How to Keep it Hot When You’re Keeping Cool
This is totally inappropriate content for people in the northern hemisphere, but it is hot, hot, hot here in Australia. We’re looking at temperatures 40 degrees and above (104+F) from now until at least next Tuesday (since the last time I checked). I finally broke down and gave the husband the go ahead for us to buy a portable air conditioner.
(Yes, it was me who broke down because it was technically my decision. I’m the one who works at home and has to deal with the heat. I usually go to the library, but I just cannot afford to lose more than a week of online work time.)
So for those of you who are huddled in your sweatshirts, turning up the heater, cursing the rain/snow… You might want to ignore this post.
For everyone else…
I don’t know about you, but the extreme heat of summer temperatures can put a real damper on bedroom activities and even any cuddly time. When not even the nights offer any cool relief, it’s hard to want to get intimate. But libido doesn’t always cooperate with what’s going on outside your body, so here are five ways I’m keeping it interesting even in the heat…
1. Midnight Mayhem. I know I said the nights don’t provide any relief – and they pretty much don’t, for the most part – but if you do happen to have a cool night, definitely take advantage.
2. Ice cube play. Talk about tantalizingly teasing. Ice cube play in the heat might require a few towels (unless you don’t mind your sheets getting wet), but it can be an excellent way to cool down and keep it hot at the same time. Ice cubes a bit much? Try cold ice or gel packs from refrigerator (instead of freezer) temperature or wrap it in a cloth.
3. Lip service. Or rather, mouth service. You know exactly what I mean. Not totally cool, but a cooler alternative.
4. Cool showers and baths. If there’s room for two, why not?
5. Fun with cool food. Fruit salad is one of my favourite things to eat on a cold day. Get out a little bit of this, little bit of that for a cool/cold finger food meal. If you do things besides eating the food, well, that’s your business…
