Consent Fairies

[Verse 1]
Another week of grey on the isle of gold
Another fogged up day with no stories told
Suck down the juice of a distant bean
Followed by a capsule of vitamin D
Take a deep breath and count up to three
Then cast out your dragons into the sea

Chip, chip, chip, chipping away
At the marbling life, grow a little each day
Find the feeling and be simply leaning
Into the spinning, it's the only way

[Bridge]
You'd better earth yourself (fully essential) 
Before you hurt yourself (body electrical)
You need to check your health, (care professional)
if you inject yourself, (bare experimental)

[Chorus]
The devil is real proud of what he's achieved
To have turned upside down what folks believe
He said "Fifty percent of your life is free
But the other half's bound to belong to me"
But I said; no mate I disagree,
I know my mind and you don't own me
We must not give in to hate, lies or greed
We only give life force consensually 

[Verse 2]
I signed up for the party with a dirty job
Cleaning the stools in the toilet block
A revealing position behind the scenes
Cleansing the germs with a neat crack team

Catching the flow of a ridiculous beat
We were drawn forwards to move our feet
Moved to the side when the crowd got wild
Saw a mother cradling a tiny child
I thought this is neither the time or the place
To be blasting a baba with a nasty bass
I loudly expressed my bursting distaste
And I left the arena with a bitter haste

[Bridge]
You'd better earth yourself (fully essential) 
Before you hurt yourself (body electrical)
You need to check ya health, (care professional)
if you inject yourself, (bare experimental)

[Chorus]
The devil is real proud of what he's achieved
To have turned upside down what folks believe
He said "Fifty percent of your life is free
But the other half's bound to belong to me"
But I said "no mate I disagree,
I know my mind and you don't own me
I shan't give in to hate, lies or greed
We only give life force consensually"

[Verse 3]
Everything shines on the isle of gold
We've got stacks of cash since days of old
At the end of the year, the sun is low in the sky
As the freeze draws near, it gets tough at night
People out sleeping on sheets of card
Yet there's no offering from those in charge

Take a deep breath and count up to three
They're pinging your cell in an emergency 
What kind of crisis is it gonna be?
Keep you waiting on the mystery
But you'll know when it's happening, guaranteed
It'll be broadcast simultaneously on every TV

Whipping you up, all into a frenzy
You're gonna feel the flavor of the N L P
The dragons aren't dead, but they're not asleep
And they want you out there, counting sheep

[Bridge]
You'd better earth yourself (fully essential) 
Before you hurt yourself (body electrical)
You need to check ya health, (care professional)
if you inject yourself, (bare experimental)

[Chorus]

Kitten's amazing research!


First main point (strongest)
Consent
Wax play will involve the burning sensations, marks on skin and overall heat of the wax depending on the altitude, coloring, type and blend of wax.  Could even be just the scent of the specific candle itself that your partner likes or dislikes.    All these reasons are important why consent is important here specifically, but as we talk about often,  consent is required for anything we do in the lifestyle. 
Example
The Wax & Candles
Types of wax to use,
 Soy candle – Has a melting point of 110F and often used in massage oil candles.  Typically can find these online  between $4 - $15  (This is often the most recommended and used type.)
Shea Butter Candle – Melting point range is between 89F – 100F.  Another wax often used in massage oil candles.  Price range $13 - $30 online.
Parraffin Wax -   Has a melting point around 120F.  Price range online between $5 - $30
Types of wax to avoid.
 Beeswax – Advise not to use this type of wax or candle due to it’s higher melting point between 145F – 170F.  This type of wax is industrial and made to burn hotter and longer then those mentioned above.  Example would be a candle bought from your local retail chain that is scented.
Prep and Setup
Negotiate limits, aftercare and safewords before engaging in play.
Prepare your space for the play to come.
 Dimming of lights, a sexy playlist,  laying a towel or plastic sheet down wear you will be playing,  move flammable items away from the playspace,  have fire safety items near by in case of emergency.
Prepping the body.  
 It is usually advice to shave the area’s where you expect the wax play to happen.  Use body lotion or oil before engaging in wax play to help with wax clean off and potentially avoid skin irritation.
Test the wax from a safe distance on yourself rather then your partner to be sure it is the wax you believe it to be.  
Second main point (second strongest)
Clean up and aftercare
Having an old towel or plastic covering or even sometimes a tarp to make the after play clean up not only safer but much easier as well.
Perhaps taking a shower together after the play to help remove excess wax residue and a way of doing more aftercare together.
Have time set aside for further aftercare if needed.
Pouring and Dripping
What not to do first.  Never pour wax on open wounds and avoid pouring wax above the shoulders.
Distance -  Dripping or pouring further away from the skin allows the wax time to cool and is safer due to that.  Of course, exercise this caution with negotiated pain tolerances and limits to further judge the pouring or dripping distance.
A slow dripping is typically described as a way of building up desire during foreplay for some.  Where pouring on a partner’s back for example, while rubbing their erogenous zone can be at a point of high desire within the scene.   This of course will all depend on you and your partners desires and negotiated pre-play expectations. 
Communication
Communication is key  here much like everything we do in BDSM requires that communication.
Communication does not end once the play starts,  it is maintained throughout the experience and should be spoken about in the pre-play prep as well.   
Be present.  Always be present when playing with your partner, and do not engage in 
wax play if not sober.   As simply being under the influence can greatly change

For over 40 years somatic sex educator Dr. Betty Martin has explored the nuances of consent. In her framework and book, The Wheel of Consent, Dr. Martin traces the fundamental roots of consent back to our childhood conditioning. As children, many are taught that to be “good” we must ignore our body’s discomfort and be compliant.  As adults, this conditioning remains with us until we unlearn it. The implications of this approach to consent education extends beyond touch and intimate relationships. When we forget how to notice what we really want, we lose our inner compass. When we continue to go along with things we don’t feel are right, we lose our ability to speak up against injustice. 
*
In this episode, Dr. Martin is joined by Poarch Creek Two-Spirit Indigiqueer soma-cultural sex therapist, sexuality educator, writer, activist, and musician Dr. Roger Kuhn for an empowering conversation on the psychology of consent. Drawing upon her life’s work and The Wheel of Consent, Dr. Martin shares deeply nuanced ways to practice consent as an agreement that brings integrity, responsibility, and empowerment into human interaction—starting with touch and relationships—and further expanding our understanding of consent to social issues of equality and justice.
