Electrosex Unplugged: A Deeper Guide to Erotic Electrostimulation

In our previous guide to  E-stim play, we discussed electrosex, today we’ll shine more light on it. In case you haven’t read the prior post (which you definitely should), erotic electrostimulation is a form of sexual activity that resolves around using electrical stimulation of various intensity levels to enhance sexual pleasure. This practice involves using devices such as TENS units, violet wands, or specially designed electrosex toys to apply electric currents to the body, particularly erogenous zones. The electrical stimulation used can range from a gentle, tingling sensation (known as TENS) to a more intense, pulsating feeling (e-stim), depending on the settings and devices used. For some individuals, electrosex can add a new dimension to their sexual experiences, like a fetish guilty pleasure. For others, it’s the best and only masturbation technique.

HFO

If you began researching the subject of electrosex on your own, you probably stumbled upon the term HFO. It’s an acronym for Hands-Free Orgasm, and for many people, a goal of e-stim. During e-stim play, actual orgasm starts on a mental lever, which later calls the genitalia to action. This is why it’s so desired but also difficult to achieve. The first thing you have to do if you’re aiming for HFO is relax. Start with playing your favourite sexy playlist, or watching your favourite porn videos. You need to be as relaxed as possible and stop concentrating on coming, but more on what you feel at the moment. The human brain is a curious thing, and while it usually cooperates, it tends to also jeopardize your plans. Don’t give up if the first few tries are futile, it’s not an easy art to master. Your few first times may result in ruined orgasms or poor hands-free ones, but it’ll get better with time. In fact, HFOs are widely considered much better than any other orgasms you can experience.

For Men

Electrostimulation techniques differ not only based on the type of play but also on gender. A lot of men struggle to achieve orgasms with e-stim, especially the Holy Grail of electrosex — HFO. The actual reason behind this struggle remains unknown, but perhaps practice makes perfect, and it’s something that can be trained. In general, it’s easier for women to achieve a hands-free orgasm, regardless if it’s via electric play or other types of bedroom fun. First and foremost, the man in question has to remember that orgasms from e-stim are not coming from their crotch but rather origin in their brains. And for that, they have to stop concentrating on coming, but instead relax and enjoy the journey.

Safe Places To Explore

Remember that apart from the well-known map of erogenous zones, every person is different, and they need different stimulation to feel good. However, these spots are widely considered the best for e-stim:

• Perineum — the space in between the ball sack and anus is packed with sensitive nerves that are itching for a touch, or a shock in this case.
• The outer sides of the shaft — penises are very sensitive parts, but the top of the shaft consists of nerves that transmit sensations to the brain, it’s worth experimenting with. Just keep it light.
• Foreskin — of course, the tip is the central of all pleasure, but direct stimulation might be too painful, exploring through the extra layer of skin might prove worthy. Deepest apologies to those with cut foreskin. 

Tools

Stores dedicated to electrosex have a lot to offer for penis owners. Regardless of your choice, remember to include a conductive gel to prevent hot spots. The most popular choices of toys include:

• Adhesive pads — we discussed this type of electrodes in our previous sex guide, they can be used on basically every part of the body, which makes them a must in every direction.

• Cock rings — usually made of metal or conductive rubber, simple to use, which works in their favour.
• Anal plug — if you like stimulating your anus, you definitely should try this method.
• Cock plug — it’s a plug that goes into the urethra, like sounding. It may be considered too rough for most men, but some will find it just right.

For Women

A lot of women enjoy playing with electricity, although most don’t get past the TENS experience. Achieving HFO for females during electrosex still isn’t easy, but many claim it’s much easier than with other methods. Of course, certain safety measures still have to be kept, but apart from physical dangers, there are also mental ones. HFO are highly addictive for both genders, but only coming using e-stim may make it hard, if not impossible, to finish via other methods or with a partner. Besides, wouldn’t it be better to keep it as a special treatment and only enjoy it from time to time? That being said, let’s jump in!

Where To Use The Trodes

Apart from the usual unsafe zones, it’s advised to also steer clear of the clitoris. It’s too delicate to take the tension of most e-stim toys, and ignoring its sensitivity puts the future sexual pleasure is at risk. As appealing as it sounds to play with the nipples, they’re also, obviously, out of range. It may cause serious health problems. Don’t worry, there are many places on your body that will give you nothing but pleasure, for example:

• Around the clitoris — the shocks will be sent through the clit, so be careful with the power level.
• One electrode inside and one above the clitoris — this configuration is guaranteed to make you feel good.
• One electrode in each hole — feel the shocks inside you and pulsating from your crotch.

The same as with male equipment, official electrosex stores have a lot of options for ladies, but in case you feel overwhelmed with all the choices, here are the most popular ones:

• Adhesive pads — same as for men users, pads once again prove to be a key accessory for all e-stim users.
• Electrical dildos — usually made of conductive silicone, great for both internal and external use.
• Anal plugs — a popular choice for both gender, can be paired with a vagina insertion.
• Electrical gloves — send electrical pulses of pleasure with every touch.

As the practise of electrosex gains in popularity, the market comes forward, offering more and more toys for electrostimulation. Remember to shop only in proper stores, as playing with electricity can be dangerous. Stay free from suspicious Chinese marketplaces and the DIY options. Your safety is more important than saving money, and although we understand this hobby is one of the priciest, it’s still not worth the risk. Using certified toys, designs for electrosex, you can be certain it will be a fulfilling and safe experience. Happy exploring!
