Penis electrode

I've bought a small roll of silver solder lead free the type used to solder copper pipes. It is about 4millimeters in diameter and you can form as you want. For example I form a ring around the corona and a ring at the base of my penis or a ring and a sound. Pay attention when you cut the solder it is sharp with the welder you have to round the tip. Use all hygienic precaution already described.

You have to be very careful with silver solder pointed ends. I typically bend them back on themselves at the ends so you don't get cut by the ends.

It's easy to round the ends so that they are safe using a soldering iron, heat gun or even fine sandpaper. The larger diameter silver solder is definitely less pokey than the smaller stuff.

I wouldn't recommend using ANY type solder. Even the lead-free has some nasty stuff in it. That is particularly a problem when running current through it, as the metal tends to migrate to your body due to the current.

If you have REAL silver solder, you can't smooth it with a soldering iron. It is composed of about 50% silver, 34% copper and 16% zinc. It melts around 1280F. You need a torch for that. The best way to smooth the stuff is with sandpaper or wetordry paper and a polishing wheel.

I use a tens unit and connect to a diy electrode using conductive tape & velcro to wrap around the shaft & use a small spring connected by wire to put inside the head opening.. the wires are connect to the tens machine. and boy it was amazing.....Since the wires are connected directly connected to the tens unit. No resistance fro the original electrode. you can get almost any intense strength you want..

If you are using plumbing solder, that is, the new lead-free stuff, it is NOT silver solder but pure tin. Tin is OK to use as an electrode. Read the label on the solder you use. Avoid any that has antimony, cadmium, or any other trace metals in it. You can get a severe allergic reaction to some of these, even zinc, and the worst scenario is having some of these toxic metals ionize and having the ions migrate into your tissues causing them to denature and die in place. Not a good thing. Tin is not toxic, in small amounts. Beware of stainless steels, many contain nickle, chromium and other undesireable metals. Even though stainless steels may be a surgical grade, under the influence of eletrolysis, they can release some of their components into the ionic state.

Carbon is safe, so is plain iron, although it can "rust" (oxidize). Know your chemistry and you can play safely.

In the world of electronics there is a "silver solder" which is mostly tin, but has a bit of silver in it, say 3%. Its confusing as for structural applications there is "silver solder" with a much higher amount of silver in it and a much higher melting point where a torch is needed to melt.

Other possibilities include using solid copper wire stripped of insulation. For example standard 14 gauge house wire, or even better 12 gauge. The same advice given about the ends should be heeded - doubling over followed by heat shrink tubing would work well. The worst that could happen might be a bit of green on your penis.
