Spine-Tingling Sex Tips to Make You Shiver This Halloween

Boo, lovers! While everyone else is busy carving pumpkins and fighting over the last fun-size Mars bar, we're here to turn up the heat this Halloween with sex tips that'll make you scream (in the best possible way). Forget ghosting. We're talking delivering full-body goosebumps, spine-tingling sensations, and pleasure so intense it's downright supernatural.

So, if you’re planning a spooky night in with a partner, let HANX’s in-house sexperts set a tingle up your spine. As for those treating themselves to a bit of solo sorcery between the sheets? These tips will bewitch you, too…

The Nipple-gasm

Did you know that nipples have the power to conjure up full-body orgasms? It's not witchcraft - it's science! Your nipples are packed with nerve endings that connect directly to the same pleasure centres in your brain as your genitals. Translation: they're majorly ignored and we’re here to change that.

How to summon a nipple-gasm: start slow and build anticipation (like the best horror films, it's all about the build-up). Use gentle circular motions with your fingertips, alternating between light touches and firmer pressure. Try the flick-and-pinch combo, or introduce temperature play with ice cubes for an extra shiver. The key is patience and paying attention to what makes you or your partner’s body respond.

For an added thrill (and to give your tongue a rest!), try incorporating a vibrator. A suction toy like HANX’s bestselling pleasure partner Cindy can work wonders when held against your nipples, thanks to combined vibration and air pressure. Trust us, it’s marrrghhhvellous.

The Tongue and Finger Combo

Often nicknamed “the best way to flip pages of books” on TikTok, the tongue and finger combo is a real hero. It’s a cheeky cunnilingus trick that’s really more of a treat. The tongue-and-finger combo is the ultimate double threat. Basically, it’s all about simultaneously stimulating multiple erogenous zones to create waves of pleasure that'll have you seeing stars (or perhaps ghosts?).

The technique: start with slow, deliberate tongue movements on the clitoris or head of the penis while your fingers explore internally or externally. The contrast between the soft, wet warmth of a tongue and the firmer, more targeted pressure of fingers creates a sensory overload in the best way possible.

Try the "come hither" motion with your fingers while your tongue maintains steady, rhythmic pressure. Alternate speeds, switch up patterns, and most importantly, communicate. A little "right there" goes a long way in making this move truly magical.

And speaking of magic, keep things slippery and comfortable with quality, water-based  HANX lubricant.

Breathwork

You might associate breathwork with yoga studios and meditation apps, but trust us when we say it belongs in the bedroom, too. Controlled breathing can intensify sensations, help you last longer, and even lead to full-body, energy-based orgasms that feel positively paranormal...

How to harness your breath: during arousal, most people naturally hold their breath or breathe shallowly. Instead, try to focus on deep, deliberate belly breaths. Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, then exhale through your mouth for six. This increases oxygen flow, relaxes your pelvic floor, and allows pleasure to spread throughout your entire body rather than staying localised.

Right before climax, some people find that speeding up their breathing intensifies the orgasm, while others prefer to slow it way down for a more prolonged, rolling wave of pleasure. Experiment to find what works for you! There's no wrong way to breathe your way to bliss.

Pro tip: breathwork is also incredible for solo masturbation sessions. Pair it with Cindy for clitoral stimulation that'll have you levitating off the bed (metaphorically speaking... or is it?).

Chilling Temperature Play

Nothing says Halloween quite like a shiver down your spine, and temperature play delivers exactly that. The contrast between hot and cold sensations triggers different nerve receptors, creating an intense, electrifying experience that keeps your body guessing.

How to play with fire (and ice): start simple with ice cubes or a gently chilled spoon. Trail them slowly across erogenous zones—inner thighs, nipples, neck, lower back. Follow immediately with something warm: your mouth, a heated massage oil, or even a warm washcloth.

The push-and-pull between temperatures creates a sensation overload that heightens arousal. Your nerve endings won't know whether to brace themselves or melt into it, and that delicious confusion translates into spine-tingling pleasure.

Safety note: Never use anything frozen directly from the freezer on genitals or sensitive skin (ouch), and test temperatures on your inner wrist first. We want shivers, not frostbite...

Teasing into the Twilight Zone

You might have heard Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker advocating for the sexy power of edging. If you haven't, it's the practice of bringing yourself or your partner right to the brink of orgasm before backing off. Yes, it might sound like torture, but it's actually one of the most powerful techniques for intensifying climax. Think of it as the slow-burn horror film approach to pleasure: all that tension makes the final release absolutely explosive.

How to edge like a pro: when you feel yourself approaching orgasm (around 7 or 8 out of 10 on the arousal scale), stop all stimulation or switch to something less intense. Take deep breaths and wait for the sensation to subside slightly. Then build back up again. Repeat this cycle three to five times before finally allowing yourself to tip over the edge.

The result? An orgasm so powerful it might genuinely raise the dead. Or at least wake the neighbours...

Edging works brilliantly with toys, so consider incorporating Cindy to control the intensity precisely, turning it on and off as you ride the wave.

The Aftercare

After all that spine-tingling intensity, don't forget the comedown. Whether you've just experienced a paranormal-level orgasm or a series of shivers that rattled your bones, aftercare is essential. For the uninitiated, aftercare is the practice of extending intimacy beyond physical and checking in on your partner's physical and emotional wellbeing. Initially born out of the kink and BDSM communities, aftercare can incorporate anything from gently talking to each other, complimenting each other, practising non-sexual touch which releases the bonding hormone oxytocin or showering together.

So, don't get up and ghost after your Halloween humping. Pee (avoid cystitis!), hydrate, cuddle up and check in with your partner about what worked for you both - and what didn't. It might sound a little strange to have a post-sex review, but you'd be surprised how open and honest your 'boo' is ready to be!
