YOu just came from Ms. Becky’s Post where she was gifted a tiny man now you can continue with my fun blog

One thing I always loved about Hanukkah was how there always seemed to be extra Hanukkah candles lying around. That makes for some fantastic wax play during the holidays!

NOTE: All of this is at your own risk, just like all BDSM play is.

Play with people you implicitly trust.

Practice consensuality.

Make sure safety measures are in place.

Then, Have Fun!

What is Wax Play?

Ahhh, so you might not be in the BDSM community or you might be in the sissy space and not have heard of things such as playing with wax. Or maybe you have done wax play, but haven’t in a long time. It’s time to revive the tradition and what better way than during Hanukkah.

The easiest explanation is: Light a candle, let the wax melt a little, then pour the hot wax on a loved on or play partner. But there is more to it than that. A lot more.

• Jewish rules about using Hanukkah candles (for BDSM play): The candles you put in the menorah, once lit, are sacred and you cannot use them for BDSM play. (This is because the “Hanerot Halalu” states “these lights are sacred, and we are not permitted to make use of them, but only to look at them, in order to offer thanks and praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, for Your wonders and for Your salvations” [emphasis mine]). However, if you use them out of the box before they touch the menorah, you are good to go. The shamash candle, however, is a candle that serves and is to be used, whether that is to light the menorah candles, as a light to read by, or please your lover by dripping its wax on her nipples.
• Stay Sober When Doing Wax Play: This probably goes without saying, but keeping your wits about you when you are  lighting candles and using hot wax on another person (or yourself, for that matter) is just a routine safety measure. 
• Kinds of Candles to Use: You must be choosy in the candles you use for Hanukkah wax play. If the candle burns too hot, then you can burn the skin. And burns hurt and can get infected if they cause blisters that can break. Therefore, great candles are soy and paraffin. Do not use tealights, beeswax candles, or your standard great smelling candles sold commercially. Make sure if you get Hanukkah candles, they are soy or paraffin.
• How Long to Burn the Candle: If you’re going to drip the candle on your play partner, melt it, keeping wet cloths that you can throw away close by. Be wary of using paper towels (they can catch fire easily) unless they are wet, which then become good to hold the candle with. Melt the candle a little and do a test drip on the paper towel or cloth to see how much a drop or a dribble is. Then when you feel you have enough melted wax in the candle top, have a wonderful time!
• Hanukkah Candle Wax on the Body: As you can imagine, pulling the dried wax off can be deliciously fun. Unless there is a lot of hair underneath it. If there is, that brings on a whole different aspect of BDSM wax play. If you don’t want to be waxed of your hair, or your play partner does not, then shave a couple of days before the session. Try not to shave that same day and especially not right before because the skin is way too sensitive and, when it might not have burned if you shaved 2 days earlier, it could be burned the same day. If your wax play is impromptu and you have the dried wax on a patch of hair, do not just rip it off like the scene in 40-Year Old Virgin. Do it slowly and kindly. Well, unless you are into a lot of hair ripping pain. If so, go for it.
• Watch Out for Burns!: I am one to always test something new on myself before I do it to anyone else. Whether that is being bound, flogged, or dripping wax on someone. I encourage a test drip or two on the back of your hand or your forearm to see what it feels like. Empathy with your submissive is a beautiful thing. Before you even begin, please have a supply of burn treatments nearby. Google to find out the First Aid supplies for burns. Also keep a phone close to you in case there is a fire so you can call 911. Even if it is a small fire, call so the fire department will come. If you get the fire out before they get there, that’s cool. Let them in to check and make sure all sparks are out. They have seen everything and wax play is a fairly common fire call. Don’t be too shy to call for help.
• Spilling Candle Wax onto Your Floor or Carpet:

1. Floor: The very first thing I am telling you is to look up your own floor’s instructions for removing wax. What I am sharing here is from the Internet, so it is not perfect. When in doubt, check it out. a) To get wax off a floor, allow the wax to get completely cold and hard. b) Use a credit card or a plastic scraper (like an ice scraper) to get off as much wax as possible. c) With whatever is left, you can lay down a standard brown paper bag or a cloth you don’t mind tossing, onto the wax area. d) Use an iron, without steam, on low, and “iron” the bag or the cloth. Amazingly, the wax transfers onto whatever you laid on there. e) Keep doing that until all the wax is gone!
2. Carpet: The very first thing I am telling you is to look up your own carpet’s instructions for removing wax. Again, what I am sharing is from the Internet. When in doubt, search for yourself. a) Let the wax get cold and hard. b) Use a butter knife to get as much scraped off as possible. c) Put a clean cloth you don’t mind throwing away or a regular brown paper bag on top of the dried wax. d) Use a warm iron with no steam and iron the bag or cloth on top of the wax. e) The wax goes from the carpet to the cloth or bag and voila! You have a clean carpet. f) If you have colored carpet, you have to learn how to do that yourself, sorry. Too complicated for me to explain to make sure you don’t discolor your lovely rug.

Where Should I Drip the Wax?

That really is up to you and your partner. It all depends on how much pain you are willing to give and them to endure. People have used wax everywhere. From back, legs, and nipples, to dicks, vulvas, butts… and other more intimate places. Test things out and see how much you and your partners can tolerate. Green means go. Red is Stop. Yellow means slow down. Listen to the safe word!

Have a fantastic time and let me know in the comments if you have, or want to, play with wax.
Would you be the bottom (submissive) or Top (Dominant)?
I actually love being both!
