Playing with temperature can add a whole new layer of excitement to the bedroom. Whether you want to experiment with hot or cold, sensual play can heighten sensitivity in certain parts of the body, make areas more sensitive to touch, and even create sensations that would not be felt otherwise.

Temperature play is an erotic technique that uses hot and cold objects to stimulate your senses. When it comes to temperature play, like any form of play, communication is key. So make sure to check in with your partner(s). Here are 6 tips for temp play;

1 Take a sip - For a more subtle sensation, perform oral sex after sipping a glass of cold water or a hot cup of tea.

2 Use ice cubes - Make a circular motion with an ice cube as it melts on the nipples, clitoris, or penis.

3 Try oils & wax - Give a sensual massage with warm oil or the wax from a body-safe candle.

4 Self-warming vibrator - Use a warming vibe such as the Vesper or Wink+ for solo or partner temperature play.

5 Specialty lubricants - Swap out your regular lube with a warming or cooling lube.

6 Use a compressed towel - Warm or freeze a towel and press it on the neck, lower stomach, or nipples.

Additionally, temperature play can be used for relaxation and calming down after a particularly intense sexual encounter. Just remember to get consent first and do your own research and be mindful of the temperature / body location you wish to play with.

As a reminder, do your own research and be mindful of the temperature and body location you choose to play with.
