Most couples have experimented with texture before. Having sex on a rough carpet feels different from having sex on soft cotton sheets. Silk sheets provide a slippery, cool surface to slide around on. Play with texture by brushing a feather against your partner’s body, or running your nails lightly along your partner’s skin. Then, add a new dimension by adding heat or cold to your sexual play. Extremes of hot and cold awaken the body’s senses. For example, use ice cubes to trace wet, icy patterns on your partner’s body. Something about the wet coolness heightens sensation, and the “pain” of ice on skin feels exquisite. Similarly, a woman can suck on an ice cube (or warm her mouth with hot tea) before giving her partner a blowjob. The change in temperature makes the experience feel different, more sensual, more immediate. Certain sex toys are designed to be heated or cooled for a more intense experience. The Touché ice massager is a world first, combining a vibrating silicone bullet with a frozen cone of ice. But the problem with ice is that you’re stuck with a limited temperature. What if you want your sex toy to be cold, but not that cold? What if you want your sex toy to be warmed up? For that, there’s only one answer: glass. Glass Sex Toys Glass sex toys are ideal for heating or cooling, as glass can hold almost any temperature you desire. Almost any toy can be found in a glass version: dildos, butt plugs, G-spot stimulators, etc. Plus, glass is easy to sterilize, beautiful, and lasts forever. We offer a range of glass toys in our online store, including the ridged Kingfisher, bumpy Thorn, curvy Amphisbaena, and beaded Rattletail, all made of high-quality shatterproof Pyrex glass. Before you go to throw your glass toy in the freezer or microwave, STOP! It’s important to know how to heat or cool glass sex toys safely, so that you don’t hurt yourself or damage the toy. To Cool Your Glass Toy Glass toys shouldn’t be put in the freezer, as they can crack if thawed too rapidly. Instead, toys should be cooled down slowly over an extended period of time. Here’s how to do it. You need: A large bowl, cold water, and ice Submerge your toy in a large bowl filled with cold water for 5 minutes. Then, pour out half the water and fill the rest of the bowl with ice. Leave for 25 minutes. Remove toy and test against skin before using. To Heat Your Glass Toy Although it may be tempting to throw your glass toy in the microwave, don’t risk it. Heating your toy on a stove top or over an open flame is just asking for trouble. Instead, heat the toy slowly using a similar method to cooling. You need: A large bowl, warm water, and boiling water Submerge your toy in a large bowl filled with warm water for 5 minutes. Then, pour out half the water and fill the rest of the bowl with boiling water. Leave for 25 minutes. Remove toy and test against skin before using. A glass toy will hold the desired temperature for a long time, which is why it’s so important to get the temperature right the first time. If your toy is too cold or too hot using the instructions above, modify the heating and cooling time. And don’t forget to use lube with glass toys for a smoother experience!
