Everything you need to know about wax play

Everything you need to know about wax play

Wax play doesn’t have to be as scary as it sounds!

Playing with wax in the bedroom can be an incredibly sensual and exciting experience, but it’s important not to dive head first without a little preparation first. Wax play is often considered a form of BDSM, although it isn’t always associated with it. Essentially, it involves using the wax from candles during sexual play – hey, who said candles were just for setting the mood?!

Wax play can be a thrilling sensation for many people, and the idea of it might already be getting you hot and flustered – but how exactly do you go about using candles during sex?

Not all candles can be used for wax play!

The number one thing to remember, is that not all candles are suitable to use for wax play. You want to choose a candle that won’t burn too hot – typically, soy candles are the safest as they have a medium burning point (around 55 – 60 degrees Celsius) and they cool quickly on contact. This is really important as you can find candles with lower burning points, but they might not necessarily cool quickly on contact – which can be a little bit uncomfortable.

Soy candles are great because they cool quickly and the ingredients won't put you at risk of any infection.

Everyone has different levels of pain tolerance, and pain levels that they enjoy, so no matter which candle you decide to use, it’s important to test a little bit before you jump into it. It’s always important to test the candle on yourself first, as opposed to testing on someone else, so you can understand what your partner will feel. It’s always safest to drip the wax from further away, instead of pouring it up close, and ensure that the wax doesn’t get near their face. Always set a safe word as well, just in case.

Candles such as the DONA Kissable Massage Candle and Kama Sutra Ignite Candle are intended for romantic, sensual massages, with a low burning point that means they are completely safe to light up and pour over your partner. These are a great way to increase intimacy in a safe and fun way – but might not be suitable for someone looking for something a little more hard-core.

Why would I want to try wax play?

Everyone has different kinks and things that get them going. For a lot of people, the heat from wax can be a welcome shock to the senses and intense high-stimulation fun. Wax play is a form of foreplay that combines pain with pleasure.

If it’s your first time indulging in wax play, you might be a bit shocked at first, but that’s totally normal – the heat can definitely be a different sensation to anything you might have felt before!

Of course, this isn’t for everyone, so don’t worry if it’s not your cup of tea – there’ll be something

How can I add wax play into your sex life?

Before you get started, make sure you clear enough space for your wax play fun. It’s always a good idea to have a plan in mind in case the worst happens – open flames can be a risk! Either a fire extinguisher or bowl of water is good to have handy, otherwise knowing where you nearest hose or tap is should be a given.

Likewise, establish a plan in case the wax is too hot or someone feels as though it has burnt their skin (which shouldn’t happen if you test it first). Safe play, is fun play!

After testing the temperature of the wax and leaving it to burn for a little bit, it’s important to prep a few more things – because wax can make a bit of a mess! Wax can be particularly difficult to get out of hair, so make sure you tie up and loose bits and discuss with your partner whether you/them might like to be cleanly shaven to avoid any messiness with clean-up. Ideally, you’ll want to set down a plastic sheet or slightly damp towel to catch any fallen wax, then you should be good to go!

It's a good idea to massage the sub with oil or lotion to make removal of wax and clean-up a lot easier, too. This will also help them relax and ease into it. Start slowly, by drizzling the wax on your sub in a steady motion, and once you’re feeling more comfortable you can play around with different shapes and patterns. Pour a little at a time, or increase the flow – whatever feels right! It’s best to keep the candle further away from the body, but not too far that it splashes everywhere. Generally, about a foot away is a safe place to start. From there, experiment! Wax play might seem limiting, but there are actually heaps of different things you can play around with and different body areas to find what you like best.

Don’t forget after-care!

After-care is super important for anything BDSM related. Make sure you spend plenty of time communicating with your partner and reassuring them, with plenty of positive things like cuddling and words of affirmation included.
