Devices for electrical stimulation of muscles or the heart have been present in medicine and physiotherapy for quite some time. But how does electrical stimulation work between the sheets?
Electro sex is a special form of stimulation, focusing on the arousal of intimate areas with electrical impulses. Don't worry. It does not involve any pain. The human body is composed of fluids, making it an excellent conductor. By using a sex toy or a conductive pad that operates on the principle of electrical stimulation, electricity passes through nerve cells, which create pulsating, almost vibrating types of pleasure.
In general, electro stimulation sex toys are divided into two groups: those that connect to a base unit, and independent toys with built-in electrical stimulation. What's the difference?
With the former, you need, in addition to the toy (e.g., a masturbator), a box and wired electrodes powered by batteries. This is called a power unit. To this unit, you connect the sex toy and use a remote control to set the speed (pulse frequency), intensity (strength of the impulse), and width (how long a single electrical impulse from the device lasts). The box (or base unit) allows the connection of multiple toys at once. To be clear - the toys that we connect already have electrodes attached that enable electrical stimulation.
Certain sex toys have their own built-in electro stimulator. This means they do not require a base unit (box). They offer electro pleasures just the same, only you don't need extra equipment for them.
Electrosex is generally suitable for the advanced user. We recommend it to those who say they have tried everything. This means that you are familiar with your body, its limits, and would like to try something new. Electrical stimulation is equally suitable for both men and women.
Electro sex is also popular in the BDSM realm. The master or mistress sends electrical waves to the submissive sub or subby, thereby clearly demonstrating their power. Even outside the BDSM world, electro sex is interesting. It is especially desired by couples looking for something more. When you know each other well enough and need something new, electro sex is an exciting novelty between the sheets.
We advise beginners to avoid this area. There are tons of toys to get acquainted with before you start with electrical stimulation: dildo, vibrator, penis ring, anal plug, ... After that, you can start exploring new areas like BDSM and electro sex.
Electrical stimulation is not suitable for people with heart problems, cancerous diseases or other serious health issues, epilepsy, or those with an implanted pacemaker. Its use is also strictly advised against for pregnant women.
Electro sex toys should not be used on the area of the eyes, head, chest (except those designed for it), nor on injured parts of the body.
Let us give you some tips. Use only verified toys designed for electrostimulation. Under no circumstances should products be used on the chest, as this could disrupt the functioning of the heart. The same applies to the throat, eyelids, piercings, damaged skin, or anywhere on the head. The golden rule, therefore: avoid areas of the heart, neck, and brain. The exception is verified nipple clamps.
Do not use the toy if it is damaged. Before you put it away and store it, turn off the electrical stimulation.
Before using it on the body, you should practice on the hand, thigh, or forearm to get a better feel. Progress slowly. Always start with the electrodes at the lowest setting. Don't jump right to the highest, hardest, or most intense level. Let your body get used to the sensations of electrical stimulation. Over time, you can increase this intensity.
If you want to use toys in combination with lubricant, check the material of the toys. Never use silicone toys with silicone-based lubricant, but with water-based lubricant instead.
A renowned brand in the field of electro sex is the brand Mystim, which designs and manufactures various types of electro toys from high-quality materials.
