Wax Play Article in comments  |

Wax Play I recently introduced my submissive to wax play. It was a resounding success. Both while she was blindfolded and a second time when she could see each drop coming. There are certain safety precautions you need to take with wax play. The first is the type of candle wax you use, since different kinds burn at different temperatures. Typical candles in stores are scented paraffin wax mixed with oil. They burn at about 120 degrees F. Pure paraffin candles burn at about 135 degrees F. Soy candles burn between 135-145 degrees F, but cool quickly upon contact with the skin. They are also easier to clean up and less likely to cause skin irritation. Last, there is Bees wax that burns at about 145 degrees F, but is sometimes mixed with stearin. Then they burn at about 170 degrees F or higher. Soy/paraffin mix candles get a middle of the road temp for burning. Most sex store, and online stores carry candles specially made for wax play. But always know the ingredients. The second to keep in mind is allergies and skin conditions. Make sure you know what ingredients are in the candle and discuss them with your partner to avoid bad reactions. The third is the height you drip the wax from. The higher you drip from, the cooler the wax will be on contact. The lower you drip, the hotter on contact. In wax play, you are not looking to cause burns, just sensations. Test the height on your arm before dripping onto your partner. If you can’t handle it, your partner probably won’t be able to either. Remember, you are responsible for your partner’s safety, health and wellbeing. Causing burns may be the last thing you ever do with your partner. If you aren’t sure, keep to the 18” rule. Fourth thing to remember is different parts of the body handle the wax temps differently. The genitals are very sensitive and easily can be burned. It’s not very caring or romantic when that happens. Stay below the shoulders. It’s extremely hard to control how the drops land and where. You don’t want a stray drop hitting the eyes, nose and mouth, which are extremely sensitive and can cause serious damage. Stay away from any orifice. Those areas are much too sensitive and dangerous. Fifth is how to remove the wax… Use your imagination, but be safe. Scratching it off with fingernails, gently or roughly, impact play to crack and splatter the wax, can get very messy with the wax flying everywhere. A knife can be used, with extreme care to remove the wax, but, cutting your partner isn’t the goal, so I use a rather dull edge knife. Some other tips and tricks and safety ideas are: Use a sheet or tarp under your partner to catch accidental drips and any wax that flies off at removal. (It really can be a mess to clean up, even with a vacuum) NEVER leave a lit candle unattended, you don’t need a fire starting, especially if your partner is restrained. (A bucket of water nearby is not a bad idea.) Have something to set the candle on when not in use. Let the hot wax pool in the tip before dripping, and burn the candle evenly on all sides to keep the wick burning evenly. Have burn cream handy, just in case Do NOT put the flame to the skin. First, that’s too low to drip the wax, and second, the flame WILL cause a severe burn. Keep vigilant. If your partner enters subspace, they may not realize the wax is burning the skin worse than the feel. Cover piercings and tie back hair. It can be brutal getting wax out of or off them. DON’T just start dripping and pouring at will. Test different areas for the response of your partner. Again, different parts of the body react differently to the temps of wax… and each person is also different in sensitivity. A very thin layer of massage oil make the wax easier to take off, but it’s also debated whether the oil affects cooling time when the wax hits the skin, so be cautious if doing this. Ice hardens wax and makes it easier to remove. You applied the heat, so apply the cold during sensation play. Remember to use Safewords. Your partner might find this is not a kink they enjoy once you get started. © 12/18/22 Ronald Dirienzo

A lot like to use saran wrap on the body especially if clean up needs to be quickly done and no time to remove from the body.

Interesting. Thank you Ron. So this is basically for sensation play and of course the apprehension of it coming, if they know what will transpire.   Ars longa, vita brevis - Art is long, life is short

Never had anyone who knew how to play it safe or with the interest. But not losing hope. Thanks for sharing Ron
