Temperature Alchemy: Sculpting Sensation Through Temperature Play

This all-levels class introduces hot and cold sensations and demonstrates how to weave them into a risk aware, consensual sensory play scene. You’ll learn a spectrum of temperature-based tools, practical safety practices, and scene-building techniques to tailor experiences from gentle to more intense—whether you’re new to temperature play or expanding your repertoire.

What you’ll learn:

Foundational consent and safety: boundaries, safewords, aftercare, and risk awareness specific to temperature-based play.

Sensory mapping: how to identify which body zones respond best to heat, cold, and alternating temperatures.

Temperature-play fundamentals: understanding the difference between thermal intensity, duration, and distance, and how they shape sensation.

Tool overview: a guided look at a range of temperature tools and materials, including but not limited to ice, water, wax, warm stones, glass, metal, fabrics, and more.

Technique basics: safe handling, application methods, and proprioceptive cues to guide your scene (touch, pressure, speed, and contact area).

Scene planning: building a short, safe temperature-play sequence with clear transitions, pacing, and breaks.

Hygiene and safety: material safety (body-safe, non-toxic materials), skin prep, warming/cooling considerations, and recognizing signs to pause or stop.

Aftercare and debrief: grounding, hydration, soothing touch, and journaling observations for future sessions.

Who should attend:

Beginners curious about temperature play and how to incorporate it safely.

Couples, partners, and solo players seeking guidance on integrating thermal sensations into scenes.

Participants with varying comfort levels who want a structured, progressive approach.

Prerequisites:

No prior experience required. A willingness to communicate openly about boundaries and comfort levels.

Bring an open mindset about exploring sensations and a readiness to pause or modify activities as needed.
