Erotic Electrostimulation & Other Strange Sexual Hobbies/Fetishes

[guptasa1]

Hey all,

 

Just wondering what fun sexual hobbies/fetishes some of you are into - I think it's fun to share stuff like this on a board that focuses quite a bit on sex.

 

Thought maybe some of you might be curious about erotic electrostimulation, or if you've never heard of it, look at me as if I'm nuts and blink lots. (I am nuts, you know - lol). Anyways, thought I'd share a recent (4 or 5 months) hobby I've gotten into that I'm loving and is a bit unconventional. Feel free to comment or add your own - I'm just going to put some basic information into this and provide links so if you're curious you can check it out on your own.

 

Anyways, along with some more mainstream fetishes (I'm mainly a submissive, so I like kinky stuff like bondage, spanking, tickling, gentle and playful domination, etc., though I haven't done a lot of that stuff yet), I'm into erotic electrostimulation. Basically, it involves wiring oneself up to some sort of power source with electrodes and passing current through one's sex organs for pleasure (and possibly orgasm, though it can take time to learn how to cum from e-stim...took me a few weeks). It probably sounds dangerous, painful, and nuts to most of you, but if done right, it can be safe and EXTREMELY pleasurable and unlike any other form of sexual stimulation I've ever encountered.

 

*OBLIGATORY WARNING* Just so none of you try this without reading a LOT about it first and understanding what you're doing, electricity interactions with the human body can be VERY dangerous and sometimes unpredictable. Some common rules for e-stim are to NEVER practice it above the waist (or submerged in water...or with an enema...you don't want the electricity to arc anywhere NEAR your heart), NEVER use a power source that's powered by your home's electricity (power spikes, etc.), and I don't think I'd recommend e-stim to anyone with any type of heart problem either. It's also not a good idea (though quite honestly I've done it before, albeit carefully) to touch the electrodes while in use without a rubber glove or anything in case power could arc through a path to the heart (though this is highly unlikely). Also, there are no studies confirming prolonged e-stim is safe, but then there are a lot of veterans on a forum I visit who have been doing it for many, many years, and if doing it safely (less so than the current options I might add), have had no permanent negative repurcussions of any type. Personally, I believe it to be fairly safe if done right.

 

As far as power sources, there are several options. The safest and cheapest commercially is probably a TENS unit, which is actually a medical device designed to numb areas in patients. Since it's made for human use, they're very safe, but because of their purpose, they aren't necessarily the best for erotic stimulation - it all depends on the TENS unit - some are quite happy with the power, but different TENS units do differ. There are also made-for-play boxes available that are designed for e-stim specifically, which is what I use, and these are a bit more expensive, but worth it in my mind. Some people also choose to wire themselves up to stereo speakers and use audio files as the stimulation, which can be VERY unsafe unless you REALLY know what you're doing. Some of the made-for-play boxes have built-in-routines as well as jacks for audio input so you can still use audio files with them, but safely.

 

Electrodes vary from conductive rubber penis rings to urethral inserts to metallic ball cups to single-pole and bipolar anal dildos of all sizes (and most work best with conductive lube). Many people make their own electrodes cheaply from Home Depot type stores, but there also excellent commercial manufacturers (though e-stim isn't cheap to initially get everything if you go all commercial). Generally you need two electrodes (unless bipolar) for anything to happen...for example, something at the tip of your cock, and something inside your anus. The electricity flows from one electrode to the other and provides a sensation that's pretty undescribable - it's definitely different than anything else I've ever felt (though if set right, can feel like being literally physically stroked a little bit). Sensation can vary from very subtle feelings to extremely pleasurable ones to painful ones for the BDSM folks (but the great thing is, when the power goes off, the pain is gone with no lasting effects at all).

 

I *love* e-stim because I can just wire up, set up the box to what I want, and then watch porn or read an erotic story and have pleasure for literally hours. I'm normally too impatient to enjoy porn and masturbate (I can't last very long because I get to horny and finish myself off - lol), but with e-stim I find I can really enjoy it and just let the sensations take over. It can literally keep you on the edge for a long time if you want that. It does take a while to learn how to enjoy e-stim (get over the nervousness, let yourself relax, etc.), but once I learned how to cum with it, I can virtually every time I want to, and my sessions can last anywhere from like 20 minutes to a couple hours depending on how much time I have.

 

Anyways, this is a VERY incomplete guide, and if you're interested in trying it, you'll need to do a lot more research (though I'd certainly be glad to answer any questions anyone has that I have the answers to). Here are some links and my comments on them that should give you ALL hte information and more that you want if you ARE interested:

 

http://www.eroticelectrostim.com

- If there's a single site that has ALL the information you'll ever want to know and more about getting into e-stim, safety precautions, etc., how best to enjoy it, free pics and movies of people cumming from it [HOT!], etc., this is it. An awesome forum with some awesome people. I've been fairly active there before.

 

http://www.erostek.com

- Makers of the best e-stim made-for-play box on the market in my opinion, the ET-312B (they also have some nice, cheaper, more portable boxes). Their boxes are safe, versatile, with tons of built-in routines, audio input support, and expandability. Only downside is they're on the expensive side.

 

http://www.peselectro.com

- Makers of my favorite electrodes, especially their conductive rubber ones (corona stimulator w/ urethral insert, big boy sparklers), prostate stimulator, and acrylic bipolar dildo (this can make the muscles almost fuck ya with it). They also make a good and cheaper made-for-play box.

 

http://www.sextek.com

- These guys are affiliated with ErosTek and sell the ET-312B (as well as expansion software for it). They also make several nice electrodes as well as adapters for electrodes from other companies to get to work with the various boxes.

 

By the way, just in case some people wonder, I'm not affiliated with any of these companies or anything - I just thought some of you might find this interesting if nothing else.

 

Anyways, I know this was long, but hope some of you at least found this entertaining and interesting, and I'd love to hear if any of you have any cool fetishes. Also, I'd be more than happy to help with any questions you might have.

RE: Erotic Electrostimulation & Other Strange Sexual Ho...

 

Well, I assume this is the kind of fetish that really gives you a charge! :+

 

I've never done this sort of thing before but I do have a question. How does this differ from the aversion therapy done by some groups on sex offenders? It's my understanding that during this therapy electrodes are placed on the penis and shock is administered when the "patient" becomes stimulated.

 

Is it possible that this "therapy" is actually providing a sexual thrill to someone with this fetish?

 

BTW, great post and I appreciate that you provided links.

Thanks for the compliment!

 

To be honest, I've never heard of aversion therapy, so everything I say here is based on assumption.

 

BUT, as I said, sensation can go from very subtle to very pleasurable to very painful. I would assume the aversion therapy is the painful sort. I can tell you that, if you're into that, you can get e-stim to be VERY painful. (I'm not personally into a lot of pain, but I have accidentally bumped up the power to a too-high level, and I've also experimented as to what the power could do.)

 

I would imagine this COULD potentially cause a spontaneous orgasm, but I doubt it would be at all pleasant. (Generally if I want to speed things up and force an orgasm because I'm pressed for time, I keep slowly increasing the power until it's continually just above the threshold into the slightly uncomfortable zone...and that'll do it). I say slowly increase it because as you get used to a power level, you can often keep upping it a little at a time without pain. (And immediately after e-stim, especially if you've been at a high power level for some time, you can feel a little numb for a few hours, but it's not permanent or damaging.)

 

Other things to consider are the frequency, width, depth, and all the other factors of the electricity. Different frequencies can provide VERY different sensations, so that would be a big factor in how aversion therapy feels too.

 

I can't imagine a better torture device if you really wanted to cause someone pain without any permanent harm than an e-stim device truthfully. I'm sure it could be quite excruciating. I don't even really want to think about it - heh. To answer your question, I would highly DOUBT aversion therapy would be pleasurable to anybody if it's intended for pain. MAYBE somebody really, really heavy into BDSM.

 

It might be good to note here that while some people do e-stim on a partner, one of the problems is that it's HIGHLY subjective. It would be very easy controlling it for someone else to go from pleasure to pain without realizing it since the threshold can be quite small, which is why for most people, it's much more comfortable to manage their own controls. I'm a pretty submissive boy, but even I'd have to have safeguards to let someone else control my e-stim box for me. Talk about vulnerable - lol. (The good news is, with my box and as long as contact is good, it's pretty near impossible to do any permanent damage, even on high power levels).

I have a exotic erotic fetish for:

 

* straight porn;

 

* loquacious posters into latino/asian Twinks;

 

* straight twinks; and

 

* Ida Lupino

RE: Penthouse Forum Letter Section

 

Cool fetishes - I myself occasionally like to read straight erotic stories and such.

RE: Erotic Electrostimulation & Other Strange Sexual Ho...

 

Thanks very much for a really complete rundown on e-stim. I got into it too a couple of years ago. I'm a very serious BDSM bottom. I was tied up and blindfolded by this very hot top. He also had my cock and balls weighted and I began to feel a pulsing sensation in my groin. It grew more and more intense and made me feel even wilder than ever. The top seemed to sense how much I could take and gave me just a bit more. It was incredibly good and turned me instantly into an e-stim addict! It is a very important part of my sex life now....either alone or with one or more tops.

:P

RE: Erotic Electrostimulation & Other Strange Sexual Ho...

 

Nice to see another person on these forums who enjoys e-stim. I'm sure with practice, it is possible for someone to control it for another person effectively, especially in the BDSM scene. I'd actually love to try this, but at the same time am a little wary because the pleasure/pain threshold is sometimes very small. LOL. I'll admit sometimes it's feels pretty good to turn it up just past the point you think you can stand and be overwhelmed - I've done that to force myself over the edge before.

 

By the way, in case some of you missed it (I only made a small reference in the initial post), if you're curious what e-stim LOOKS like, there are lots of really great movie files you can grab off of that http://www.eroticelectrostim.com site (in fact, whole sections of the forums are dedicated to the pictures and movies). Lotta cum shots and such too. (The smaller files/movies are free - some of the larger files I believe you have to register for - I'm not sure.)

Well, for Christmas this year, I'm giving an ET-312B to my grandfather (who's in "the home"). I just need to figure out how to connect it to The Clapper. (Clap on! Clap off! Get off!) :+

Derek just pointed out to me that it should be: "Clap on! Get off! Clap off!" (I guess that's how it worked for his grandfather) :+

I've played as a bottom with electrostimulation before... I actually really rather enjoyed it. To a certain point, it gave me the warm fuzzies. After that it just became uncomfortable, then annoying. My partner at that time said I had a "high threshold", 'tho I don't know what that voltage threshold was. But, I confess, I am a stoic lass!

My own personal fetish is tickling- AND HOW! It's the main reason I hire escorts. It's not always easy to find escorts who'll cooperate as bottoms for this (or any, I suppose) fetish, but I do thank the Lord for those boys who do so, so unselfishly.

Guptasa, if you enjoy eletro, you might try a violet wand sometime. I found it to be very sexy!

La Belle Trixie

[guptasa1]

I greatly enjoy tickling as well (in my case, the one BEING tickled). Too much of it can get uncomfortable, but I like escorts who like to tickle me spontaneously (or engage in tickle wars, which I usually use) but know when it's too much. (Similarly, as I mentioned, I like spanking, pinning, and anything else that can be tender but with a loss of control and maybe a little humiliation on my part).

 

As far as violet wands, they do sound interesting, and I am curious about them but a little cautious. I should mention there's been some discussion on the e-stim boards, and a few people aren't convinced violet wands are truly safe for extended long-term use (apparently they can cause sunburn-like redness for a while because of the way they work). The great thing about the e-stim boards is there are some REAL experts on how electricity affects the body, etc., on those boards, and it's interesting to read their thoughts on all sorts of subjects like this.

Well now, this gives AC/DC a whole new meaning ...

 

... but I can never remember, do you stick the anode in your ass and the cathode in your penis, or is it the other way around???

 

By the way, did you know that if you add a ground wire to your balls, you can make a transistor.

 

Still Ready.

RE: Well now, this gives AC/DC a whole new meaning ...

 

I love playing "straight" man on occasion ... TENS units are definitely AC (alternating current)... So does it even make sense to talk about anode vs. cathode in this context?

 

Ob. confession - yeah, I"ve done it, love it, played heavy at times, and even had a cattle prod taken to my scrotum once or twice (which can cause burns).

 

AC can definitely cause burns (or kill) if the voltage is too high.

With a cock like yours, honcho, one would assume you could take heavy abuse. You're probably strong as a horse. }(

Assuming your question's serious, it doesn't matter which is which (the + and - connector), but the sensations can be slightly different if you switch which connector goes to which electrode I believe. (To be honest, I've never tried switching during the same session to tell you for sure.) But either way, it works fine with no danger (and is AC indeed), and there's no "right way" to hook up - you just do what feels best to you and try new things based on that..

 

As to the transistor thing, I really have no idea what you're talking about - I don't know much about the workings of electronics. (You don't have to know that stuff to practice safe e-stim if you have the right box, but you WOULD if you practiced stereostim.)

[guptasa1]

RE: Well now, this gives AC/DC a whole new meaning ...

 

I'd be careful with the cattle prod thing. Things like that too often would concern me (not only the burns, but I'd be worried eventually it might lead to even worse things like cancer). That's one thing I probably wouldn't even try, but then I'm not into real heavy BDSM - just the lighter, more playful stuff.

RE: Well now, this gives AC/DC a whole new meaning ...

 

Re: "Assuming your question's serious?"

 

I am always serious. Transistors come in two types: N pee N, and

Pee N Pee, the latter most often found after a long night of beer drinking.

 

If you are AC, you just wouldn't understand ...
