Electrosex And E-stim Electrode Position Guide

Written by  Jul 17, 2017

Some Inspirational E-stim Masturbation Techniques

First of all, this article is a little bit naughtier than my usual ones, and it depicts explicit visual demonstrations of electrode positioning on both penis owners and vulva owners so before you scroll down, please make sure it is safe and wise to do so where you are.

If you don't know what e-stim or electrosex is then check out my beginners guide to e-stim. It is a fantastic way to masturbate, that can lead to a hands-free e-stim orgasm.

This article is not safe for workI am often asked where are the best positions to place electrode pads as well as insertable electrodes and so in this article I will explain some of the ways that I have discovered to give yourself hands-free orgasms for both penis owners and vulva owners.

Yes, it is possible to achieve true hands-free orgasms while stimming, but it does take a bit to trial and error to find out what works best for you and let's face it just doing that is a good excuse to dust off the e-stim control box and to start experimenting.

Safety First

Think safety, always use equipment designed for the jobThese positions and masturbation techniques listed should only be done using equipment designed for the job. Remember that you shouldn't be passing an e-stim current any higher than your waist unless using specialised equipment designed to do just that.

Make sure that your e-stim equipment is serviceable and has passed any relevant standards such as the CE mark in Europe. Examine cables for damage especially near to the plugs and remember to attach electrodes with the control unit switched off to prevent any nasty surprise shocks.

Always think safety when you play with electrosex equipment as let's face it you want to be achieving hands-free orgasms for a long time to come.


Safety Note: Trimming Pad Style Monopole Electrodes

Recently I have been made aware of two instances of pad style monopole electrodes cauing problems in the form of arcing.

The first was when as small 25mm pad-style electrode that wasn't very sticky that touched a metal electrode causing a huge drop in resistance with caused the edge of the pad to actually start to heat up, smolder and then catch fire. The image below shows that pad. The moral of this one is keep your electrodes seperated.

"Well - yesterday I was worried that the magic smoke may have escaped from my transformers or amp ... but everything seems fine (coil resistance seems right, no evidence of overheated or failed components, power supply voltage correct).
But I heard a crackle and smelt the acrid smoke of fried electronics. Of course, emergency power off! Just about to test things again today, when I noticed the smoking gun! These 25mm pads are not very sticky, and this must have shifted to short against my cage/common terminal.
No sign of injury, and I didn't feel anything. But if I had been restrained, so I couldn't cut the power....?"

Experienced E-Stim User

The second what when a pad that had been cut down arced and caught fire while fitted to the user's glans (eek). It looks like too much of the conductive wire was trimmed away, so please ensure that when trimming pads, you don't trim off too much. The user was using the pad with Tensive Conductive Adhesive, suggesting it wasn't too sticky either.

"It arced right where the black dot is on the left
the next closest wire or electrode was several inches away
4+
This was head common
the only other electrodes was a CR loop at the base and a CR loop around balls
I watched it arc to itself
bright flash and then immediate flames
I clearly cut through the strands of wire at the end, it's hard to take a picture of though cause black on black"

I urge everyone when using new equipment or altering equipment to be very wary when using especially for the first few times. Ensure that you can quickly remove the power and have a damp cloth to hand to cool things down quickly if something goes wrong.

E-Stim Diary

Finding the right combination of electrodes, positions for them, routines and settings on your control box can require a lot of trial and error (its a good excuse for some kinky fun though). I strongly recommend that you keep a stimming diary to record positions and settings so that it is easy to see what you have tried in the past and what worked and didn't.

When you find the sweet combinations that result in amazing hands-free orgasms record the positions and settings so that you can easily recreate them at a later date. Trust me this is good advice and will make the process of learning how to use your equipment much faster.

Electrode Positioning

As penis and vulva owners are different physiologically in our genital regions, some options work best for and not the other. For instance, as vulva owners do not have a prostate, they feel anal stimming in a different way to penis owners.

Now I am not saying that vulva owners don't enjoy anal estim action, perish the thought. I love a little backdoor, estim action. All I am saying is that sensations can widely differ from sex to sex and also from person to person.

With that in mind check out all of the positions highlighted here and try whichever ones you fancy. You may find that some don't work well for you, but you may just manage to find the position that sends you into a state of orgasmic bliss in no time at all.

To that end I have broken down the electrode positions into different areas - Penis & Vulva Owners (no surprises there I guess). There is a good deal of cross over between the two, together with a separate section for Tri-Phase electrode positions. So without further ado, here are my recommended estim electrode positions.

Vulva Owners Electrode Positions

Pussy PlayPosition 1 - Two Monopole Adhesive Pad Electrodes - Vulva

Two monopole adhesive pads either side of your clitorisThis is a great starter position and one that I still enjoy to this day. Most e-stim kits contains adhesive pad electrodes or you can buy them very cheaply from a good chemists (ask for TENS machine pad electrodes).

Place one either side of your vulva about inline with your clitoris for the best sensations. This setup requires a single channel so it is again good for entry level kits with only one output channel.

The current flows from one pad to the other through your clitoris and the surrounding tissue and this can feel incredible on low power settings and also at higher settings.

It has the benefit of leaving good access to your clitoris and vagina so that you are free to use a finger, a dildo or a vibrator for added stimulation.

If you are really feeling adventurous try asking your partner to stimulate you orally whilst in this position.

Experiment with the positions of the pads to see what works best for you. You can even move them further apart and place them on the inside of your thighs for different sensations.


Pussy PlayAnal PlayPosition 2 - Two Monopole Adhesive Pad Electrodes - Buttocks

Two monopole adhesive pads either side of your butt cheeksThis is a another great starter position and one that can be used to please or punish as well. Most e-stim kits contains adhesive pad electrodes or you can buy them very cheaply from a good chemist (ask for TENS machine pad electrodes).

Place one either side of your bum cheeks, this setup requires a single channel so it is again good for entry level kits with only one output channel.

The current flows from one pad to the other through your bum cheeks causing your muscles to tighten in time with the current pulses. It can be a lot of fun when having sex as it tightens everything up and your partner will definitely appreciate the added sensations.

Again it leaves you with good access so that you can play with yourself with your fingers or a toy whilst enjoying the pulses.

Experiment with the positions of the pads to see what works best for you. You can even more the pads closer to your anus for more pronounced sensations.


Pussy PlayAnal PlayPosition 3 - Two Monopole Adhesive Pad Electrodes - Vulva To Buttocks

Two monopole adhesive pads one above your clitoris and one between your butt cheeksAnother good starter position. Most e-stim kits contains adhesive pad electrodes or you can buy them very cheaply from a good chemist (ask for TENS machine pad electrodes).

Place one adhesive pad electrode above your clitoris on your vulva and the second one between your butt cheeks close to your anus. This setup requires a single channel so it is again good for entry level kits with only one output channel.

The current flows from one pad to the other through your vulva and clitoris as well as your anus causing your muscles to tighten in time with the current pulses. Again this one can be a lot of fun when having sex as it tightens everything up and your partner will definitely appreciate the added sensations.

This position also leaves you with good access so that you can play with yourself with your fingers or a toy whilst enjoying the pulses.


Pussy PlayPosition 4 - One Bipolar Electrode - Inserted Into The Vagina

One Bipolar electrode inserted into the vaginaThis is probably the first way that you will enjoy a Bipolar electrode when you get one. Inserted into the vagina the current flows from one electrode to the other causing your kegel muscles to get a workout.

This setup still only uses one channel so it's good for any control box. It feels incredible and can also be used for kegel muscle training which can aid in bladder control and sexual performance.

Depending on the design of the electrode the current will either flow from side to side or up and down the vaginal tract producing some incredible sensations I like to term the phrase "ghost fucking" when I do this as it does feel like you are getting a good seeing to on higher power levels.

This position means that you can't insert anything else vaginally but there is always your anus if you are feeling adventurous and of course your fingers or a vibrator can also be used on your clitoris for added stimulation.


Anal PlayPosition 5 - One Bipolar Electrode - Inserted Into The Rectum

One Bipolar electrode inserted into the anusThis is a very kinky way to enjoy a bipolar electrode and it feels great.

This setup still only uses one channel so it's good for any control box. It feels very nice and the current flow will cause your muscles to tighten and this can be incredible if you are riding your partner as they will benefit from it as well.

Depending on the design of the electrode the current will either flow from side to side or up and down the rectum producing some incredible sensation.

This position means that you can't insert anything else anally but you can of course use your fingers a dildo or a vibrator on your pussy for added stimulation.

An anal electrode is often associated with BDSM play and indeed electrosex can make for an amazing scene for those who practice that sort of play.

Note: Anal electrodes shouldn't be inserted into the vagina after use unless you are 100% certain that you can sterilise it properly.


Pussy PlayAnal PlayPosition 6 - Two Bipolar Electrodes - Inserted Into The Vagina & Rectum

Two Bipolar electrodes inserted into the vagina & anusNow we are getting kinky, for this you will need two bipolar insertable electrodes and a dual channel control box such as the 2B Control Box.

With this you get the benefit of being very full and a top of the range control box can do miracles with their pulsations bouncing from one electrode to the other.

Depending on the design of the electrode the current will either flow from side to side or up and down the rectum and vagina producing some incredible sensations.

This position means that you can't insert anything else but you can of course use your fingers a dildo or a vibrator on your clitoris for added stimulation.

This sort of electrode configuration is for people who are used to multiple penetrations as it can take some practice to be able to take both electrodes.


Pussy PlayPosition 7 - One Bipolar Electrode & Two Adhesive Pads - Inserted Into The Vagina & Pads On Vulva

One Bipolar electrode inserted into the vagina & two electro pads either side of the clitorisNow we are getting our kink on, for this you will need a bipolar insertable electrode, two adhesive pad electrodes and a dual channel control box such as the 2B. The bipolar electrode is inserted into the vagina and the pads are stuck either side of the clitoris and each is on a seperate channel.

A dual channel control box really ups the game and they can produce amazing sensations in different parts of your body at the same time.

Depending on the design of the electrode the current will either flow from side to side or up and down the vaginal canal producing some incredible sensations whilst the current from the pads pass through and around the clitoris.

This position will have you shuddering and really enjoying yourself, you could of course take the bipolar electrode anally instead of vaginally.

This sort of electrode configuration is very intense and ideal for any BDSM scene or simply when pleasuring yourself.


Penis Owners Electrode Positions

Penis PlayPosition 1 - Two Monopole Cock Loops - Cock and/or Balls

Two monopole cock loops on the cock or cock and ballsThis is a very common electrode set and placement for penis owners. A set of cock loops or bands is placed around the cock with one just under the head and one next to your body or around the testicles.

Great sensations can be had, if using cock loops make sure that you use plenty of electrolube to make sure that you don't get hot spots and you can a good electrical connection.

You should experiment with the position of the loops in order to find what works best for you. This set up also forms the basis of a number of very interesting electrode combinations such as using a cock loop and an anal electrode to send the current deep inside yourself through your prostate.

This set up only requires one channel and so it can be enjoyed with any e-stim control box.


Penis PlayPosition 2 - One Monopole Cock Loop & One Adhesive Pad - Cock and Perinium

One monopole cock loop on the cock and a pad on the periniumThis is another common electrode set and placement for penis owners. One cock loops or band is placed around the cock just under the head and an adhesive pad electrode is then stuck on the perinium (the area between your balls and anus).

Use plenty of electrolube on the cock loops but don't put any on the adhesive pad as if you do it will not stick. It's a good idea to shave the area that you are sticking the pad to as the adhesive is strong on a good quality pad - ouchie.

You should experiment with the position of the loop in order to find what works best for you. You can move the cock loop down the penis or even exchange it for a penis plug.

This set up only requires one channel and so it can be enjoyed with any e-stim control box and the electrical pulses travel all the way up your penis with this set up.


Anal PlayPosition 3 - One Bipolar Electrode - Inserted Into The Rectum

One Bipolar electrode inserted into the anusThis is a very enjoyable way to enjoy a bipolar electrode and it feels great.

This setup still only uses one channel so it's good for any control box. It feels very nice and the current flow will cause your muscles to tighten and this can be incredible especially on higher settings.

Depending on the design of the electrode the current will either flow from side to side or up and down the rectum producing some incredible sensations.

This position means that you can't insert anything else anally but you can of course still masturbate as usual whilst enjoying the pulses.

Using an insertable bipolar electrode is pretty much a no brainer as its obviously going to go up your butt but check out the next positions for some twists on this fun use of an electrode.


Anal PlayPosition 4 - One Bipolar Electrode & One Cock Loop - Inserted Anally With A Cock Loop Around The Testicles

One Bipolar electrode inserted into the anus and a cock loop around the testiclesThis nice little set up was suggested by Mick at E-Stim Systems (Thank you Mick). His recommendation for the insert is the Flange Bipolar Electrode.

This setup still only uses one channel so it's good for any control box. You insert a bipolar electrode anally and attach one cable to the center socket (for the head of the electrode) and then place a cock loop around the testicles tightly.

The current will flow from the head of the bipolar electrode through your prostate and on to your testicles and this can be a very intense feeling.

This position means that you are free to masturbate as usual whilst enjoying the pulses and you also get the added pleasure of having your testicles bound.

Try using a wand style vibrator on your frenulum (banjo string) to really kick things into high gear.


Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 5 - One Bipolar Electrode & Two Cock Loops

One Bipolar electrode inserted into the anus and two cock loopsThis is another excellent way to enjoy a bipolar electrode but this time with a pair of cock loops as well.

This setup uses two channels so it will only work with a control box that has dual channels. You get to enjoy the best of the two most common penis masturbation configurations together for some amazing sensations.

Depending on the design of the bipolar electrode the current will either flow from side to side or up and down the rectum producing some incredible sensations whilst the current on the second channel will pass from one cock loop through your penis to the other.

This position means that you can't insert anything else anally but you can of course still masturbate as usual if you are careful not to dislodge the loops, throw in a vibrator for an incredible combination.

This set up is very good for hands free orgasms and is often used by professional Dominatrix's on their submissive for pain or pleasure.


Penis PlayPosition 6 - Two Pad Electrodes On Inner Thighs & Two Cock Loops

One set of cock loops and two pads on the inner thighsThis is great way of enjoying two channels, use it on yourself or others.

This setup uses two channels so it will only work with a control box that has dual channels. Simply set up one channel through a set of adhesive pad electrodes stuck to the inner things and the second channel goes to a pair of cock loops (guess where they go).

This will result in lots of twitching and the inner thigh electrodes can be turned up quite high.

This position means that you are still able to enjoy anal penetration or plugs.

This set up was suggested to me over twitter by BLUF Webmaster @BLUFclub. I love his suggestion - "Can be particularly useful if the penis is in chastity".


Penis PlayPosition 7 - One Pad Electrode On Lower Back & One Cock Loop

One cock loop around glans and one pad in small of the backThis is an interesting set up for a single channel control box.

This setup uses one channel so it will work with any e-stim control box.

Simply attach an adhesive pad electrode to the small of the back and then fit a cock loop just under the head of the penis. One end of the cable from your control box goes to each.

This will cause the current to travel much further than normal so you may need a higher setting than you are used to.

This position means that you are still able to enjoy anal penetration or plugs.

This set up was suggested to me through e-mail by Quido. Thank you for sharing this set up with us all.


Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 8 - Two Cock Loops, Pad At Base Of Balls & Butt Plug

Two cock loops, one pad at the base of the balls and a butt plugThis is a four electrode setup suggested by strimmmer on Smartstim.com.

As you can see from the picture, this set up uses two channels with the first going from the cock loop around just under the glans to the adhesive pad electrode at the base of the balls.

The second channel runs from the cock loop which has the top half insulated at the base of the penis to the monopole butt plug.

You can of course use a bi-polar butt plug just attache one cable to it.

This set up requires two channels. A1/A2 stims the dorsal (glans) and perineal nerves while B1/B2 drives current straight through the prostate. Move the pad at A2 around until you find your personal sweet-spot


Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 9 - Four Adhesive Pad Electrodes, Glans, Balls, Bum Cheeks & Perineum

Four Adhesive Pad Electrodes, Glans, Balls and Bum cheeks and perineumThis is an interesting set up for a dual channel control box and is another four electrode setup suggested by strimmmer on Smartstim.com.

The first pad is placed on or just under the glans on the top of the penis.

The second pad from that channel goes to a pad fixed at the base of the balls.

The second channel goes from a pad on the perineum to a pad fixed between the bum cheeks between the anus and base of the spine. Experiment with its position to get the best out of this one

A1/A2 stims the dorsal (glans) and perineal nerves while B1/B2 applies comfortable, indirect prostate stimulation.


Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 10 - Two Adhesive Pad Electrodes, Perinium & Above Penis Plus Bipolar Butt Plug

Two Adhesive Pad Electrodes, Perinium & Above Penis Plus Bipolar Butt PlugThis is an interesting set up that can be used if you are wearing a penis chastity device (don't tell your Dominatrix).

It was suggested by piggie who will be in trouble if his keyholder reads this.

The first pad is placed on the perinium area under the balls with the second placed above the cock this sends current through the base of the penis and the balls.

The Bipolar butt plug is used on the second channel in the anus.

He uses microfoam tape to hold the pads in place as he finds the tape has much better glue.

It's also meant to peal off easily so it doesn't hurt coming off - bonus.


Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 11 - Bipolar Anal Electrode And Two Cock Loops

Bipolar Anal Electrode And Two Cock LoopsThis is an electrode configuration sugegsted by "Ron" and it is perfect for the Moaner or Flange electrodes (two of my favourites).

It is for two channel control boxes and the A channel runs A1 to the head of the inserted bipolar electrode and A2 goes to a cock loop with the upper surface insulated, that runs around the base of the penis and balls.

The second channel runs B1 to the base of the inserted anal electrode and B2 goes to a second cock loop placed just under the glans. These two channels will effectively stimulate the Dorsal amd Perineal nerves as well as the sphincter muscles.

You can swap the plugs around on the B channel to spice things up a bit.

Thank you for taking the time to submit this configuration Ron.


Tri-Phase Suggested Positions

Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 1 - Monopole Cock Loop Around Balls, With Pad or Loop Around Cock & Monopole Butt Plug

One cock loop around balls, one pad on cock and monopole buttplugThis is a Tri-Phase setup suggested by x65125 on Smartstim.com.

As you can see from the picture cables are joined at the loop of conductive rubber around the balls and base of the penis. This may require you to hack your e-stim electrode cable or you can buy adaptors to link the cables for you. At the glans end of the penis you can use a TENS pad cut to 3/4" square with rounded corners (do not remove too much of the conductive filament from the pads) placed on the top face of the glans or just under it, a conductive rubber (CR) loop, metal ring or a urethral electrode 1.5" or less in the urethra. This stimulates the Dorsal Nerve.

The top half of the conductive loop around the balls and penis is insulated so that you get full contact through the perinial area. You can use masking tape or a strip of card to insulte the top half of the loop.

This set up requires two channels that don't share a common base so you will need to check the specifications of your control box.


Penis PlayAnal PlayPosition 2 - Two Monopole Cock Loops Around Cock And An Anal Electrode

One cock loop just under glans, one loop around base of cock and an anal electrodeThis is a Tri-Phase setup suggested by anonymous on Fetlife and is very similar to Tri-phase position 3.

As you can see from the picture, the cables are joined at the loop under the glans of the cock which takes A1 and B1. A2 is attached to the cock loop around the base of the cock.

B2 is attached to one pole of an anal electrode. This set-up is used for forced milking of the person who told me about it. Their settings on an ET-312 are:

Pwr level: high
Ramp time: 100
Ramp level: 50
Pace: 05
Width: 130
Effect: 05
Freq: 150
Tempo: 01
Depth: 60

Also on the ET-312, in the "Menu/Adjust Advanced" settings the program "Orgasm" was selected and "Multi adjust" set to maximum. Then start the ramp up and set Channel A and B to 50.

This set up requires two channels that don't share a common base so you will need to check the specifications of your control box.


Adhesive Pad Recommendations

Thank you x65125 on Smartstim.com for these recommended pad specifications for the following position:

  1. Glans pad: 3/4"/1.9cm square with rounded corners.
  2. Bottom side of shaft pad: 1.5"/3.8cm x 1/2"/1.3cm with rounded corners. The 1.5"/3.8cm dimension should be parallel to the wire entry (this does not apply to the uncommon 4 mm snap pads, which actually are better for cutting down because there is no worry about cutting all the wire strands coming from the TENS jack). The 1.5"/3.8cm dimension is applied perpendicular to penis shaft.
He also recommends Axelgaard®­­­ ValuTrode® cloth pads for cutting down; shop carefully online for best price. Axelgaard PALS® electrodes come in a 1"/2.5cm circle, which could be used without cutting down on bottom side of shaft, but they are more expensive than ValueTrode products.

Penis PlayPosition 3 - Monopole Cock Loop Around Balls, With Two Pads - The MAX-GLANS

One cock loop around balls, one pad on base cock and another on or under glansThis is a Tri-Phase setup suggested by strimmmer on Smartstim.com.

As you can see from the picture, cables are joined at the adhesive pad placed on or just under the glans on the upper face (TENS pad cut to 3/4" square with rounded corners placed on the top face of the glans or just under it). This stimulates the Dorsal Nerve. This may require you to hack your e-stim electrode cable or you can buy adaptors to link the cables for you. At the base of the penis you can use a TENS pad cut to 3/4" square with rounded corners placed on the underside face just above the balls.

The top half of the conductive loop around the balls and penis is insulated so that you get full contact through the perinial area. You can use masking tape or a strip of card to insulte the top half of the loop. The CR ball loop at A1 can also be exchanged for a TENS pad if preferred, positioned at the back of the ball sack (the same area where the CR ball loop would stim). This alternative makes for a quick n' easy 3-pad setup.

This set up requires two channels that don't share a common base so you will need to check the specifications of your control box.


Pussy PlayAnal PlayPosition 4 - Biploar Vaginal Electrode With Two Pads - The Pussy-Pleaser

Image showing a vulva owner tri-phase electrode configuration, bipolar vaginal electrode and two padsThis is one of my favourite electrode configurations with my 2B. Check out my full review of the E-stim Systems 2B.

As you can see in the image, this is a straightforward and comfortable set-up. You will need an insertable bi-polar electrode to insert into the vagina to act as the base electrode. This electrode has one cable from each channel plugged into it (A2&B2).

You then place two self-adhesive pad style monopole electrodes, one above the clitoris on the vulva (A1) and the other just behind the anus (B1). These have the other two cables attached to them.

I find the Moaner and Flange work well for this electrode configuration, and it also works very well indeed with my DIY 3D printable Didi electrode, which is a monopole electrode that is capable of accepting two plugs.

This set up requires two channels that don't share a common base so you will need to check the specifications of your control box.

    So I was just thinking about something not sure it would work or be enjoyable or not or even dangerous. What about 1 insertable in female and then 1 inside him. Electricity follows the path of least resistance so in theory it would work no kissing with it on. Have you tried or heard anything about this?

    Hi Steve,

    Thank you for your comment. There are two trains of thought on this. One states it increases the risk of a current going through the chest if you kissed or your arm contacted your partner (the risks are very slim though).


    The other says it can be done very carefully. One thing to note though is pulling out or inserting your penis into your partner with the control unit on would result in a nasty shock, so insert first then switch on. You would need to insulate the area between you both so the current goes where you want and not simply through your thighs if in close contact. As you thrust the sensations would change and it could feel very pleasurable.

    It isn't something I have tried but if you think safety and insulation it should be possible.

    Hi Steve. I bought a simple small MONO butt plug from china. It has been 'fairly' effective but although I swop the position of the one sticky electro pad around, as well as trying pos or neg to the actual plug it doesn't always give a very good result. My question is, where would the best position be for the sticky pad in order to cause the plug to be more effective ? Maybe nearer, or further away, etc etc
    Many thanks

    Hi Michael,

    You don't mention what type of control box you are using so I am assuming it is a made for play box instead of a TENS unit.

    Hopefully, your mono butt plug is long enough to align with your prostate, you may want to try placing a pad style electrode or conductive rubber cock ring at the end of your cock. Place the pad on the top just under the glans or if using a loop place it just behind the glans. This will cause the current to run through your prostate and along your dorsal nerve which runs along the top of your penis.

    Check out position 2 & 4 in the guide above. For more information about the nerves in this part of your body check out this guide - https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/electrosex-penis-play-guide-for-hands-free-orgasms.html

    In position #2 tri phase effect, instead of the pad placed on the upper side of the Penis could I use a cock loop and plug both channels into it?

  • Joanne Summers
    Comment Link Joanne Summers Thursday, 25 April 2019 13:53

    Hi Mike, yes you could. I would suggest fitting it with the ends down and using some insulating tape you can insulate either side leaving about an inch in the centre that will then rest directly over your Dorsal Nerves which will concentrate the sensations. If it is too intense you can remove some of the insulation tape to tune it a bit.

    I just got my wife an insertable electrode. Can I put my cock into her vagina while the electrode is inserted?

    Thanks @Medipur and @Anon.

    @Greg Yes you can, use lots of conductive electrogel. If she is taking it analy then use conductive lube there and in her pussy. If you are looking to get both your cock and the electrode into her pussy definitely use lots of lube and take things slowly as you will both feel the current from the electrode.

    Not been enjoying my 2B recently and it's nice to read about mood, hydration etc, it got me in the mood and I've just ordered your 3D electrode insulator thing, which I am so excited to get hold of and so pleased I could support you financially in this way. I plan to use some tape to try and focus on those nerves later and let my girlfriend remotely control it.

    Thanks again, I'll be sending this website to her so she can learn too, as I find if someone doesn't understand it well it can make me frustrated very quickly.

Thank you for buying one of my insulators, it will be in the post to you tomorrow morning. Tape is a good option as is just a simple piece of cardboard, my insulators just make things neater.

    I've had a really good shot last night at most of the positions that are mentioned, Im new to the Estim way and I love it too much. I'm wearing a steal chastity device that has a 45mm ball on it to keep my ass locked, and now electrified !!!! I brought a while ago and a mystim, I don't have a key holder I just love wearing it Cold Steel !!!!
    Now ive seen this site Its given me a new direction on ways to do things
    The Gplug Twist Vibrating Anal Butt Plug is it possible to get that as an Electrosex device???
    How long does it take to get goods delivered to Australia from there ? If someone knows at all, could let me know thanks.
    And can someone tell me how i can get a Curly Wurly ASAP It looks like a mind blowing machine for endless anal !!!!!
    Thanks.

    Hi Nick,

    I am glad that you have been finding my site useful, the GPlug Twist is not an e-stim electrode unfortunately and I don't know of any company that makes a vibrating e-stim butt plug. You might want to check out the silicone butt plugs available from Electrastim though. I am not sure how long delivery takes to Australia as I guess it would depend on which options you select at checkout with them.

    The Curly Wurly is a DIY plug and the STL files are available at the bottom of this article - https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/diy-bi-polar-insertable-electrode-the-curly-wurly.html

    I don't make them to sell as they just require too much work but with those files, you can make one yourself.

    Happy Stimming,

    Joanne

    Hi Jo,

    This has been a great source of info as I have I have experimented with new toys and my new box.

    As I recently acquired a new bipolar plug, I noticed you don't really have any illustrations for men using a bipolar plug. Typically I see you use one channel from the plug to the cock head. What can you do if you have a second free channel to use?

  • Joanne Summers
    Comment Link Joanne Summers Sunday, 02 August 2020 21:13

    Hi Richard,

    Positions 5 and 10 show a bipolar plug and of course, you can use it for tri-phase play using either pole or even both. A bipolar butt plug on one channel and two cock loops are common ways to enjoy one, especially if you insulate the top half of the lower loop and put around your cock and balls.

    Thank you for making these guides, they have helped a lot. I want to try the tri-phase positions, but don’t know if my control box is capable. I have an ElectraStim FLUX EM180 and I can’t seem to find anything anywhere that tells me if I can or not. I don’t want to buy or modify anything until I know for sure. Any insight would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

    It is good to know that you have been finding my guides useful. I haven't reviewed the Electrastim Flux, but I reached out to them with your question and the answer is:

    "Yeah, Flux's channels are isolated and interpolated so 100% safe and compatible for tri-phase use."

    Hi So I’m new to the whole electrosex stuff but very intrigued. I am familiar with e-stim for therapeutic purposes. I was wondering if you had it recorded what the settings on the base unit are for the different set-ups you have pictured in this article. I would love to know them if possible so that I would have something to go off of.

    Hi Jennifer, it is good to know that you have found the delights of e-stim and are starting to experiment with it. It is pretty difficult to say what would work best for you and everyone interprets the signals in a slightly different way. This like control box and electrode types, electrode positions and even how hydrated you are can affect how a session goes.

    Experimentation is key to getting the most out of e-stim and keeping a session diary is a great way to be able to quickly zone in on what works best for you - https://www.sexmachinereviews.co.uk/estim-electrosex/e-stim-session-diary.html

    Hi Joanne,
    I am new to E-stim. Thank you for all of the information you have provided, I am still going through it all. I recently bought a cheap box with attachments from Ebay which may be the cause of my query. It is two channel and came with a bipolar butt plug for one channel and a conductive cock ring along with a 4" long metal urethra plug for the other channel. The signal comes through fine on either setup on their own but when both channels are both plugged in, I can no longer feel anything on the cock ring or urethra plug.

    I assume that I should be able to feel both and I need to go and find a proper box. Would I be correct or could I be doing something wrong ?

    Comment Link Joanne Summers Thursday, 30 December 2021 14:25

    Hi Pete, thank you for your kind words.

    It sounds like you are doing nothing wrong. If you are feeling things on a single channel then you have your electrodes wired up correctly, if when using both channels at the same time you feel nothing it sounds like the control box is the issue.

    You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to control boxes and there is a lot of junk on the market. Upgrading your box will definitely open up some nice possibilities for you. Happy stimming.

    I think many newcomers think in terms of stimulating only the skin area under the electrode. They may not realize that the current passing through the body encounters many deep nerves which are also stimulated. In fact, for the experienced stimmer, the placement of the electrodes is may primarily be chosen for the resulting circuit path created through the body. This is the unique power of electricity, that it passes easily through the body and stimulates otherwise inaccessible or hard to access parts.

    Thanks Joanne, for your unusually deep understanding of all things electro-stim: psychological, physiological, electrical. For that reason, this doesn't feel like a commercial site.

    Comment Link Joanne Summers Tuesday, 21 March 2023 15:49

    Thank you for your kind words David; you are quite right, current paths allow you to get creative with which nerve bundles you stimulate. A lot of fun can be had experimenting and fine-tuning positions. While my site is commercial in some aspects as I design and sell e-stim kit, I hope that it is a resource for all, especially those new on to the scene looking for accurate information as e-stim can be very confusing to a newbie. Happy stimming, Jo.

    Hi Joanne , I am newbie on electro estim I came across your website on information on electro pads placement and estim. I first try it with E.m.s tens unit which was hard then I got a healthmate forever yk15ab. I don't know if I can still use them for electro estim
    I then came across the electrastim em60 which I love which has one port .I bought a single lead wire with four electro pads .I was wondering if I can do the tri phase with out electro loops I don't have them and can use pad instead for that setup?.
    Ps l also was wondering if I should upgrade to the pebbles unit which I kind of like the features .

    Hi John, for Tri-phase play, you need two channels; you can't do it with one, I'm afraid. The Electropebble is a good control box it doesn't have isolated channels, so you don't need a tri-phase cable as the commons of both channels are connected internally.

    Hi Joanne,

    I love your site and this electrode setup is just great. I've got a 2B. I've managed some tri phase with a CR loop as common. I'd like to try using an adhesive pad as a common but I'm struggling to find out how. I have 2mm plugs. Can a pad be hacked safely or do I need to buy an adaptor to combine 2 x 2mm inputs to the pad? If so could you point me in the direction of one you know as can't find anything obvious.

    Many thanks and keep up the great work :)

    Hi Kevin, thank you for your kind words.

    An adaptor is the easiest way to connect to a pad, I believe you can get one from Gary at happystim-usa.com

    The other option is to make your own adaptor using an old pad and splicing its lead into the lead of the pad you are using.

    Hi, I'm new to electrosex. I have the Zeus Electrosex Palm Powerbox with 4 pads. Am I supposed to spread the lubricant around the area where I want to feel the stimulation? Is water-based lubricant adequatet for this?

  • Joanne Summers
    Comment Link Joanne Summers Monday, 09 October 2023 23:27

    You shouldn't use electrogel with pad-style electrodes, as doing so would prevent them from sticking to your skin. The tacky gel on the underside of the pads does the same job as electrogel whilst also being sticky.

    You can use water-based lube for insertables.
