Is It Normal?
What do you think?
I want to light myself on fire
Is it normal to want to set yourself on fire?

How about if you actually do it?

I like to put a few layers of clothes on, douse myself with alcohol, and light up. It feels amazing to be on fire.

What's probably least normal, though, is that right now i'm doused in alcohol, and am going to light myself right now, here goes:

I'm on fire!!!!

i find that tequila works betta. if u still alive what alcohol did u use. oh and methylated spirits is pretty good.
wow, that sounds fun. What happens if the fire burns through too quickly, then what? you better have some water and a fireman handy
can i pee on your corpse when your done?

oh btw

bleach is a very good flammable substance

drink it
if you still alive.. how was it?
die die die die!!! burn mother fucker burn!!!
I'm still alive and well. It was great, i use 99% rubbing alcohol. wearing 3 shirts, i splashed it on my stomach and chest and lit up. I then finished posting (yes, while on fire), leaned back, and burned for a little while more before putting myself out using my hands.

I've been lighting myself on fire for a long time, and it's more fun if i just set myslf alight and once i'm on fire, worry about how i'm going to put it out. I've had fires on me that didn't want to go out before, charcoal lighter fluid soaked pants wouldn't go out with blankets, and had me walking to the other end of the house in flames taller than myself, and getting in the shower. That was really fun, i got some red spots from that one, but no real burns.
Being on fire is fun, just imagine for a minute what it would be like, wearing several shirts, to just lean back douse th front of yourself with alcohol, light it up, and let it burn. You'll feel the heat from the flames at first, a gentle warmth, and watch flames dance around on your body. Relax, and enjoy it, don't freak out, feel it get warmer After 5-10 seconds or so(and 5-10 seconds feels like forever when you're aflame) You're getting warmer, it's hot, but it's not uncomfortable yet. A few more seconds and the outer shirt begins to brown and the fabric catches light, as the alcohol begins to die down some. Now it's getting really hot and you can feel hot spots on your body. Tossing a slightly damp towel over burning body puts out the flames, and leaves you with burned and still smoking clothes, a reminder that just a few seconds ago you were on fire.

Now my question, if you knew you could light yourself on fire and not be hurt, would you do it?
YEAH RIGHT thats not normal man id do it if i was getting paid.I once knew a fella who lit his right testical on fire for a missly $15. btw he's dead now he thought he could fly if he had 2 home made wings made out of feathers or some shit.
I'm not!!!!
If I could light myself on fire and KNOW that I wasn't going to be harmed - hell yea! Fire is another one of those mysterious beings that man has tried and tried to harness. And failed, miserably. Fire is destructive, yet beautiful.

Be very careful with yourself - try setting other things on fire (but not your house). I fear you may have an episode where you can't put it out, and horrible things will follow.
comment to MYMUNCHKINS. We have only started playing with fire over the last year or so, if you go to the entry FIRE FETISH you will see several comments from infinate and us that may be of interest. I read your entry (re your protective husband), so could I suggest that if you want to try something out that you wear a pair of HEAVY denim shorts either on thair own or with a denim shirt, sprinkle some lighter fluid onto them, light them on fire and let your husband beat them out with his hands. You will be suprised how good you will both feel. Let me know how you get on, B&J.
MYMUNCHKINS Having read what I have just advised you to do and realising that it will be something new to you both I feel that I must give you the following tips

Do not play with fire in the bedroom unless you remove all the soft bedding (quilts ect) from the room.

Cover the matress or whatever you lie on with a heavy towel and keep a second towel to hand in case things need to be put out quickly.

MOST IMPORTANT after you sprinkle the lighter fluid replace the cap and put it out of the way before you light up.

I do not want to put you off but I would hate to suggest anything that could result in any harm to either of you. Always remember that some slight pain is great but you must know when to stop. Our rule is that if any slight burn has not healed within 48 hours we have gone too far, you must set your own limit. B&J.
I'm not setting myself on fire any time soon. I may be 75% water, but that other 25% will burn horribly! :) I'll stick to watching campfires and explosions. Thanks for the input!
That's horrible because what happends if the next time u do it u cant put ur self out and u really do burn!
Then i burn, and i'll enjoy it! The last time i lit myself was just the other day, i sprayed alcohol from my chest to my knees, and around my sides and back. When i lit up, flames spread completely around me, and engulfed from the knees up. After a few seconds the flames died down some and i let what was still on fire continue to burn. Pretty soon the alcohol burned off and the cotton itself was burning and the fire was again growing. I put out a few burning patches on my front, but let my back continue to burn. I stood there and felt the heat climb up my back as the fire climed from my waist up to my shoulders and flames lept up above and around my head. I then put myself outwith stop drop and roll. I've got a few burned spots on my back from it but it was worth it just to stand there in the dark and watch the light and shadows as flames flickered and climbed up my back. I was on fire for a long time, at least 30 seconds, maybe even longer.

Try this, stand still for 30 seconds, and during that time, imagine lighting yourself on fire. Now, stand there and feel the heat, first where the flames rise around you, feel the heat on your face and a warmth through your burning clothes, as you stand there burning.

When you first light up, it's a whoosh of flame as it spreads around your body and engulfs you, flames leaping up above your head. Some flames quickly lick at your face, but you just let the fire touch you and stand there. Soon the flames settle down and burnlow and steady. The flames aren't in your face anymore, and you look down to watch yourself burn. It's getting warmer through your clothes as the fire begins to eat into them. Imagine standing aflame and calmly watching your clothes turn brown, then black, and the flames become orange and steadily grow as the blackened cloth ignites. It's getting hot now, and you can feel spots where the flames are burning through entirely. Still you stand there and watch yourself burn. At the end, you feel a few spots where there's sharp pain as the fire eats it's way through the last layers of clothes to your skin. Calmly, you lie own and roll to put yourself out.
That just sounds so sexually gratifying . . . too bad I'm a wuss.
I think you are starting to get the urge!

Regards B&J
Munchkins, until you do it, you'll
never know the feeling, work your way up to it gradually, put a shirt over your hand and light it. Feel how long it takes to get your hand hot, and how the cloth burns. Move on to wearing the shirt, and lighting small areas, start with a patch of fuel the size of a quarter, and slowly work on larger areas as you feel comfortable. You won't get hurt if you keep it small, and keep a heavy towel in one hand at first.

It gets dangerous when you go big. Once I soaked my heavy pants with lots of charcoal lighter fluid. I completely soaked my pants all the way around from waist down and lit my ankles. Flames spewad up my legs and soon I was surrounded and engulfed in bright orange sheets of flame When it started really getting hot, i syopped, dropped, and rolled, but was still in fire. I then tossed a heavy rug over my legs, and waited a bit. Ithought it was out, but when i removed the rug, I burst into flames. I tried the rug a few more tines, but every time i'd remove it i was burning. After quite some time of smothering, waiting, and exploding back into flames I stood back up, walked across the room, out the door, down the hall, still burning with flames touching the ceiling, intot he bathroom, turned on the shower, and finally put myself out. Even in the shower I continued to burn, I'd wet the front while my back burned, turn around and the front would be on fire. The best part is when i couldn't put myself out,then i'm really on fire.

Someday I'll light my entire body from head to toe like that, completely soak myself and light up.

Start small though and work your way up from there
Here's a video of some fun with fire
