The more sensations and temperatures you can bring into your Scene, the simpler it becomes to figure out exactly what it is that turns you on! The good news is that our box of go-to items isn’t your only option during this Scene.

If you’re looking to add even more to your Temperature Play Repertoire, there are plenty of things to use that you can find right in the comfort of your own home.

• Use Your Environment. We want you to make the most out of your sensual experience together. To do this, we suggest that you think outside of the box… or, rather, outside of the bedroom.

  While this Scene is best acted out in a room with plenty of space to move around and play, we suggest rooms with tiled floors (such as the bathroom or kitchen), as they are ideal for an added cooling experience against bare skin. A tiled floor also makes for an easier cleanup afterward, with massage oils and hardened wax wiping easily off of the smooth surface.

• Heating Pad. Electric heating pads are especially effective, since you can adjust the heat with the touch of a button. Position the pad in different areas of the body during playtime, including under your partner’s back or butt when they are lying down (perhaps paired with a cold sensation on the front side of their body) or even held between your chests while you’re having sex.

• Metal Utensils. Cool stainless steel kitchen accessories and utensils like whisks and spoons can easily be chilled in the refrigerator or in a bowl of ice water. You can warm them up as well, by placing them in hot water.

  Combining this into sexual play can really amp up the heat between you both (pun intended!).

• Popsicles or Frozen Fruit. Food can be a fun way to play with temperature and taste at the same time. Slide frozen fruit or an icy popsicle over your partner’s body and then use your warm tongue to slowly lick it off.

  The alternating temperatures of the cold shock followed by the warmth of your tongue will send your partner’s senses into overdrive.

• Use Ice Chips‍. Put ice chips in your mouth before kissing, sucking, or licking your partner. Even something like putting ice in your mouth and sucking on your lover's fingers can be a sensational activity.

  To heighten things even more, try oral sex while ice is in the giver’s mouth. Or, if you want to ease into this, you can take a few sips of ice water before using your mouth on your partner.
