Are you into thrilling adventures in bed – literally?
Then you may have already come across the topic of electrosex or e-stim. True to the motto: ‘A little sparkle never hurt nobody.’
But wait a minute – what if you use an IUD or Gynefix for contraception? Copper, hormones, gold – could this lead to an unwanted short circuit in your uterus?
Here comes the explanation with a wink!
⚡ What is electrosex anyway?
Electrosex (or fancy: E-Stim) is like an electric shock – but on demand. Gentle electrical impulses are sent through certain areas of the body via electrodes. This can be incredibly stimulating. Or just tingly. Or both – but in the truest sense of the word, it's always one thing: exciting.
But don't worry: the devices for home use are only as naughty as you want them to be. They only work with low voltage and low amperage, so nothing will happen to you – as long as you don't connect the car battery and follow some general safety instructions. If you are not familiar with these, you can read them here.
💡 But electricity and contraception with copper... Does that work?
Do you use an IUD or copper chain for contraception? Awesome! Then you're one of those people with a built-in super gadget.
There are several main types:
Copper IUD – releases copper so that sperm lose interest.
Copper chain / Gynefix – works in exactly the same way. The sperm are paralysed by the copper.
Hormonal coil – uses hormones to ensure that the shop is closed.
Gold coil – this coil works in much the same way as the copper coil, but is of course extra fancy.
They are all located in your uterus – nice and deep inside. And now the real question:
⚠️ Electrosex + coil/copper chain = Are they compatible?
Here's the honest answer: Mostly yes – but pay attention to the details!
Copper coil/copper chain
Copper conducts electricity. If you experiment with electricity directly through your abdomen, the copper in the coil could heat up. Theoretically.
Practically: Nothing will happen with standard stimulation current devices – as long as you don't throw an electricity party in your abdomen.
Hormone coil
No large metal parts. No electric magnet.
Hormone release works mechanically, not electrically. So: no stress here, you're good to go.
Gold or combination coils
Behave like copper. Just look more elegant. Safety tip remains the same.
🛑 So what am I allowed to do now?
Here are your rules for safe tingling with a coil:
- Do not create electrical circuits through the uterus.
- Applying electricity to the vagina and abdominal wall at the same time = Nope. It is better to stay in one place.
- Only use certified devices.
- Discount electric dildo from the Far East? Leave it alone. Literally.
- Take it slow: Do not go straight to the maximum level. No electric rodeo, please.
- If you feel a pulling sensation, warmth or pain – take it out. No pleasure in the world is worth a visit to the gynaecologist.
- Ask your gynaecologist if you are unsure, have questions or feel something unpleasant while playing.
✅ Conclusion: Electricity yes, short circuit no!
You can let loose – even with an IUD. Just pay attention to the placement of the electrodes, use safe devices and listen to your body. Then nothing will stand in the way of pleasurable flashes!
