Sex toy technology has come a long way. At this point, we've got toys that vibrate, thrust, and feel just like a human mouth. But there's a new sex toy innovation that you might not have heard about: Warming Vibrator Technology.
Experimenting with temperature is nothing new in the world of sex toys. People have been playing with different temperatures for more exciting stimulation for years, whether putting them in ice or heating them up under warm water. But now, we have the tech to get your toy to the perfect temperature — often close to a very human 98.6 degrees.
Alone or with a partner, sex toys are a great way to heat things in the bedroom. Warming sex toys are just like your typical vibrator, but they have a built-in warming function that gently heats the toy to a comfortable, body-safe temperature.
A self-warming sex toy is about more than just the novelty. From elevating arousal to relaxing the muscles, warming technology has some benefits that might surprise you.
Without further ado, let's explore all the reasons why you should add a heated vibrator to your collection.
What Are Heated Sex Toys?
Many sex toys on the market today have thrilling features, from G-spot and P-spot stimulating vibrations to a sucking sensation meant to feel just like oral sex. While these can be a lot of fun, there's something more that you can add to the experience.
Typically shaped like your standard dildo or vibrator, heated sex toys can be warmed with just the press of a button. Whether you insert the toy or use it on your clit, you'll never have to deal with the unpleasant shock of touching a cold silicone toy.
Instead, you can lie back and let the warmth relax you. If you set it at the perfect body temperature, you can close your eyes and imagine that you're with a natural person.
It might sound a little intimidating to put something heated inside you, but don't worry. Sex toys don't get too hot. Most will be 98 to 110 degrees — just above body temperature, but not so hot that you could burn yourself.

How To Warm Up a Sex Toy?
If your sex toy doesn't have a heating function, you may still have tried to experiment with temperature. Those who crave a bit of extra heat in their solo or couples play will sometimes use other means to heat their silicone toys, like warming them under some hot water. You can also buy an entirely separate tool, like a sex toy warmer, to keep your toys at the right temperature.
But the heat from external sources will only last so long. It's not like you can keep getting up to warm the toy repeatedly, at least not without ultimately killing the mood.
That's where sex toy warming technology comes in. All it takes is the press of a button, and you can enjoy a gentle warmth from the core of your toy. The heat sits right above the average body temperature until you're finished.
The Benefits of Warming Technology
Now that you're aware that self-heating sex toys are on the market, you might wonder why?
What are the benefits of using a warming vibrator?
A heated sex toy can take any bedroom experience to the next level. Perfect for an evening of one-on-one masturbation or taking into the bedroom, these toys are just as good for your health as for your sex life.
It Offers Stimulating Heat
Temperature and pleasure are more closely linked than you might realize. There's a reason why people play with ice cubes and hot wax to maximize their sensations.
Applying heat to the right spots can make you even more sensitive to the touch. The genital areas are susceptible to temperature. The right amount of heat can boost blood flow to heighten your pleasure.
If you're not into wax play or other forms of more extreme temperature play, that doesn't mean you can't benefit from turning up the heat. Just a little bit of warmth can go a long way.

It Creates a Warmer Touch
While there are plenty of ultra-realistic sex toys on the market, not everybody loves the feel of an inanimate object inside of them. Some toys might feel lifeless to the touch, which isn't the best feeling when you want to get in the mood.
The temperature of the material doesn't help. Even if you have a toy made of the softest, most supple silicone, room temperature material won't feel very sensual. If the toy feels cold, it could be off-putting.
So how do you capture the natural, life-like magic of real human touch?
A warming vibrator makes silicone feel even more skinlike, with the gentle and genuine warmth of a real human body part — finger, penis, or whatever your fantasies conjure up.
It Enhances Arousal
When you combine deep relaxation, increased blood flow, and increased sensitivity, what do you get? That's right, using a warm sex toy can elevate your arousal levels.
One study found that temperature and sexual satisfaction were linked. Women who wore socks during sex were more likely to reach orgasm, which researchers theorized was because they were warmer and therefore more relaxed. That might not be directly related to warmed-up sex toys, but it says something about how heat might stimulate arousal — with orgasmic results.
To reach even more powerful orgasms, look for a heated sex toy with other sensual features. Something like a warming vibrating dildo gives you the best of both worlds with stimulating vibrations and relaxing heat.
It Produces Deeper Relaxation
Whether you are or what you're thinking about, a heated vibrator can help you get in the perfect headspace for pleasure. With the gentle, body-safe warmth, you'll feel a more profound sense of relaxation spreading from your genitals to your whole body.
Once you're in a loose, relaxed state, you can experience more pleasure. That means building up to orgasm much faster and enjoying a more powerful climax.
This relaxation effect isn't just for vaginal sex. If you've ever played with anal insertion, the anus needs to be fully relaxed to make the process comfortable. If things get tight or clenched up, it might hurt. Having a warm, vibrating toy makes it easier to experience the magic of anal play or even the P-spot orgasm. The heating function perfectly relaxes the muscles, putting you in the right state for anal play.
It Releases Tension
Being relaxed in the bedroom is always a good thing. But it can also be beneficial for people who struggle with sex in different ways.
Did you know that one in ten people with vulvas experiences pain during sex at least once? It isn't uncommon to encounter pain or discomfort during penetration, even if you're experienced. While a lack of preparation or lubrication can be to blame, sometimes deeper problems are at play.

A self-warming sex toy can make the process more pleasurable for people who struggle with penetration or orgasm. For example, someone with pelvic floor dysfunction, vaginismus, or anyone else who experiences pain during sex might find it easier to penetrate with a warm sex toy. A lot of sexual pain comes from someone clenching their pelvic muscles involuntarily — a friendly sex toy can release tension from the pelvic floor, relaxing the muscles and helping the toy glide in smoothly.
It can also be a benefit for other issues with sexual function. Someone with endometriosis, for example, might benefit from a more relaxed pelvis to ease the pain. Or someone with a history of sexual trauma might also appreciate the more profound relaxation of a heated sex toy.
