Drops of wax on the skin

It’s common knowledge that the soft light of candles is essential for any romantic dinner… but what fewer people know is that candles can also be used directly in an erotic context to unleash the relation between pain and pleasure. Permit me to offer you a few tips about the use of hot wax on the skin.
One frequent feature of sadomasochistic play is to slowly drip hot candle wax over the skin. This produces several immediate effects: an agreeable sensation of heat in the zone where the wax falls, and a light sensation of pain which is just subtle enough to cause pleasure. Of course, as in all BDSM play, certain basic safety rules must be respected to avoid burns and ensure a good time is had by all. For example, it’s essential to use candles which are not made from beeswax, because it burns hotter than other candles. It is also advisable to use thick candles rather than thin ones.
Other common sense rules: dripping the wax from further away gives it time to cool down as it falls, helping to prevent it from being uncomfortably hot. The ideal is to try dripping the wax from different heights, to enjoy the variety of effects it produces. There are many regions of the body over which hot wax can be dripped, though the erogenous zones are favoured; try dripping over the buttocks, chest, belly, back, thighs and arms. If you have a bit of creativity and fantasy, you can play with the forms and patterns made by using different colours over the skin. This game is not just incredibly exciting, but also undoubtedly aesthetic.
In Barcelona you can find many traditional candle shops to purchase a veritable rainbow of differently scented and shaped candles. Wax is sufficiently malleable as a material that your imagination is the only limit, although curiously, the candles most frequently used during erotic play are the thick, simple tapers associated with religious ceremony. And of course, it’s important to find a place to indulge in these games without being bothered; beginning to use candles in an erotic form in a restaurant would probably raise eyebrows.
The best solution is to go to one of several “BDSM-friendly” locales which are abundant in Barcelona, such as el Nido del Escorpión – www.nidodelescorpion.com - a cultural association where this type of activity is more than welcome. To begin, you only have to rent apartments in Barcelona, and remember to bring your lighter!
