Summer Sex Tips

How To Stay Cool During Sex

Romantic Depot has quite a few locations in the heart of NYC which is in the midst of a heat wave. But that isn’t going to stop New Yorkers from getting down and dirty. So how can we stay cool while getting steamy? It’s normal to get literally hot while you’re getting hot and heavy with someone. After all, your hormones are going bonkers, your body is bumping and grinding, your heart is racing, and there’s definitely friction going on. The combination of all those things can make the heat almost unbearable when it’s also hot outside. We don’t want you to overheat during sex, but no worries! There are definitely ways to keep cool during sex. Ideally you’ll be able to focus less on the heat and more on the pleasure that’s happening during it.

Cooling Lubricant

While you can take your favorite lube or massage oil and put it in the fridge to cool it before you use it there are lubricants that have cooling ingredients that can give you a refresh on those really extra hot Summer days. After all, with all that friction going on, it’s a good idea to find a lubricant that cools on its own.

For the most natural feeling cooling lubricants Jo Agape Cooling and Wicked Ultra Chill Lubricant are going to be the best options. Easy to clean, and compatible with all toys these lubricants will heighten sensations while mimicking the bodys natural lubrication. If you wanted a tasty option Swiss Navy Candy Cane Cooling Peppermint Lube is a minty, delicious, non-staining lube that will add a fresh tingle to your oral pleasures. For a longer lasting cooling option that’s still going to be toy compatible Jo Hybrid with Coconut Cooling Lubricant is a silicone free lube that will cool and moisturize the skin. For the most intense cooling sensation select Sensuva Ultra Stimulating ON Insane Ice Personal Moisturizer. This formula is still toy compatible and will add stimulating, cool pulsations and buzzing sensations to your most sensitive parts.

Stimulate the exciting bits

You can focus your attention on nips with Nip Nibs Cooling Arousal Balm, designed to arouse nipple and enhance appearance. Cold and exhilarating, this natural arousal balm helps make the nipples more sensitive and perky. The arousal balm is great for adding delicious foreplay to bedroom adventures. Tastes like sweet watermelon with a hint of mint.  Or grab a cooling stimulating gel like Kama Sutra Intensify Plus Cooling. While it’s intended for the clit, it can also be used on the nipples or under the head of a penis for similar stimulation. The unique formula encourages heightened sensation and intensifies sensual response. An exciting, icy, tingling sensation that electrifies your most passionate moments. The fresh scent of icy cool mint helps invigorates the senses. Or get a two in one kit with the Crazy Sexy Cool Icebergs and Orgasms Pleasure Kit. Comes with a bottle of ON Ice Buzzing & Cooling Arousal Oil and a tube of Strawberry Flavored Nip Zip Cooling Nipple Balm, packaged together in a super convenient tin box.

Try Temperature Play

Get a bowl of ice cubes and get ready to use them on your partner. Run them across your partner’s skin and then switch it up and have them do the same to you. Take it to the next level and blow on the melted trail it leaves behind for some extra icy pleasure. You can also pick glass or metal sex toys rather than silicone. Glass and Metal toys are perfect for temperature play because they hold onto temperature really well. Don’t be intimidated by these toys, they’re hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and glass is typically pyrex so not easily broken. Glass and metal can easily be chilled by putting them in the refrigerator for a while, or leaving them in some ice-cold water. I would avoid the freezer, in case it makes them too cold. You can even cool your bedsheets. Spray cold water onto your sheet to get it mildly damp, or place your sheets and pillowcases into a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for an hour or so before you know you’ll be getting into bed.

Cool your mouth

Try putting some ice water in your mouth and swirling it around before you put your mouth on your partner. The cold water will cool your mouth and the new sensation can add a fun new element to your bedroom play.

Sex in the Shower

Turn on the water, and let it run as cool as you can handle it. Then hop in with your partner, and bring a tube of a good-quality silicone-based lube since your natural lubrication will be washed away. Just be careful not to spill, since silicone lubricant is very slippery and you don’t want to slip in the shower.
