Fetish Fantasy shock therapy - light bdsm kit by Pipedream - review by 00

"Ouch! WOW! Oohh! WOW! Please do it again!"

Yes, that's me. And no, I am not a hardcore masochist, an electro-sex junkie or a "pain slut". But having previously owned an EMS(Electrical muscle stimulator device), I wanted to try this one out.

Not to get all technical, but many people confuse an EMS with a TENS device (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). They aren't the same. A TENS device is used to help block and control chronic pain and works very well in professional hands and for many people who cannot get pain relief from other means. An EMS device uses electrical impulses to cause muscle contractions. It is a proven form of electrotherapy in the medical community. Basically, it causes electrical current to flow from the device through the adhesive pads and into your muscles causing them a slight, or not so slight shock, depending on what it is set to and how much your partner wants to toy around with the controls.

While this may sound SHOCKING and even painful, it really isn't. At least not while the control is in your own hands and it is turned down on the lower settings. Unfortunately, when you get all excited, grab your husbands forearm, attach all four pads in very close proximity to each other and flip the control on PRIOR to adjusting the settings, the fallout can be hilariously entertaining to whomever is holding the controller. Needless to say, he won't let me apply them to him again. I get to be the receiver. That's fine! I love it!

Pipedream introduced their Fetish Fantasy Series, of which "Shock Therapy" is a major part. This is far more than a toy. On the lower settings, it's an exciting way to enjoy foreplay with your partner. Dial it up a bit and it's a sexual stimulator that can get the juices flowing well. Dialed up to the highest settings and it will please just about any BDSM practitioner who wants to get/give some punishment/pleasure.

Outside of the sexual realm, it is a fantastic muscle massager. When using it on my shoulders and neck at a low pulsating speed, I was so relaxed after 10 minutes that I almost fell asleep.

The kit comes with the easily held, under 3 inches long, digital power control with LCD screen, 4 adhesive pads (these are easily reused and don't leave any sticky type residue),the lead wire that goes from the power control to the pads and instructions. There's even an eye mask included for those that want to be "in the dark". The control unit displays function, intensity levels, any of the 3 pre-programmed patterns you may want to choose from and provides more than 100 combinations of stimulation. It even has a timer. It takes 2 AAA batteries. Depending on the specific muscle or area you attach the pads to, the choice of intensity and the choice of pulsation pattern, you can give or receive a wide variety of enjoyable and pleasant delights or some rough, rather intensely painful and jarring jolts. The choice is yours and your partners.

And try this---you can both use it at the same time! That's right. You can attach two pads to one person and two pads to another person and stimulate both at the same time. Poly-electro-stimulation. I wonder if I just coined a new phrase there?

Maintenance-The part of the pads that attach to the skin have a gel-feeling adhesive and come covered with a thin sheet of plastic which is best saved to cover back over the pads after use. This protects the adhesive for more times of play. This adhesive will attract dust, lint and such and will after a time become less sticky and effective, so take care by not laying them down on blankets, carpets, ect. In the event the pads become too coated to stick to skin, Pipedream has produced a package of 12 additional pads that you can get for this product. Also they have other products designed to go with the "Shock Therapy", such as nipple clamps, cock cage and even an insertable attachment. There is something for just about anyone that is interested in "e-stim" massage.

A few words of warning now. According to common sense and the instruction guide, if you suffer from heart disease, use a pacemaker, have epilepsy or other neurological problem or disease, are pregnant or are under the close care of a physician, you should refrain from using this device unless you first discuss it with your physician. Do not use this on metal items in your body such as piercings. If when using this you experience any pain or discomfort that you do not like or are concerned about, stop using it.

Overall, I am more than thrilled with "Shock Therapy".

Although we do not use this as much as we had been using it, we still enjoy it. It has been a nice thing to find out that the batteries are lasting a long time and that the adhesive pads also last when care is taken with them.
