Explore Temperature Play with Glass Toys
Your sex life is space for exploration. Exploring different connections, roles, energies, and sensations. Some people do this through new partners, kink and BDSM, or new toys.
An incredibly hot (yet cold) way you can introduce more exploration into your sex life is through temperature play. Whether or not you’ve explored temperature play before, doing it with glass toys takes it to a whole new level.
Let’s dive into all things temperature play and glass toys and watch how fast things heat up (or cool down)!
What is temperature play?
Temperature play is like a gentle introduction to the world of BDSM. It falls into the “sensory play” category along with other things like using a paddle for spanking or a feather tickler for a softer sensation.
What sets temperature play apart are thermoreceptors – special nerve cells that help your body gauge if there’s been a temperature change and help your skin adapt to those changes. The neuroreceptors often get flooded with sensations when they feel a hot or cold temperature on the skin.
People explore temperature play on the hot end of the spectrum using (body-safe) massage candles and for cold play – things like glass toys and ice cubes (we don’t advise this – keep reading to learn why).
The best toys for temperature play
Ice, ice baby! Actually, think again.
An ice cube is great in a refreshing beverage, but in your netherregions, not so much! Ice cubes are not the best option for temperature play. When put into the vagina, they can potentially get stuck, causing problems with removal. They can also lead to numbing if left inside for too long.
If you do want to use cubes for foreplay on other areas of the body, be sure to run them underwater to prevent them from sticking to the body.
That being said, your best (and safest) bet for temperature play is using a glass toy. Two fan favorites are The BDE Glass Dildo and The Medusa Glass Dildo Pleasure Wand.
The BDE Glass Dildo, as you may imagine has quite the big dick energy – hence the name. Made from 100% premium borosilicate glass, this dildo is perfectly shaped and ribbed for deep, fulfilling penetration, catering to your every curve. Its ergonomic design allows for deep, satisfying penetration.
The Medusa Glass Dildo Pleasure Wand is known around here are the “double teaser” of glass pleasure wands, thanks to its versatility. You can use it for both g-spot and anal stimulation – just be sure it’s properly sanitized if you use it for anal play. The hooked, bulbous end is ideal for G-spot stimulation, and may even elicit squirting!
How to start exploring temperature play
Just like any other sexual activity, especially in the kink realm, there are certain safety precautions to abide by when exploring temperature play.
Like with anything new, you’ll want to move slowly and of course, test out the temperatures first on your wrist, especially before you put anything near your vulva.
All of our glass toys are body-safe and safe to pop into the fridge or freezer for 20-30 minutes before getting into temperature play. When you’re ready to play simply take out your wand or dildo and get to it! It’s nice to use the toy all over you or your partner’s body before any penetration. This can help ease you into it and make sure that it’s the right temperature – and is really hot foreplay.
Know that you don’t need a partner to try temperature play, this is something that’s great to explore on your own. It can also help you figure out what you like so you can then communicate it to sexual partners.
