A word about electrostim
I was queried in a private message, and will offer some info in this thread, since it touches on an interesting part of BDSM.
Many guys and girls like to experiment with electric shock stimulation, or electrostim. If proper equipment is used with care, this is absolutely safe for most people. First off, the line voltage from your wall plug is NOT what we use in electro play. It is a very low current with sufficient voltage to penetrate the skin and conduct through the nerves. If anyone wants a full explanation of the neural pathways, that can be Googled.
Electro play is a refined and measured form of endurance testing, or intentional physical stress. Depending on where the electrodes are placed, the current can cause muscle contractions (they sell stuff like this promoted as weight loss and self-massage), or intense sensations in various parts of the body that approach painful levels. Remember that the point is to use a painful stimulus to produce a pleasurable effect afterward.
The main health concern in electro play is twofold - never use it on anyone with a known cardiac condition or a pacemaker:no:.....even a small stray current could kill them!
The other area of concern is related to heart issues - NEVER place electrodes where the current would be conducted across the heart, or anywhere near the head (brain) for that matter.:no: Again, the medical issues are far too extensive to write here, just accept an experienced practitioner's advice on staying away from the upper chest or the head.
Yeah, I know that some electro play pics show the nips being used. That is a tricky thing and could end up very badly. My own experiences have shown me that lots of good stimulation can be had with electrode placement on the abdomen and lower. Obviously I cannot teach extensively, or guide this or any fetish from a forum; and anyone wanting to engage in BDSM practices should always deal personally (and locally) with others who have experience.
Just wanted to offer the same advice given privately to those reading this thread.
