Jack Frost biting at your… oh.
Hello lovelies and welcome to our Kinkmas countdown!
I’ve wanted to do a Lovehoney advent calendar for a while now but because of cost, it was something I often put off doing. Well, now I have the perfect excuse — my audience will enjoy a kinky countdown to Christmas, too!
From 12th-24th December, I’ll be bringing you a post and a short Youtube video every day as we open this calendar together, followed by a review of our experience (hopefully!) on the 27th!
We deliberated over all of the calendar options but ultimately settled on the 12-day “Discover Romance” one. It’s designed to help bring romance to a relationship, but will there be romance in store for us?
Let’s explore…
Today is day:

In our Kinkmas countdown, and today we have…

Menthol Orgasm Gel
How It Looks
At first I was admittedly a bit confused by this balm; reasonably-sized box, dinky little tin plops out of it. Let’s not judge a balm by its box here though, m’kay? Let’s give the balm a chance.
The Lovehoney menthol pleasure balm arrives in a cute cold-screw-cap tin with a black label on the top. It’s a 7g tin, so you don’t get a lot. The balm itself is off-white and smells strongly of menthol. If my sinuses were congested before, they’re a lot clearer now!
How It Handles
You don’t want to scoop this balm; it melts easily and a little goes a long way! Rub lightly and apply like a balm for your bits, because that’s exactly what it is…
…. Until it’s not!
How It Feels
At first I thought I’d made a grave mistake: I’ve mentioned before about a Dom who used to make me put toothpaste on my clit, and I was kind of getting flashbacks of that. I actually got quite down and upset and wanted to wash it off (like I did back then) but I knew water would make it worse.
So instead, I waited it out.
Master wanted to try going down on me, “just to see” if he couldn’t convince me to change my mind on the whole experience. I was reluctant, but I agreed.
At first it was too much; the icy-hot sensation combined with his tongue was more than I could bear. I told him as much.
And then it happened…
I came like a freight train, in an orgasm that I didn’t think was ever going to stop.
I even thought I was going to implode, Scary Movie-style.
Fortunately that did not happen, and I am here (a bottle of water and a long nap later) to tell the story of the pleasure balm that blew my mind, but still.
The Verdict
If you’re sensitive to intense menthol sensations or have past negative experiences with cooling products, take this slow. A little goes a long way, and it’s a “YMMV” kinda thing — some people just might not like it, and that’s okay. The sensation doesn’t last forever, fortunately; an hour or two, and then it’s gone.
I wanted to give this a 4, as in “it’s okay, good, made me cum”, but I got “the look”. Fine, fine, have the extra bloomin’ star, okay? Yeesh. 5/5.
That’s it from me for this post. Do you have an advent calendar? What did you receive today? Leave a comment below or read more of my Kinkmas Countdown posts!
