Well, I'm just curious. It seems like the lifestyle is the perfect backbone for an electrical engineering career, but surprisingly I'm the only person I know that's involved with both. My question is this, "Where's everyone hiding?".

Tens units and violet wands use electronics. Is that what you mean?

I was an electronics tech in the USN and avoid electrical play like the plague. Been shocked more than a few times and know about the real physical harm even mild shocks cause.

I used to work for a company that built substations when I was scraping money together for grad school.
I laid conduit, pulled cable, Installed switches, fabricated and installed Bus Bar and finally terminated (hooked up the wires for) the whole thing.
Does that count?

I'm an EE. However, seems like all you need is to be a masochist. Otherwise you'd never get through all the homework!

Building motorised dildo machines, burn play with soldering irons, installing remote-control neuron chips into slaves or the holy grail of building kink-bots?

Other than installing a dimmer switch, I haven't found a lot of use for my electrical skills.

I'm a graduate engineer.

I love electrical play (violet wand...yummy!!) but I know enough about the dangers to play very carefully with it.

Electricity scares me and occasionally really pisses me off (I use electric fencing for my horses and have a tendency to zap myself)

Anecdote: I was visiting a friend's horses, and I accidentally zapped the fence with my boob. DIDNT FEEL A THING. That is how sturdy my bra is. Yes.

I really don't dig electrical play... right up there with carpet shock. And the whole adjusting the knobs thing.. meh.

The worst I can remember doing.........barefoot, wet grass, just a thin t-shirt and shorts..........nipple zap. It got me so hard it nearly knocked me off my feet.
OMG the cussing I did.

Best one. Generic Dude, barefoot on damp grass, kneeled down to reach under the bottom wire, got zapped right across the bridge of his nose. Knocked him backwards ass over tea kettle. Left a white mark on his nose for hours.

Second best one. I used to have a really gorgeous German Shepherd mix that was certain she was in charge of the whole valley. When the horses would get frisky and play, she would dash down the hill and run along the fence, telling them to chill out. One evening she accidently brushed her ass against the fence. The yelping and yowling as she hauled ass up the hill to me, tucking her ass at a dead run. She was absolutely convinced there was some evil invisible monster that tried to get her. She wouldn't get within 20 feet of that fenceline for months and when it was dark, she wouldn't even go on that side of the house. It wouldn't have been so funny but for her personality. She was the most confident, self assured, bossy and dominant dog I ever had (until Queen Sophia came along)
