wax play

form of temperature play practiced in a BDSM context

Wax play, also known as candle play or wax fetishism, is a type of erotic play involving the use of various types of waxes such as paraffin wax, beeswax, or other organic and synthetic substances that can be melted and cooled to create sensual stimulation. It is commonly practiced within the context of BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Submission, and Masochism) or kink communities, where it often involves applying hot wax to the skin and then allowing it to cool slowly, creating sensations ranging from warmth to discomfort to pain. The experience can be used for both aesthetic purposes and as a form of erotic play or punishment. Safety precautions are paramount when engaging in wax play due to the risk of burns and scarring.
