Erotic Electrostimulation: The Risks and Pleasures of E-Stim

A Jolt of Electro-Pleasure!

If the first image that pops into you head when you read the words erotic electrostimulation (e-stim) involves a torture scene replete with a cattle prod wielding sadist and tied up victim, you can forget about the cattle prod. As for the BDSM imagery, well, that hits a bit closer to home. BDSM enthusiasts are a primary marketing group for e-stim products.

That doesn’t imply that modern e-stim products are designed to produce physical pain . They don’t. They’re generally powered by a 9-volt battery, and the jolt is a waveform that produces a tingling sensation along with muscle contractions. Of course, there are all kinds of pain including those that are purely psychological. Edging a person for hour after hour with the help of an e-stim device, is certainly one way to take them to the boundary of pain and back.

There are risks involved with the use of e-stim products, the worse being death from cardiac arrest. The devices can also cause tissue damage or deliver an uncomfortable zap, particularly if the electrodes are improperly attached. You definitely need to read the product warnings and operating instructions before using any e-stim product.

Risk factors and popular misconceptions aside, the whole point of e-stim is pleasure. There is nothing quite like the sensation an e-stim device can deliver. For some men, the use of device in combination with a simple electrode is enough to produce an orgasm. For other men, it’s not that simple and orgasm is not always the desired effect.

For edgers, e-stim devices provide considerable control over stimulation and can help get you to the edge, stay there longer, and pull you back. For others, e-stim is one sensation that in combination with other erotic stimulation can produce intense sexual pleasure and release. Everyone is a bit different and the sensations e-stim produces varies from person to person.

To help maximize the pleasure of using e-stim and customize the sensation, there are a wide variety of electrodes available. It can get pretty expensive, but there are electro ball vices, electro jock straps, a wide variety of electro rings, electro butt plugs, inflatable electro probes, and just about anything else you can imagine running a current through to produce an erotic sensation. It is inadvisable to use any electrode that attaches above the waist. E-stim is not suitable for nipple play, collars, or anything attached to the head.

Many devices come with audio and microphone inputs that allow users to turn voice and music into stimulation. It certainly gives a whole new meaning to your favorite song or talking to your self. It also provides for infinite variation in the waveforms and erotic sensations e-stim can produce.

E-stim is not cheap and given the nature of the device quality should never be sacrificed for price. The power units go for a few hundred dollars on up, and electrodes range from a few dollars to several hundred depending on their function. Add in a wireless remote and you can easily exceed $500 out the door costs.

Is E-stim for you? Well, assuming you don’t have pacemaker, can read product warnings and follow instructions, how much is erotic pleasure worth to you? E-stim provides a unique erotic experience that can’t readily be duplicated by any other means. It can add more than a tingle to a masturbation session and flat out get you off.

  1. Thanks for this great explanation of the fundamentals, which many people misunderstand. e-stim isn’t like an electric chair, or being hit by lightening (although sometimes the effect is as impressive.

    I especially enjoy using it on a sub I’ve immobilized, like a cellophane wrap, or just restrained in any usual way. But he can’t move, and that’s the fun. It takes a few times for them to realize that e-stim can be enjoyable to the point of unloading, and immobilization combined with edging and e-stim is so erotic . . . one of my favorite things to do to a boy.

    But the most fun is to put a current-enabled prostate message into the boy’s butt before restraining him, then place electrodes wherever seems like fun at the time. I have separate current lines for each device, so I can get him off to a fast start with electrodes on his balls, cock, butt and cock, then run the three sets, including prostate massage at the same time, back off the current delivered to the prostate, and should his mind ever wander (and usually my subs know better than to lose concentration lol) I can turn the prostate current back up. It’s a great way to edge a guy and then bring him off instantly when I decide the time is right.

    I’ve been using e-stim with the subs for maybe 10 years, and as you comment, it can be painful or pure pleasure. So with the same device I use for punishment, I have full control over my boy, his man-parts, his sensation and the time he cums. It’s a lot of fun (to do to yourself, as well) and with a bit of time you’ll be amazed at the intensity in an orgasm you get from a few pieces of wire and a bit of current.

    1. I am a most senior citizen with diabetes that has taken its toll on sexual activity. I don’t understand all I know about it but am told it destroys the nerve endings in my reproduction area. My sexual desire is as strong as it ever was. Using a vibrator and some appropriate internet stimulation I usually can eventually have an orgasm, usually taking 45 minutes to an hour and there have been many times in the last almost 20 years I simply tired out and stopped frustrated and without orgasm. I have tried using tinge units with absolutely no success.

      It sounds like you might be “in the business” of electronic stimulation. Do you construct and sell your system and if so I would like to know how to obtain one or offer your services. I note in the post time you are in MST. I am in CST very near the New Mexico Border, the state I think in in MST zone. I look forward to your response.

      1. eStim does not destroy nerve endings if you use appropriate kit. For full, unbiased details, visit smartstim.com .

    2. I wishi could find someone like you in the grand rapids mi area. J have been fascinated with e-stim for a long time and never been able to find anyone to use me as a sub.

    3. How would you like another eager sub. Been addicted to e-stim for years but very limited. Always solo and only with a TENS unit. I have out grown this and need to expand my experiences.

  2. Slightly cautionary word. I got heavily into electrostim usint a TENS machine which was the cheapest option. My genitals had a really good time and my masturbation quotient went off the clock but I have to give a word of warning because I finished up with a permanent tingling in my balls. Not too big a deal because it is not unpleasant but it did make me give up stimming. I would suggest, then, that the safest way forward is not to be like me and take the cheap option with a TENS but to spend the money and get the proper kit.

  3. I too am a senior that went through a prostate surgery and have a difficult time to get an erection and so masturbation is not an option. But estim has been a wonderful way to attain sexual satisfaction. I highly recommend it for any like me. It’s absolutely fabulous you can get the same feeling of an orgasm.

    1. hi, more or less the same, take Flomax to ease swollen prostate problems. so do you get a dry orgasm idea? Thanks

    2. I too had prostate surgery. i still masturbate even without the erection. i can still get myself off, just no mess to clean up!. i don’t understand you saying masturbation is not an option, its just not the same as having a throbbing shaft in your hand, still satisfying tho. i sometimes use my tens unit, but its not a necessity

      1. I had my prostate removed too. So no real boner and no cum, but the sensations are still there. It took me a while to find the best JO aid. I settled on the magic wand (esp. the rechargeable one with differeent settings.) So I watvch porn and put the head of the wand n my cock and wow! I used to use the highest vibration settings, but now I know the lower ones work best. If I’m turned on it can take 5 minutes for a great orgasm. The orgasms start in my ankles and slowly ride up to my crotch. I still get pre-cum.

  4. Estim is awesome. It’s incredibly erotic, intense, and pleasurable. If playing with others, be sure they know what they’re doing – never hand over the power box to someone who is not familiar with the sensations it produces. There is a fine line between intense pleasure – and pain.

    1. I have been addicted to estim for about 8-9 years. All I have ever used is a TENS unit. Anxious to try others. I have always been solo but have a tremendous desire for an experienced person to play with. How in the world do you go about finding someone?

  5. I’ve recently bought a kit and so fare, not impressed. I have tried the pads, they are not good at all for penis stimulation. They just hurt. I’ve tried a conductive sock, but I didn’t enjoy it either. My main problem is that as so as that first electrical jolt (the first one strong enough to feel) I immediately lose my erection. I don’t have ED, I don’t have problem with getting or keeping one, but estim just seems to kill my erection. Anyone else have that problem with it? .

  6. E-stim is fantastic. One of the best results is cumming without having an erection. I place one pad on the back of my penis and he other one covering my anus. The pleasure is unbelievable.

  7. I’ve been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I never discovered any fascinating article like yours.
    It’s pretty value sufficient for me. In my view, if
    all site owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will be a lot more helpful than ever before.

  8. Just a word of warning, I got into electrostim a couple of years ago using a Boots TENS machine and the sensations were fantastic – addictive even. I stimmed my cock and balls daily, even went out with my cock wired up sometimes and it was really something going about my normal business with my genitals in a state of near ecstasy. So why the word of warning? In the fullness of time I developed a permanent tingling in my balls. Not painful and not really a significant problem but it is still there and, it seems obvious now after a couple of years, is permanent. Probably I should have used more sophisticated equipment but that TENS machine really did the business for me. So take my advice, do your research thoroughly and don’t stint on the equipment

    1. I too went out with it wired up. A few months later I developed atrial fibrillation (irregular
      heartbeat). Not sure if estim was the cause. The atrial fib is under controlled with medicine.
      I tried estim again, so far, two times, and both time it triggered the afib a day later.
      Wonder if anyone else have the same experience.

  9. i have a tens unit i use for the same stimuli. just change the placement of the electrodes and make different sensations happen! you can adjust everything-wave lengths,duration,strobe,intensity. its really erotic

  10. A cautionary word. A year or two ago I got into genital e-stimmming using a Boots Tens unit and quickly became an ardent fan, not to say addict – the sensations were exquisite. However, in the long term there turned out to be a downside for me in that I developed residual tingling sensations in my balls which proved to be permanent and which I still have today. This is not a huge problem, the sensations are not unpleasant but, on balance, I would rather be able to have control over when I experience them. So my tip would be to be aware of this possible problem and research it at an early stage.

  11. Really curious about the small estim devices i see on amazon. Anybody tried them? My boners are softening as i age, so a surefire buzz would b real welcome. So guys report bigger loads too. True?

  12. Thank you for your comments. I never bought
    this device. And, I am not sure. I want one.
    I believe some persons have luck. Others, well ,
    I guess they wish they never fooled with mother
    nature just for a thrill. Each device, I suppose,
    has its own risk. Yes, read the instructions carefully. Possibly, everything will be dandy.

  13. For my Tens I made my own electro rings. Hardware store: Steel rings one for penis size and one for around balls & cock. Then purchase hose adjustable clamps that fit the size of the rings. With the ring place the hose clamp over and tighten-up. You will find that the Tens pin slips into the opening on either side of the hose clamp. Enjoy. And its cheap way and it will get you off.

  14. Mike Williams

    Been stimming fo 4 years an NEVER had that issue. YES you get a tingling after a long session but no anywhere near permanent.

    I still use a TENS 2000 but I want to get an EROSTEK. gotta save those pennies. The full settings are still pleasurable but right on the cusp of pain. The pain only happens you make contact before you ‘snug’ up. You need to make sure you have full contact. Pleasure is intense.

  15. Tried e-stem for the 1st time this weekend. Bought FortTRoph’s Electro Max Kit. Primarily interested in the anal /butt plug. Seems like it worked like was supposed to, but I was disappointed. I do my stuff solo, and kind of sit at my “bate station” while playing like this. He wires were inserted at the bottom of the plug, so no matter what I tried, they didn’t stay plugged in. Oh well. Not that interested in the other applications, but then again there was a time when I wouldn’ t have been interested in anything anal either!

  16. Hi I also estim, have been for at least 15 years now. I have an ET312B that is probably the dearest on the market. Have tried a few elecctroids but find that the stainless steeel rings are by far the best. I use one on the bottom of the shaft of my cock and one just under the head. The real trick though is to find estim music to stim too that suits you. There are plenty on the net if you look. I have a number of pieces that gogether play for about an hour and fifteen minutes. I connect from a laptop to the audio on the ET312B switch it on and lay back, watch gay porn and enjoy. It is like having hands playing with your cock and jacking it for you. I am 83 and have also had a prostate operation and need an injection in my cock to give me an erection. I have never had any adverse reactions over the years I have been stimming. I love it.

  17. So I started e-stim a long time ago when I didn’t even know it had a name, used to have an old Phillips radio & discovered that when it was tuned to static I could get some mind blowing orgasms from connecting the positive of a speaker channel to my penis & inserting the antenna into my urethra (I know< not the safest thing to do) I was young & thought with my penis. I have being doing estim in various ways for many many years & have now progressed to a more professional machine. I too have had Prostate surgery though mine was to open the urethra as I couldn't empty my bladder, I now suffer from retrograde ejaculations (dry orgasms) & found that estim is the only thing that really gets me off & therefore tend to over do it, which brings me to my question. Can too much of a good thing be bad, Can E-stim be the cause of the erection difficulties & can it be killing my nerves. I will say some of my electrodes aren't quite standard, in that I have a 00Gauge prince Albert piercing that is often my first electrode & a stainless steel Bow shackle 50mm diameter that fits behind my whole package as the second electrode

  18. I started stimming about 5 years ago, I’m an older guy that can sometimes misfire when trying to get hard so I tried estim, and after some trial and error I took the plunge and got an Erostek 312B. The results were amazing, addictive even. I can have a hands free orgasm on demand, the standard routines that come with the device are not bad, but I soon found myself searching online for downloadable routines/MP4 estim files, there are hundreds available, some free, some not- but the free ones I found, especially the cock hero series, does what the name implies- it kicks cock ass. You can download them to your phone or tablet, then connect them to the 312B and into your cock from there. Now, some of the longer routines have frequent breaks/long pauses, which is good for edging- taking you to the brink of cumming then stopping, then kicking back in, to repeat this as long as you want- I downloaded a repeater app for my phone which allows you to cherrypick the best, most intense parts of a routine so you can also cum quickly if you want as opposed to dragging it out- sometimes there isn’t time for a long session- I tried some electrodes that you can buy that are made for the male (and female for the ladies) anatomy but aside from the PES “Big Jim” urethal insert/cock head stimulator, which stimulates the penis from the inside, which is *wild*- I got just as good of results fabricating my own electrodes using lead free plumbing solder. I stim to orgasm probably 4-5 times a week on average, I get hard as a rock within a few minutes and will cum (on average) in 30 minutes or less. With zero ill effects. Just make sure to use plenty of electrode gel to avoid burns.

    1. I am with you, 15 years in for me. No bad side. Sometimes not enough hours in the day ha ha. Those fancy digital things – forget ’em. The 2 channel $60 ones with knobs rule any day, dial it up as you want. I find the old fella needs a bit of a rest for a few days every now and then especially if skin burns occur. A saline spray helps here for a good connection. Like you I make my own rings’n things

  19. I have been using E-Stim 2B system for more than 10 years, with 5cm pads. I use four pads two on each lead, one on top of my cock and the other on one ball, and the second pair on the underneath of my cock and on the other ball. I lay on a rolled up towel to stretch my balls which adds to the feeling in my balls and then make small movements to vary the sensation on my cock and balls. My balls have always been important in my bating. Using the E-Stim has been great as I age and my cock does not stay erect as long as it used to, but the effects are still great whether erect or not. It would be safe to say that I am addicted to estimming!

  20. only been into this e-stim for a few months… have been looking at a while….

    All I can say it is amazing…….

    started with the pads…. then having a large number of cock rings along with stretchers and plugs.

    Ended up using a cock ring round ball and dick and a smaller thick ring just behind gland, both are slipt rings so a bit of quick work and a couple of old pads and have quick connects attached…. they work great…. use a lower power setting than the pads…

    Also no problem was a slight reaction with the pads

    Thanks enjoy for the posts and info

    Cheers

  21. I’ve been using estim for over 50 years. I’ve owned the et312b on three different points in my life and feel there is nothing better out there.I have Erectile Dysfunction because of diabetes and long list of prescription drugs. Estim gives me some relief but it’s getter much more difficult to reach an orgasm. Still, the pleasure thar occurs while trying makes it all worth it.

  22. I bought a Vitatronic TENS device with the following technical data.
    Output voltage: Idling 0 to 80 V.
    With terminating resistor 500 ohms
    Pulse amplitude: measured at terminating resistor 500 ohms; 0 to 90 mA
    (maximum output)
    Frequency: 1-250 Hz

    With this device I manage to trigger an orgasm.

    The one electrode is a Hegar dilator with 12,5mm diameter which is isolated to the top, which I slide into the urethra through the prostate, and the other electrode I slide, Isolated to the front in the anus. With this arrangement, I can optimally stimulate the prostate.
    The electrode for the prostate, I made myself from a Caipirinja ice core metal 20 cm long self-made. For this purpose, I have insulated the upper thin end with insulating tape so that only the thick front side is uninsulated. This end is then inserted into the anus to the prostate.
    The Caipirinja metal ice core can be obtained in the kitchen accessory trade e.g. Hoarding for the price of about 12 euros.
    Have a look at the following link.
    http://www.barstuff.de/index.php?sid=3&prodid=290

    By the way, the polarity can be chosen by feeling. Personally, I have achieved good results, in which I reversed during a season + – (the polarity).
    Just try it out.
    Incidentally, the sperm anyway runs out with me almost without orgasm, but that seems to be normal with 73 years and 27595 masturbation.

  23. I am a 70 year old senior that has been stimming for over 50 years. I can’t remember how I discovered that putting electrodes on my penis and rear end brought me great pleasure but all I knew is that I liked it, a lot.

    After three marriages I’m a widow again with diabetes. The drugs I must take have eliminated my ability to produce an erection. I use an erostek et12b and have for many years. I’ve experimented with a variety of diy electrodes varying from metal shower curtain rings to play doh. By far play doh is the most versatile conductor of electricity and can be molded to any shape. It’s also extremely cheap.

    My last new medication, Sertraline, a generic version of Zoloft, has killed all chance of an erection but does still allow for great pleasure using estim. I occasionally can still climax. Life is good! LOL

    1. Experimenting with Play-Doh. You have any suggestions? I cut a plastic soda bottle in half and packed Play-Doh into the bottom, then hollowed it out around the sides to allow the head of my penis to nestle into it.
      I stuck two negative electrodes directly into the Play-Doh and connected the two positive electrodes to a bipolar anal device.
      It’s pretty incredible, but I’m always open to new ideas. The beauty of estim to me is that it never gets boring. Hardly ever are two sessions similar. I’m having some of the same medication problems as you, but I’m a young whipper-snapper at 67.
      Thanks for your input and contribution.

  24. Just recently bought tens 7000. Great box but if anyone has that model I’m trying to find out the suggested setting for rate and width.
