Sir Malo's Notes:
FirePlay is clearly not a beginner's adventure. It falls into the realm of Edge Play. This meaning it is something to learn from one who has demonstrated experience with the materials. Just the nature of some of this play and a single wrong move or position can create a dangerous if not tragic outcome.It is wise to have a second person standing by to do Fire extinguishing so the Dom can stay focused on the submissive care should things get unwieldy.

Reading about this is a beginning. But learning first hand from a Master and gaining many hours of practice with the materials, are prerequisites to any play with people. This page is from a handout of a demonstration that was done in 1999 in a local class in Houston. The "Playtime" portion of this outline was a live demonstration.. BTW: I allowed Sir Coll to demonstrate some flash cotton on me at the time. An interesting experience. In Dallas Texas I trust A skilled Dominant, XMentor with my girls.. He does fire and cupping well and teaches too.

Terms Used In Fire Play

Baton: A wooden rod, with cotton batting on the end used to light an area or hold a flammable liquid. Also called a torch.

Bouncing: The act of striking a lighted torch against an object depositing a small amount of the flammable substance on the object being struck.

Cupping: An ancient form of massage. Using a vacuum, the skin is drawn up into a vessel and thereby stretched and massaged.

Flash Cotton: A magicians trick using very flammable cotton. Burns very quickly, very intensely, and completely.

Leather Rounds: Round pieces of leather used for various purposes.

Streaking: Using an unlit torch to deposit flammable liquid on an object and then lighting it.

Torch: A rod with cotton batting on the end, made be made of any non-conductive substance. Used to hold the flammable as it is lit.

Vessel: A glass jar, heat resistant and not easily broken or cracked. Should be clear or lightly colored.

 

Styles of Play

Cupping: A leather round is placed on the area of skin to be cupped. A loose area works best with least bruising but the sensation is more intense with tighter skin. A cotton ball soaked in isopropyl alcohol, 70% is best, is placed on the round and then lit.

 

Once the alcohol is burning fully, a glass vessel is placed over it quickly. Delay in placement can cause the edge of the vessel to become hot and then burn the skin. Once the vessel is placed, the flame will use up the oxygen and cause the skin to rise to replace it. The intensity of the sensation is dependent on the type of alcohol used, the shape of the vessel; one that begins small and gets bigger inside is most intense, and the duration it is left on. The vessel is removed by gently releasing the pressure with a finger tip on the edge of the vessel and allowing air inside.

Streaking: Using two torches held in the same hand, one lit, one unlit, a line of alcohol is laid down on the skin. This is then allowed to sit for a moment and begin to evaporate, then it is lit. It is allowed to burn dependent on the amount that was laid down; more can burn longer, and the response of the submissive. It is extinguished using the hand not holding the torches. Should the hand catch on fire, simply smoother it in the fire blanket or if only a small amount, wave it quickly and it will go out Be certain to keep the lit torch as the upper one while you are holding them or else you may end up with TWO LIT TORCHES.

Bouncing: Using a lit torch, the skin is struck sharply with the torch, causing alcohol to be deposited and lit at the same time. This should not be left on very long as the alcohol is very thin and burns the skin very easily.

Flash Cotton: Cotton used by magician to make large flashes. It must be pulled out to a thin "haze" in order to be used on the skin. It makes very spectacular displays and can be used to make designs. It can also be used to burn the skin in patterns. Using previously pulled out cotton, lay it gently on the skin, DO NOT press it down as this can cause a burn, and light on end. The fire will travel to the other end. You can make spirals or any design. Most effective in a darkened room, hence the term "flash"
cotton.

Safety Preparation

Please note:

You will be setting a Human Being on fire.

This is an inherently dangerous practice and SHOULD BE PRACTICED MANY MANY TIMES on glass tables tops and other non-flammable objects before being considered for actual practice. Both the Dom and the submissive you see performing here today have practiced Their/their techniques, yes the Dom has required the submissive practice doing this also, for a long time before doing it even on themselves and only after this did they do it on each Other/other.

Safety Materials

Alcohol Type: Use only 50% or 70% alcohol. 70% is more difficult to control and burns hotter.

Drop Cloth: Use a Fire Retardant drop cloth to cover the table or floor that the submissive will be laid on. This helps keep the fire from spreading should an accident occur.

Fire Blanket: Used to smoother the fire, any large, cloth item such as a large bath towel will work, but it MUST BE COMPLETELY INTACT. Any hole or weak spot in it could allow air to the flames.

Fire Bucket: ---------------------\
Fire Extinguisher: -------------- any or all of these should be available. But at least one.
Water Reserve: ------------------/

 

Area Preparation

Drop Cloth: Lay out the drop cloth to cover any flammable surface within reach of the fire.

Layout: The fire blanket should be laid so that it can, in one smooth motion, be pulled to cover the submissive to the greatest extent possible. This allows for easy smothering of the flame.

Minimum Materials: Fire Blanket, Drop Cloth, Torches, Extinguisher, Alcohol, Cupping vessels, Leather rounds, Cotton balls, Flash cotton, Submissive that enjoys extreme sensation, Dom/Domme that enjoys giving extreme sensations.

Making of Toys

Torches: The torches are made using a wooden doweling rod, this is slipped or hammered into a copper coupling for strength and fire retardant. It is then wrapped with cotton batting and secured with cotton string. YOU MUST USE 100% COTTON STRING or else your torch may fail with disastrous results. The batting should just cover the coupling. The other end may be wrapped in "vet wrap" or some other tape in order to assist in gripping the torch.

(Demonstration)

Flash Cotton
Pullout: Flash cotton must be pulled out very thin in ALL directions before use. This helps prevent extreme temperatures which can easily burn skin.

(Demonstration)

Clean-up

Reuse of materials: Unused alcohol should be poured back into the bottle. The used torches should be air dried. If this is not possible, put them in baggies and air dry them at home, but be warned you are making a possible bomb when you do this so DO NOT COMPLETELY CLOSE THE BAGGIE. Take them out immediately after returning home and air dry them away from flame. The leather rounds should be air dried and the used cotton balls thrown away or if possible, allowed to burn out then thrown away.

Storage of materials

Store all glass in a way that it will not be impacted. All glassware should be inspected before each use by both the Dom/Domme and the submissive. Toys and all flammables should be stored away from ignition sources.
