It’s Already Too Hot Out

It’s hard to want to get steamy when it feels like the world is steaming you already- here are some ways to get around that.
Oh my god. Can you believe how hot it is?? I would say it’s too early in the year for this, but I guess it IS June now, so maybe not. It’s that classic heavy humid rainforest heat that we all know and… love? Maybe some of you. Me though? I’m not built for the heat. I’m built to be wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter, real Canadian style. But! I do love the summertime. As do you, I imagine! But I’m sure we both know that it’s hard to want to get hot and sweaty and moving when you’re already hot and sweaty when immobile. So, here are some tips on how to still get freakayyy when it feels like it’s too hot out to do ANYTHING.
TEMPERATURE PLAY
If the temperature’s getting you in one direction, pull it back the other way! Temperature play can be really fun, and in heat like this, a welcome relief. A classic is running ice cubes up and down your/your partner’s body and intimate areas, another fun one is putting toys in the fridge before use. A chilled metal toy can provide a little invigorating energy spike, and can feel quite nice as it warms up inside/around/on you. We’ve also got cooling lube, which provides that cool tingly feeling we’re so often missing in these hot summer months. Additionally, a cold lube, which is often the bane of our existence, now has a more useful role as a potential cooler. If you want, you can take something like a coconut oil and put it in the fridge or freezer, and then take it out in its solid form in small pieces and rub this along your partner’s body so that it melts into a massage oil or lubricant as it warms up.
SHOWER SEX
When it comes down to it, there’s nothing that’ll keep you cool like cold water. Now, when most people hear the words “cold shower” they’re pretty instantly rebuffed. However! What I’m recommending is no cold shower, it is instead, the tepid shower, or lukewarm shower. Type of shower that feels warm on your arms but cold on your scalp, y’know? Of course, if you love a cold shower, then jump right into it. But for us weak folk that don’t love the idea of ice cold water on our junk, a tepid almost-cold shower is the move. Shower sex isn’t for everyone, but it can be a really fun and sexy time if it’s your thing! Just make sure you aren’t using a water-based lubricant, as it will wash off pretty immediately. If you’re using lube, opt for an oil or silicone lube where possible. If using water based lube, watch out for that shower stream, it might make things a little less lubricated fast!
I was gonna write a third bullet point and then I realized it was too hot to do that, so I’m gonna leave it there. You probably are too hot to read a third bullet point anyway. At the end of the day, there are many ways to stay cool while getting hot, and even just a few of them can make you feel a little less like you’re getting cooked in a Big Oven.
Happy cooling off!
