Violet Ray. (See Violet wand)

Violet Wand. An electrical device similar to decorative lightning plasma globes,

but with an elongated wand-like shape, that is specifically produced for BDSM

sensation and electrical play. As is the case with many BDSM-related toys, the

violet wand looks a lot scarier than it really is, and therein lies its attraction. The

artificial lightning electrical display delivers a tingling or ticklish sensation to

the skin or any erogenous zone it touches, and the intensity can usually be

adjusted from a mild tickle to intense pain. Most violet wands allow for a wide

selection of interchangeable electrode attachments which are designed for

specific purposes or sensations. At the highest settings and if left in place long

enough a violet wand can actually burn or brand the skin. When first

popularized in the 1920s as quack medical devices, they were called violet rays.

use of high-pressure hoses in combination with prison play, the use of extremely

hot or cold water for sensation play, or the use of highly focused needle-like

streams of water from a device like a Waterpik for stimulation or torture of

sensitive areas. (See also: Prison fantasy, Sensation play, Torture)

Wax Play. Wax play generally consists of dripping or pouring molten candle

wax onto someone’s skin to produce erotic sensations, for aesthetic purposes, or

both. The types of candle wax used for erotic wax play typically fall into two

categories: paraffin (a man-made, petroleum-based compound) and beeswax

(which is secreted by the wax glands of worker bees). There are many other

varieties of wax that can be used, but they all generally fall into these two

categories, differing only in the various additives that are combined with the

waxes to change its properties, such as its burn characteristics, melting point,

plasticity, or effects upon the skin. (See also: Chapter 9 - BDSM Toys and

Weights. Weights are sometimes used in various types of BDSM scenes or play

to add stress, discomfort or pain as needed. Weights are most commonly used in
