Well, the human body is suposed to have an electrical resistance of 500K ohms and from some brief reading I found that a fence designed to deter sheep (which had the highest body resistance among herd animals) has 3000 volts. So with a human body in the complete circuit there would be a 6 miliamp (3000/500K) current, which is enough to be painful, below the amount needed to force one to contract their muscles completely, and way below the amount needed to stop your heart. The circuit I asume would go from the urine to the crotch and down one of the legs so it wouldn't be running through the heart anyway. I don't know how much electricity it takes to damage the testicals or penis though so I can't make any conclusions there. Granted, I wrote this with only a basic knowledge of electricity and about 5 seconds of reading on electrical fences so everything might not be completely accurate.
