This sadistic treatment, for males only, started with being placed prone on a treatment cot while wearing only a cotton sheet, except for a paper diaper over my privates. The sheet covered me from neck to toes. The attendant poured warm wax over me until I was covered with about an inch of the stuff. As the wax dried, I felt like it weighed a ton. Encased in my hard wax shell, moving any part of myself became impossible. When my wax shell cemented in place, I felt like a stranded turtle on its back. The attendant covered me with a linen sheet, a rubber sheet and three or four blankets. Telling me "relax and enjoy", he would leave me there for a good half hour or more, a perspiring victim, unable to move. The torture supposedly reduced fat and sweated out toxins.
