If you are looking to invite something new, playful, and accessible into your sex life, this workshop is for you! Temperature play utilizes the sensations of hot and cold to excite the senses. In this workshop we will chat about what makes temperature play so fun, safety considerations, and different ways to explore inspired by products in the store! We will also learn about wax play, a type of temperature play that involves dripping hot wax onto a consenting partner’s body. There will be the opportunity to get hands-on if you so choose, either with yourself or a buddy you bring or meet at the workshop. You can participate at your comfort level.

Temperature play 101 is taught by Erica Van Kuppeveld (she/her), owner of SEXPLETIVE, a sexual health hub based in Edmonton offering tailored sex-ed and sustainable pleasure products. The workshop is available for people of all skill levels, but will be particularly useful if this type of play is newer to you. There is no need to bring anything, although wearing a t-shirt or top with sleeves which can be rolled up is advised so you can try out the thrilling sensations on your skin.
