Electric Play – What is it and How to Do it Safely
What is Electric Play?
Electric Play is a type of BDSM play that involves using electricity for sexual pleasure. It can be done in various ways, such as using a violet wand, TENS unit, or other electrical devices to stimulate the skin or other parts of the body. The intensity of the electrical stimulation can range from a mild tingling sensation to a more intense shock.
Types of Electrical Devices
Violet Wand
A violet wand is a type of electrical device that produces a low-current, high-frequency electrical discharge. The discharge creates a sensation on the skin that can range from a mild tickle to a sharp shock. It is often used in BDSM play to stimulate erogenous zones or to create a sensation of pain or pleasure.
TENS Unit
A TENS unit is a medical device used for pain relief. It sends electrical impulses to the nerves to block pain signals. In BDSM play, it can be used to stimulate the skin or other parts of the body. The intensity of the electrical stimulation can be adjusted to create a range of sensations, from a mild tingling to a more intense shock.
Other Electrical Devices
Other electrical devices that can be used for Electric Play include stun guns, cattle prods, and neon wands. These devices produce a more intense electrical shock and should only be used by experienced practitioners.
Safety Precautions
Electric Play can be dangerous if not done safely. Here are some safety precautions to keep in mind:
- Only use electrical devices that are designed for BDSM play.
- Do not use electrical devices on the head, neck, or chest.
- Avoid using electrical devices on areas with piercings or metal implants.
- Do not use electrical devices on someone with a pacemaker or other medical device.
- Always start with a low intensity and work your way up gradually.
- Have a safeword in place and stop immediately if the person being stimulated experiences any discomfort or pain.
- Never use electrical devices on someone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Clean the electrical device before and after use.
- Do not share electrical devices between partners.
Conclusion
Electric Play can be a fun and exciting way to explore BDSM play. However, it is important to do it safely and with the right equipment. Always communicate with your partner and have a safeword in place. With the right precautions, Electric Play can be a thrilling and satisfying experience.
