Turn up the heat with this massage oil candle from Dame that has a spout for easy pours, unlike other massage candles that can get messy (or messier than you intended, at least). Not only are massage oil candles sexy, but they stimulate connection through aromatherapy and can even alleviate stress after a long day. You won’t hurt yourself as the candle melts right above body temperature, so it feels warm to the touch rather than scalding hot. The key is to light the wick and allow enough oil to melt into an even layer, approximately 20 minutes. There are three mood-setting aromas (Green Tea, Fig, Cedarwood Virginia), and it’s formulated with moisturizing oils, so your skin will be a lot softer after use.

Don’t be surprised if you get some of the questions totally wrong, laugh uncontrollably, or start tearing up — intimacy can do that!
