Spicing up your sex life is a great way to make sex more enjoyable, and it can bring you closer to your partner.
If you’ve been looking for a way to get a bit kinkier in the bedroom, look no further. Next time you’re getting down to it, consider bringing some wax play into your love life. This kinky trick involves playing with heat and sensations, allowing you to experience different feelings.
Whether you’ve experimented with different kinks or are new to trying kinks, wax play is a popular addition to most bedrooms. Plus, this can be an excellent place to start if you feel your love life coming to a standstill.
In this article, we’re delving into what wax play really is, how you can get started, and how you can enjoy safe fun. Ready to get going?
We’ll quickly introduce you to this saucy activity if you’ve never heard of wax play before.
Wax play is the act of dripping melted candle wax onto your partner or yourself in an intimate atmosphere. This results in heightened pleasure and a slight burning sensation on the skin. Some consider it to be a part of BDSM, but it doesn’t always have to be. The heat and thrill of wax play does lend itself to BDSM, but you can be gentle with it too.
However, if you want to indulge in some extra kinky wax play, restraints and blindfolds can take the sensations up a notch. If you’re trying it for the first time, it’s recommended to take it slow and gently build up to extreme scenarios.
Those who haven’t indulged in wax play might be confused. How is pouring wax on yourself enjoyable? Isn’t it painful and messy?
It provides an extra thrill, heightening your senses and adding anticipation to intercourse. Waiting for the heat and sensation can enhance arousal and give you a rush of pleasure. Wax is often used in foreplay to set the mood, ensuring both parties are aroused before any penetration.
Since it involves naked flames and high temperatures, it can be dangerous. But, if you research well before playing, you can have a safe and fulfilling time.
Some dangers may involve wax splattering into your eyes or other sensitive areas. When using wax candles, it’s essential to use a steady hand to control where the wax is poured. This can minimise the risk of wax getting into any sensitive body parts.
Additionally, wax that’s too hot can cause serious burns. You can’t just use any wax candles. Body-safe candles are needed. Body-safe candles are usually made from soy, as this melts at 46-57C. Beeswax, microcrystalline wax, and stearin aren’t safe for wax play.
Always research the candles you’re using before getting started to avoid injuries.

So, wax can make your sex life more thrilling. But what are the other benefits of wax play, and why is this hot play so popular?
If you’ve decided that it’s time to enjoy some heat, make sure you take steps to prepare.
Firstly, invest in a body-safe candle or a soy candle. Not all candles provide skin-safe wax, so it’s better to buy a candle specifically for wax play. This will remove the risk of any burns during the play.
It’s also advisable to apply lotions or oils to your skin before you start playing. You can use a standard moisturiser or massage oil. This prevents any wax irritation, and it makes wax easier to clean off at the end. Plus, massage oils can add another sensual element to your intimate session.
Finally, make sure you and your partner openly communicate your desires before playing. Wax play is intimate and needs trust, so sit down before you start and share your boundaries. Discuss the body areas you’re okay with having wax on, and pick a safe word in case you want to stop. Make sure communication is clear throughout the play too.
Now that you’ve bought your skin-safe wax, you’re ready to play. But what’s the best way to start?
Starting slow is always the best method when getting down and dirty with wax. Set the mood by dimming the lights and embracing your partner as you usually would during foreplay. When you’re ready, start lighting the candles and slowly drip wax onto a less sensitive area of your body – such as the back or shoulders.
Take time to enjoy how the wax feels on your skin. When you’re comfortable, gradually move to sensitive areas like the stomach or inner thighs. Never pour wax on your genitals or face.
It’s not advised to use wax during penetrative sex. This involves more movement and could lead to burns or wax in areas that it shouldn’t be.
Instead, use it as a sensual foreplay element. Mix the dripping wax with gentle touches and kisses. You can also pair it with kissing, and it’s a great way to become aroused before sexual intercourse.
If you’re worried about the danger, don’t worry. There are some extra tips to ensure you stay safe while having fun.

Cleaning up after wax play is just as crucial as preparing for it. Once your session has come to an end, allow the wax to cool down. When the wax cools, it becomes hard and is much easier to clean off.
When you’ve cleaned the hardened wax off, wash with a damp towel and jump into the shower. If you have any irritation, apply some soothing moisturiser or aloe vera for some relief.
Will you be turning the heat up in your home? Wax play and body-safe candles can add a spicy element to any love life. However, this sensual play doesn’t come without risk. Make sure you research well before playing, and always talk to your partner before. If you both consent, get ready for a night of exciting sensations.
