The Hottest, Coolest Kink: Temperature Play 101

Looking for a way to heat things up between the sheets, literally? How about a sexy cooling down session after a day in the sun? A cold fan or opening the window - no thank you! But cubes of ice rubbed on our intimate areas? Oh, now you’re speaking our language. 🔥

So, what is temperature play?

A technique that uses hot or cold objects or substances on the skin to stimulate sensual reactions and sexual arousal.

In BDSM, it's often combined with blindfolding or bondage to increase the sensations of temperature play via other sensory deprivation. Turned on yet? 🤤

A huge benefit to temperature play is that it’s totally multi-functional and adaptable. Try it solo, with sex toys, partnered up, in group dynamics, with household items, food, you name it! The options are endless, so use that dirty imagination we all know you’ve got! 😉

Ice, ice, baby… 🧊

Alright stop! 🎵 Collaborate, and lis-ten to our erotic ice tips: 👇

Holding an ice cube with your fingertips, trace the ice gently along all parts of their (of your!) body. For added stimulation, follow closely behind your icy trail with a gentle blow of air from your lips.

Allow ice cubes to melt slightly before placing them on the skin for easy gliding. Nobody wants any hard ice that sticks instead of slides… ouch! 🙅

Focus on their neck, wrists, backs of knees, stomach - and anywhere that you discover evokes a sensual reaction. You’re aiming to get the hairs on their arms raised, for their skin to be tingling in goose bumps, and of course, for their nipples to be hard as hell.

Tease slowly and experiment with the pressure you use with the ice on the skin. Once your playmate is bursting with desire, move on to more erogenous zones of the body - lips, nipples, upper thighs, and then the naughty bits... 🌸 🍆

Sweeten things up by using slices of frozen fruit instead (think melons, strawberries - anything delicious with a smooth texture). Hold the fruit between your lips as you coolly skim over their most sensitive body parts. You could even swap the chilly objects between your mouths and take turns to pleasure one another… Ooo! Is anyone else feeling hot? 😈

💡 Oral Sex Tip: Gargling with some ice cold water is a sure fire way to have your playmate tingling in pleasure as your mouth leads them towards the big O. 👅

Hot wax: sensation to the max 🍯

Dripping heated wax over our bodies is super erotic - from gentle droplets that lead to intense massage, to ultra-erotic BDSM power play.

Always and only choose massage candles (available from many online retailers) made from either soy wax or beeswax. These burn at a lower heat purposefully designed for close contact with our skin. Even more, these liquified waxes are eroticism-enhancers as well as moisture-rich massage oils. 🙌

Light yours for between 15 - 30 minutes. Once you blow it out, give it time to cool a little (totally based on your preference) before starting your drizzle dance!

Dribble the wax onto their shoulder and back areas before you move down towards their sensitive inner thighs and crotch… Prepare to watch them melt with pleasure at the rich sensations.

The higher you hold the candle over their body, the cooler the wax will be when it reaches their skin, so tease with close, hot drips and then transition into a sensual deeper body massage. Be tender, experimenting with timing and rhythms of your wax pouring to send them into a frenzy of hungry sexual anticipation. 😋

And remember your aftercare! Any wax play should end with a soothing moisturiser massage, and hey… who knows where that’ll lead?

Pfftt! 😂 Who are we kidding! We’re always game for round 2. 🙋

Whet your appetite… 🤤

Whatever objects you use to drive each other wild during temperature play, liquids in the bedroom mean there's potential for hot mess. While we’re all for eating up those frozen fruits (and each other 😛), sticky sheets are harder to freshen up when it comes to melted chocolate, oils, and massage wax!

You can always cover a surface with another blanket or towel, but why not avoid the mess completely by moving the filthy action in the tub? On top of the easier clean up, you also get to experiment with the running water temperature and pressures. Talk about extra steamy! 💧

Toy with this 🎮

Temperature play shouldn’t break the bank! You can easily adapt the sex toys you’ve already got in your bottom drawer. Silicone naturally warms quickly, and you can use warm or cool water wraps to change the temperature of most toys before introducing them into your antics.

Submerging your toys (or closed bottles of lube/oils) in water is another great way to change their temperature - but make sure your toys are fully waterproof or without an open charging socket. We absolutely do not want to hear about the sudden death of your favourite motor-charged vibrator. 🥴

Feeling hot? Sex toys made from glass, metal, or stone, are your best options for a sizzling sesh! Fill a bowl with hot (but never boiling) water and soak it for up to 15 minutes.

Want to chill? Cool your toys by either soaking them in cold water, or by placing them in your refrigerator/freezer for a while (depending on how cold you like them). If you do put them here, do set a reminder alarm to take them out! The last thing you need is for anyone else to come face-to-face with your 10-inch dildo as they’re grabbing the milk...

💡 Sex Tip: Toys will return to room temperature fairly quickly once in use, so bring your bowl of hot/cold water to your play session and top it up. 🌡

You can never have too much lube! 💧

A motto you should all be living by already, but let's once again embrace the endless variety of lubes available nowadays! From funky flavours to added sensations, you’ll find stacks of warming and chilling lubes designed to enhance your erotic encounters. A quick internet search will have your new stash of the slippery substances on your doorstep in no time! 📦

💡 Temperature Tip: Test the temperature of your toys and substances on your own skin just before using them on a playmate. If it’s too much or too little for you, the chances are that it'll be the same for them.

Wrapping up…

Hot with anticipation for your next raunchy rendezvous? This type of play is bursting with sensational sexual possibility… Don’t play hot-and-cold about it, there’s only one thing to do. So, what are you waiting for? 🧊 😛
