ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Erotic electrostimulation

Okay, so you know how sometimes your skin tingles or feels funny when you touch something with electricity, like the shock you get when you shuffle your feet on the carpet and then touch a metal doorknob? Well, adults sometimes use electricity to create these funny feelings, but in a way that feels good or even sexy. This is called erotic electrostimulation!

Some people like to use special machines or devices that send small electric pulses to sensitive areas of the body, like the genitals, and this can feel really amazing, sort of like tickling or massaging, but with a little extra zing. Other people might use electrified toys or even just their own fingers to create the sensation.

It's important to be careful and responsible with electrostimulation, and to make sure you're using safe devices and techniques. But for some grown-ups, erotic electrostimulation can be a fun and exciting way to explore their bodies and feel lots of different sensations.
