What is Temperature Play?
Our skin is full of temperature receptors; specialist nerve cells that detect hot and cold, to keep us safe. Temperature play involves using warm or cool sensations to tease and arouse, taking full advantage of the millions of these temperature neuroreceptors, making them spring alive for a sensual effect.
Temperature play is especially effective if you use a blindfold, as the other senses go into overdrive. When the next deliciously cool or sensually warm touch is anticipated, but can't be predicted, arousal levels soar.
Cool Temperature Play
Chilled Sex Toys
Glass dildos are made for temperature play, as they retain temperature very well. Place the glass dildo in the fridge (never in the freezer) or better still, cool them in chilled water; perhaps in an ice bucket, along with a bottle of bubbly? Think of them as the ice cubes of sex toys, with one difference - they won’t melt all over your sheets!
Use a glass dildo to trace a cool path around and down your lover's body, before gently rolling it over their vulva, clit, or penis & balls...
Beyond retaining temperature, glass and steel have another star quality - their sleek weight and firmness are particularly sexy for G-Spot stimulation and erotic prostate massage.
Glass dildos are perfectly safe, no matter how wet & wild your temperature play becomes. But, understandably, some folks find putting anything glass near or in themselves a bit scary, which means they can't really let go and fully enjoy the sensations of a glass dildo.
If you are worried, a steel sex toy is a better bet for temperature play for you. Even heavier than glass, with even better temperature-retaining qualities, these are fantastic temperature-play toys.
Break Out the Ice
Use an ice cube to trail a cool meltingly-delicious path around your lover's body. Here are our tips for sensually wet play:
- Slide over lips, before putting your warm mouth over theirs
- Swirl around nipples to make them stand to attention for warm, soft licks
- Glide around the tummy and let melting water tantalize as it runs south
- Once the ice cube has melted down to a smaller, more manageable size (ie. won't choke you), place it in your mouth
- Head south for temperature-play oral sex - the combination and contrast of cool ice and warm mouth will feel exquisite
