Violet Wand Information

[ChaoticLil]

I have recently purchased a violet wand, and though I know how to use it I've read conflicting information regarding body jewelry. I have a hood and labia piercing and I need to know if I can use this near them.

I mean (sounding really stupid I know...) but it won't electricute me will it? Or do I just need to keep an eye on it heating the jewelry up? Or is it none of the above?

Thanks for not laughing (in my face anyway).

Ok an inquiring mind here, what is a Violet Wand

 

[ChaoticLil]

A violet wand is essentially a tesla coil type device. They were used in early part of the 1920-40's (I believe those are the correct dates) as a "medical" device. They were reputed to cure just about anything. Alot of people use them now as a sex toy.

Since I'm a sensation slut I bought one. I like all types of sensations and won this one off of Ebay. The closest that I can say is that they feel kind of like needle pricks. That depends though on how high you have it set. It can either be mild or high in the pain category.

The problem is (for me anyway) is that I don't know what will happen if I accidentally discharge it on my piercings. I don't exactly relish the thought of frying my pussy. I may like pain, but that is a little much even for me.

You have to admire a product that lives up to its name.

I think you read "violent" but it says "violet."
Have no clue what it is. I like antiques, but prefer my sex toys to be modern, battery -operated versions.

Reading this just made me wince. ouch just ouch.

It's essentially a static generator that you can control the intensity. I actually have a vintage one and a brand new one, though I'm letting a buddy have the new one. Back in the dinosaur days they were used as a quack/medical device.

If you can get used to the crackly static noise that it makes it's actually quite pleasant in a warped kind of way.

As a Chem. Student i can tell you YES ELECTRICITY DOES CAUSE HEAT!!!!! wether or not it will produce enough heat to hurt anything, i dont know. I also doubt anyone on the boards is really qualified to answer that.

Your Best Bet's For A Proper Answer Are

Gonna Be From, Cymbidia, Writerdom or Perhaps Tiggs!

Sorry I Cannot Answer Yer Question, But I Would Love To Play With That Little Toy With Ya Though

Isnt this the same quack that claimed he invented something called Orgone....and also I think he contributed to Sigmund Freud thesies.....But he was more nutty than most.

I can tell you this...as someone who works with metal on a daily basis...yes...you could very well electocute yourself via your clit rings....so be carefull.

Short answer:

Don’t use the wand on or near your metal piercings unless you want to take the chance of being burned.

That said, there’s an amount of pleasure to be had from the arc of electricity that will accompany the wand being directed toward your piercings. This is a “go slow and figure it out for yourself” type thing. If I were new to this, I’d want to begin without my rings and work up to playing with them inserted.


Long, boring answer:

*Always test the intensity setting on a somewhat non-sensitive place on your body before using it for any sexual stimulation, especially if you’ve purchased it used at eBay (or some place like that). Additionally, all used sex toys should be cleaned very thoroughly before you use them (though I’m sure you know this already).

*Don’t ever use a violet wand near your eyes. Take off your glasses/contact lenses before beginning any play with this or any other electrical toy.

*The violet ray will arc to metal. While that’s often what you want (remember those rings in sensitive places?), when you use the wand at its highest setting it can definitely cause surface burns to the skin where it touches metal.

(A personal note, I have a hood ring and have elected to **not** introduce it to electricity despite offers to relieve me of that little bit of virginity. That may change, of course, but for now it’s on my soft limits list. Quite frankly, the idea of getting burned THERE scares the fuck out of me, and not in a fun way either.)

*Like all electrical devices, don’t use this near water

*Keep the charge away from unhealed breaks in skin (like new piercings). This is because VW electricity travels on the surface of the skin and you really want to keep it there rather than give it entry into your muscle tissue.

*Be aware that vintage wands are often WAY more powerful than the newer ones.

*You know, too, that (like all electrical toys) you should not cross the baseline of the body as you’re playing. Work only on the right side, and stay below the heart. Then go to the left side, again, staying below the heart. While this rule is less important with VW (because, again, the electricity it produces travels only on the surface of the skin rather than through the body), it’s still a good habit to get into.

*Don't use the wand too long on any one area. Redness (just like any good flogging) is common and fades in a few days, but overuse on one area can cause what is essentially a sunburn.

*The sparks from a violet wand will ignite flammable liquids. In some cases that could be the desired effect, as in violet wand fireplay. Still, keep your beer or your snifter of cognac far away from the thing while you’re using it. Fireplay is a whole different scene, and unless you’re looking to play there, it’ll freak you out completely to suddenly be on fire, literally, in the middle of your good time.

*Rule of thumb: Most people shouldn’t be zapped with electricity for more than 15 continuous minutes at a single time.

Thank you SO much!

Most of the information I already knew or figured out on my own. With something as important to me as my clit I figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

I've copied your info and I'm going to print it and keep it with the wand. That way both my guys will know how to use it safely.
