Noob with questions - Estim

I started with stereo stim and you have to be very careful when adjusting the volume. Also, depending on what you are playing on the stereo, any sudden bass movements can give you quite a jolt. This didn't last long as I searched a lot of information on the web. Based on this I bought a tens unit. I used this for about a year with my handmade electrodes, then finally was able to purchase electrodes and pads online. (There are several sources). I used the tens for about 18 months enjoying my hands free orgasms, but wanted more variety in the types of stimulation. I researched and found the ET-312. This unit is not inexspensive so I had to wait awhile before being able to buy one. The wait and the cost were surely worthwhile. Most of my stim sessions are 1-2 hours and have a hands free orgasm every time and then multiple on occasion. Stimming is great, but you have to play safe. Don't push yourself too fast, too soon. Work up to what pleasures you aand enjoy the out-cum!

I use stereo estim and a program on my computer called edron. It can be found on smart stim. It is a audio tone generator with a crazy amount of adjustability. You can set left and right, independently, to change freq through a range that you set. It will continuously descend to the preset limit then increase to the high limit then decrease. Or you can set right and left to specific fregs and enjoy. It also so has a random function, that works with the limits or specific freq function. It will randomly change freq and/or intensity within limits that you can set.

The sounds that it generates are nothing like music or anything that you would find pleasant to listen to. Never fails to produce the coveted HFO.

Here's an idea for an electrode that I've made and use occasionally. Use small solder (always lead free) or light gauge copper wire. A piece of round bar or a pencil to be used as a form. Run a 2" length of solder along the pencil. Wrap the solder around the pencil and over top of the part laying along the pencil, about 10 or so turns. Leave about 1/16" between each turn. Cut off the excess solder, slide off the pencil, twist the ends of the solder together, What you have should look like a spring of sorts. Screw it into your urethra. It should stay in place very nicely, if you've made it the right dia.

I guess my question about eStim is its effectiveness. I have seen the videos on the web and they look genuine, but the investment is pretty high for something that may not be all that effective. I wish there was a way to test drive this stuff before purchase. I know that because of STDS that is not really possible. The whole expense thing about something that may or may not be satisfying is what holds me back.

You can get a tens unit and basic pads and things to play with for under a hundred bucks. That would go a long way to seeing if estim is right for you.

Do most people like some pain with estim? Not having tried really I am curious as to if pain is a contributory factor for many.

I don't like outright pain and have no desire to give or receive pain. I prefer estim for stimulation and pleasure. That said, as I gradually increase the power there is some mild pain and, to be honest, it can feel really good. Not pain as such but something just beyond comfortable.

Was just curious as to the expectations of users

Tried it just the once, i didnt get much out of it, in fact i got bored,i think it is like a lot of fantasies and the things you want to try,

the fantasy is more intense than the reality.

Thanks to all for your posts. It is very informative and has given me the desire to try estim for myself. I will post later and hopefully it will be great.

Hi all,

New to estim, but have been interested for quite a while. A recent prostate cancer diagnosis 😢 (small, early and non aggressive 😃 ) means I'll have to do kegel exercises pre treatment and post treatment. I was wondering if I should get a power box with a number of different programs or one that has continuously variable pulse width and frequency. Don't think I need audio input or a motion sensor . After I get the current situation resolved, would love to try for HFO with it. I've been into electronics all my life & understand the above the waist dangers & different square, sine & saw tooth wave forms.

Thank you for your opinions!

Best regards,

vapor

You sound technically adapt, so I think you could handle the ET-312 to start. One consideration is that by using an analog box like the PE box or the Folsom (Folsom has several models, the basic will be a good starter, the max is for those into pain play). You could even look around the web and find plans to make your own box...

The audio input might be something you will want to explore later; audio output is very useful for establishing classical conditioning. OTOH if you don't plan on playing with others and if you don't want to self condition audio out is superfluous.

Hello everyone, I am new here and I've never herd of E-Stim before, and i am very curious about what it is. Could anyone explain it to me?

Hi there, and welcome! Basically estim is the application of safe levels of electrical signals to various erogenous zones, to cause anything from a mild and pleasant tingle to powerful intense erotic feelings through to Sado-masochistic pain. The signals can be generated by therapeutic TENS boxes, made-for-sex stimulation devices, or home made from stereo amplifiers. Both sexes can enjoy estim, though most practitioners are male I think. There is a lot more information, as well as photos and videos, on the specialist smartstim.com forum. I hope this information is useful, ask any questions you want. You probably realise that I'm a stimmer, and I love it!

Started with a TENS unit and have had some incredible success. The amount of pre-cum and the intensity of the orgasms are incredible. I do have a question. My TENS has 2 "outputs", would the intensity be increased if both of the negative leads were connected to one electrode and both of the positive leads connected to the other electrode?

Obviously, I'm new to e-stim and doing all kinds of experimenting. Any info would be great

No - but it would probably explode!!!!!!

No - but it would probably explode!!!!!!

NOT!

Bridging the outputs in parallel would most likely double the total output to the electrodes. This is the same thing that can be done with many stereo power amplifiers. I learned this from my husband who did this with his previous stereo system and our present home theater. He said that would save us money so he wouldn't have to buy newer, bigger amplifiers because he could combine the outputs of two channels in the multi-channel amplifier. -- He couldn't control himself because he eventually bought all new stuff anyway! But I don't care anymore, he has his stereo and I got my car.

I said MOST LIKELY double the power output, because it is also possible the e-stim unit may not respond well to the new load and might suffer damage to its circuitry but you won't be hurt my it.

I do suggest you try the combined load on a less sensitive part of your body than your genitals. One electrode on each foot would be good.

DO NOT hold one electrode in each hand. It could stop your heart.

Isn't that roughly what I said?

Estim can be painful but you are the controller of that if you do it right its marvoulous ive only had a et 232 you dont want any thing that has a button to turn up you want a knob to control intensity you can get a power box at happy stim on layaway

I saw a really nice E-stim. It was a bulb like form on a wand. It lit up and looked like a lot of fun. Does anyone know where I can get this online?

Waldo,

I read about building a Davey box here and being steered to smartstim for the instructions. For some reason, I cannot get in to smartstim so I have been waiting to see if someone here has the instructions on how to build. Sounds like maybe you do. Will you connect me with them? I'm trying to expand beyond a TENS without laying out too much money.

Thanks

Sounds like you're talking about a violet wand. They're widely available from kink vendors. Just be careful because you get what you pay for. Go cheap, get crap.

That will get you started but keep in mind this is a very basic unit that is built on the cheapest of audio amplifiers so its not designed to be a final device. Make sure you get some audio tracks to test it with. You can also check out www.reddit.com/r/estim for more info. There is a lot of stuff in the earlier posts on that board.

Male. I have tried estim a few times. First few were not good experiences. Last time was pleasurable though. I experienced a fair bit of leakage during it, that was expected from what I've read when researching estim, but then something unexpected happened, I peed a little bit. Not much, a short dribbling, a thimble full or so, but it was certainly urine. I stopped after that and won't go back until I get more info. Has that happened to anyone else? Did something wrong happen?

Captain, research on Smartstim!

I love to e stim. I like to stim out in public, shopping, going to the gym , basically when ever I can. This morning I went to the gym and almost came three times. Was extremely tough walking to each exercise machine, the edging was fantastic. This lasted for two hours couldn't have been happier. Was wondering if any one else likes what I like.

So I recently discovered Estim myself. I met up with a guy who used penis straps on me. He also lightly touched the head of my penis while I gave myself the electro stim.

Since then, I thought I would try a simple TENS unit with the regular wide pads. They work great! I've already had two amazing hands free orgasms.

I love how it makes my cock twitch with pleasure. And after I shot my load the second time I used it, I turned down the voltage to low and allowed the pleasure to continue.

I place one pad under my head on the frenulum, and the other pad on the other side of my cock or at the base of my balls.

I even tried one day while driving to work. Thankfully I didn't ejaculate!!

I'm getting hard just thinking about using it!!

Different strokes for different folks. I'm into the pleasurable uses and the right device can stimulate your prostate extremely well eliminating the need for help. Others seem to be into the punishment type of e-stim and that's what gets them off. And when you're done the e-stim can give an amazing back massage. I can't believe it took me so long to learn about it. When you reach the point you've got your device on high and want more switch to lithium batteries.

E-stim can be quite pleasurable with even the simplest of devices. I have crafted several leads and adapters for everything from audio systems to commercial units. Never had a partner complain. It's a wonderful world to explore. Play nice! W

It's very difficult to describe to someone how estim feels if they haven't tried it. I've referred to it as like a vibe on steroids and that really doesn't do it justice. When I got started years ago it was with a inexpensive TENS box, using the pads that came with it. After several attempts with no success I finally learned what worked best for me and had my first HFO. Boy it was amazing. From there I kept searching for the 'perfect' estim box and kept buying and trying almost all of them one at a time, each one costing a bit more than the previous one. Finally after reading so much about the "cadillac" of units I broke down and bought a ET312. It was awesome but didn't really feel like I was getting full benefit from it until I ran across using MP3/audio files. WOW totally amazing. I had bought a number of electrodes and made a few of my own. My favorite hookup was using 3 trodes in the tri phase configuration. One connection around the head, one in the anus, and a common around my balls. Absolutely mind blowing. Good luck to all.

So how does one begin to experiment with e-stim? never tried but interested. is it best to work with someone else or just try it on your own?
