Dangers Of Erotic Electrostimulation (BDSM activities). Must Read! by Nobody: 2:43am On May 05, 2020*

Who has heard about

EROTIC ELECTROSTIMULATION?

(abbreviated e-stim and also known as electrosex) is a sexual practice involving the application of electrical stimulation to the nerves of the body, with particular emphasis on the genitals, using a power source (such as a TENS, EMS, violet wands, or made-for-play units) for purposes of sexual stimulation

Electrostimulation has been associated with BDSM activities, and erotic electrostimulation is an evolution of that practice.

Electrostimulation, in general, can cause tissue damage or even death if misused.

The most common problems arising from electrostimulation tend to be burns from lack of sufficiently wide surface contact, i.e. bad contact, between the electrode and the skin's surface.

Even at relatively low current and voltage, there is also the risk of interference with normal heart function (potentially including cardiac arrest), and this risk is higher for those who use an artificial pacemaker or similar device or who have heart conditions.

Because of this, it is not advisable to place the electrical contacts in such a way that the current passes through the chest cavity

A few cases of accidental death as a result of autoerotic electrostimulation have been reported in the forensic science literature; the cases reported involved mains-powered, self-made devices, with current passing through the chest intentionally (usually via nipple stimulation) or unintentionally (for instance, touching an energized part with a hand).

In one case reported in the press, a man from York, Pennsylvania was sentenced to 20–40 years in prison for third-degree murder and reckless endangerment after killing his wife with electrostimulation to her nipples directly from a power strip plugged into the mains.

Electroconductive gels play an important role in the success of erotic electrostimulation since without it, there is a greater risk of high-current skin burning. Water-based lubricants are generally recommended.
