Warming Oils in the USA

What are warming oils?

The heat comes from cinnamon (mild and gradual), ginger (intense, spicy), capsaicin (at safe concentrations, the most intense) or calibrated synthetic compounds. The warmth stimulates the nerve endings and increases local sensitivity, so every touch is felt more. Many are also edible, adding flavour and oral play. Here you will find Shunga (kissable, 100 ml and in ten flavours, from coffee to vanilla), Bijoux Indiscrets (Slow Sex, coconut-scented, and Light My Fire, in strawberry or caramel), Swede (Fruity Love, in 60 and 120 ml), Joydivision (WARMup, 150 ml), Extase Sensuel (with pheromones or, in the Hot Oil, with flavours such as strawberry or piña colada), Eros (Power Warming, in strawberry or vanilla), Kamasutra (Oil of Love, in coconut and pineapple), Bruma, HOT, Coquette and INTT. If flavour is what you want most, take a look at edible erotic oils.

Safety

Use them on external areas such as the chest, neck, inner thighs or abdomen. Avoid mucous membranes (vagina, anus) and broken or irritated skin. Test on a small area first and follow the manufacturer's instructions, because the intensity varies from one product to another.

How to choose

• Use: if the product description says massage oil or gel, it is for the skin; if it says lubricant, it is for penetration.
• Ingredient: cinnamon if you want a mild warmth, capsaicin if you want it intense.
• Edible: for oral play, check that the description says so and what flavour it has.
• Size: to test the intensity, a small bottle is best.

Frequently asked questions

Can warming oils burn?

They shouldn't: those from reputable brands are formulated with concentrations that are safe for the skin and give warmth, not a burn. If it feels too hot, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with oil. With water alone, the sensation may increase for a moment.

Can you use them as a lubricant?

Not for penetration. For vaginal or anal use there are lubricants with a warming effect, such as Durex Play Calor or System JO Warming, with concentrations calibrated for that use.

How long does the warming effect last?

Between 15 and 30 minutes. You can revive it by blowing on the area.
