ORIGINAL: SixFootMaster Am I the only one who sees this thread title and reads "It's electrifying" Why its... Grease Lightning!! Six. it has rather gotten metallica's garage cover to diamond heads song stuck in my head. but in reply to the thread, there are currents safe for humans, and currents that are not safe. electric stimulation can cause tissue damage or even death. the most common problems tend to be burns from lack of lubrication or bad contact between the electrode and the skin. even at low current and voltage, there is the risk for electrocution resulting in heart failure, and is higher for those who use a pacemaker or similar device or who have heart conditions. because of this, it is not advised to place the electrical contacts above waist level. and according to wiki, "Lubrication plays an important role in the success of erotic electro stimulation since without it, there is a greater risk of high frequency epidermal burning. It is generally recommended to use a water-based lubricant, although olive oil is a popular lubricant because it doesn't dry out like water-based lubricants can. Typically it is recommended to avoid any lubricant that contains silicone since it is an insulator and hence reduces conductivity." personally, i have no real experience or knowledge of my own, i just did some looking before when someone posed the question to me once. my experience is basically people with their practical jokes or electric lighters they tear apart, or from electrolysis. pretty night and day compared to this sort of stuff. though electrolysis did burn me and cause my skin to scab over, i rarely felt pain, and thankfully no scars~
