Erotic electrostimulation
Erotic electrostimulation (pronunciation: /ɪˌrɒtɪk ˌɛlɛktrəʊstɪmjʊˈleɪʃən/), often referred to 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 wand, or made-for-play units) for purposes of sexual stimulation.
Etymology
The term "erotic electrostimulation" is a combination of the words "erotic" (from the Greek eros, meaning "love") and "electrostimulation" (from the Greek electron, meaning "amber", and the Latin stimulare, meaning "to goad").
History
Erotic electrostimulation has its roots in the mid 20th century, when it was discovered that electrical stimulation could have significant effects on the human body. The practice has since evolved and is now used in various forms of sexual play.
Methods
Erotic electrostimulation can be achieved through the use of devices such as electrodes or electrical muscle stimulators. These devices deliver a variety of electrical signals to the body, which can result in a range of sensations, from a gentle tickle to a strong, throbbing pulse.
Safety
As with any form of sexual activity, safety is a primary concern with erotic electrostimulation. It is important to use devices that are specifically designed for this purpose, and to follow all instructions and safety guidelines. It is also recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new sexual practice.
