Top tips for having sex when it's hot

June has arrived, the temperature is rising — and not just under the duvet. So how do you have sex without suffering in the heat?

With your partner wearing lighter outfits and bodies on fuller display, desire shoots through the roof — but the idea of a sweaty clinch ending in aquaplaning is a lot less appealing. If you're wondering how to have a caliente summer (but not too caliente) and how to have sex when it's hot, follow our guide for our top tips to try out!

1 – Cool-down cuddles for more pleasure

When the thermometer is through the roof and you feel like your body is about to implode from the heat, it's generally not the moment when the urge to play is at its strongest. Things are much simpler and more enjoyable at night when the temperature gives you a little respite. If you're the lucky owner of a swimming pool, that's also a foolproof way to beat the heat. If you go for this option, bear in mind that being submerged in water reduces natural lubrication — watch out for friction!

2 – Using your toy as a cooling ally

Feeling like a solo session but it's so hot you're having second thoughts? We'd rather give you all the good reasons not to hold back. First, if some of your toys are made of glass, you can pop them in the fridge for a few minutes. The cold will let you keep playing, with the most… refreshing sensations! And second, playing with your penis or your clit is excellent for your health: less stress, better sleep, a happy little heart, and so on.

3 – Choosing your positions

Missionary in the middle of a heatwave? No thanks — or at a push, one minute max if you're feeling adventurous! But if you're itching to prolong the pleasure, there are positions that minimise contact between partners. We'd suggest going for something like the andromache or the padlock, for example. A great way to avoid bodies overheating so you don't have to put your sex life on standby all summer.

4 – The fan… the basics!

Shelving your libido for the whole summer? No way! It's the season of fantasies — no need to cross them off the list. If you say "accessories to spice up your love life"? We say "toys, of course". To say goodbye to that feeling of roasting in the oven when you start playing with your partner, same thing — think accessories!

A fan is pretty handy for staying close… we're not going to give up our favourite position just because it's hot, are we? Come on!

Or the ice cube… gently glided over erogenous zones, it's guaranteed to have an effect. And along the spine, it's simply brilliant for an instant cooling sensation.

5 – Who said contact was compulsory?

Fancy getting vibey with your partner? Yeah, off to a great start! But don't forget that it doesn't necessarily mean you have to "merge" with them. Playing at a distance is perfectly possible. Let's go — grab your connected toy from the drawer, find a cool spot (under the air con, in front of the fan, on the tiles… let your imagination run wild) and off you go to seventh heaven!

This summer, let's go all in on fun, fantasies and endless sensations — no holding back. Forget the degrees for a moment and listen to what your clit or your penis is telling you! Want some caliente? No problem — with the tips we've just shared, all that's left to do is play!
