Please keep in mind, I am NOT a pro at this. This is what I’ve found from watching & talking with other people, and trial and error. Read what other people have to say, and DO NOT SKIMP on the safety precautions!!!!
Fire Play
Basically, you are burning the vapour of a chemical (rubbing alcohol), not the chemical itself. The burning of vapour keeps the flames (and the heat) away from the subs body, so that the subs flesh won’t burn.
HAVE a fire extinguisher, buckets of water, and a first aid kit for burns handy. Make sure the phone is within reach, just incase something goes wrong. Your embarrassment in not worth your subs life. Call 911 (or whatever emergency dispatch is in your area) if something does go wrong.
DO NOT
Use oils – very very bad idea. Rubbing alcohol is good.
Leave hair unbound – make sure it is securely tied back and wetted with water. Hair burns very quickly.
Tie a sub to a bed. It is a death trap waiting to happen.
Use locking restraints. I don’t recommend any restraints, especially when you are new.
Play with anything you don’t want to risk burning (ie gentitals, face). I don’t recommend playing with any part of the body that, if burned, will harder to heal (ie shoulders where bra straps are, waist where pants/skirts will rub).
Have the body part being played with facing down – burns with occur as heat rises. If heat is rising towards something, that something is going to burn.
Have overhanging body parts – same reason as above. So, don’t try to play with the area below/under the breasts, especially if the sub is standing.
DO
Make sure your sub isn’t allergic to the chemical you are using. Do a patch test first (rub some of the chemical on a sensitive area (ie forearm, inner wrist) and wait 24 hours to ensure no allergic reaction occurs).
Avoid areas that pool – you are causing a flash of flame, which will burn out before it burns your sub. If you ignite an area that has pooled (ie navel), the alcohol (or whatever you are using) will continue to burn and cause damage.
Start with small areas on large pieces of body (chest for men, belly, back).
Make sure the area is free of all hair.
How To Apply & Play
Use Q-tips to apply the alcohol (assuming you are using it). The cotton on the ends absorbs enough alcohol to cause a small flash. If you really need more, you can always re-dip it. Have a second Q-tip soaking in the alcohol – it will be used to apply the flame later.
Alcohol evapourates quickly, so make sure you have a candle lit before starting. Otherwise the alcohol will have evapourated before you get it lit
To start, take the first Q-tip and press it against an area of flat skin, which will squeeze out some of the alcohol.
Return that Q-tip to the alcohol and take the second Q-tip – make sure it’s not dripping! Hold it in the candle's flame - it should catch very quickly. Now move it to the spot of alcohol. Very quickly, tap it against the area where you applied alcohol with the first Q-tip and pull it away. There should be a quick flash before the alcohol burns itself out.
As soon as you are done, extinguish the second Q-tip (I’d recommend leaving it in a small bowl of water, just as you’d do with a match). DO NOT put it back in the alcohol - it may not be burning but it may still be hot and you really do not want to cause a large fire.
If the spot burns for even a second, swipe your hand over it. It will not burn you but it will extinguish the flame instantly. If the spot does not burn at all, that is probably because you took too long and the alcohol evaporated - try repeating a little faster. If it still doesn’t work, use a little more alcohol.
I hope this has answered some of your questions.
