What is Electroplay?
Electroplay is a form of sensation play that uses mild electric current to stimulate the body’s nerve endings and induce pleasure. When the electric simulation is focused on the genitals, the electroplay is referred to as electrosex. Electroplay requires a special device that generates electrical currents and delivers them to sensational body parts such as the vagina, clitoris, nipples, penis, and scrotum. Many devices are designed explicitly for electrosex, ranging from violet wands to wearable wands.
To start, it’s best to opt for a lower voltage electro-play device (preferably a 9V powered device), as this will allow you to ease into the experience. Then, once you’ve become more comfortable with electroplay, you can explore devices with higher voltage settings and those plugged into the mains.
The electroplay stimulation can range from a gentle tingling sensation to a powerful jolt of energy and heightened sexual satisfaction controlled by adjustable intensity dials and remotes. The stimulation intensity is unique to each individual and depends on the devices and settings used.
Electroplay can be used to explore a partner’s body in a new way or to push boundaries and explore new forms of pleasure. But with electroplay, it’s essential to understand that it’s a hard limit for many people. Although it’s an incredibly sensual and enjoyable experience, many fear having electric currents applied to them. So it’s essential to understand your limits and that you’re comfortable and consenting, especially if incorporating electroplay into your BDSM lifestyle.
What Does Electroplay Feel Like?
Electroplay can be a delightful experience, but it’s understandable to have hesitations when unfamiliar with the sensation play. So let’s unravel this mystery and explore electrosex’s physical, mental and emotional experience.
The Physical Experience of Electrosex
When it comes to the physical sensations of electrosex, it’s first essential to understand that it is not painful. Electroplay is intended to feel quite pleasant. Some compare the feeling to a tiny pinprick or a gentle tingle on the skin. Depending on the attachment and the level of intensity you choose, you can control the sensation you experience, making it as intense or gentle as you like.
The Mental Experience of Electroplay
When you are engaging in electrosex, many people find they can reach a mental state of bliss. This is because the stimulation can cause a release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones. This can result in deep relaxation and allow you to feel completely connected with your partner.
The Emotional Experience of Electrosex
The emotional experience of electrosex can be pretty profound. As it can cause a deep connection between partners, many people find it can enhance their relationship and help to increase intimacy. For some, this can be a powerful and emotional experience, allowing them to explore and share deeper levels of trust and love.
So, now that we’ve explored electroplay’s physical, mental and emotional experience, you can see why it can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience– you need to overcome your fears.

Definition of Common Electroplay Terms
1. Electrodes: Conductive items used to deliver electricity to the body, which are made of metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, unique conductive rubber, and silicone. Electrodes in electroplay and electrosex encompass devices such as vaginal and butt plugs, probes, rings, and boards.
2. Wand: A tool used to deliver low-current, high-frequency electricity to the body in a focused manner. It consists of a power cable, a collet to connect electrodes, and a cone to keep stray currents from jumping directly to the skin.
3. Wattage: A measurement of electrical power, also known as the amount of energy used by an electroplay device.
4. Voltage: The rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit, usually expressed in volts (V).
5. Hertz: a measure of frequency or the number of electrical impulses per second applied to the tissue.
6. Intensity: Intensity measures the strength or power of a stimulatory impulse. Usually measured in milliamps (mA).
7. Adaptors: Special devices used to connect electro-stim devices to other electrical outlets or power sources.
8. Connectors: Devices used to connect electrodes to an electro estim device.
9. Cables: Wires or cords used to transmit electrical signals in electroplay.
10. Unipolar: Electrical stimulation that uses a single current-carrying electrode.
11. Bipolar: Electrical stimulation that utilizes two oppositely charged electrodes. Bipolar stimulation typically has greater specificity and more controlled stimulation than unipolar stimulation.
12. Power Box: An electrostimulation device with multiple outputs and settings.
13. Conductive Gel: A substance used to increase the conductivity between the electrodes and the skin, allowing for proper transmission of produced electrical currents. The gel also reduces the risk of high-current skin burning.

It sends low electrical pulses through the skin, stimulating nerve and muscle fibers, thus reducing pain-transmitting signals. Sir M uses this TENS Unit from myStim to play with his slave L.
18. Electro pads: Devices that deliver electrical current to a larger body area. Electro pads are usually square or round and are made from unique conductive rubber or carbon fiber material that helps to distribute the electrical current evenly. Slave Lisa enjoys the sensation of the electro pad that Sir M uses on her.
19. Electro-orgasm: Electroorgasm is an intense and pleasurable sensation generated by applying electrical stimulation to the genitals.
20. Pulse: A pulse is an electrical charge composed of a series of impulses quickly delivered to the skin tissues to generate a stimulating response.
How to Pleasure Your Partner with Electroplay/Electrosex
Want to make electrosex a surprise and pleasure to your partner in ways they’ve never experienced before? Here are four ways to do exactly that:
1. CBT Electroplay
In this electroplay, you subject your partner to shock stimulation through their balls or penis using electrostimulation toys such as CBT boards, probes, and cock rings. The electric shock sensation is unique, giving a mixed feeling of pleasure and pain. This electroplay form is excellent for femdom or male slavery plays in BDSM.

2. Electroplay Prostate Massage
Electroplay prostate massage can be a pleasure for those who appreciate a more in-depth experience. While electroplay is active, you use a prostate massager to massage and stimulate the prostate. This combination of electrosex and prostate massage can give an intense experience for the receiver.
3. Breasts Electroplay
Another form of electroplay is using it with the breasts; electrodes stimulate the nipples and areolas, providing a pleasing sensation. Even though it is generally accepted that electrostimulation should be done below the waist to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference for people who use pacemakers, breast play is still possible with electrodes designed to stimulate this area safely.
4. Electrosex Inserts
Electrosex inserts are usually used vaginally or anally to provide stimulation and pleasure. Vaginal or anal electroplay and electro plugs can be combined to give these areas a pleasurable electric shock sensation.
These forms of electroplay can be an out-of-this-world experience. Explore and bring pleasure to you and your partner!
Preparing for Your First Electro-Experience
If you’re considering trying electroplay for the first time, here are some essential basics you’ll need to know:
1. Fears: One of the most critical aspects of electroplay is overcoming any fear or apprehension you may have. It’s important to understand that electroplay usually involves controlled, low-voltage electricity, which is generally considered safe when done with the proper equipment and caution. That said, you can talk to your partner about your fears and work together to create a plan to help you overcome them.
2. Safety: The most important thing when it comes to electroplay is understanding the basics of electricity and safety. Working with electricity can be dangerous if not done correctly, so make sure to follow all the essential safety guidelines, like using electro-conductive gel, keeping standard measurements such as voltage, frequency, and intensity on the electrical equipment, and having a sober partner. Find more information about electroplay safety here.
3. Equipment: You’ll need to gather the correct equipment for your electroplay experience. This could include a violet wand, probes and electrodes, cables, a timer, connectors and adapters, and a power box. Look for kits explicitly designed for electroplay with pre-tested and certified elements to ensure your safe experience.

4. Anatomy: Different destinations of the body respond differently to electroplay. When preparing for your experience, it’s essential to understand the various locations and how different intensity levels will feel in each. As discussed earlier, specific areas used for electroplay are the nipples, penis, clitoris, scrotum, and anus.
5. Expectations: As with any form of BDSM, communication and trust are vital. Before starting, discuss what you’re each comfortable with and any boundaries. Talk with your partner about what kinds of electrostimulations they are ok with and which ones they would like to try. You should go into the experience knowing what to expect and continue talking and checking in throughout the experience.
Incorporating Electroplay in Your BDSM Session
It’s time to power up the toys and get playing. But before you send those high-frequency pulses to your partner’s body and engage them in electrosex, there are a few things you need to do.
First, check the intended area of play. Ensure that skin is not broken, burned, or bruised and that there are no moles or sensitivities. Secondly, check and confirm that the area is free of any restrictions, like clothing or jewelry. Lastly, apply a thin layer of conductive gel to the skin to ensure optimal conductivity and reduce the risk of burns.
Now, use your preferred electroplay device to give your partner complimentary sensations: electrical twitching, pulsing, thrusting, and other sexual pleasers. Experiment with different electrodes, settings, and toys; there isn’t a “one size fits all” method for BDSM electroplay. Once you’ve reached a point where you and your partner thoroughly enjoy the experience, it’s time to switch off the electroplay device.
Aftercare is an integral part of any BDSM activity, and electroplay is no exception. Spend some time afterward cuddling and talking, and make sure the experience has been pleasurable and meaningful. Take some time to inspect the play areas and ensure no bruises or burns. You must always keep your first aid kit handy if you notice a skin condition or other issue that needs immediate attention after your electroplay. If you need to see a physician, don’t hesitate.
Combining Electroplay/Electrosex with Other BDSM Activities
Electrosex can also be combined with other activities to broaden your BDSM play!
Let’s start with impact play. You can mix the shocking pleasure of electrosex with the pain and pleasure of impact plays such as spanking and flogging. This can be incredibly stimulating for you and your partner, giving both a painful and pleasurable experience. And you can have it actually together in one kinky tool, the Electro Shock Leather Whip (on Amazon.com):
Combining electroplay with bondage can also give excellent results. Applying electric stimulation to bondage allows you both to experience new sensations. If you have soft-bondage materials, you can also use them with electric stimulation. Adding a bondage sheet on top of the playing piece will allow for different intensity levels. You can even place electrical bands in addition to cuffs on your partner’s lower body parts to experience further electrosex sensations.
Using your imagination, electrosex and BDSM activities can be combined in lots of fun and exciting ways. For example, try combining electrosex with sensory deprivation. Covering your partner’s eyes and applying electrical stimulation to sensitive areas can create an ultra-stimulating experience.
Ensure your partner’s safety above all else, and remember to use the appropriate intensity levels for different BDSM activities and body parts. Electroplay can be a very intense BDSM activity, so starting slow is essential if it’s your first time combining activities. But once you feel more confident and comfortable, let your creativity run free!
Warning Signs to Look Out For When Practicing Electroplay/Electrosex
As mentioned severally in this post, with electroplay or electrosex, it’s essential to practice safety every time, as risks can often be hidden. Here are some warning signs to look out for to ensure an optimal and safe electroplay experience:
1. Check the device before and during use. Constant physical inspection is vital for any device which generates electricity, especially for the cables and grounding leads. Look for any frays in the wires or loose connections and check for heat above normal.
2. Monitor skin closely. While different people will have different sensations to electroplay, burning and stinging are always warning signs of something wrong. If this happens, remove the device immediately. Also, pay close attention to the skin during and after the scene for any marks, bruises, or burns.
3. Be aware of usage. Don’t use electrosex on wet skin, as this can cause unsafely high levels of electricity to transfer. Also, avoid using glass bottles or electrodes not made with shock-safe materials.
4. Lastly, know your limits. Especially if this is your first time trying out electroplay, starting slow with lower settings and levels is best. As with all BDSM plays, hard and soft limits are essential in electroplay and must be discussed beforehand.
If you follow these basic safety guidelines, you’ll indeed have an enjoyable and safe electroplay experience.
