Are you ready to take a hot dive into sensuality? When it comes to BDSM, wax play is like the chocolate fondue of kink—sensual, exciting, and a little messy if you’re not careful. If you’re curious about dripping hot wax on your partner and turning your bedroom into a candlelit masterpiece, check out these tips, tricks, and fun scenarios that will make you melt with pleasure.
What Is Wax Play?
Wax play involves dripping warm (not scalding!) wax onto the skin for a combination of mild pain and pleasure. The sensation is intense, but with proper precautions, it’s a safe and sensual way to explore your kinky side. Plus, it’s a great excuse to stock up on sexy candles!
Start with Safety
Before you start your masterpiece, let’s make sure you don’t accidentally set the mood—or your partner—on fire.
- Use the Right Candles: Avoid regular candles, which burn too hot. Opt for candles made specifically for wax play (soy or paraffin wax burns at a lower temperature).
- Test the Wax: Drip some wax on your own skin (like your wrist) to gauge the heat. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your partner.
- Prep Your Space: Lay down towels or a plastic sheet. Wax can be fun to clean off skin—not so much off your carpet.
- Mind Sensitive Areas: Drip wax on fleshy, non-sensitive areas like the back or thighs. Avoid the face or genitals unless you’re highly experienced.
- Be Prepared: Always keep a burn cream handy for aftercare and a fire extinguisher nearby.
!Don’t forget to extinguish your flame every time and never leave a lit candle unattended!
Sexy Wax Play Tips
- Build the Anticipation: Blindfold your partner and let them hear the candlelight crackle. The suspense will heighten the experience.
- Test Drips: Start from a height of 18-24 inches to let the wax cool slightly before it lands
- Height Matters: The higher you hold the candle, the cooler the wax will be when it lands. Experiment to find the perfect distance.
- Layer Up: Try building layers of wax for an intensified sensation and a cool visual effect.
- Temperature Play: Alternate between hot wax and ice cubes for a thrilling contrast that will keep your partner guessing.
- Colored Wax: Use different colored wax to create patterns or write sexy messages on your partner’s skin. It’s like body art but kinkier!
Common Wax Play Mishaps (and How to Avoid Them)
- Wax Everywhere!
Wax can splatter if you’re not careful. Drip slowly and steady your hand for precision. - Oops, Too Hot!
Test the wax first and start dripping from a height. If it’s still too hot, hold the candle even higher or let the wax cool slightly in a spoon before applying it. - Sticky Mess
Peeling wax can be satisfying but messy. Use coconut oil or baby oil to loosen stubborn bits from the skin.
Cleaning Up Like a Pro
Cooled wax on skin can be peeled off easily, but wax on fabrics or furniture is a different story. If you do have a spill:
- Harden the wax by placing ice on it.
- Gently scrape it off with a credit card or plastic tool.
- Use a fabric-safe cleaner to tackle any residue.
Pro Tip: Disposable sheets can make cleanup effortless.
Wax play is the perfect mix of sensual, sexy, and just a touch daring. Whether you’re crafting a work of art on your partner’s back or adding it to a sensual night of teasing, this activity offers endless opportunities for fun and connection. Just remember the key to a hot time is communication, consent, research and a sense of humor.
