Today I learnt about a horrifying new fetish called e-stim. People (it works on men and women) connect electrodes to their genitals and send electricity through them. The electricity can have different features changed, like amperage (I think? which controls how strong the sensation is), frequency, waveform, and other stuff.

It was derived from the genuine medical use of TENS, a use for which fetish and medical units can generally be used interchangeably. Despite what it says on that box, it isn’t to do with enlargement.

I always knew people used electricity in BDSM, but I assumed it was purely for the sadistic pain-causing side. I’m surprised to learn it can be used for what I’ve read is a sometimes very pleasurable purpose.

Maybe I’m admitting to my kinky leanings here, for which I should be ashamed, but I’m quite intrigued by this. Electricity + the human body aren’t two things I would normally want anywhere near each other, but in this case the more I read the more I think “I want to try this one day!”.

Don’t judge.
