Sexuality Happens

If you’re like me (and a fair majority of the human population), you probably LOVE getting massages.  I mean, it’s like oral sex; a completely selfless act from the person giving the massage (unless of course, you’re paying for it, and then it is their job…) and it is wonderful, relaxing and amazing.

Babeland send me a gift pack of their amazing massage oil candles. These candles are brilliant – they are made of soy wax (and 100% vegan!), and they melt at a relatively low temperature, so even if you’re a hot wax newbie, or of a less kinky faction, they’re still quite comfortable.

The gift pack comes with five candles. Each candle provides enough wax for about two massages, for a total of ten massages…two candles are the Rice Flower scent, with one each of Mango Vanilla, Jasmine Ginger and Chocolate Hazelnut.

Q was nice enough to let me try out these massage candles with her. Ok, to be honest, it was one of my less smooth seduction pick up lines. “So, um…I have these massage candles I need to test out so I can review them for my site…um. Can you help me try them out?” (Keep in mind that she then needed to get topless in order for a *good* test of them).  So I am proof, these candles *can* get you laid ;)

Our thoughts on the different scents? She wasn’t the biggest fan of the Jasmine Ginger, but I loved it (two of my favorite scents in one candle!).  On the other hand, she really liked the Mango Vanilla, but I was more ambivalent – it smelled fine, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea. We both really enjoyed the Rice Flower scent…it was a mild scent, very fresh, and not too “girly,” which was important to Q.  As far as the Chocolate Hazelnut one? While it did definitely smell delicious, it wasn’t really a scent I would like on my body, and both of us agreed that it just made us hungry…not sexy at all.

As far as massage oil, it was actually pretty impressive. It wasn’t too oily, it slid around well all over her back (and later, on mine). Half of a candle made for a fairly nice massage, and we even tried mixing the Rice Flower and Mango Vanilla on her back, and that actually smelled pretty fucking awesome as well.

I did find that these candles were not designed for people with long nails — I tried to scratch down her back, and ended up with wax under all of my nails. Oh well…there are worse things in life.

Oh! They also come with matches and some lube…more bang for your buck.

I really liked these candles…I love the temperature play of them, the variety of scents, the vegan aspect, and how they didn’t leave an oily mess. I give them 5 stars, out of 5.  Highly recommended…and Q agrees :)
