E-stim dangers

Is there any bad effects that can happen using E-stim? I would like to try it but am concerned that if the user is not experinced there could be harm done to the body.

I suspect nerve damage, heart arrhythmia, um the list is really long. The thing is your whole nerve system is being exposed to risk which includes your brain and each person responds to stimuli differently. I would say be very careful and always ease into it.

I have been using e-stim for years, but I caution against any homemade devices. Use a PES unit or TENs unit only below the waist. I have purchased many of the genital probes and attachments for males and females and use them with both units. The connectors are different so I have made adaptors. I don't mind sharing my knowledge with anyone interested. The sensation of a hands free orgasm is incredible.

I've used one many times, and have done lots of experimenting and modifications to the units. The most concerning thing I notice is that after a period of use, the intensity of feeling in the "treated" areas diminishes - for days. Not really a fan any more as I want to peak sensation, not diminish it.

I've been using a PES LBM for years and I have not had any problems. Just lots of nice stimulation and hundreds of orgasms

There is alot of information on this if you search for it. Saftey. My friend got alot of information when I first got my unit off google I believe.

Estim can be done very safely... Follow some simple rules....

For example, No stimming above the waste (cardiac issues) and use gel or lube at the contact locations and no electrodes with sharp edges (conductive rubber works best).

Have been stimming for years and no side effects except it could become habit forming. Start with a good TENS unit and if you enjoy go to the ERos Tek units and stay below the waist.

Thank goodness someone can explain the risks with trying new things. There are a lot of products out there and everyone needs to know the risk factors with them.

Never had a problem using e-stim - rather enjoyed it though - there are several companies that sell the proper equiptment

As the owner of the Yahoo! group Electro_UK I feel able to add to this topic.

Stimming below the waist with equipment made for the job has zero risk.

My rule is - if it feels good keep doing it - or turn it up a bit. If it feels like you have a problem – stop - the contact area is probably too small. Clipping on to a piercing can concentrate things a little but I have never had a problem using a connection via a cock ring and a PA piercing.

I notice that several ‘general’ internet sex shops (and some electro specialists too) sell nipple clamps which are not bipolar and are specifically made for nipple to nipple use. I do not recommend stimming across the chest but I guess it’s a fairly common practice.

Don’t be afraid to try electrosex, it opens up a whole new world of sensations.

Below the waist is the only area. Make sure unit is off to start with. Murder if you switch it on set to full, hell of a shock to the system

Never across the chest........NEVER, no matter how tempting those nipples look!

^^^^ Be careful about stimulating the central nervous system electrically. Definitely keep it away from your head.

There is a stim device that can be used on breasts ... http://www.win-health.com/bodi-tech-bust-lift-ems-bust-lifting.html

Just because someone sells devices does not mean that it is safe to use them. They are not meant to be used on the breasts by the way, but on the chest above the breasts.

It is clear that both electrodes are single pole so the current passes from one side to the other - something which is a definite no no even if you choose to ignore the mantra repeated here a number of times - "never above the waist"! Devices are available which are safer (note, safer, not safe) are two channel, use bi-polar electrodes and the channels are independently isolated so there is never a cross the heart situation.

There are a number of contra indications in the advertisement - what happens if you don't know you have heart disease or diabetes? But of course those warnings are to be heeded whatever equipment is used.

Using e-stim on the breasts is perfectly safe if the contact points are setup correctly.. If it weren't, all these e-stim sites, like Kink.com, WiredPussy, Insex, etc. would be killing models left and right. Many of those girls get electric shocks directly to their nipples, or from their tongue to various places.

We normally use our unit, however never above waist! Never had an issue with my units I purchased, as said above, if it feels good keep going! If it hurts turn it down!!!

Beyond the obvious danger of estim above the waist, potentially involving the heart, I understand that extended estim sessions with too high current levels can overstress muscles, actually causing small tears. I have no further information. Does anyone else?

Never heard about that, have heard rumors of issues with males, and inserting sounds or estim caths too long, and damage being done but rumors only..

@e2e2 - TENS waves will not damage muscles, but EMS stimulation can. I inadvertently pulled a groin muscle using EMS set on pulse, with too much power. The problem is, the longer you have the unit turned on, the more accustomed your nervous system gets to it, and that can result in lessened pain response. Absent pain response, it is possible to tense a muscle to the point of cramping, without realizing it. As to those talking about using tens units above the waist, I strongly suggest you be certain you have no heart or circulation (including blood pressure) problems, and only then, experiment. BUt always be certain the pathway between electrodes is confined away from the heart or head. For nipple play, for example, you could use to electrode pads, one on each side of the nipple, so that the current passes through the nipple or breast tissue, Alternatively, you can place one electrode directly on the nipple, and the other either just above or just below it, on the breast itself. BE careful, though - because the nipple tends to protrude, the contact area is small, and likely to be very intense. (The smaller the contact area, the higher the likelihood of pain)

FOrgot to mention - My unit is an LG-STIM Channel Combo. IT has 5 TENS modes with different wave/pulse outputs, and 3 different EMS modes. It is variable for both pulse width and power, and has two timers, with two channels on one of them and two on the other. Time is variable in 1 minute intervals from 1 to 15minutes, and five minute intervals from 15 minutes to one hour. There is also a "C" available in the timer, which keeps the unit on until it is manually turned off. (That's how I hurt myself - I accidentally passed the 60 minute setting and put it on C. After I came, I fell asleep.)

I've done estiming a long time. I only use a P.E.S. box, designed specifically for sexual estiming. They have some excellent information on their site, and always advice available from a lady name Anna. http://www.peselectro.com/ Never estim above the waist, and OK below the waist, but don't overdo it, get to know your body.

Also, be careful about straining muscles and the like. This is one of those areas where good common sense rules. Also, be aware that as you increase power levels the body can respond such that you don't feel it as much and if you continue to crank up the power you can possibility hurt a muscle, etc. I have never had that happen. I use prostate stimulation, rings on the end of my dick and a huge favorite of mine, ghost fucking. I am very anal, and I find a good ghost fucking with a P.E.S. box works out my asshole so I am less horny. My advice is to use the right equipment.

I know some are into estiming for pain, I am not. I only estim to have a good time, for me that's no pain. I do HFO all of the time, but never pain. Also, be sure to use the right electrodes. Here is a site where you can also get some more information http://smartstim.com/

Also be careful with DIY electrodes unless you know what you are doing, For example, some metals are poisonous to the body and with electrical currents flowing it is possible to basically plate out metal components into your body, this is not good.

All and all, to me, estiming is quite safe if properly done. zity.biz plus those two sites I mentioned should give to you a lot of good information. Don't be afraid to estim, just do it wisely and correctly, and it can be tremendous fun.

Is there any danger in taking a saline enema and holding it, and then using a bi-polar e-stim anal plug while holding the water?

Is there any danger in taking a saline enema and holding it, and then using a bi-polar e-stim anal plug while holding the water?

No, there isn't any danger. But if you think holding a saline enema with a bipolar electrode up you butt will energize your entire colon, you are mistaken. The saline enema makes the effective size of the electrode so large, the sensation will be greatly reduced.

It depends on what type of e-stim you are referring to? Tens units can be if used improperly above the waist. With a violet wand the only danger is light marks or burns if it is turned up too high. Start with the wand set on low and gradually turn it up until you find the limits of your comfort zone.

No.1 keep it below the waist

No.2 if it painful stop

No.3 have a blast
