Oh God, can you feel that? It's summer! The sun’s out, thighs are sticking to chairs, and the nation collectively debates whether it’s “too hot to function” or “perfect for a picnic.” Either way, let us bow down - or bend over - and worship the Sun Gods for blessing us with this glorious heatwave. *fans self*
But while summer brings long days, short shorts, and that sexy, sun-kissed glow, it also brings sweat. And humidity. And a new layer of logistical considerations when it comes to getting down to it.
We’re talking sex in the heat: how to keep things steamy without overheating, ways to stay cool while still enjoying skin-on-skin, and clever hacks to keep your pleasure high and your body temperature (relatively) low. Because yes, you can have amazing summer sex - and we’re going to show you how.
Enjoy Some Summer Sex Temperature Play
It’s hot and it’s sticky and not always in a sexy way. But wouldn’t some cool, smooth glass feel amazing against your skin right about now?
Glass is an incredibly sensuous material for sex toys - cool to the touch, silky smooth, and perfect for a bit of chilled summer play. If you’ve never tried temperature play before, now is the perfect time. Pop your glass dildo in the fridge for a short while (never the freezer), then let it glide across your skin for a deliciously refreshing, tingly sensation that contrasts beautifully with the heat outside.
Not only does glass look stunning and feel luxurious, it’s also non-porous, body-safe, durable, and completely waterproof, making it the ideal companion for bath or shower play when you're trying to cool off. Whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner, a glass dildo can bring a fresh chill to your hottest summer fantasies...
Take Summer Sex Outdoors
Long summer evenings are practically made for romance and a little bit of mischief.The air is warm, the light lingers late, and there’s something magical about the way everything feels just a little more alive in summer. So why not take advantage of the season and enjoy some sensual time outside? If you’ve got a private garden, a secluded beach, or a quiet corner of the countryside nearby, this could be your chance to turn a warm night into an unforgettable one.
Pack a picnic with strawberries, wine, and a soft blanket or two (channel your inner fantasy film moment). If you're lucky, the sky might even put on a show for you! The Delta Aquariid meteor shower peaks in late July, and the Perseids follow in August, lighting up the night with dazzling, natural fireworks.
But even if the meteors don’t show, don’t worry - the thrill of being naked under the stars, the sounds of the night around you, and the feel of warm summer air on bare skin might be enough to have you seeing a few fireworks of your own. Nature can be surprisingly sexy. Just remember to pack bug spray... and maybe some wet wipes.
Strip Off Naked
It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep when the heat clings to your skin and the air feels thick and heavy. Snuggly pyjamas? No way! When summer nights are sweltering, sleeping naked becomes less of a cheeky choice and more of a necessity.
And let’s be honest - bras in this heat? No, thank you. Instead, why not take the opportunity to have a little fun and give your nipples some attention with a bit of playful adornment? Whether it’s silky pasties, cooling metal nipple clamps, or even a touch of shimmering body powder to highlight and enhance, there’s something seriously sexy about celebrating your body in the summer glow.
Nipple play can be incredibly arousing and extra-sensitive in the heat, too - the warmth already has blood flowing closer to the surface of the skin, so even a feather-light touch or cool breeze can feel electric. Try a chilled steel dildo or a tingling lube to enhance the sensation and keep things refreshing.
Sleeping naked might start as a practical solution to the heat, but who says it can’t turn into something sensual too?
Aim For Summer Sex Afternoon Delight
Did you know that your body might be primed for orgasm around 3pm? It’s true! Research suggests that many women and vulva owners experience peak levels of cortisol, the hormone responsible for managing stress and boosting energy and alertness, during the mid-afternoon hours. This heightened state means you’re more sensitive and responsive to pleasurable stimuli, making it an ideal time to enjoy intimate moments.
What’s more, if your partner is male or a penis-owner, they could be experiencing an afternoon surge of estrogen. This hormone boost tends to enhance emotional connection and receptiveness, setting the stage for a more engaged, attentive partner who’s ready to dive into some serious foreplay.
So, if your schedule allows, consider sneaking away from work or responsibilities for a little mid-afternoon escape. Find a cool, air-conditioned room where you can relax, unwind, and fully embrace your body’s natural rhythm. It’s the perfect opportunity to focus on pleasure, explore each other, and make the most of this hormonally charged time. After all, who wouldn’t want to turn a regular workday into a blissful, sensuous break?
Enjoy Solo Summer Sex
Is the idea of someone else touching you just not sparking anything for you right now? Understandable. Sometimes, what your body needs most is a little solo time.
So, why not dive into the world of erotic literature? A steamy book can ignite your imagination and create a delicious mental escape, letting you explore fantasies and sensations without any pressure or expectations. Pair that with a sex toy you love - a trusted companion that knows exactly how to please you - and you’ve got all the ingredients for a deeply satisfying solo session...
