As for my favorites, wax play would be probably the one that is in the top of the list. I always had a thing for sensation plays and in this regard wax play is not only promising to give intensity to erotic act but also is fascinating by its scenery. Hot wax is accompanied by the pain sensations, but pain that is so-called refined one. You get high while expecting those precious drops to fall, your skin gets tense and your afterwards you feel the sharp pain which merge into a feeling of warmness and sweet caress. The waves of pleasure and pain that result from such a tease create that very thrill which is undeniably what you can describe "from hell to heaven".
Of course first thing any activity begins with is safety and what dangers it can hold. So these are things to keep in mind when playing hot wax:
- Hot wax can lead to burns so a lot of care should be taken to minimize the risk unless you need to have those footprints as a trophy. It's useful to have all the emergency kit handy. I mean cold water or pain reliever may actually help in case something goes wrong.
- Not all the waxes give similar sensations. Experiment with different types of candles, changing from relatively cold to a hotter one. The common paraffin candle is apparently much better than beeswax which is thought to burn hotter thus making it dangerous to use for first timers. Besides, you may slightly decrease the temperature of the wax by varying the height where you will drop it.
- As any other practice, in order to get the idea of how the other side feels, you need to know it yourself. If you have a trustful and experienced partner, and you are a submissive part you may well entrust the whole procedure to the dom. But considering you are not so sure about your partner, testing on yourself can become essential.
- Choosing the right body part may also make a difference. Unless your pain tolerance is high, you should avoid nipples, genitals and inner thighs. You may begin with shoulders and move on to belly drawing patterns on sub's body.
- To make it more intense, you will need to add some sensory deprivation. Experiment with blindfolding and restrain your partner's arms and legs to create even more helplessness and an element of fear and trembling. Also, think of introducing ice into the play. Hot wax and ice often come in a good match, making your partner balance between the extremes.
