The question often asked about temperature play is... why? Because most toys are not suited to temperature play, most people have no clue. Well, you're in for a treat. Let's consider a warm, or even hot, glass toy. First, warm just feels good. Admittedly, glass, even at room temperature is notably cool for the first few moments. So, warm is very comformting. However, do you know what happens when a very warm glass piece touches the skin? The skin flushes. A warm glass toy against the skin will increase blood flow wherever it touches. This leads to immediately increased sensitivity, engorgement, and sets off lubrication all by itself. Yes, starting play with a warm glass toy is very sensual, and will 'get things going' let's say, rather quickly. It is something that EVERY woman loves, and most every man too (should you venture that way... wink wink).

So, what of going the other way and cooling the piece? Also incredibly sensual. But, warning gentlemen... if you approach your girl with a cold glass piece right out of the gate, you're likely to end the evening abruptly! So... don't do that. But once you've been playing awhile and sensitivity is quite heightened, THAT is the time to pull out a very cold glass dildo. Touching the skin, especially sensitive skin in and around the labia and clitoris with a cold toy will cause blood vessels to constrict and muscles to contract. It is an especially exciting feeling for many. A lot of women tell us that if they are very sensitive after one orgasm, a cold toy acts like a 'reset' for the clitoris making continued play all that more exciting.

The Right Way and The Wrong Way

Warming and cooling your glass toys is much easier than you may think. But before we get to that, let's dispell some silly notions. They are made of Pyrex, so of course they are microwave and freezer safe. However, as we like to say... DON'T DO THAT! If you put your glass toy in the microwave it will be fine, but you will get hot spots. And if you're not sure what that means, think of smelling BBQ during sex! Not good. As for the freezer, think of pressing something warm and moist against something dry and cold... think tongue to frozen post. OWIEEE!

The quickest and easiest (and safest) way to warm a glass toy is with hot water, right from your tap. Just put it in the sink or in a bucket of hot water for 3-5 minutes. That's it. As for cooling: a bucket of ice and water does the trick, again for just 3-5 minutes. That method is easy and safe because it heats or cools evenly without any risk of heating or cooling to dangerous temperatures. That's all there is to it. Warming and cooling your toys is somthing that you really must try. :-)
