While it’s more commonly found in the BDSM scene, it’s not reserved to just the BDSM scene. Electrostimulation can cause intense orgasms by causing increased stimulation. So intense it can actually cause an orgasm without any kind of penetration.

While this is a “safe” type of play, it can and does come with dangers

(like most kinks!) it is INCREDIBLY important you’re only using safe toys that are designed and rated for electrostimulation sexual play. Any kind of homemade device or a device not meant for sex play can not only be dangerous but has the potential to be fatally dangerous. It’s suggested for safety purposes to not use these toys above the waist because they have the potential to affect the heart (Especially with those known to have heart conditions. It’s actually not recommended at all for folks with heart issues.)

Another potential danger is how much voltage is being used. Seriously, this can be dangerous because too high of a voltage can cause burns to the skin too. (You don’t want to end up in one of my sex sent me to the er segments, do you? No, I promise you don’t.)

Skin condition also takes a part in this play

and whether your skin is wet or dry has an effect on the electrostimulation. This can change as you go on, what can start as dry skin, can turn to wetness due to perspiration as your play session goes on.

Because this type of play has so many danger factors, I strongly suggest starting with a partner who has experience with electrostimulation before diving in head first.
