All about wax play, and how to do it right!

If you’re into light BDSM practices and you want to spice up your service list by adding something extra, wax play is definitely something that many of your clients may be into even if they haven’t been introduced to this concept yet.

Wax play essentially consists in dripping, in a slow, sexy, erotic manner, melted wax onto your partner’s skin. The warmth of the hot wax touching the skin, the sensuality of the gesture, the anticipation of the melted wax dripping slowly from the candle to an erogenous area of the body, makes wax play more and more desired among clients. So, why don’t you give it a try and introduce this very special service in your list?!

But, as any other form of sex play and erotic game, there are a few things to consider when doing wax play and a few guidelines to follow so that everything can go smoothly, and your client can leave the date fully satisfied and ready to give you a great rating.

Prepping the play area

First of all you need to properly prep the space you’re going to do the wax play. Place a plastic sheet on the bed, so that it can protect the mattress if it comes into contact with the hot wax, and on top of that you can use a simple, unexpensive sheet to cover the bed and make it look comfortable.

After that make sure that there are no fire hazards around the bed. Remove anything that can be flammable, from your play area. We’re talking about anything from paper tissues, hair products, cosmetics, curtains or drapes.

Place a bottle of warm water by the bed, because in case your date gets a skin burn, you can rinse it with warm water. Avoid applying cold water on skin burns because it will cause a shock and it will only intensify the burn!

Buying the right candle for wax play

Wax play done right is meant to cause pleasure not pain, that’s why is important to use the right wax and to follow the advice of the ones that have done this before. So, buying any type of candle you find on the supermarket shelf is not the right thing to do, because that candle can cause burns on your client’s skin.

Safe Wax Play Candles – the safe candles to buy when doing wax play are the ones made out of soy or paraffin.

Keep in mind that soy is best if you are looking for a softer sensation and it is the best choice when used on a beginner that just discovered wax play, because soy candles tend to cool more quickly in touch with the skin and does not cause any kind of irritation.

If you are looking for a stronger kick and a deeper sensation, then go for the paraffin candles, because they burn at a hotter point, leading to a more intense sensation. Paraffin candles are best to be used on experienced wax play users, that are familiar with the way hot wax feels on the skin and are not afraid of a more painful sensation.

Un-safe Wax Play Candles – are the ones made out of beeswax, because it will most likely burn the skin and candles that have colorings or dyes as an ingredient, because these two alter the melting point of the candle, making it unpredictable, so predisposed to causing skin burns.

It’s Wax Play Time!

When the setting is prepped and the candle is heated, it’s time for the actual fun time to begin. But there’s one more step to take, that can heighten the excitement and raise the libido, while making things easier for you at the end of the wax play: massaging your client’s body with baby oil, this way making it easier for you to remove the wax from your date’s skin at the end of the session. Do not use oil and wax on wounded skin, on genitals, or on the face.

Another thing to do is test the wax on your skin before dripping it on your partner’s body. This way you have a sense of how hot it is and of the intensity of the sensations that he’s experiencing.

And finally, a thing that all BDSM play has in common, no matter the intensity of the activity, is a safe word. Set up a safe word with your partner, that he can use when the sensations are too intense, the area where you are pouring wax is too sensitive, when the wax is too hot for him to handle, or when he’s feeling any kind of discomfort and wants to end the wax play.
