Electrosex Penis Play Guide For Hands Free Orgasms

Feb 06, 2019

Or, Joanne's guide to zapping your cock

This article is not safe for workFirst of all this article is a little bit naughtier than my usual ones and it depicts explicit visual demonstrations of electrode positioning on men so before you scroll down please make sure it is safe and wise to do so where you are.

I have been using electricity to get myself off now for a number of years. As a vagina owner, I have spent a lot of time reading and educating myself about its effect on penis owners, as I like a bit of cock and enjoy playing with them so much LOL.

I am qualified to whittle on about how to get good orgasms for vagina owners, but I wanted to understand why some guys find it so hard to achieve an orgasm through e-stim. It doesn't seem fair that I can get off pretty much every time I e-stim myself when lots of penis owners can't.

I started to wonder if it could be down to a lack of knowledge about how e-stim interacts with the male nervous system as it is laid out differently to my own as we differ biologically. I set about collating as much information about penis play as I could to hopefully condense lots of good advice into this guide.

I want all penis owners to be able to achieve an e-stim hands-free orgasm, and hopefully, some of the information that I am about to impart may indeed help you to achieve one if you don't already enjoy them.

For lots of guys though some of the information contained in this article will be quite interesting as I am going to delve inside the penis to show you why certain things work very well and why others don't.

I am going to give everyone a crash course in the nerves of the penis and ballsack; these are the Dorsal Nerve and the Perineal Nerve and why they are crucial to a fantastic cock stimming session.

So without further ado, here we go. Cock stimming 101.

Orgasms

Firstly, remember that an estim orgasm isn't generated in our sex organs it is generated within the brain, so the first thing to think about is getting into the right mindset. Focussing on that elusive hands-free orgasm (HFO) is probably not going to help. You need to relax and enjoy the journey, get stimming right and the orgasm should follow.

If you masturbate watching a certain kind of porn or with certain songs playing in the background then makes sure you replicate that for your e-stim sessions. You need to be as relaxed as possible so that you can enjoy yourself more.

Our brains interpret signals that we receive through our nervous system and this leads to arousal and eventually orgasm. We use e-stim to directly stimulate the nerves in our genitals, and these signals are processed by the brain just as if you were masturbating or having sex. This can lead to enjoyable and powerful orgasms. It sounds so easy, doesn't it? But in practice, lots of things can get in the way.

Electrodes

I can orgasm readily using external pad style electrodes or my prefered method which is using an internal bi-polar electrode.

This second type of electrode is a fantastic choice for penis owners as well becasue we all have somewhere to accommodate them. Penis owners, of course, have a prostate gland which I do not possess (I wouldn't trade my g-spot for one though) which I may devote another article to, but in this one, I intend to cover electrostimulation of the penis using cock rings and self-adhesive pad style electrodes.

Nerves of the penis

Now, I hope that these images don't upset anyone, but it is important to know how your nervous system works especially with the two nerves that I will be talking about.

Pudendal nerve

This simplified drawing shows the two nerves that we are interested in for cock play when it comes to e-stim. These are the Dorsal Nerve and the Perineal Nerve.

Dorsal Nerve

The dorsal nerve runs along the top of the penis on the outer sides of the dorsal arteries and dorsal vein. This nerve serves to transmit sensations from the glans of the penis to the brain. It is how the sweet sensations of masturbation and the friction of fucking are felt and enjoyed.

Stimulating this nerve will cause sensations that feel like they are focussed in the glans of the penis.

Dorsal Nerve Of The Penis

Perineal Nerve

The superficial and deep perineal nerves run behind your ballsack basically between your anus and up into your scrotum. This is another nerve that you will want to focus on as it produces very nice sensations.

Foreskin Nerves

After an excellent suggestion by Alanh on the E-Stim Systems Forum, I am adding a quick note to remind everyone not to forget the nerves in the foreskin. For all of you with uncut foreskins, you may find direct stimulation of your glans too intense due to having it protected under your foreskin. Fear not, try stimming through your foreskin or even if you can, try bunching it up and wrapping a piece of conductive rubber tightly around just the foreskin to experiment with directly stimming the nerves within it. You may be surprised at the sensations.

It's a great reminder of the need to experiment when you enjoy your e-stim sessions, everyone experiences it differently and if you don't experiment, then you may be missing out on some incredible sensations that were just around the corner.

E-stim Cock Play

If you try to stimulate both of these nerves at the same time, you will often see the sensation will be focussed in the glans of the penis. But your perineal nerve will also be sending signals to your brain, and while they may be drowned out by the dorsal nerve message, your mind will interpret them to help you along the way to an orgasm.

There are a number of ways to wire up your penis in an e-stim circuit; you could use self-adhesive sticky mono-pole electrodes, a penis plug which goes into your pee tube (the urethra) or cock rings. These cock rings are usually made out of metal or conductive rubber.

A conventional method of stimming a cock is to use two adhesive pads or cock loops. One placed at the tip of the penis just under the glans and one placed at the base of the penis or around the penis and testicles.

Image showing two cock rings stimulating the Dorsal Nerve
This image shows a standard two cock ring set up for stimultaing the Dorsal Nerve

This method only stims the dorsal nerve ignoring the perineal nerve completely as the current will pass along the top of the penis from one electrode to the other.

It is far better to have the current stimulate both nerves. This can be achieved by movng one self-adhesive pad electrode to over the perineal nerve or if using two cock rings insulate the top half of the one that goes around the cock and balls. This top insulation of the lower cock ring will cause the current to flow down and through the perineal nerves to the lower side of the cock ring at the base of your scrotum.

You can get away with just insulating the top quarter of the lower cock ring as you just want to insulate the dorsal nerve, however my Stunt Cock prefers half insulated, so try both.

Why stimulate both nerves? Well, why not, you get twice the level of stimulation and both of these nerves are wired into the pleasure centre of the brain. Stimming both at the same time gives much better results than just focusing on the dorsal nerve.

Image showing two cock rings stimulating both the Dorsal & Perineal Nerves
This image shows how modifying one cock ring can allow you to stimulate both Dorsal and Perineal Nerves

So the best way, in my opinion, is to have one electrode over the dorsal nerve at the top of the penis and one electrode over the perineal nerve. Try it and see what I mean.

If you find that you get a stinging sensation under the tip of your cock where the top cock ring sits you can insulate the underside of this ring. It can happen if you have a very sensitive urethra (pee tube). Insulating the bottom of this cock ring isolates this part of the penis from the circuit while still applying current through your dorsal nerve.

Always remember to use a good quality electrogel on your cock rings to aid their ability to spread the e-stim signals and this helps to prevent any hot spots.

3D Printable Cockring Insulator

New ArticleI have designed some 3D printable insulators and guides for 4mm and 6mm Conductive Rubber Cock Loops (the ones that take 4mm banana plugs or 2mm tens plugs). The designs are done and tested with great results.

I am offering the 3D designs for free for anyone who wants to print them out at home to make insulating the top of a cock loop easy. Another benefit of it is that you get no pinching when tightening the loop. I have so far produced two designs.

Tri-Phase Penis Play

Everyone talks about tri-phase and again these two electrode positions work like a dream for anyone enjoying tri-phase fun in conjunction with a third electrode which is often an anal plug style electrode.

In essence tri-phase play is using two channels through three electrodes. One electrode takes two cables and this is where the sensations are likely to be felt the most. It is useful as the two channels work to interact and create unique sensations caused by the interference between the 2 channel signals

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

Tri-Phase Method 1

This image shows a Tri-phase set up using a modified cock ringThis is a Tri-Phase setup suggested by x65125 on Smartstim.com (thank you for sharing it with us).

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 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.

Tri-Phase Method 2

This image shows a Tri-phase set up using a modified cock ringThis 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.

Other Tips

There are so many variables that can affect your e-stim play, here are a few pointers and tips for you to think about.

  1. Make sure that you hydrate, as being well hydrated makes electricity flow much easier through your tissue and nerves. This makes e-stim that much more pleasurable.
  2. Remember to use conductive lube on cock rings no matter what material they are made out of.
  3. Relax and take your time, with e-stim the journey is as much fun as the destination.
  4. Keep a session diary to note down settings and electrode positions. It will help you recreate amazing ones even months or years later and help you to avoid mistakes you made in the past. I have one you can download for free here. - E-Stim Session Diary
  5. Ensure self-adhesive pad electrodes are firmly fixed in place. I often shave areas I am going to attach them to and sometimes tape them in place.
  6. Bigger is not necessarily better when it comes to e-stim. Big electrodes may feel great stretching you open, but their large surface area means they will make the e-stim signal much weaker. Smaller electrodes provide more power because of their small surface area.
  7. If something didn't work for you, try it again on another day as stress, hydration and other things can affect play.
  8. Don't fixate on the hands-free orgasm, e-stim can be a fantastic way to give and receive pleasure even if it doesn't result in an orgasm.
  9. Don't get upset if you don't reach a hands-free orgasm the first time that you stim. These things take experimentation and time, but when you eventually get there, you will be hooked.
  10. Remember that you can always increase stimulation with other toys. I can recommend a wand style vibrator if you are having problems getting over the edge.

    Dear Joanne, I’ve just discovered your website and want to say thank you for creating such a great resource. I’ve been regularly playing with and enjoying estim for about a year. I have great pleasure using both cock straps and anal plugs. I’d really like to try some of the trip phase arrangements too but am wondering about my electro pebble unit. Is it capable of being configured in this way. Also, related, should I upgrade to a 2b unit. I’m interested in the erotic possibilities of remote control. Once again thanks for a great site. Paul

    Hi Paul, thank you for the kind comments. Your Pebble can be used in a Tri-phase configuration so give it a go. Upgrading to a 2B is expensive but well worth it as it is a fantastic e-stim controls box and the one I play with most. It also gives you the opportunity to enjoy some remote play options too. Happy Stimming. Jo x

    @Kirk - thanks

    @William - What machine and what electrodes are you using. As a general rule of thumb, the smaller the surface skin content area the harsher it till feel, larger electrodes feel smoother. Also if you are using loops or pads on your skin, then ensure you have good skin contact, consider shaving the area and for loops use lots of conductive gel to ensure a good contact.

    I'm not sure if I get this right. In case 2 and the two tri-phase examples, if the insulator is the yellow connector, shouldn't it be depicted up side down?

    When e-stiming should the foreskin be pulled back before insertion into an e-stim cock cage?

  • Joanne Summers
    Comment Link Joanne Summers Friday, 12 August 2022 12:02

    @GordonShock in the images, the yellow sections aren't showing my cock loop insulators, it is highlighting the area that you need to insulate. You can use anything to do that from a strip of plastic to heat shrink tubing or even a piece of cardboard. My cock loop insulators just make it neat and easy to set up, and if using mine then the connections would be on top rather than on the underside of your tackle.

  • Joanne Summers
    Comment Link Joanne Summers Friday, 12 August 2022 12:03

    @andy, that is purely personal preference; with your foreskin pulled back, it will probably feel more intense.

    Any advice on setting? Pulse length and frequencies. I ha a machine in the past that i perfected pulse width on but it died. I need a width and frequency to simulate waves of intensity like fucking or masterbating.

    Hi Joanne summer's
    I've came across your website. I have been reading your articles book on estiming which great information .I am a newbie to estim for about 2 months or so. I PURCHASED A em-60 estim machine which I love but also thinking to upgrade to the pebble estim what do you think.
    I came across your tri-phase method .I want to know if i can do that with a single lead wire with four electro pads meaning that my em-60 has one channel port. I sometimes use the single lead when I want to estim my penis and balls .I attach 2 pads one on my penis side and one on my ball sack and I do the same on the other side with the other pads. MY QUESTION is how can I get a stroking affect using single wire with four pads.. your truly yiani.

    Comment Link Joanne Summers Friday, 19 May 2023 08:25

    @Dennis Every control box will produce different sensations even with the same settings, you would have to experiment with yours to find out what works best for you. There are too many variables, from hydration, electrode sizer and position to which control box or method of stimming you are using.

    @Paul Tri-phase is a lot of fun, and using a butt plug as the common is a good choice due to its larger skin contact area.

    @Yiani You can't od tri-phase with a control box with only one output channel. Tri-phase conbines two channels. You can use multiple pads with one channel but it will not give a tri-phase effect. The ElectroPebble is a good control box and the one that sub'r' usually plays with. It has the common side of both channels connected, which makes tri-phase play easy with no need for a tri-phase cable.

    Hi Joanne, this article and the responses above have inspired me to venture into the world of estim. The illustrations are very informative.

    I'm interested in those insulated loops if they help give more of a buzz than a zap. Would you recommend a thicker loop (eg. 8mm)?

    Also, do guys tend to enjoy estim prostate devices or butt plugs more? I plan to use one in a seated position so the Habanero might be the way to go but I'd be interested in your feedback.

    And what about plugs? Is there one out there that doesn't sting?

    Cheers!

  • Joanne Summers
    Comment Link Joanne Summers Friday, 28 July 2023 12:23

    Hi Nate, it is good to know that you have been inspired to give e-stim a go. As a basic rule, the larger the electrode skin surface area, the smoother the sensations, so 8mm loops will feel smoother than 6mm and so on.

    Prostate play is popular, but you will still feel most sensations on the glans due to the number of nerves there, especially is using cock loops as you will be stimming the dorsal nerve.

    Plugs are good, but you need to be able to take the one you are looking at comfortably; due to their much larger surface area, they need more power, so bigger is not necessarily better. Popular ones are the Flange, Moaner and Flo range. The habanero is a good option for seated play as the cables attach from the side.

    I have enjoyed your articles. I’m a first time user but I have questions. I’ve Tens four times now with no orgasm. Last night after about an hour and nothing happening I finally tried raisin up the intensity. Normally 3 to 4 is comfortable. Last night I ran the number past 4. To started to feel uncomfortable but once I past the discomfort I continue to raise the power. Soon I felt euphoria. My legs stiffen and it felt like I could orhasm but it didn’t happen. I did this four times and each time I felt as if I could cum. The intensity was very high. If I finally reach an orgasm will the next orgasm come easier and faster and will I need to raise the power so high. I don’t want a heart attack but it felt great. Am I doing this right. I need help. Thanks.
