I'll reiterate....that Hotch IS spot on!
First of all, he’s correct in saying a TENS unit can be played safely above the waist…but knowledge as to HOW is important! IE: do not cross leads from one line across the midline. You’d need a two-line unit (or two unites) to ‘do’ each nipple.
Secondly, what Hotch says about how electricity is conducted by the body is on the money. If you do not understand these things…find someone who does and work with them a while first.
A lot of lube is a good idea and as someone mentioned…just let it slide; never ever, ever ever, push a sound into place!
And have fun! <weg>

Actually MsBearlee, I was the one who said a tens unit is safe above the waist. I worked for 2 years for a physical therapist and have been in physical therapy myself for even longer than that. It can be used on the neck, shoulders, and back with no problem. I do this to myself on a regular basis as this is what it was prescribed for. I also said that plain common sense should rule here when considering placing it over the heart. There are no muscles there that I know of that would even be helped by a tens unit, so there's no reason to put the heart at risk either in therapy or play. A lot of people over react when you start talking about electricity. Most people out there would never come close to the heart with a violet wand either, but it's only static electricity that travels across the surface of the skin. Again, use common sense. Why would you want to run it across someone's chest when there are so many other places to try?
I'm not ignorant when it comes to electricity. I simply had never tried this particular configuration before. I still stand by what I said about the tens unit not needing to be grounded. The electricity goes up one side of the lead and down through the other. Hence, the "path" some referred to. Whether you or your sub are grounded does not affect how it works. In fact, I walk around with one clipped to my belt all the time. I did realize, though, what you were talking about when you explained why it would not work if both ends of the lead are next to each other at the end of the sound. Just needed someone else's perspective to point out my error. Hence, my post.
The violet wand is totally different, especially the way I like to use it. Mine has an attachment where I become the ground and this is when I pull out the metal 'claws' that I love so much. However, if I accidentally touch part of my body with the lead, I'm the one who will get the shock, or sometimes just share it with the sub. Not the result I'm looking for.
If you go back and read my posts, I specifically said I let the sound "drop" into place. When inserting sounds, I hold the penis upright with one hand and slide the lubed sound into the urethreal opening with the other. I then allow it to drop down with the aid of gravity into the ureathrea until it reaches the point where I want it to stop. I NEVER push it at any time.
As it happens, I own a metal butt plug and I'm thinking that would be a great place to put that second lead the next time.
