Few things ruin a romantic moment faster than frigid weather. When you’re in the mood to get intimate but feel like you might freeze if you get naked, sex can be a struggle. These tips will help to heat things up and encourage year-round romance.

1. Have a Warm Drink

If you can’t stop shivering despite being wrapped up in your favorite blanket, try warming up from the inside. Pour a hot cup of tea and hold it in your hands. Take small sips while you talk to your partner about that new sex position you’ve been meaning to try.

2. Dress in Layers

Cuddle up with your partner under a mountain of blankets while you’re both fully clothed. After just a few minutes of touching and kissing, you’ll be warm enough to start shedding layers!

3. Keep the Clothes On

Leave your clothes on while you cozy up to your partner. Touch them, kiss them, and tug at their clothing as you let your anticipation grow. Pay attention to the textures of the fabric and the way it lays against their body. Instead of rushing to undress, slow down and enjoy every second of this erotic warm-up!

4. Move Your Body

Get moving! As you make skin-to-skin contact and change positions, your body will naturally become warmer.

5. Find Sources of Heat

Find the hot spots. Your bedroom may be cold, but have you tried the laundry room? For a little extra warmth, throw a load of laundry in the dryer. To really steam things up, take a hot shower with your partner.

6. Think Warm Thoughts

Visualization exercises can be powerful relaxation tools. Imagine yourself walking on a warm beach under a golden sun. Breathe in and out slowly until your tension subsides.

7. Use Warming Lube

Warming lubes and oils like this Hott Love Cotton Candy Warming Massage Oil heat things up almost instantly. Apply a few drops to your most sensitive parts to create an erotic sense of warmth. Use it as a genital lubricant or use it to gently massage your partner’s shoulders.

8. Use Self-Warming Toys

Warm up from the inside with self-warming sex toys. With the press of a button, warming toys like the Oona Joy Heated Rechargeable Waterproof Rabbit Vibrator provide just the right amount of heat.


9. Use Warmed Glass Toys

Submerge glass toys in hot or cold water to make them warm or cool to the touch. Glass toys are incredibly dynamic in their ability to adapt to changing temperatures. For more temperature play tips, check out our blog post on the topic.


10. Try a New Position

Like a new workout, a new sex position requires the body to work a little harder to get used to the new movements.  Get intimate in a new (and slightly challenging) sex position to heat things up quickly!

Put on your favorite romcom, pile on the blankets, and don’t let the cold slow down your love life this season!
