Many kinksters find electric play kind of scary. I mean, weren’t we all told as kids not to stick our fingers in the electric socket? Getting a zap from safe sex toys is quite different than that, and can actually be quite titillating. The other thing to note about electric stimulation, is that it’s not all about pain. Depending on the set level, it can be anything from a sensual tingle to a real shock.
One electro toy is called a violet wand. It’s based on a device that was used in the early 1900’s for therapeutic purposes. There are many different types of attachments and settings that can produce sensations from warm and arousing to a little bit “ouchie,” depending on how good your subject has been behaving lately!
There is also something called a TENS unit that is frequently used in electro-play. This is a small box that can be connected to many different types of electrodes for various stimulation. The methods for delivering electricity come in the form of painful nipple clamps, dildos, plugs and even medical looking pads. This technology is also used for medical purposes as a muscle strengthener and for pain relief therapy.
There are also many insertable and vibrating sex toys that have electronic components. There is a wild sex toy out there which looks very innocuous. It appears to be a black Hitachi with strange metal bands around the vibrating head, but, when the Dom presses the right button, it gives the area that was previously receiving pleasure a painful shock, usually putting a stop to any building orgasm.
Before you try electric play, check with your doctor if you have any health problems that may be affected, especially any internal electronic device such as a pacemaker. Make sure you read up about the safety details on any electric play product and speak with experienced BDSM practitioners in your local area or online.
