ORIGINAL: SeaDogret Ok, very informative set of posting on male subs, am interested for use on female subs, have a 2 lead tens available to use, I understand, put a patch on nipples and another on clit to excite a female sub, any input would be appreciated on safe use. I wouldn't put an electrode (patch) above anyone's waist. You are, after all, passing an electric current through the person's body, and there's a risk of interfering with the electrical impulses that regulate the heartbeat. Note well that this is the super-safe, conservative advice. Likely there are ways to make that kind of play safe, but for the vast majority of us kinksters it's just better not to fool around with anything with such deadly potential. Besides, there's plenty of interesting real estate below the waist. Females have a lot of the same physiology as men, and so an electrode over her tailbone or up her ass and one on her perineum will do much the same for her as it will for a male, meaning that it will increase the intensity of any orgasm she might happen to have while wired up. Or put a metal electrode inside her vagina, clip one to her clit, etc. Hell, you're the Dom. Make something up! But please, really, no electrodes on the chest. While I appreciate what you're trying to do safety-wise, this is a bit of misinformation. The general advisory of "no electricity above the waist" comes from our relative inability to determine what sort of device we're dealing with and how it delivers power. Remember that many of the folks doing BDSM are buying gear off of Ebay, making it at home, or worse yet, modifying an existing unit to do something it didn't do before by means of altering or creating new attachments for it. That being said, provided the TENS unit is a bipolar delivery unit and with both electrodes in use, using it above the waist is relatively safe in most persons. Physicians PRESCRIBE this device to patients for chronic pain conditions of the neck, shoulders and upper back (as well as other body parts.) Electrode placement is KEY. Placement recommendations do not ascribe to placing thoracic leads where one would be deliberately sending an electrical impulse against, through or with the cardiac system (an example chart is here: http://www.vitality-web.com/backstore/tensplacement.htm.) TENS units also should not be used across one's head :-) Being a paramedic, I don't like folks playing with electricity around their hearts at all, but these devices CAN be used safety and are on a regular basis by thousands of patients around the globe provided you follow the instructions and advisories on the device packaging. A side note: E-stim devices are NOT for anyone with implanted electronic devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, drug pumps, etc.), heart problems, heart disease, epilepsy/seizure disorders, brain disorders, or nervous system disorders. Pregnant women and women who might be pregnant should also refrain from using an e-stim device unless under the order of a physician.
