Electrosex: electrical stimulation in sexual acts

There’s always a lot of new stuff to discover when it comes to sex. Are you the experimental type and a bit of pain doesn’t scare you off? Maybe electrosex is your thing! 

What is electrosex?

Electrosex is also known as E-stim, it’s a special way of sexual stimulation. Performing the act of electrosex is known as stimming. The name says it all, electrosex is about using electric impulses for sexual stimulation. One of the fun things is that you can have an orgasm without being touched. Sounds interesting, right?

The dangers

Electroshocking in the bedroom might sound dangerous, but it really doesn’t have to be. It’s popular in the BDSM scene but you don’t have to play it that hard. It’s essential to know that electrosex is NOT for people with a heart or brain condition, or pregnant women. It is also strongly advised against people with pacemakers or drug pumps. 

How to

There are several toys, known as electrodes, to electro stimulate each other or yourself. You can purchase these at a sexshop, you might know the electrical device you can use with the wellknown grey sticky pads. You can attach those pads to your body, preferably on the erogenous zones. The device will help you indicate how much electro stimuli you want to pulse to the pads. If you are a beginner we advise you to start low and then build it up slowly, so you can get used to the feeling.

Does it hurt?

Thinking of electro stimuli you might get the image of painful electroshocks. But it is nothing like that. The electrical impulses stimulate the nerves and will provide you hands-free pleasures. Some fans compare it with the buzzing of a 100 bees. 

Electro sex is not something that should be hurtful, but if you are into BDSM it can be used to apply painstimuli.

Only use electrodes by recognized manufacturers to be sure they meet the safety standard.
