WAX PLAY BEDROOM

WAX PLAY IN THE BEDROOM

 (what it is, precautions, tips, etc.).

As the name suggests, wax play in BDSM involves partners sprinkling hot candle wax on one another for pleasure.

Precautions

  • Stick to kink play candles with a lower burning temperature to protect you, your partner, and the play space.
  • Avoid pouring hot wax on open cuts, ears, and face among other sensitive areas.
  • Have a first-aid kit nearby.
  • Have a cold wet piece of cloth in your reach and a plenty of room temperature water.

Tips

Create a safe word

Wax play involves real fire that can burn the body. Therefore, partners in play should establish a safe word to stay out of danger while making the scene enjoyable. Come up with a word and give its implication when called out, for example, use fruits or colors to mean stop.

Secure the environment

For a successful play, anything flammable should stay away from fire. Things including tissues, hairy items, or wool should be out of wax play rooms. A fire extinguisher may also be important.

Make body cleanup easier

Wax can be difficult to get out of a hairy body. Therefore, it is best to shave ahead of the game to ease cleanup after the pleasurable moment.
