Hot Wax Play with Sire Blue | Sat., March 14, 5 and 6:45 p.m., free, Passional, 704 S. Fifth St., 215-923-1398, passionaltoys.com

While wax play can put a spark into your love life, it shouldn't spark a fire in your house. Sire Blue, who's been experimenting with hot-cast liquids for decades, knows how to prevent erotically induced fires. He's perfected a safe, sensual method of the foreplay (which, if you're not familiar with, involves dripping wax onto a partner). He also crafts his own candles. "I wanted to do things that couldn't be done with the candles available anywhere in the world," he says. "So I make my own."

Sire Blue will show guests how to create a fire-hazard-free environment, which includes a floor tarp, fire extinguisher, knife and willing subject, of course. After mastering the basics, guests will learn wax application techniques and safe, sane playing methods. For example, proper lighting and patience will keep your submissive from receiving less-than-pleasurable burns.

Though he knows that some people cringe at the thought of it, Sire Blue insists that wax play can be stimulating for everyone. "The sensations can be focused on sexual energy, bringing one to a state of ecstasy and near constant pre-orgasmic pleasure," he says. For timid guests, he offers candles that provide cooler-temperature wax play. However, his recommended wax removal — knife play — may require a more daring participant.
