Try not to burn your bedroom down.
Every now and again someone will come in here all excited about the prospect of using hot wax in their sex play. Vunderbar! What a great idea. Something new and exciting for them that consumes a product. Yes, please.
Unfortunately, in many cases, their contemplations have gone no further than dribbling candle wax down the flushed, naked skin of their lover. I'm confident that many couples with the sudden inspiration for an edgy variation on their lecherous romps have hared off to fetch a taper or votive from their night stand and promptly drizzled molten Armageddon on their unsuspecting playmate.
People seem to forget a key concept; melting temperature.
The average household candle is created of high temperature wax. Often melting at approximately 65 degrees centigrade, which is pretty damned toasty, especially given how wax tends to cling to skin and insulate itself a bit while it cools. However most commercial candles also have a microcrystalline wax hardener, used to extend candle burn life, which ups the melting temperature a bit, potentially doubling it.
Candles marketed toward bedroom antics are made of wax with a lower melting temperature. Somewhere between 55 and 60 degrees, which reduces the risk of burns.
Best bet, if you want to douse your lover with hot wax. Do some homework and make sure of your wax. And unless you're familiar with a particular candle brand and your lover's tolerances, start slow on less vulnerable areas and give the dribbles more time to cool in the air before hitting skin. You can always adjust to more intensity, starting too intense will usually end your plans abruptly.

I wondered if there was 'adult' candlewax, very informative, ta
Yeah, I remember one unfortunate incident involving a nickel-sized burn on a partner's chest...trial-and-error sex games is not generally such a smart idea.
That is so hot!
