Your Call: How Can I Stop Ice from Numbing My Fingers in Bed?

Dear Em & Lo,

We’ve had exceptionally hot weather for the last few days and my boyfriend and I thought this was the perfect time to get some ice cubes from the freezer for a bit of kink. I absolutely adored the chilling touch of the melting ice, it was an absolute turn-on. Only…my boyfriend wasn’t quite as enthusiastic: he practically froze his fingers off and they started aching from the cold.

Lots of people seem to use ice cubes as a toy, it’s a spice-it-up tip that shows up everywhere, but they only warn you about how to not numb the receiver, there’s never a word about the giver. So how do you protect them from the icy pain? I can’t really picture taking ski gloves to bed (it lacks that soft skin-on-skin experience) and I’m short of other ideas.

We could limit our ice cube use to just chilling drinks, but I’ve had a taste, and I want more…

Thanks,
Love a Little Chill
