connecting output(s) from home stereos to the body, ‘tazers’ used for personal protection
and by law enforcement and a variety of other adapted or homemade devices. Devices in
this group, in my opinion, have the greatest potential for risk / danger. I base my
conclusion on the fact that few, if any of these devices, were designed for or intended to
be used for ‘e-stim’ let alone on the human body. They can produce far more current
than is safe (current, not voltage, burns/kills). Few, if any, of the AC powered devices are
properly ‘isolated’. Most of these devices do NOT produce sensations the average person
would describe as or consider erotic! My advice, especially for those with little to no
experience, is only use devices intended for use on the human body. Only the most
knowledgeable, skilled, and well trained electro stim aficionados should adapt and/or use
devices such as animal training products, stereo equipment, telephone equipment, train
transformers, electric fence units, etc. In general, it is safer to use devices powered by a
battery(ies) such as TENS units. The amount of power available from a battery is limited
(still enough to kill). Insulation and isolation on AC powered units can fail. Even if
something fails in a battery powered device and/or if you touch a grounded object /
surface, you have a much better chance of continuing to enjoy life!
Connecting Stim Devices
You just got TENs or a commercial estim unit. How, where, why do you connect it?
How includes commercially available products to improvised methods ranging from
aluminum foil to wire! Commercial (medical & kink) products offer the greatest
flexibility. Usually the medical/therapeutic electrodes are less expensive than ‘estim’
products. Many companies make/see 'unique' vaginal, penile, and anal plugs/dildos out of

Self adhesive electrodes come in ‘one time
disposable and ‘reusable styles. There are many
sizes and shapes with a variety of connection
methods. (on R) Sharing electrodes is a bad
idea. You can keep electrodes used on you,
usually they can be reused several times.
The way electrodes are connected to their lead
wires and the way lead wires are connected to
stim devices is so varied there is no practical

insulating powder and particles of carbon or metal. The violet wand’s high voltage easily
jumps the gap(s) between conductive particles in the ball chain isolator. High voltage will
also jump the gap between the metal post/shaft below the bulb adapter and a light bulb’s
metal contact. Please do not ‘improvise’ nor use homemade tips!
