You know, ladies, some subbies enjoy the sensations of electrical toys. Don't knock 'em, till you try 'em. Yes, I guess that's up to you, though.

I know electrical play isn't for everybody, but you should allow someone to show you what it's like, on your own terms, of course.

LOL To tell the truth, I want to someday, but everything I've read says it's for experienced bdsmer, which neither I nor hubby are. So sometime in the future

That's perfect, then. You both can take your time. Read up on it, and go slow. If you never start, that sometime in the future is ALWAYS in the future.

The violet wand is the safest (static electricity), but also the most expensive. But, get a bi-polar TENS, and you'll do OK, too. But, they also aren't cheap.

Say, didn't we already have this conversation a couple weeks ago?

A better question would be did she get a little up close and personal experience with said mop head after finding out what it really was ... :cool:
 
people always think of shocking and frying when they think elecrtical don't they, not little orgasmic ripples through one's labia. People usually like TENS units.

I'm not fully ready for snow and cold yet, we didn't get that nice warm long Sept fally fall and I'm cranky. It's just wet and icky all of a sudden.

I may make some generous client buy me a pair of UGGS like boots and make him lick them.

Um, nope. And I fully intend to try it at some point. But we're new enough at bdsm that everything is new. If we try everything NOW, then we won't have anything new to do later. Besides, we're broke.

Yes, electricity sure has its stigma. Electric chairs, electrocution, shock therapy, sizzle and fry, ultimately ending up in a crispy critter.

I like my violet wand, because it's not only versatile, it's also visual. But a nice TENS unit will do wonderful things and when used with caution and at low settings, it can create sensations, modulated by sensations.

The fancy units have different wave settings and modulation settings to cause one wave to co-mingle with another wave, forming sensuous ripple effects on whatever body part the electrodes are connected to.

The settings I'm talking about are far below any that would even begin to cause pain or any feeling that would seem like a shock. These settings will make you purrrrr. And, when controlled by a lover who has learned to control these settings, you can be taken on a ride you won't soon forget.

Now, there are settings that will cause pain, but they are not necessary, unless you want to go there. The only real precaution is to keep any sensation away from the heart muscle, because that can be dangerous.

But, with the purchase of a bi-polar TENS (that stands for 2 poles completely encased in each alligator clip), that is controlled. Although a single pole TENS is probably cheaper, it must never be used around the heart, such as from one nipple to the other. But, for other areas, it is fine.

A double pole TENS is kind of like having two single TENS in one unit. That's part of why they are so expensive. But, safety isn't cheap.

I'm never fully ready for snow and cold. Actually, I hate winter. But, because I have allergies, and I hate biting insects like misquotes, I always look forward to the first hard freeze. Too bad, the first freeze and winter are related.

OK, you lost me there. I do have some near knee high boots for when the snow gets deep, but other than that... But, something tells me that wasn't what you had in mind.

Well, broke is one word I understand, lately. And, a TENS unit isn't cheap. I'm glad I purchased my wand when I had money. And no, it isn't something I will ever want to sell. There's just some things you keep around for times without money.

I'm not trying to change your mind. Do things in your own time, for sure. But, as Nike says, "Just do it!" It's a great way to spend a rainy Sunday (or Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday, too). Think I'm bias? Probably. :cool:
 
I also hate snow. That's why I live in Oregon, in the Willamette Valley. The weather here rarely gets below freezing, or over 90ish.

Also we don't have a very big bug problem. I've lived everywhere, and let me tell you, I love the LACK of bugs here. You can only get a tick if you go into the forest, and even then it's rare. The mosquitos are small, and so are the roaches. The largest roach I've seen here was the size of a pin head. Also, they don't fly. :D

In northern Oregon, and Southern Washington there are no poisonous snakes, only garter snakes, and only 2 poisonous spiders. The largest spider I've seen here is a common garden spider, and they generally stay outside, where their food is.

It only snows a few times a year, and rarely more than 6 inches. And the best part is every climate you could want is in driving distance. The coast is a minimum of 2, 2 1/2 hours away, the mountains (for snow) is about and 1 to 2 hours away. The desert is on the other side of the mountains, about 3 to 4 hours away. It's the perfect place.

LOL Well I spend rainy days trying to keep my kids from climbing the walls. And you don't have to change my mind, I'm very interested, have been for a while, but their's still the money thing, and the keeping it for later. It's like . . . keeping a christmas present for a while, so that you have something to open later!
 
Here's a picture I took of the coast in August. This is in Tillamook, to be specific.
 
And here's a pic of my daughter and her best friend in my backyard IN JULY. (fyi I blurred thier faces on purpose.)

edited to add
Ok, I've been PM'd (by snowy ciara) to let me know you can still see the kid's faces. I want to say that on the program I used, their faces looked blurry to me.

Let me rephrase that, I didn't mean to confuse everyone. Kat is one of my closest friends, irl. I stayed at her house for a week or so when I got out of the hospital earlier this month. I actually saw the mylar flogger/mophead thingy but didn't have the nerve to ask what it was for. I knew what mylar is; I just couldn't figure out what the item I'd found was used for.

Mylar is a form of thin sheet material that has kind of a mirror like finish to it. That mirror finish is metalic and will conduct current...electrical current. It works really great with the static charge of a violet wand.

Mylar is sometimes seen in Christmas decorations as tinsel etc., and also in other party decorations like helium balloons (because the helium doesn't escape as quickly as it does from normal balloons) and colorful streamer like things, for lack of a better name. :)

By the way, there is a mylar flogger made just for this purpose, but it's always more fun to make your own, right?

Ah, I understand that quite well. Cool.

Clarifications are cleansing and/or cathartic, sometimes. But, they're full of truth, too. :D

Wow, Oregon sounds nice. I had no idea.
Yes, I agree. If it wasn't so damn far, I'd move! We have hot and humid summers that can break 100 degrees, cold winters that get down to the single digits, with deep snow and ice storms all the time.

The bugs, bitin' and otherwise (shit we got German roaches, Oriental roaches, American Roaches...), poisonous snakes and spiders, not to mention an awful lot of poison ivy in this area. Shit, I'm itchin' just talking about it.

We got hungry chiggers, skeeters as big as passenger jets and they're as hungry as they are large. Feas and ticks were bad this past summer.

Yep, Oregon sounds quite nice. Especially after writing the above. Ah, but they say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. We must really be strong in this neck of the woods. :D

Are you in Missouri by chance? Cause that sounds a lot like Missouri. I lived there for 2 years, and I would never move back.

Nice pictures. They look a lot like our mid-west snows. But then, I guess snow is snow, right?
Most likely. But somewhere I read that somebody had learned the hard way to stay away from yellow snow!! :D

Well, not in Missouri, but only about 5 miles to the west of it. The critters all have legs and/or wings. They can follow that distance.

And, did I mention allergies? I'd guess the pollen is not too bad out there? But, what about mold? Doesn't it rain a lot, like in Washington?

It does rain a lot, I have to admit, but since we're in driving distance of everything, if it's driving you crazy, you just go for a drive. I personally love the rain, but then I have very light sensitive eyes, and the sun really hurts me.

Sounds a lot like KY too.
 
Ick. I am never moving out of the northwest! NEVER. This is not a challenge, God.
