Our First Wax Play (with pictures, of course!)

Last night was our first wax play. Oh my God, it was amazing!

After a relaxing day off and a trip to the strip club, we came home, made the bedroom warm, put down a blanket we didn’t mind getting wax on, and broke out our special candles. We got a set of six colored candles from somebody in our local scene that’s experimented with wax play for years. I’m glad we went with an expert for the candles.*

We decided to start on the front half of my body. That gave me more of a sense of control. I also told Gabe when to start dripping and when I needed him to stop (Gabe blew the candle out each time he stopped**). We started on the front of my thighs, then slowly began moving up to my belly, and then my chest and boobs. My mound eventually got in on the action too.*** Gabe experimented with how high to drip from (the greater the height, the cooler the wax when it hits). He also experimented with how quickly or slowly to fill the same spot or move to another one (depending on how loud and/or squirmy he wanted me to be). I also learned some of the subtle and not-so-subtle differences in sensitivity in the areas we played with. Just an inch or two difference in location on my thigh, for example, can make a huge difference in intensity level. Some of the differences I knew, and some didn’t come to light until now.

We started with the blue candle, as you’ll see. We moved on to red, and then to green (which I believe may burn hotter than the others). The sensation is so delightful, and so different than the other kinds of pain we’ve worked with. We typically do impact play. With that, the force of the blow is a major element of the character of the pain. That pain is blunt, vibrational, and it’s raw and specific against my skin. Pain from liquid wax is slithery, writhy, seeping. It starts sharp and seems to soak into me, then slowly fades. It feels like it blossoms just under the skin, setting my nerves ablaze. If the dripping continues unabated, the sharp-soak-fade rhythm multiplies and different drops sing on top of one another. It’s a whole different world of sensation.

The skin that felt wax is highly tender and sensitized afterward, for at least a few hours, though there’s no marks left. This can lead to a prickly, scraping discomfort from the dried wax towards the end of the playing that, while it’s not uncomfortable enough to avoid, I definitely don’t find erotic. This skin tenderness also forced me to don some underwear as I slept, as my trimmed pubic hair kept making contact with a part of my thigh that had felt some wax, and it was literally making my legs jump as I tried to sleep.

Though the wax itself doesn’t leave marks, it’s awfully awfully pretty when it’s still on my skin. Here, we have pictures to prove it!

*There are a lot of elements to a candle that affect sensation and safety concerns, so be very careful when you buy candles for this purpose. This is an issue that really deserves some thoughtful research into your options and purchases. The culmination of our research is as follows: avoid scented candles — perfume raises the temperature of the wax and can easily lead to burns. Your average candles off the shelf at Wal-mart will be unpleasant and dangerous to use. Newbies should find candles made specifically for wax play. 100% soy candles and some seven-day candles may work, once you know what you’re doing.

**The repeated blowing out led to us opening the room so the smoke wouldn’t build up and be bothersome. We found it the best thing to do, however, since our pauses for me to process the pain would have led to an enormous amount of wax pooling in the candle, often directly down the middle of it.

***Any area with significant hair can include some element of discomfort when you’re removing the wax later. Taking the wax off my pussy got downright owie, and I ended up getting in the shower and soaking it in hot water for a while before removing most of the wax. I also learned that the baby fine hair I have most places on my body gets long enough down the midline of my chest to cause some slight discomfort when removing wax (it wasn’t long enough for me to notice before this activity).

    I’ve been dying to experiment with wax play!

    Love the descriptions, and the pictures are beautiful.
