I wouldn't worry so much about the floors. Any wax that ends up on the floors should be solid already so it getting stuck to the hardwood would probably only be from you stepping on it bare foot and your body heat remelting it.
Also a dustpan wouldn't be a bad idea to keep by the bed for wax play. Last thing you would want to do is gum up a Dyson or something with wax.
"...even after butter knifing the wax off"
I do wax play differently, so have nothing to say about that, but to get wax off floors or pretty much anything else, you just need brown paper bags and a warm iron.
Thanks for that reply Namaah!!
That's a great idea with the dollar store shower curtain and cheap sheet! We were just going to get a $20 comforter from walmart and just use it for wax play so that we wouldn't care what happens to it but the curtain/sheet idea works to.
Problem we have is that all of our floors are hardwood. So if we do drip wax on them, I'd worry that it would screw up the polyurethane and leave drip marks even after butter knifing the wax off the floor. Only solution I can see if putting down a tarp under the bed and I'd think that would make it look like a scene from Dexter.
People... questions are what is supposed to happen. We want our peers to ask questions. As for progression, does it matter that someone goes from feathers to e-stim? Are they being safe? Are they being sane? are they consenting to it? If the answers are yes yes and yes, let them ask questions and don't judge. All of us were new at some point.
As for the OP question... the waxplay itself... if you have the means to use a waterbath or wax warmers, it makes it easier to use without bringing fire to the bedroom. You want to pour from high. The wax will cool as it falls to the skin. If you pour to low the wax remains at melting point on the skin for a longer period of time.
things you might want, dollar store shower curtain, dollar store sheets. the wax will ruin good sheets. if you get dollar store, you can wrap the whole thing up and throw it out. You might want a dull knife. "shaving" the wax off is a nice addition to sensation play. I say dull because you don't want to have an accident with the knife while removing wax. Not to say anything about cutting or blood play, if you do accidentally cut, odds are you are going to get wax into the cut. also dependings on the bottoms skin sensitivity, some aloe for after. maybe keep it in the fridge, you can turn skin care into tempiture play going from hot to cold.
Just thoughts. If you had more specific questions, feel free to ask.
I don't really view using candles as particularly wild or something to be concerned about. Heck that's a go to when movies want to show someone is kinky.
Single- you were initially not wrong in your last post, now you are with the assumptions you are making. We've never spoken individually, but had we prior to you talking about your spidey sense, I'm pretty confident you'd have no issue and would totally understand where I'm coming from as well as the pace we're progressing at (or at least talking about). But at this point, you are wrong. No books being written, no dungeons being built and you're also not considering any other possibilities. Just send me a PM and I'll be glad to share and clarify what is clearly concerning to you. If you would rather just refrain from sharing advice/experience, that is certainly ok as well.
However, your concerns about ulterior motives aside....what exactly is concerning about Joe and Jane Lifestyle building a collection of impact tools, buying a set of cuffs, testing out blindfolds, and wanting to try UV wax play? Is there some set of rules that establishes time frames for when someone is ready to move from one aspect of BDSM to another?
It could me just sub/Dom frenzy.... which can be very dangerous for all involved.
RK- I could, but no.
Single- You're not wrong, it is indeed an extremely fast progression from where we were two months ago. On the subject of candles, I'm going to be picking up a variety pack of UV reactive paraffin candles, blacklight, and cheap comforter. So for the crescendo of a hosting, it might involve some really fun wax play right before hopping in the shower at the end of the night. Just keeping options open at this point. As for watersports, I always took that to mean urine. If so, nosir.
Going to be ordering some candles. Aside from size, they all seem to be low temp. Anything else specific to look for?
Thinking of doing some restrained/blindfolded sensation play with ice cubes, wartenberg, candle/wax, tongues, feathers and e-stim. But to be honest, haven't bought the candles before so I wanted to make sure I grab good ones.
Also, we have a waterproof blanket and a waterproof mattress cover. However, other than a tarp, what is going to be good to lay someone on top of that won't be as awkward/uncomfortable as a tarp? Don't want the wax to penetrate whatever and ruin anything, but want the person to be comfortable as well. Thoughts? Thanks!
