Gentle Pleasure, Big Impact: New Figures Reveal Where the Erotic Industry is Headed in 2025
The future of eroticism is quieter, more intimate — and surprisingly educational. This is shown by the new VIKAMODELS Erotic Index: Soft Erotic & Sex Ed Trends, which will now gather key developments every two months directly from active content creators.
The first evaluation is based on feedback from 50 creators — with exciting results:
- Sexual education is the new star of erotic content: topics like orgasm knowledge, anatomy, and communication are leading the charts.
- Tutorials, live Q&As, and guided fantasy journeys are among the most sought-after formats — voice beats hardcore.
- Mydirtyhobby and Visit-X are the top platforms for soft erotic content — far ahead of Instagram, TikTok, and others.
- According to creators, fans are primarily looking for one thing: trust, closeness, and real education instead of sensory overload.
- Over 80% of creators gain new target audiences with these formats — especially couples, beginners, and women.
“The new index shows: intimacy, voice, and educational content are more than just a niche trend — they are shaping the new self-image of digital eroticism,” said a Vikamodels spokesperson.
The VIKAMODELS Erotic Index is published every two months and offers exclusive industry insights straight from the heart of the scene.
