Electrosex, electrostimulation, e-stim, e-toys... Eh, what!?
Don't worry, we have the answers: Electricity and sex may be an "old" phenomenon, but they are only just gaining the popularity they deserve. No wonder! Technology, toys and the desire for them are currently experiencing an absolute peak, which is really fun - and can really be fun for each of you!
Electricity games can of course be part of SM practices, but they don't have to be! Whether you want to live in the middle of Electric City or would rather enjoy a quieter suburb is entirely up to you.
In general, if you follow a few basic rules, electrosex is a safe and incredibly exciting highlight that you should definitely try out for yourself.

What is electrosex?
Electrosex is generally understood to mean the pleasurable inclusion of electronic impulses in sexual acts.
It is also referred to as electrostimulation, or E-Stim for short. The hardware used is generally referred to as E-Stim toys or E-Stim devices – we will come to the most important differences in a moment.
The term electrosex stands for a wide and exciting field that can range from gentle foreplay to intense penetration to long climaxes. So from gentle to hard and from stimulating to exciting.
This incomparable tingling sensation, which can send the whole body into ecstasy, can be enjoyed alone or with a partner – or with three people... ;-)
How does electrosex work?
Our body contains many sensitive nerve endings and pathways that transmit information, such as touch, to our brain. And our body itself constantly sends electrical impulses for this exchange of information. Because: blowing on the skin, gently stroking and of course a kiss or sex, our body converts a "touch of nerve endings" into an electrical impulse that it sends to the brain as stimulation. A touch is therefore always an "indirect" electrical impulse in the body.
Smart Dirty Talk:
E-Stim devices and toys literally speak our body language fluently: Without the need for translation, the electrical impulse shoots directly to the brain! ... and excites us so phenomenally that we release copious amounts of endorphins.
There are a particularly large number of sensitive nerve endings in the intimate area, which wait there like a large playground for the raging E-Stim impulses.
For this stimulating communication in the body, we have to touch a positive and a negative pole at the same time so that electricity can flow through us - and exactly between the electrical poles lies the place where the magic happens!
There are many exciting possibilities for this: Toys with two integrated conductive surfaces, toys with a conductive surface and an adhesive electrode as a counterpole, E-Stim devices with two or more electrodes and toys that can be attached precisely in and on erogenous zones, and many more... There are no limits to your imagination - at least not when it comes to technology! ;-)
High-quality E-Stim toys and E-Stim devices have easy-to-use controls and pre-installed programs that make electrical stimulation a playful and intuitive matter of setting.
E-Sex: Guide for Beginners
The excitement is building: the first time you're having electrosex is just around the corner. But don't worry, nothing can go wrong. We've put together the most important devices, vocabulary and practices for a great first e-stim adventure.
The hardware: E-Stim device or E-Stim toy
The broad field of e-toys can be divided into two large categories, in addition to many subtle differences: Firstly, there are universal “e-stim devices” to which countless toys and electrodes, etc. can be connected – and there are independently functioning “toys with built-in e-stim”.
E-Stim device:
These smart control centers are like the command bridges for all thrilling excursions into the infinite expanses - and depths - of electrosex! There are no limits to your sexual imagination when you fine-tune the controls from gentle to hard, constant to rhythmic or pulsating to thrusting. Whether classic or modern: the exciting pleasure consoles are available in digital and analogue versions.
Docked:
Which E-Stim toy you connect depends on the situation, your desire or each individual: There are dildos, anal plugs, penis cages, gloves, love balls or pairs of electrodes for completely individual and stimulating E-Stim sessions.
Multi-Player:
Two-channel devices like the Tension Lover or the Pure Vibes can also power two toys or pairs of electrodes at the same time and ensure double the fun (for couples)! The Zeus of E-Stim devices is the Cluster Buster. It can even shoot its lightning into an infinite number of toys and catapults absolutely anyone into the electrosex Olympus with eight independent and individually adjustable channels. Wireless remote included!
Toys with built-in E-Stim:
E-Stim to go (crazy!). Because with E-Stim vibrators and the like, which are equipped with their own pulse generator and conductive surfaces, you get just as much tingling but less hardware. The E-intensity is easy to adjust using various pre-programmed pampering modes. An easy way to get started and turn yourself and others into electrosex fans at the touch of a button, either gently or quickly and intensively. Our Tickling Truman is happy to welcome new fans...
Turn it ON: Tips for getting started
We recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the electrical stimulation device “outside of your body”. The best way to do this is to experiment a little with the e-toy in your hand:
Hold an e-toy or a toy that is connected to an e-stim device with both hands so that both poles/conductive surfaces have skin contact.
Only now(!) switch on the power/switch on the E-Stim device. Don't worry, E-Toys and E-Stim devices automatically start at a low intensity.
Get to know the impulses and stimuli with your hands and try out different intensities. But be careful: the current is evenly distributed on the palms of your hands and generally when there is surface contact with the skin. If you only touch both poles with two fingertips, the current is concentrated on two small areas (the fingertips) and suddenly becomes more intense. So don't be alarmed and avoid it if possible!
Accessories for advanced users: lubricants, toys, etc.
If you are already a little more familiar with electrosex, nothing can shock you so easily... But we would still like to introduce you to a few very sensual, worthwhile and perhaps still rather unknown gadgets.
For more volts in the vagina and tingling e-rections ... :-)
“E-lubricant”:
Make sure you use e-stim-optimized lubricants that are compatible with your toys, your condoms and the conductivity. Yes, there are special lubricants - like Bonnie & Glide or The Godfather - that not only glide smoothly, but also conduct with pleasure. A real e-dream! Tip: In general, make sure that the lubricants are well tolerated by your skin and avoid products that contain unhealthy chemicals!
For him: Penis loops are fun in general, but with E-Stim they are so incredibly stimulating that you never want to take the head out of the loop again. A tingling set of two like Rodeo Robin is fun alone or with company. Simply put it on, tighten it, turn it open and go wild.
For him: Penis cages These make bad boys very well behaved and good girls sometimes bad. Penis cages with E-Stim like the Public Enemy No. 1 not only keep the dick in check, they also pamper him with electrical impulses while he waits for his freedom - from sweet to nasty...
For her: Love balls They allow for deep vaginal penetration, which stimulates with every movement, no matter how small. The pleasure center and the pelvic floor, which are optimally trained by pleasure balls, are happy. Especially when gentle electric shocks stimulate the vaginal walls and the surrounding muscles.
For him and her: Probes - There are small e-toys in a variety of shapes that can be used to explore and pamper a wide variety of places. They are light, handy, offer plenty of freedom of movement and bring the e-stim impulses exactly where they should go.
Is electrical stimulation dangerous or hazardous to health?
In principle, the stimulation current in e-toys is harmless if you use them correctly according to the instructions and do not modify them. For the best possible safety, the following rules must be observed:
The most important rule : never perform E-Stim above the belt line. Avoid the areas of the heart, neck and brain at all costs! The most important exception to this rule: nipple clamps! For example, our hungry Barry Bite model, which can safely nibble on both nipples at the same time with two bi-polar clamps - or even on the labia. Gold-edged E-Stim kick included!
Other no-gos are: E-stim with a heart defect or pacemaker without a doctor's consultation, E-stim during pregnancy, E-stim in connection with flammable objects/liquids. How can I check this? Electricity always seeks the shortest path between the two poles. This is the rule that can always be used to check whether the current is flowing through one of the three prohibited areas - brain, heart or throat.
Skin care during electrosex – tips against skin irritations
The issue of skin irritation is particularly relevant with electrodes and there are a few things to consider – whether self-adhesive or with external fastening material:
Then gently clean the bonded areas with soap and water.
Trim hair at bonding points with scissors and do not shave.
Do not reapply any irritated areas.
Cables should always be positioned or attached in such a way that there is no pulling or tugging on the electrode.
Burns from electrical stimulation devices?
Getting hot: Yes. Burns: No! The current strength and frequency are – quite deliberately – too weak for that.
However, intimate piercings and metal spirals can attract electricity and possibly heat up. The following applies here: clarify the material of the spiral (with your gynecologist) and simply remove the piercing if it develops heat.
Prejudices OFF: E-Sex is SM!?
Not necessarily, but of course it can! And to be honest: without the pioneering spirit of the SM and BDSM scene, the technology, the toys and the growing curiosity about volts in the bedroom would probably still be at the level of the first light bulb. So electrosex can definitely be SM - but it can also be anything you feel like.
The variety of high-quality and very different e-toys shows that in addition to intense climaxes, softer sounds, long-lasting stimulation and lasting effects, such as well-trained pelvic floor muscles, make up “socially acceptable” electrosex.
But as I said: The boundaries between tingling foreplay and pulsating punishments are not only fluid, but with good toys they can also be adjusted continuously ;-)
And now have fun!
