A heating device includes a housing, a thermally conductive receptacle, a cover, a heating element, a temperature sensor, a user interface and a power source. The thermally conductive receptacle is disposed within the housing and is accessible through an opening. The thermally conductive receptacle is sized to receive, completely contain and heat a container containing a product used in sexual activities. The cover is attached to the housing and is disposed over the opening to provide access to the thermally conductive receptacle and enclose the container containing the product. The heating element is disposed within the housing, and is connected to the thermally conductive receptacle. The temperature sensor is disposed within the housing and is connected to the heating element or the thermally conductive receptacle. The controller is disposed within the housing and is electrically connected to the heating element, the temperature sensor, and the user interface. The controller (a) activates the heating element in response to a signal from the user interface, and (b) deactivates the heating element and provides a status indicator via the user interface whenever the temperature sensor indicates a desired temperature of between 80 and 135 degrees Fahrenheit. The power source is disposed within the housing and is connected to the first heating element and the controller.
