ORIGINAL: perkyliz question? is it safe to try and use an electric bug zapper on a nipple or clit? the zapper is the one that looks like a racket. just curious. As many have mentioned, you might want to be very careful about ele tricity near the heart, especially if there are other risk factors. Otherwise, another thing to consider is that, unlike other "shockers" sold for sex play, the bug zappers can actually burn if you are not carefull. I have seen a great mod to the tennis racquet te style zapper, replacing the racquets part with two probes coming right of the handle. Much easier to get the shock in to tight spaces :) Electricity to the heart, electricity to the heart... . Oh no, keep that 9 volt battery away from me, I have a heart condition! The voltage of external cardiac defibrillator batteries is 7.5 volts. The issue is not battery voltage alone. Perhaps there is no possibility of danger with a bug zapper... But if someone is concerned and not certain if it is safe, erring on the side of prudence just seems smart. We have been over and over this topic until my arms hurt. Look, apparently what I and others have been saying just don't sway people because they don't believe the source. I mean I ain't no "electrical engineer". Actually I studied mechanical engineering. But what I am, is a licensed electrician. I actually worked with real electricity, the kind that does kill you. So believe me when I say I know what I am talking about. It fascinates me when people have this abhorrent fear of electricity. Like if you look at it funny, it will jump out and kill you. I have seen people cringe just looking at house wiring. But electricity is just like any other deadly thing, give it the respect it deserves, and you are safe. Actually its more the amps that kill you than volts. So no matter how high the voltage something is, if it has low amps, it has very little chance of actually killing. Hurting, god yes. Killing no. Even house current, I have been shocked countless times. When apprenticing under my grandfather (he used to call it the idiot phase) whenever I would touch a hot wire accidentally, he would call it the cheap line detector. Did it hurt, hell yes, my arm would go numb, and would tingle for a few minutes. Did I die on the spot, uhm apparently not since I am typing this message now. And that was 120 house current. We are talking about bug zappers and TENS units here, way less in power than house current. Look, you can believe me or not. But I would rather believe something I actually had proof in, not just err on the side of caution. If these devices were as "dangerous" as you say they are, wouldn't there be one documented case of an injury, death, maim, dismemberment, bloody nose, etc? Guess what, there is none. It doesn't exist. Why, because these devices are tried, tested, tested again, and then tested again. They are so safe before they are released to the general public, you are more in danger driving your car than using a TENS unit. But people still tout the same line, don't use one above the heart, without actually asking the question, why? Where is the proof, evidence? Be it on yourself to believe in something without such things
