Estim Your Nipples!
I read on many blogs regarding estim (electrical stimulation) using a TENS or other power source that you should never stimulate “above the waist”. I have been enjoying stimulation on my nipples (and penis) for over three years with much enjoyment and no harm at all! Here is how that came about.
I came down with prostate cancer in 2011, and had radioactive seeds (brachytherapy) as a treatment. I have been pronounced cured of that ailment. However, because of the treatment, and also because of my age (83), I have erectile dysfunction. I explored the use of a TENS unit to alleviate that condition. In 2014, I bought a TENS unit from Amazon for $33, the Santamedical model, which had great reviews (although most were not about estim.) The Braxton website (https://higbystim.com/) had instructions about using a TENS unit for sexual stimulation. At first I used the sticky pads that came with the unit, but later bought on Amazon a set of conductive rubber loops, which were far superior to the massager pads. I attached the loops to my penis, but where best to attach the pads? Certainly not on the nipples, Braxton warned against that. So I searched on Google: estim nipples. I found the following site: http://www.e-stim.net/viewtopic.php?t=4399, which stated:
"I asked by GP (medical doctor) how safe e-stim was on the nipples, and I found the answer interesting. She was remarkably unfased and just responded that if it is a TENS unit then it's very safe. She said if misuse of TENS units was considered dangerous they wouldn't be available without a prescription, and since they've been around for a long time without serious problems they are considered very safe. She said they are aware that people misuse TENS units by putting the pads across the chest, and that this isn't as dangerous as you would think (still not advisable) but that it is much more dangerous to put the pads on the head or neck."
Interesting, but was this really a statement by a doctor? I searched further on Google: TENS angina placement. The following page came up:

showing a picture with the electrodes placed right over the heart! I was delighted.
See also the UK site: https://www.niddvalley.co.uk/sympton_search.asp?sID=Angina, which states:
The TENS electrode pads are placed on the chest so that the main area where the patient experiences pain lies between them.
Further research on Google turned up other websites, both from the U S national Institute of Health and the British national Health Service. Both institutes have used TENS to treat angina, and place the pads right over the heart. (Admittedly, they no longer use TENS for angina, but that is because there are now better ways to treat angina: namely, pills.)
