Introduction
Candles have been used for centuries as a tool to create an intimate and romantic atmosphere during love making. It is believed that the use of candles dates back to Medieval Europe or earlier, where their soft light set the mood for lovers as they shared a night of passion and pleasure. Candles were also popular in Asian houses of pleasure during this time, where patrons enjoyed the arousing intimacy found in candlelight. Ancient Roman texts on sexuality mention the use of candlelight to create just the right ambiance for such activities, illustrating its long history and widespread popularity.
The flickering, shadow-casting light of the candle provides an enchanting setting for couples to explore their desires while also infusing romance into their experience. Beyond its primary purpose of providing light, candles are an important symbol of warmth and physical intimacy, making them both seductive and inviting. And thanks to advances in candle-making technologies, coupled with a resurgence in its popularity today, passionate lights can be purchased in a practically infinite array of shapes, sizes and scents!
Benefits of Candlelight
The soft glow of candlelight can be very romantic and help set the mood for love making. Candles can help establish a sense of intimacy and provide a unique atmosphere which helps to relax and focus on the moment. Lighting candles around your bedroom or in any other location where you plan to have physical relations will create a cozy, warm ambience. You may also want to add some incense such as sandalwood, lavender, or jasmine which is known to have aphrodisiac properties that can enhance libido and increase arousal. To further improve the effects of candlelight, turn off any bright lights or loud electronics. Instead consider using low voltage lamps or dimmer switches with soft music playing in the background. This combination of gentle light, scent, and sound has been proven to stimulate both men and women’s senses leading toward feelings of pleasure and desire.
Types of Candles
When it comes to setting the mood for love making, candles are one of the best tools at your disposal. The right candle can provide a beautiful and calming atmosphere, as well as creating an intimate and romantic ambiance.
There are several types of candles to choose from when it comes to setting the mood. Wax based candles come in many shapes and sizes ” including pillars, votives, tapers, and containers – that can provide hours of light and warmth. Oil based candles offer similar advantages, but generally don’t last as long as wax based varieties. Wax melts are also very popular due to their easy lighting and customizable scents. Flameless candles, or “fan-free” flameless scented tea lights or aroma diffusers allow you to enjoy the same warm lighting effect without having to worry about an open flame. Many flameless candles now even come with integrated timers so you won’t have to worry about forgetting to turn them off.
Whatever type of candle you choose, remember that it should be both pleasant looking and pleasant smelling in order to create the most relaxing atmosphere possible.

Safety Tips for Candle Usage
Candles can be a romantic and ambient addition to any romantic evening, providing a sense of warmth and intimacy. However, for the best experience, you should always use these items safely. Here are some safety tips to ensure that candles enhance your love making experience:
1. Do not place candles near combustible materials. This means anything that catches fire easily such as paper or fabrics. Flammable materials should also be kept away from the area around the candles. Choose an open space where it’s easy to monitor the burning flames, where they can’t reach anything that could start a fire.
2. Place candles on a flat and level surface, such as a table or countertop over which there is nothing hanging or burning nearby. When placing them, it’s important to pick an area which provides plenty of ventilation for the candles too and make sure there are no flammable objects close by that could be knocked into them.
3. Extinguish all candles before leaving the room! Whenever unattended, remember to use tongs or mitts when handling any hot wax and flame-related materials, such as lighters and matches once you have finished setting up for your candlelit encounter with your partner(s). Ultimately it’s safest to blow out the flames just before retiring from the room so there is no risk of them reigniting on their own.
