A sexual aid in the form of a string of anal beads is provided wherein each bead is preferably in the form of a hollow spherical plastic shell. A liquid or gel fills the hollow spheres of the beads and can be heated or chilled prior to use. The liquid or gel is chosen so as to be able to retain the cold or heated temperature for a substantial period of time whereby the beads can transfer the heat or cold to the human body over a period of time during the use of the anal beads.
