Fire play in BDSM involves incorporating fire and flames into erotic or kinky activities. It can encompass a variety of techniques, such as playing with candle wax, using fire in sensation play, or even creating controlled burns on the skin.
What is Fire Play in BDSM?
Things literally get hot because you need fire and flame for this type of BDSM game. Fire Play can include playing with candle wax and candle flame through body fire or contact fire. It can either be about the heat and skin contact with the flame or just the pure evocation of excitement and adrenaline. The practice is part of edgeplay, a collective term for games with danger and fear.
Since Fire Play is an extremely dangerous game that can result in burns or injuries, it is important to be fully educated beforehand. It’s a type of game that is definitely not for beginners.
What's the Appeal of Fire Play?
Fire is a primal fascination for humans. It stands for power, danger, and threat and is one of those things that can be perceived with all of the senses. Fire creates fear, fascination, and excitement. It’s not for nothing that they say: “Don’t play with fire.” Or maybe it is. Everyone has been burned and knows the hot feeling on their skin. However, Fire Play in BDSM is not so much about the burning or the pain but more about the sensations: the heat against the skin, the cold afterward, the smell of fire, and burnt hair. The uncertainty is both exciting and frightening.
Fire is often associated with something forbidden. Throughout your life, you are warned about fire, about fires, about injuries, about loss. As is so often the case in BDSM, this taboo is what makes it so appealing. In addition, the game gives the cathedral ultimate power. The possibility of permanent injury is a clear trigger for anxiety and adrenaline for many people. A fascinating mix of feelings.
The physical sensations of Fire Play can also be appealing. Fire is bright, hot, and biting. It can provide everything from pleasant warmth to painful burns. Fire can be tasted, smelled, heard, seen, and felt. It can be used to draw marks across the skin or set it on fire. If you play with sensory deprivation at the same time, for example by restricting your vision, hearing, or movement, this game can be intensified infinitely. This creates an additional form of mind play, playing with the senses and consciousness.
What Types of Fire Play Are There?
Fire Play can work in many ways that vary in intensity. Note again: This type of game is not for beginners, and you should definitely take a course beforehand. In addition, Fire Play is only possible to a very limited extent in closed rooms.
Bouncing/Streaking – Body fire and contact fire
The two most common techniques are body fire and contact fire. This usually happens with special torches. Their rods are usually made of aluminum, and the heads are made of a special wick material, usually Kevlar or fabric. To do this, you need fuel, such as isopropanol, lighter fluid, fakir gasoline, or benzine. It is important that the torch serves as a wick, but only the flammable liquid burns. The torch itself should not burn.
In contact fire, the torch is hit against the skin or dragged along it. Although the body hair often burns off, there is no transfer of fire to the skin. So, this is not violated. Another form of contact fire would be striking with a paddle or whip, which itself serves as a wick. Be careful; this technique can also cause burns if you stay in one place for too long.
Body fire, on the other hand, involves working with the liquid on the skin. There are different forms here. One is to move the burning torch over the skin, for example, along the arms. A trail of fire is drawn across the skin. Another way is to drip traces of gasoline over the skin and then light it. Here too, only the liquid and at most the body hair can and should burn off, and under no circumstances the skin. With this technique, you can feel the flames more clearly. The difference to contact fire lies in whether the skin is used as a burning surface or whether it only comes into secondary contact with the wick.
Pyrowatte
Pyrowatte is best known from magic tricks in which something suddenly bursts into flames and burns in a bright flame. It burns without leaving any residue, which means that nothing remains after the flame. Pyrowatte is therefore also often used to ignite flash or smoke powder. In shows, for example, it is used for effects such as “firebolt from the hand,” fireballs, clouds of flames, and jet flames. It is simply placed on the skin and then lit. The cotton burns bright and hot but in just a few seconds and therefore has a huge scare factor but without causing burns. Pyrowatte creates a bright flame that plays into the fear play.
Cellpopping
Cellpopping is not exactly Fire Play, as it does not require an open flame. However, it is included because it involves high heat. This involves heating a needle strongly and holding it against the first layer of skin. This creates superficial branding that leaves temporary traces. Although these heal quite quickly, this form of marking should still be discussed in detail.
Fire cupping
Cupping is now even a popular wellness application. Here, glass balls, so-called cups, are placed on the skin, and a vacuum is created, which is intended to promote blood circulation in the skin and relieve tension. Either by a pump or, as in this case, by fire. In this method, the air in a glass is first heated with a torch and then pressed against the skin. The cold outside air, which cools the warm air in the glass, creates a negative pressure that tightens the skin. Here you can vary both the heat within the cup and the strength of the pressure. This is also known through “cupping.”
As already mentioned before, the skin is sometimes wetted with flammable liquids. This is also the case with a variant of cupping in which such a liquid is ignited on the skin, and the cup is then placed over it. With this technique, the Bottom experiences many different sensations, from the hot, short burn of the flame to the long-lasting warmth of the trapped heat. The technique can also be modified so that the inside of the cup is coated with the liquid and ignited and then pressed against the skin while still burning. Due to the lack of oxygen, the fire goes out directly on the body.
Other variants
Strictly speaking, Branding, Cigar Service, and Human Ashtray could also be counted as Fire Play. The difference, however, is that these types of games focus on other elements and triggers for feelings rather than the fire itself.

What You Need to Consider With Fire Play
Playing safely with fire
As already said, when it comes to Fire Play, it is very important to train yourself beforehand through tutorials, workshops, and together with and on your bottom. The areas with particularly sensitive skin should also be known. This primarily includes mucous membranes. The big no-go zones are the face, neck, intimate area, inside of the forearms, back of the knees, and Achilles tendons. Basic anatomical knowledge is, therefore, a prerequisite.
Prepare session
When it comes to clothing, you should definitely choose cotton clothing, as synthetic materials can melt and cause serious injuries. Tie long hair up and avoid metal jewelry, which can heat up. An environment with enough space and no flammable materials such as curtains, books, or plants is important. If you play outside, you shouldn’t stand in a dry field.
Provides extinguishing media
A bucket of water to extinguish the torch A wet towel is useful for most jumping flames A fire blanket is the right choice for your body A fire extinguisher for larger flames
Store fuel safely
It is also important to clearly mark flammable liquids and store them in containers that can withstand most corrosive components. In addition, excessive amounts of liquids should never be used to reduce the risk if they catch fire. Instead, it is better to refill as needed. The opening of the container should also be large enough to allow a torch to be inserted and removed without knocking or moving the container. Empty containers must also be cleaned thoroughly and correctly.
Aftercare
For aftercare of the skin, plasters, ice packs, gauze, and cloths should be ready. A wound cream or burn ointment can also help any marks fade and heal more quickly. It is also important that the Bottom sees the tracks before bandaging so that he/she can realize that no damage has been done and that he or she is now safe.
