There are many websites touting electrical stimulation of the genitals, as a means toward orgasm. This sounds too good to be true-you hook yourself up and turn on the juice-then you get an earth-shattering orgasm-no muss no fuss! Has anyone ever investigated this gear? does it really work-or does it deliver a “shocking experience”? If it did work, why would there be any need for hookers? ---

Wouldn’t that be rather painful? I mean, I understand that there are some folks who get off on pain, and such a device would probably work well for them, but most people don’t. ---

Yes, it works. My cite? You’re on the internet. If you were so inclined, or if you knew where to look, you could find hundreds of videos of guys and gals using various electrical stimulating devices to get themselves off. Suffice to say they’re extremely NSFW. For men it seems interesting because it’s truly a hands free orgasm. Women seem to use some sort of wand that passes over their genitals, although it seems they _could_ use a similar harness setup like the guys do (although maybe finding a way to wrap the clitoris up would be too difficult, which is why they use wands IME). I’ve never done it, but people seem to say it’s not really that amazing or anything – just a different sort of sensation than you’re used to. > [@](#): > > If it did work, why would there be any need for hookers? Good old fashioned manual masturbation also works, and yet it is found wanting.
