Electrical Play, or electro/electrosex, involves the use of electrical currents to cause a stimulating effect on nerves in the body. Electricity is known for it's very wide range of intensity in the context of play from incredibly subtle like a light touch of the wings of a buzzing bee to completely torturous and capable of making permanent marks and brands. Electricity is also known for it's lethality factor as in the context of a scene as a person cannot act quickly enough to respond to a life threatening emergency caused by improper technique or catastrophic equipment malfunctions.

The key to increased safety in Electro Play is understanding basic safety issues and how each piece of electrical equipment works as different devices can vary drastically.

Electrostimulation, in general, can cause tissue damage or even death if misused. The most common problems arising from electrostimulation tend to be burns from lack of lubrication or bad contact between the electrode and the skin's surface. Even at relatively low current and voltage, there is also risk of interference with normal heart function (potentially including cardiac arrest), and this risk is higher for those who use an artificial pacemaker or similar device or who have heart conditions. Because of this, it is not advisable to place the electrical contacts in such a way that current passes through the chest cavity; never use electricity on a person who has a pacemaker.

Always inspect gear to ensure electrical play equipment in good working order before each use. Be responsible in your actions and educate yourself as to the proper use of each electrical tool/implement as these implements can kill suddenly and without warning due to improper technique and catastrophic equipment failure.
