are Saloni’s favourites, Kusha cracks us up with her favourite spot: the sofa.
What’s important to note is that Durex India didn’t just stop at the acknowledgement of the issue of spicing sex up, but they also provided us with a solution. They shed light on the issue of sex becoming boring and presented a remedy to the same.
