Temperature play in BDSM: How to Make an Ice Dildo

[tacit]

Note: This is part 4 of an occasional ongoing "how to" series on BDSM.

Part 1 of the series, How to Tie a Rope Harness Part I, is here.
Part 2 of the series, How to Tie a Frog Tie, is here.
Part 3 of the series, How to Tie a Shinju, is here.

As you might well imagine, none of these posts is even remotely work-safe.

One fun aspect of sensation

Very clever. I was using small Mexican Popsicles that come in a plastic tube. This is better.

nifty :) makes me almost happy to be not working ;)

Almost happy? What sort of post would it take to make you all the way happy?

[hypnagogie]

I have some ideas. :)

I just bet you do... :D

Hey, I was just talking about that whole sex with satan thing via ice dildos the other day.

Synchronicity,and stuff.

Okay, so I'm the new kid on the block who's been tested as just about as plain-vanilla as one can get on the kink scale even after having had sex, so I may be a bit clueless about such things, but. . .

wouldn't something that cold do nasty things when it comes up against internal moisture? I know what can happen to your tongue when you lick a popsicle or ice cube, and can only shudder at the thought of that happening with vaginal secretions . . .

Nope. That's why you run it under cool water first.

It's a question of thermal energy. As long as the ice has started to melt, it's just at the freezing point of water. It can't cause water it comes into contact with to freeze without absorbing energy itself; and when it does that, it melts.

You can freeze your tongue to an ice cube or a Popsicle if it is significantly colder than the melting point of water. The Popsicle absorbs heat from your tongue, causing the moisture on your tongue to freeze, but it's so far below the freezing point of water that when the temperature of the Popsicle increases by the same amount as the temperature of your tongue drops, the temperature of the Popsicle doesn't get high enough for the Popsicle to start melting.

Warm the Popsicle to the point where its surface is just beginning to melt, though, and your tongue won't freeze to it.

Neat. It's like an adult science project.
