Electro-stimulation, also known as "e-stim," is the derivation of sexual pleasure through the administration of electric shocks to the genitals and anus. Not for the faint of heart (or Iraqi prisoners either, Mr. President).

I'm not an expert on e-stim, ESTIM, so I checked out the message boards at eroticelectrostim.com,"the fastest-growing electro-stim community anywhere." The best e-stim products available, according to numerous posts, are Eros Tek, manufactured and distributed by a company called SexTek (sextek.com). I sent an e-mail to SexTek, and David, the freakin' genius behind Eros Tek's products, called me right back.

David is a lifelong e-stim enthusiast. As a child, he enjoyed touching nine-volt batteries to his tongue. As a young adult, David began wiring himself up to all sorts of inappropriate things. "There were quack medical devices from the '50s that delivered interesting sensations," David said. "A product was supposed to promote hair growth by shocking scalps. Even today there are devices using e-stim for muscle stimulation as an alternative to exercise." These devices don't really do the things their manufacturers claim—grow hair, tone abs—but work just fine on genitals. "But they quickly become boring for erotic use," David said, "because they don't offer enough variety." Click here for full article
