jim, i think it is sometimes more a mental mountain we build in our minds regarding acceptance of new directions to go with our own sexuality or exploration as a top or bottom in scenes. Based on what you said, you already are involved in electric play. There are many others who are as well, i'd warrant to guess. With the various kinks or fetishes like that, i've found that it is helpful to realize there are degrees of involvement you can try before you're fully into the deep end. Electric play is no different. i love electricity as part of stimulation and it doesn't always have to be stimulation that equals something on a pain scale. Some floggers have the softest tails. They're designed for sessions that relate far more to stimulus than to pain. Other floggers are designed with jagged pieces of metal and other type surfaces that dramatically increase the pain applied when used. The list of things that fall between those two extremes probably are endless. Maybe people would be more likely to include electricity in mild ways, making it less of a limit, more open minded, if they realized there were just as many degrees of intensity available for such play. i love the TENS unit and haven't tried a violet wand. i think knowing that the TENS unit has instructions, safety manual, and degrees of control and shock/electricity that range from off=0 and on=1-10 might encourage people to try it. You don't have to jump in the deep end and go for a 10 that might scare you to death. Being flogged with glass and metal particles scares me to death too but i don't put a 'hard limit' on flogging because there really is a vast array of ways a dominant can flog that would not scare me at all. i really appreciate you pointing this topic out, jim. i think some kinks get a bad rap before anyone ever gives them a whirl because they only remember the extremes. All of this, all we do, has to be measured and done in moderation to our own personal levels of pleasure! the cupcake
