Perhaps that’s cruel, but…

Electricity is like pharmacopia, and not something you want to take lightly. You wouldn’t take a pill a stranger gave you if you didn’t understand what exactly it did.

Then again, some people might. And I’d call them idiots as well.

People understand things like fire… It’s visible, it’s obvious, you can at least see what it’s doing at any given point. Electricity is a lot more subtle. But it does have one simple rule.

Don’t ever cross your heart, unless you hope to die.

Seriously… You know how the Ghostbusters spoke of crossing the streams being a bad thing? This is the same way, only more so. Imagine a line between any electrodes you place. Don’t interfere with your lover’s heartbeat. Never, ever place two electrodes in such a way that the line runs through their chest.

And that, my friends, is 99% of what you need to know.

The other 1% would be to use certified TENS equipment and not do nitwit stuff like using wall current for stimulation.

Personally, I’m rather intrigued by the elecrostim stuff, and hope to play with some soon. It’d be a nice change from the more dangerous stuff I used to play with. :)
