"It's finally spring, which means it's time to substitute my pizza and candy bracelet sex toys for something a little more refreshing. Cosmo to the rescue!The tip: \"Go down on him with an ice pop in one hand. Take turns sucking on his penis and the ice pop.\"The supplies: Popsicles. The good news is you can use any kind of ice cream you'd like, provided it is on a stick. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to do this if you were alternating between your partner's genitals and a bowl of ice cream or a pint of Ben and Jerry's? Save that for after! I do encourage you to experiment: Fudgesicles, Push pops, and chocolate covered bananas are all fair game provided you pay just as much attention to the ice cream as you do to the creamsicle (sorry, sorry) attached to your partner. Added challenge: Try not to laugh as you purchase your accessories. Make it a solemn affair, lest anyone figure out what you're going to do with them.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nI purchased mine at the liquor store at the corner and the conversation went like this.\n\nClerk: Ice cream? Getting hot, huh?Me: Yes, yes. Very hot.Clerk: A little too hot, if you ask me.Me: (panicking) Well, not that hot! In fact, it's pretty chilly in here so if you will run my card I will just go home and eat my popsicles all by myself while wearing all my clothes. Brrrr!And then I just giggled uncontrollably. Don't let that happen to you! (Also, if you get the ones with the jokes on the stick, wait until after sex to read them.)The mood: Festive! Or laid-back! However you want it! If, like me, you are not particularly dexterous, I suggest having a little light, because accidentally poking yourself in the eye with a popsicle stick is a certified mood-killer.My partner and I tried this in the middle of the afternoon on a warm day. The windows were open, the birds were chirping, and the next door neighbors had just stopped playing Skrillex. Skrillex is great for bondage, but not so great when you're trying to keep things light and assuring your partner that you won't accidentally bite them or freeze their genitals off. I suggested we put on the Frozen soundtrack, but A knows I can't listen \"Let It Go\" without dropping whatever I'm doing to yell-scream my way through the chorus. \"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight...\" Fuck, just writing about it makes me want to sing. You know what? Just let the sounds of nature be your mood music.The dirty talk: \"If you quote Frozen, I am going to go to the other room to watch TV,\" A said before we got down to business.\"I wasn't going to,\" I bristled back.\"Are you sure? Because I think you've spent at least an hour coming up with puns about snowmen and towers made of ice,\" he responded.\"That was for something else,\" I said, irritated that he had caught on to what I thought would have been some really clever pillow talk. \"Now, let's do this. And tell me if it gets too cold.\"\"Don't worry. The cold never bothered me anyway.\"Checkmate.The act: Once we'd dispensed with the hilarity \u2014 humor is important in the bedroom! \u2014 we got down to business. Because I am fairly sensitive to cold, we decided that I would work the popsicle \u2014 can we make this phrase a thing? \u2014 and my partner would receive the most amazing oral pleasure of his life. We were getting innovative up in here with all the temp changes and flavors. And don't even get me started on the colors. OK, get me started. I used a Rocket Pop!Before you start, you're going to need to know something: It's not enough to just alternate between the penis and the ice pop; you have to be sexy while you're doing it, because the visual is important. So if you're going to try this you will need to A) own this shit like you bought it and B) commit. Sell it.If we had made a sex tape of our afternoon ice cream social, I would have asked whoever was editing to cut out the first five minutes. That's because it takes a little bit to get into it. No matter what the movies tell you, sexily unwrapping frozen juice on a stick and then treating it as if it were a penis (in the unfortunate shape of a tri-colored rocket) takes some getting used to. And transitioning between the ice pop and the penis requires some balance. You don't want to hurt your partner in their most sensitive areas and you also want to avoid giving yourself whiplash. Imagine you're nodding along ironically at a Coldplay concert, not banging your head like you would at a Miley Cyrus show. (Although, her tongue techniques could be useful here; study those!)Once you get the rhythm down you can start experimenting with temperature (leaving the popsicle in your mouth for even a few seconds longer can make a big difference) and speed.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nA and I started slowly. He was understandably skittish because he's never had something frozen next to his penis before and I was trying not to freeze anything. For a few minutes there was a lot of communication about what felt good and what didn't, but then we lapsed into a fairly comfortable silence. He was enjoying the sensation and I was enjoying giving it to him. (And also the popsicle was delicious!)Once the ice pop started melting I also incorporated letting it drip onto A and then licking the area where the slush had fallen. The change in temperature drove him wild (I have been dying to write that since I started reviewing sex tips!) and the flavor of the popsicle certainly made performing the ice job (TM) even more pleasant for me. In the end, isn't that what's most important? Not the fact that you need to take a shower immediately after because you're all sticky, or the fact that you're going to need to spot treat your sheets, but the fact that with a three dollar pack of good humor popsicles and a can-do attitude, you can spend a pretty long time delighting in some quirky foreplay. (OK, the fact that there are five more popsicles to eat after is nice too.)The verdict: We'd definitely try this one again, but next time I get to make Frozen references! And use a Fudgesicle!Follow Mark on Twitter.Photo credit: GalleryStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
