How adventurous are you in your lovemaking sessions? Mmmmmmm! Have you ever tried ice cubes? Sex experts have long touted ice as an exciting, exhilarating foreplay tool, which will be sure to send shivers up your spine long after sex is over, and I do mean in a pleasurable way.

The fact is, there are many things you can try to explore the sensory experience of sexual intercourse, which can include different temperatures, textures and flavours. Changing sensations from altering touch to using oils to including heat and cold can greatly enhance a sex session.

Your skin is your biggest sex organ, and stimulating it can add so much pleasure that can even lead to an orgasm. You realise how important the skin is in a lovemaking session because of the pleasure you get from simple touching and caressing, especially your erogenous zones.

Adding ice to the sexual senses gives a sensation unlike any other, and only serves to enhance the experience. Alternating between hot and cold temperatures can only be described as incredible, unleashing sensual sensations. There is just something so orgasmic about the contrasting sensation of cold on a heated body. The cold stimulates the nerve endings and primes your body, while the warmth of the mouth and heat of the body increase the pleasure.

So, how about taking an ice cube and lightly trailing it over your lover's body or dripping droplets? Put it in your mouth and explore each other's body. Deeply kiss with it. Alternate between the ice cube and your warm tongue.

Ahhhh! There are so many creative ways to use ice in your lovemaking sessions that will be sure to be mind-blowing.

BE GENTLE

But be sure to be gentle with your ice cube, start slowly, use light motions, and don't prolong the sensation on any one spot for too long. If you keep the ice in one spot for too long, that area will become cold to the touch and may become numb, and prolonged contact with ice can be painful. And, please, don't use too much ice. A small ice cube or a cube of frozen beverage will do the trick. Or use a clean cold object of your choice.

The idea is to enhance the pleasurable experience, not to create a turn-off. So be sure to have a container nearby to occasionally place the ice.

Oh, and PLLLLLEEEEAAASSEE, whatever you do, DO NOT use dry ice! This can cause injury.

Really, don't get hung up on the 'mess' from the melted ice. The sheets will dry or just change them whenever you recover from all that bliss. A hot, steamy lovemaking session usually leaves the sheets soaked anyway. So, get on with it. And enjoy. After all, a great sex life does wonders for your overall health.


TIPS ON USING ICE CUBES

Here are some ways you can use ice in your love making sessions:

1. Put it in your mouth, let it melt a bit, then trail your cold tongue along your partner's body.

2.
Hold an ice cube between both fingers and lightly trail it up and down
the spine, between the breasts, around the nipples, between the thighs
and other sensitive spots.

3. Linger a bit on your partner's
highly sensitive areas, like earlobes, the nipples, the crease in the
thighs, along the inside of the leg, along the neck, on the lips.

4.
Suck on the ice cube then use your frosty tongue to suckle each nipple.
Or use the cube to circle the nipple and watch it perk up then suck on
it with your warm tongue.

5. For men, wrapping ice in a cloth and applying it to your testicles before sex can intensify your orgasm.

6.
If your man is getting close to climax and you're not ready for him to
explode yet, placing something cold against his skin, like on the small
of his back, will distract him enough to regain control.

7. Put a
small ice cube in your mouth and engage in a passionate kiss, passing it
back and forth between each other's mouth. As it gets smaller and
smaller, hide it in different places and try to find it with your
tongue. This will prolong the kiss and drive each other wild with
passion.

8. Use an ice cube between fingers to trace a chilly path
along your partner's naked body and then follow it with your tongue.
The temperature change between cold and warm will heighten the pleasure
and watching you in action will make it even more exciting.

9.
During oral sex, alternate between your tongue and an ice cube. The
contrasting warm/cold sensation will prove almost climaxing. Some people
find the cold temperature of the ice cube, combined with the
cool/warm/soft lips and gentle mouths of their partner pleasurable on
their genitals.

10. Gently blow on your partner's sensitive spots
to give a warm sensation, then lightly trail the ice cube along the area
to stimulate the nerve endings or drip cold droplets on the area then
lick it with your tongue.

11. Use massage oil to give your partner
an erotic massage, making the body heat rise even more, then lightly
trail an ice cube over your partner's body or drip cold drops at
different spots.
