Waxing can be very safe and a lot of fun. It is also very sensual due to the interaction of the individuals, the mood the candles set and the background music. My submissive and I have been playing with wax now for more than 8 months and we both enjoy it as much now as we did the first time we ever watched it. But before you just jump in there and get a bunch of candles and start dripping it on someone there are a few things that you need to know to keep it safe.

The first consideration is the candles to be used. There are tapers, pillars, votive and many other types out there in range of many colors and scents. Heat is the most important factor to consider. Bees wax melts at a much higher temperature so they should not be used. Plus it is a lot stickier and harder to remove once applied. Look for white paraffin candles, which you can buy in hardware stores, for they are a lot cooler and will be much safer to use. Candles with a small amount of bees wax is all right to use. Test the candle by pressing your finger into it, if it is soft then it will melt at a lower temperature. Dark colored candles and scented candles tend to be hotter but they can be used with caution.

Before you purchase any candles talk to your submissive and find out if she has any allergies. The additives that are put into the candles may cause an allergic reaction on the skin and you need to know this up front so that those candles can be avoided. If this is a problem then you can always make your own candles. Or better yet you can have your submissive make them. You should try the candles on yourself first so that you know how it feels and then test them on your submissive. A good area to try it would be on the back of your hand or on your forearm. When testing the candle start by dripping the wax from a height of 18 inches above your arm and slowly lower the distance of the drip. Height affects the temperature of the wax because the higher it is the more time it will have to cool before it contacts the skin. This will give you and idea of how high to hold the candle so as not to cause your sub any undue discomfort. Watch her reaction as you drip the wax on her. Do one arm while she watches and then do the other arm with her eyes closed. By doing this you can get a better reaction from her for the sub will not know when the wax is coming.

You must also take the site preparation into consideration. You need to have a sturdy table for your sub to lie on. Place a tarp, drop cloth or a shower curtain under the table to catch and contain the was so that it does not get into the floor or the carpet. Get some padding for the table and then place your old sheet over it. This will help in the clean up later. Check the surrounding area for any flammable hazards such as curtains or anything else that may catch on fire from the burning candles. Have a fire extinguisher handy just in case. Also have some ice, cold water and a damp wash cloth or face towel. This will help cool down the wax if the sub complains of too much heat. Make sure that the candles are placed on a sturdy table close by. If you are using taper candles you can light them just before the scene but if you are using pillars of votive candles you need to light them ahead of time so that they are ready when the scene starts.

Once all of the preparations have been done comes the fun part, the actual waxing. Help your sub onto the table and insure that all of her clothing that will remain on is not near any of the open flames. If you are using any restraints insure that the wax does not get under it. Also insure that the hair is out of the way or covered because wax is hard to remove from it. If your sub has a lot of body hair (men) either have it shaved or apply some moisturizing lotion or mineral oil on the area so that the removal of the wax after the scene will be much easier.

Always insure to have a firm grip on the candle while your are handling it, especially while it is over the sub. If you are using open votive candles hold it that the bottom of the candle is cradled in your hand because the wick may come out while you are dripping the wax. It happened to me once and I had to react quickly. Luckily I was able to catch it before it dropped on my sub. You have to be alert and on your toes at all times while waxing.

Hold the candle about 18 inches above the sub and start dripping it on the back. Watch to see how your sub reacts to the wax. The hands tell a lot as well as the movement of the body as the wax comes into contact with the skin. If you are not sure of how hot the wax is place your hand on the subs back and drip or pour the wax over your hand onto the back. This will five you an idea of the wax heat and you can adjust the height that you rare dripping from.. If you want more heat just lower the candle if you want less then raise the candle. Remember that while you are dripping the wax it will splatter when it hits the skin. So wear something that you don't mind getting wax on. You can build up the wax as thick as you want on the back. If you are waxing close to the crotch you must be careful so as not to get any on the genitalia because that will hurt more. Also stay away from any body piercing. The heat transfer from the wax to the ring will be quickly and more intense. While dripping the wax on the body you may want to drip some cold water every so often. The sub will have a hard time telling the hot from the cold after a while.

Once you are done with the waxing comes the removal. WARNING the skin will be very sensitive after the waxing. It will be red and that redness will stay there for a few hours. As with all aspects of D/s after care of the sub is very important. Check the skin and insure there is no blistering and if it does occur perform the proper first aid to the area. Seek medical attention for your sub if the affected area is badly blistered. But if properly done you should never have that problem. You can use a knife, paint scraper of just peel it off with your fingers. If you use a knife make sure that the angle is such so as not to cut the skin. You want to get under it and peel it with the knife a little at a time. If you have a spot that is hard to come off place some ice on it and let it get brittle and then remove it. You could also use a flogger or paddle to take the wax off but that can be very messy. And your submissive must be able to endure the pain of the flogger on top of the sensitive skin

If any of the wax got past the drop cloth then you can just scrape the wax off the carpet or floor. If is on the carpet you can get a brown paper bag and place it over the wax and apply a hot iron to it and the paper will soak up the wax. Or you can apply ice and let it get brittle and chip it off.

Some people enjoy waxing using a crock-pot to keep the wax melted and at a constant temperature. Others like to use paintbrushes to apply the wax. All I can say is try the different methods and use what your enjoy the most. Or you can just do a little of each depending on the place or mood you are in. The main thing is that both of you should get some enjoyment from it. Watch others, learn from them and then use what makes you feel good. Just remember: Be prepared , watch for possible hazards, and know the temperature of candles you use, and above all watch your partner. Be safe, sane, and consensual and loving.

Here is a good site to visit if you are interested in making your won candles. They sell the wax by the melting temperature and all of the materials needed to make your own. It is www.genwax.com
