warming up my hands

[DarkLover]

My wife is very sensitive to cold. I'm normally a warm-blooded person, but I find that my hands are often cold or cool as we start making love. I've tried running my hands under warm/hot water, but that only warms them a little bit for a little while. Is there a good way to warm up my hands quickly and keep them that way?

Raise the room temperature so you're warm all over?

My hands are cold most of the time also.
Running them under hot water for a few minutes doesn't help much, but after doing dishes for 15 - 20 minutes I have found that they stay pretty warm for awhile.
So go do up the dishes and then wisk her away to the bedroom.

You might not believe this, but try it anyway:
You can warm your hands "mentally. Lie down or sit very comfortably (preferably with a straight back and your arms supported). Now imagine and feel your arms relaxing, starting at the shoulders and moving downwards. Feel the tension seeping out of your limbs, feel them being drawn down by gravity.
Once you've completely relaxed your arms up to your fingertips, start visualising warm blood circulating through your hands. You can also visualize red or orange light or fire or whatever feels best.

The more sensitive you already are to your body (say, because you move a lot), the easier this will be. It does take some practice, but once you've achieved the sensitivity to relax your arms and can willfully move and spread the relaxation, the warming up bit will be easy.

To begin with, it's best to have a fixed ritual, but soon enough you'll be able to quickly warm your hands with a simple act of concentration.
Really, it works. And for the ladys: this also works for cold feet...

If my husband would do the dishes I would consider that foreplay! If he cleaned the bathroom I'd die of ectasy on the spot. Don't see it happnin' tho! LOL

Refrain from running your hands under warm/hot water if they're cold.

That way, you'll end up with chilblain after a few years and its usually very painful and takes years to get rid off.

I suffer badly from 'cold' fingers [ probably Reynauds Syndrome ]
- ( don't come near me !!! ).
But this suggestion seems sensible enough to work !
Thanks.

warming up hands

my dr told me cold hands and feet are caused by low blood circulation. i was told to do some deep breathing to improve circulation and that will cause hands and feet to warm up.

chilblain

This is absolutely false. Chilblain is an injury similar to frostbite but not as bad. It is a non freezing injury. These are the symptoms: It appears as red, swollen skin which is tender, hot to the touch, and may itch. This can worsen to an aching, prickly ("pins and needles") sensation, and then numbness. It can develop in only a few hours in skin exposed to cold. The way one might end up with chilblain is if they were out shoveling snow with out gloves on for a few hours or some related activity. Chilblain does not cause any permanant damage or long lasting effects- it's at best painful for a few hours.
