[edit] Melting point of wax & safety
I removed the huge information about melting points of wax and safety precautions. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 18:06, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)

- Well, it is kinda scattershot and poorly written. I've tried to tighten it up a bit, but it reads like a very generic CYA disclaimer, making it sound like wax play is as dangerous as bungee jumping---which, honestly, it's not. A modicum of caution is enough to prevent all but the mildest of burns. Yes, you can splatter wax in your eyes, but it's not very likely. It's like having a notice at the trousers page declaring that "genitals may become entangled in zipper. always use caution when fastening pants". It's techincally right, but it's insulting. There's important safety information to be had, but including an inventory of possible unlikely disasters dilutes the import of the truly important information. grendel|khan 09:59, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)
[edit] Lacking information
Things I was hoping to read about in this article but found no mention of: What sort of people indulge in wax play; how many people are known to partake; the history of wax play; Examples from literature, film etc; what the enjoyment is; is it legal; and so on. As it is the article is all warning and no substance. Nice picture though. --Monk Bretton 17:08, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Then add it quixZAS
- I doubt that statistical information would be anything more than a pulled-from-one's-ass guess. It's better than it once was, but there's still a significant stigma against perverts in most places. I'd suggest looking at the s.s.b-b archives for some anecdotal evidence. The web, I think, will be less helpful. (As of right now, this page is the third result on Google for "wax play".)
- From personal experience, I can tell you that wax play, at least when I've done it on someone, is a slow, meditative process. A whole bunch of candles are lit, the sub gets a warm baby-oil massage (so as to facilitate the removal of the wax, that is.) The wax is slowly layered on, starting with lighter (cooler) colors. It makes a sort of warm, cuddled sensation. Eventually, the wax is taken off with a (hopefully expired) credit card. (For extra fun, you wave a knife at the sub and sound all mean, then use the card.)
