electronic arousal - 'TENS'

[welshman]

Sorry if this has been covered before but who has tried electronic arousal, e.g. using a 'TENS' machine.

I'm particularly interested to hear from women who have used them; what does your wet vagina feel like with an electic tingle flowing within it? does your clitoris feel like its being aroused like nothing else can do? Do you use a metal object inserted into your vagina and connect the 'TENS' onto it?

I use mine as my prefered method of masturbation since I first tried it. I place the sticky electrode pads onto my phallus' shaft, I find it extremely arousing but difficult to actually climax- it's like being on the very edge of coming for as long as I want. I tend to finish by the 'old fashion' method tho.

I don't visit here very often so any repliers please be patient but feel free to discuss it amoungst yourselves!

I have no idea what you are talking about!

I have used a tens unit before but it was for its intended use. I had a bad back sprain and I went to physical therapy where they used it. Although I like your idea of physical therapy more! For those who don't know what it is... It is a machine that sends electrical impluses to your muscles to massage them. It felt fabulous on my back. I kept turning it up when the doctor left the room.

I know what a TENS machine is and how it works (I was the R&D manager for a company that sold software/hardware for spinal trauma therapy and I got an education about muscles, the spine, etc. from some of the experts in the field), but I fail to see how stimulating the muscles by electronically induced muscle tension would "massage" a muscle. Typically, when someone needs a massage their muscles are tight or hyper tensioned, and they do not need to be contracted more. Most massages work to relieve the tension and so on. I fai lto see how a TENS unit could help in this regard. It seems to me that it would exacerbate the problem, not help it.

Ok maybe massage was the wrong word, but it felt damn good! All I know is that my back was in much pain and this made it feel much better. I think the machine is similar to those stupid "weight loss" machines they market now. Ya know the ones that you stick the eloctrodes to your stomach and you watch it make your muscules contract.

Electricity is not getting anywhere near my Sensitive spots.

I'm with Wiggles.... And actually.. I've seen things like that on TV and they scare me... I don't like the idea of pumping volts into Any part of my body for Any reason

I think it works by whacking a few thousand volts through your muscle and 'making' them relax when they may not want to, the voltage is high but the amps are super low so it feels like your being tickled to death (theres no pain) and I have seen a machine for just this sort of thing.

The machine more tingles your nerves- your pleasure nerves in this case and if you felt the effect you would DEMAND that electricity be flowed through your 'sensitive bits'!! better than a vibrator which just 'shakes' them.

This is not what I use but look here if you want more information about 'electro-sex':

they sell a booklet about using a music amplifier! for sexual pleasure, but it's a similar effect from a TENS unit [Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation] The unit I have is a two channel unit [4 electrodes] with variable frequency and intensity, I prefere a high frequency and about 70-80% power, the type of pleasure is like nothing else. A vibrator is maybe the nearest effect, but that is physical, this is electrical; low level electric energy; not painful unless you turn it up too high (good for S&M! but I'm not into that) I find it hard, pun intended, to come in this way but if I haven't ejaculated for a while, say a week, I can after some time and additional finger stimulation on my wetted glans and its very intense, probably because my entire cock is being stimulated. But I'd like to hear from any female who's tried something like this particularly the effect regarding her wetness. Any adventurous female out there care to share her experience?

It's great to have a website like Literotica to share 'new' sexual experiences and maybe give others the chance to try something new that they might find exciting. Power to the people: free speech and all that.

I have never seen anyone use a tens unit for sex play, but I have seen a violet wand in use and you can get all sorts of attachmnets for one. It is certainly a very visual toy and idea for a party display since the all parties are very obviously involved in each interraction.

Well, now, I find the idea of turning my stereo into a toy quite fascinating. Do you know someone who has made their own using the booklet?

tens unit and sex (WEG)

Back in the early eighties when i was married to my second wife, who had a back injury and was using a TENS unit to help control pain, We tried out a few experiments!

Yes, it can be erotic as any new toy can be. I did then and still have a few questions about the saftey of using anything that passes emf through the body.

I don't know how much they have changed since the early eighties, However, Taking one like my ex-wife had and you could make just about anyone tell you anything you want to know!

I did note that as time goes by it takes more power to get the same effect. The issue of nerve damange also comes to mind.

I would be very careful about putting the electrodes around the chest area! I think some research is in order before befoe using anything like a TENS unit for play long term any way!

What a real TENS unit is:

Just to clarify some mis-information in some of the above posts:
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator are the correct words for the acronym.

The unit stimulates nerves, not muscles. Now the nerves stimulate the muscles so that is why a person can feel anywhere from a small tapping to a larger muscle contraction, whichever feels better to that individual. As the unit is usually used on pain control, the electrical pulses stimulating the nerves are believed to send a different message, other than pain, to the brain. Where you put the electrodes affects which nerves you stimulate.

It is also believed that the TENS unit stimulates the brain to produce endorphins.

Voltage is variable from 0-100 volts.

Thanks to a little web search, I now am more informed about TENS units.

No; I've used a TENS unit[2 channel:-stereo?!] and I use it to masturbate with now as my prefered way of arousal/coming, tho a climax isn't allways the case, but it can arouse me like NOTHING else.

An AED (automated external defibrillator) has about 5000 volts of power. With transthoracic impedence, I don't believe that the 100 volts of tens unit with one electrode would have any affect on the heart.

TENS unit play is a well-known subset of the electro-play category (a category that also includes, for instance, the violet wand BG talked about among other 'toys') within the broader sphere of what's considered BDSM sexual play.

Two things to very careful of with all electro-play: (1) you must never ever ever apply the electricity anywhere near the heart and (2) you must try very hard to avoid repeated crossings of the midline of the body with the application of the electricity.

That said, electro play can be percieved by the one on whom it's being done as anything from light touches (tickly sensations, as someone mentioned) to incredibly powerfully erotic pulses to truly shocking and painful (yes, bad pain) experiences. It's something i've done with only one Dom, ever, because it's not a thing you EVER want to do with someone who dosn't know what s/he's doing. You could end up dead - or worse.

Please don't try to use your home stereo sys as a masturbatory device. That would just be plain stupid and you'd end up as a runner-up for this year's Darwin Awards.

I am laughing....Maybe this thread should have a "Warning: May be hazardous to your health" line.

And all stereo equipment should also have a warning that states should not be used electrically as a sex toy.

Chuckling...

It still doesn't change my fascination with the idea. I don't think the sex toy industry has the same type of testing requirements as the medical equipment industry. If I were going to experiment, I would probably go with a TENS unit.
