Why does soaking candles in salt water make them dripless? Does anyone know a scientific reason?

I read about this online and have tried it twice. Both times it worked beautifully, and the salted candles burned a couple hours longer than the unsalted candles. I've used the method on cheap dollar store candles. What does the salt do to the candles to change the way they burn?

What is the sexual sensation with candles and candle wax?

What do ppl do with candles when they are intimate with one another? I hear stories about the candle wax and getting sensation from it while someone is climaxing.

What do they do? Pour hot wax on their actual thing? Wouldnt that burn it? I'm scared to try! Pls advise, sexually experienced ppl!

Are scented candles okay, or can the fumes interfere with respiratory health, allergies/asthma?

I'm wondering basically if I should ditch my scented candles or not. Will they take away from the air quality and make allergies/asthma worse, or basically does it have no effect?

Is there such a thing as NATURALLY scented candles?

I am looking for candles that are made with natural scents, like lavender oil, etc, that are not scented artificially. I know that soy and beeswax candles are natural pertaining to the wax portion, but I am hoping to find some candles that are also scented naturally. Does anyone have any suggestions?

How do I make candles out of crayons and bits of scented wax?

I am making candles for the holiday, but all i have are crayons, and these scented bits of wax. I was asking if anybody knew how to make candles out of crayons and wax without having the trouble of going to the hobby store. I was thinking about using a mug as a mold, but I don't know if that is any good. I don't know how to melt the wax though, but I already have the wicks. Anybody know what to do?
