Warning:  These systems were developed using UK 240v supply and may need some modification for other international supply levels.  All electrical systems can be dangerous if improperly handled and neither Gromet nor the author can accept any liability in this respect.

If you are reading this you are probably already a convert to the delights of electro-stimulation. You will be aware of the safety rules, particularly not connecting anything above the waist despite the temptation of nipples. This is just an addition to such data, with some tried and tested ideas that I have found to be fun. 

Power Source. 

Power is distributed nationally at very high voltages to reduce losses and reduced in homes to around 110 volts AC in the USA and Europe and 240 volts AC in UK. 110 is less efficient, but 240 can be lethal. Commercial electro-stimulation sets usually go for DC current, which I find rather boring, and they also cost a bomb. AC fizzes, DC just hurts. My basic setup (fig 1) uses mains AC, through a commercial dimmer switch, through a bell transformer (down to 9v AC) to a standard power outlet fitting. All stuff you can pick up at the local hardware store. The dimmer enables you to vary the strength of the sensation, and the plug-in system means you can set up your controller well out of reach using extension cables, but remember that a long cable will take some power out of the system. 

 
 





Your main connections will be to dick, balls and ass. Below are the fruits of some experiments with simple but effective and inexpensive connection points. 

Dick Head. The most sensitive part of the dick is the head, as I’m sure you know very well, so we start there. I cut a shape (fig 2) out of a 1” (25mm) copper pipe. The crook at the top drops into the urethra and the hole at the bottom is for screwing on the wire. It fits under the glans ring and can be a bit tricky to get on properly, but once in place nothing shifts it. Erection just tightens its grip. Wipe on a dab of olive oil to improve connection once fixed. Actually a metal ring under the glans works nearly as well. 

Dick Shaft. Dick shaft connections are theoretically simple – you just shove a metal ring round – but there are problems with that. A ring may be loose when your dick is soft, causing spark burns, or painfully restrict erection later on. Even a full erection may cause minor sparking at the points where dick and ring profiles don’t match. You are better off with a small copper plate held in place with a sleeve of rubber or elastic.
 
 

Balls. I have a copper ball-crusher designed to allow electrical connections across the balls, but this must be for serious masochists (or people with insensitive balls!). It’s agony. I have found that putting in the power just above the balls gives just the right balance of sensation. You can do this with naked wire wound round, with a copper strap bent round, or with a chromed ball-stretcher as in fig 3.
 

Butt. You can buy bi-polar plastic anal inserts with a metalled strip down each side which give a good kick, and there’s no real alternative here but buying one. I have one but don’t use it much, as my home-made bum terminal works so much better. It’s the 1” copper pipe again, this time teamed with two small wooden cupboard knobs (fig 4). A central screw holds the two knobs together, and the power is delivered at the sphincter, the most sensitive part of the ass. 

Metal Belt. I haven’t tried making one out of copper since I already have a steel one. It gives a nice cosy vibration to the whole pelvic region, particularly if used with the butt connector. Screw the belt up tight, with a smear of olive oil on the inside. 

Bum Spikes. This one gives quite a different feel, you may not like it or it may drive you wild. The idea is to distribute the contact through dozens of small points distributed across your bum cheeks. Cut two pieces of cardboard to the size required, say 4” by 8” (10 x 20 cm) and two bits of aluminium foil to a slightly smaller size. Push as many drawing pins (thumbtacks) through one bit of cardboard as turns you on and tape a foil sheet over the back. Then staple a partly-stripped wire round the foil with the unstripped length protruding and cover with the second foil sheet and the other bit of cardboard. Staple the whole thing together. You should now have a thick cardboard rectangle with a wire connection to lots of spikes. Slip it into your underpants spike-side in. 

Other Body Connections. Some people swear by sole-of-the-foot contacts, but I must just have thick soles. I can only just feel it on full power. If this is a sensitive area for you, you could probably devise a system that closed a circuit when you put your foot down. The calf muscle is a little better and a belly contact better still (shave the contact area and lubricate with olive oil to get the best contact) but I don’t find either particularly erotic.
 

Electro with Self Bondage

 
You will have to try all the various combinations of the above connections to see which turn you on most at which power levels. Make some marks on the controller so you can set levels in advance; then you can use delayed-action switches to light you up once the rest of your bondage is in place. Some ideas for such switches are mentioned below.
 
Time Clock. The great thing about using mains electricity as a source is that compatible gadgets are commercially available and cheap. There are several different kinds of time clock available, some covering as much as a week and some cycling every hour. Programme your fun and then lock yourself to the bedposts. Variations are to put several different time clocks in the circuit, which introduces frustrating random. There are also computer programmes available designed to turn on lights, dog noises etc when you are away from home to confuse simple burglars, and these can be readily modified to give more complex scenarios.
Flasher. The strongest sensation is the microsecond when the juice first flows and devices are sold, for such things as Christmas lights, which flash the power on and off regularly. Use it with a time clock, perhaps.
Urine Switch. This one is fun since you are to some extent in control. Fix a small plastic bag, with no leaks, tightly around your family jewels as in fig 5. A wire screwed into a plastic connector also goes into the bag, down at the bottom. I use these connectors a lot, they are small but positive. Just before locking yourself into whatever vertical position you fancy, be it tree or banister, knock back a few pints of your favourite tipple. You hold your bladder for as long as you can but sooner or later it flows. Urine is salty and a good conductor, so as soon as it touches the wire power will flow back up the stream. The sensation changes as the bag fills up and the fluid level creeps back up your dick to your balls. 

Catheter Switch. This is another version of the same principle. You need a thin plastic tube which you seal into the teat end of a condom with lots of rubber bands. Then you put on the condom and hang the other end of the tube in a small plastic bucket or similar container (it could be on the ground or hanging from your balls). The wire connector is at the bottom of the bucket and when pissed on connects the power to the inside of your dick. If the end of the tube gets below the ‘water’ level it will not empty, giving you a lasting tingle. 

Rain Switch. Wire your circuit into two adjacent plastic connectors, put them in a bowl with a sprinkle of salt and place it outside overnight. If it rains in the night the bowl will collect water, dissolve the salt and, when the level reaches the connectors, close your circuit. The fun of this one is that it might not rain, or not enough, so nothing might happen at all. Choose a night when rain is forecast, perhaps. Works better in UK, or in Ireland where it rains all the time. 

Erection Switch. Fig 6 is a rather poor drawing of this device, which closes a circuit when you get hard. You need stiff copper single-strand insulated wire in two sections both clamped tightly into a pair of plastic connectors. The wires are bent round your dick and hooked together, with the insulation stripped from the insides of the bends where they will touch. A further sophistication is secondary bends with a little rubber band across, to ensure the wires are apart until forced together. Test newly-purchased porno films with it. I use it most often with a second circuit at higher power; once a first circuit has encouraged the erection. I also have a ‘soft’ version of the design (and associated terminals) for wearing in bed to catch night erections – there’s nothing quite like waking up with a rock-hard, fizzing dick! 

Droop Switch. One of the delightful side-effects of electro-play is that a current through the dick causes a virtually automatic erection, and this property is the basis of the droop switch. The victim is secured tightly round the upper thighs to a post or something so that he cannot rock his pelvis. Then a dish of salty water is placed under his dick. The wire is either in the water or connected to the dish, if metal. The other terminal is up his bum. A full erection will keep his dick clear, but a loss of concentration drops it into the water, completes the circuit and restores the erection. You can keep him hard indefinitely with this one! A blindfold helps. 

Bicycle Switch. I once saw a cartoon drawing of two happy spinster ladies; one was very flushed and holding a pedal bike with a huge dildo fixed vertically to the saddle. The caption was “It works, Ethel, three orgasms a mile if you keep pedalling!” My version works in a less direct way! You need a mobile power source so it has to be a 9v DC power pack. I fixed a device to the frame whereby each time the pedal went round it pushed two sprung copper terminals together. The first time I tried it out I came only a few hundred yards down the road! 

Bend Over Switch. This works with the Bum Spikes connector described above. Cut a piece of tough foam, like carpet underlay, and slip it inside the connector. Wear tight trousers (or corsets if they turn you on) over the top, and connect up. If you bend over or sit down you should get a sharp stabbing uniformly-distributed zing. 

Ice Switch. You lie there longing for the ice to melt, the key to fall and release to come at last. The idea behind the ice switch is to add an element of trepidation, not to say fear, to this moment so that one awaits it with mixed feelings. The nearer you get to ETA the less you fancy the prospect. Very psychological. The arrangement in fig 7 is only one way to work it, but the point is that the key release also triggers a switch to plunge your private bits into writhing agony (which seemed a great idea when you set it up hours ago!). It makes concentrating on getting the key accurately into the lock tricky. 

Add Your Ideas
 

They say that if you can think of it, someone somewhere is already doing it. So there must be guys out there who have tried all these and more, and it’s the ‘more’ I would like to hear about. Post your ideas on this excellent Gromet page so we can all join in. The Force be with you!
