What is temperature play?
The point of temperature play is to provoke arousal by using the skin's neuroreceptors. Stimulation through heat or cold gives the body a rush of sensations that, during foreplay, is translated into arousal. Temperature play is especially fun when hot and cold are combined together in unpredictable patterns (for the receiver).
Objects that retain temperature (such as those made of metal) can also be used after they have been chilled or heated. More intense or extreme forms of temperature play (usually involving fire), like cupping and streaking, are more frequent in BDSM activities.
Typical (and safe) temperature play techniques involve ice, melted wax, metal that has been chilled or warmed, and hot or cold food.

Girl 2: In the bedroom...? Oh! Um, me and my boyfriend like to do temperature play sometimes. It's really pleasurable, you should try it with your boyfriend!
