May - Dear Alice

Dear Alice

Advice from an Irish Mother

Dear Alice,

My new boyfriend likes me to drip hot candle wax all over his genitals before we have sex, and he wants me to let him do it to me. He says it will make our love life much more intense if there’s a little pain involved. I must say that he is much more passionate when I do this to him, but is it dangerous? He is always talking about having kids someday. I don’t want to destroy the factory or mess up my flower, if you know what I mean.

Dear Kimbo,

Well, he’s a dirty boy, isn’t he? Who cares about a romantic candlelit dinner when you can have kinky hot candlewax sex torture? Hey, whatever floats your boat, love. Anything that makes you feel physically better before sex will probably make the sex better. However, there are some things to be aware of – don’t go copying what you see in the movies and start grabbing candles off the dining room table. They are most likely paraffin-based and will burn the balls off him. And I don’t want to imagine what it would do to a woman’s honey pot. Use massage candles. They are specifically designed for wax play. They have a wonderfully alluring scent. That’s aromatherapy. This reduces stress, fights off bacteria, and can even help with menstrual cramps or menopause issues. Your boyfriend sounds a little crazy, Kimbo, but he’s not boring. Goodluck.
