While we love using candles to set the mood, this is next level! Wax play involves dripping candle wax onto yourself or your partner’s skin while for purposes of sexual or sensual gratification. It is connected to the BDSM community because it can be used as a fun way to inflict pleasurable pain, but it can also be used to inflame the senses without any pain.

Why do people like it?

As with most fetishes, people enjoy playing with wax for many different reasons, it all depends on the person. It could be the warmth of the wax touching the skin, the silky feel of the wax before it hardens, and/or the act of scraping the wax off (which is really quite satisfying). Then there’s the pleasure of watching the wax drip onto someone… it’s sensual and sexy.

For sadists, wax play is a versatile and interesting way to inflict pain on their consenting partner(s).

What do you need to know before you start?

Whether you’re a kink master or someone looking to try something new with your partner, wax can be a sexy tool to know how to use…but you have to know HOW to use it.

The first and most common misconception to note before you begin your journey with wax play is that all candles are suitable for experimentation. They are NOT! This means that the pumpkin scented candle sitting on your bedside table is not safe for yourself or anyone else. Regular candle wax can get very hot very easily and not in a sexy way – meaning you risk extreme bodily injury and lasting burns.

Luckily, the sex toy industry offers all sorts of candles that are specifically designed for wax play. These candles vary in terms of the heat levels of the wax and the type of wax itself. You can even get candles that are made with edible oil, so that after being deposited, the oil can be massaged in and perhaps licked off.

Security.

In addition to using the right candle, you also need to set up the right space to immerse yourself in it. This may seem obvious, but candles of any kind are a fire hazard. Make sure there are no flammable substances, such as open alcohol, oils, cleaning products, hanging wall decorations, or billowing curtains around you. Also, never leave burning candles unattended. Tending to a fire would certainly be a source of bad vibes, to say the least.

Wax play technique.

Now that you know why you might enjoy playing with wax and how to do it properly and safely, we can tell you the best part…how to actually play.

To begin, test the heat level. It’s always best to test the wax on a small area of ​​skin, like your elbow, before applying it completely. If the wax is a little too hot, don’t run to get water or ice, just spread it with your hand. This will instantly dilute the heat and cool everything down.

The further away you are from the skin, the cooler the wax will be. If you or your partner would like it to be warmer, simply move the candle closer to the skin you are dripping the wax onto. You can also try dripping the wax in larger clumps onto the skin, which will also increase the heat or disperse the droplets for cooler temperatures.

Once the wax has collected at the top of the candle, it is easiest to pour the wax at a 45-degree angle. This will allow the wax to slowly drip intermittently. You can tap the candle with your finger to further control the flow of wax.

Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide where you want to drip the wax. You can experiment with sensitive areas like the nipples, belly button, or even the genitals. However, be careful to avoid getting wax in the vagina or anus, as it can be difficult to remove and have a negative impact on the body’s ecosystem.

You can even layer wax on top of other waxes, or blindfold your partner so they’ll be pleasantly surprised when they feel the wax dripping onto them.

The world of wax is limitless, so explore and enjoy!
