Violet Wand Advertising, 1927

Wednesday, October 21st, 2020 -- by Bacchus

There has been plenty of discussion of violet wands — both vintage and modern — here on ErosBlog. Originally marketed as a quack medical cure, they’ve seen fair persistence in the market as a dramatic e-stim (electrosex) sensation toy. But here’s an advertisement from a 1927 issue of Physical Culture magazine that leans heavily into all the original bogus medical claims. The Violetta Violet Ray from the Vi-Rex company could cure just about anything, supposedly:

Old Ben Almost Invented Electrosex?

Monday, April 3rd, 2017 -- by Bacchus

Apparently Ben Franklin, that prolific inventor and notorious dirty old man, came awfully damned close (at least) to inventing electrostim technology while he was experimenting with electricity. (We shouldn’t discount the possibility that he made inventions he never publicized for fear of moralistic reprisal.) But according to the Electrosex Blog, he did put on electric kissing demonstrations with a special machine for the purpose “so when their lips approach, they will be struck and shockt”:

Interrogated By A Pretty Rebel

Thursday, October 6th, 2016 -- by Bacchus

It’s entirely possible that he might have told her what she wanted to know hours ago. But the service she’s providing? He only got that once before in his entire life, and it cost him most of a year’s pay at that fancy brothel in the city:

Squish It Flat And Zap It Hard

Tuesday, September 1st, 2015 -- by Bacchus

You can’t tell me you aren’t at least a little bit intrigued by any discussion of sex play that includes this line:

It’s a complete pain to get his balls through the hole to start the process, but well worth the bother.

If that’s not enough to tell you what’s going on, this might be a clue:

Electricity: much less scary when I’m the one playing with the dial!

That’s right: this is a discussion of male junk getting the heck shocked out of it. Specifically, it’s Curvaceous Dee talking about zapping Hylas with a little bit (OK, a lot) of help from the penile-torment electric bondage board. (There are high-resolution pictures.)

Another “Shooting For Kink.com” Story

Sunday, January 20th, 2013 -- by Bacchus

I’m a sucker for these “porn model describes the shoot” stories. Partly it’s the “informed porn consumer” angle that I’ve writing about for years, but mostly it’s just the “behind the scenes” glimpse at an industry of interest. So, here’s another one: Rain DeGrey writing about her very first shoot for Kink.com. (ElectroSex Blog, where I got the link, says it was this shoot.)

Rain DeGrey in bondage during her very first photoshoot for Kink.com back in 2008

On the day I was booked to shoot I woke up early, mostly because I was too worked up to sleep properly. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning eagerly awaiting their chance to tear open all their presents in a frenzy of wrapping paper. Despite all the years I have now been doing modeling, I never ended up getting jaded. I still get that “nervous/excited/fluttery” feeling to this very day. Getting completely naked and vulnerable and cumming for the whole world to see and judge is a unique experience that you will never be able to grasp until you have tried it yourself.

Kink.com is located in an actual CASTLE, stretching a quarter of a block, 4 stories high and over a hundred rooms with a small river running through the basement level. It is like no other place in the world. The set department are constantly building and taking down sets so that rooms seem to shift, springing up and then vanishing overnight. Rope and floggers and shackles and ridiculously hot half naked people are everywhere as far as the eye can see. It is a kinky playground of the highest possible level.

I checked in with the talent department and filled out a check list of the activities I was willing to do with the Princess. I don’t think I checked a single “no” box on the list. You don’t say no to Princess Donna. Whatever she wanted to do to me, I was down. After being processed through the makeup and wardrobe departments I was ready to shoot. A friendly-faced PA showed up to take me down to the set where we were filming. I followed her, clad in a tiny white skirt and wearing the most makeup I had ever worn in my entire life.

The room was warm, verging on hot due to the giant lights set up everywhere that mercilessly chased away all shadows. Filming under bright lights on HD cameras gives you nowhere to hide and you can’t get away with skipping on shaving. I was sweating and we hadn’t even started yet…

Military Interrogation Gone Sideways

Saturday, November 10th, 2012 -- by Bacchus

This is your object lesson on why unsupervised military interrogations should not be conducted in San Francisco. One minute everything’s on track, you’ve got your guy standing there scared with somebody’s jockstrap in his mouth, surely he’s about to spill the beans:

And then without any warning at all your oh-so-serious tough-guy interrogator gets “caught up in the moment” and things get seriously twisted with the cattle prod and the forced butt licking:

Thanks to Bound Gods for doing it all wrong, but better — San Francisco style!

Ya Gotta Believe In Electric Sluts

Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 -- by Bacchus

Well, this announcement is a little bit awkward for a man who doesn’t believe in sluts.

Via the Electrosex Blog we find out that Kink.com’s newest site is an electrosex/electroplay site called Electrosluts. Here we see electroslut Mallory Malone wired up and about to be played like an electric organ. Or maybe like a theremin? Something noisy, anyway:

A Spark To The Nipple

Neon Wand Electrosex Toy

Thursday, August 18th, 2011 -- by Bacchus

If you’ve spent much time at all on the kinky web, you’ve seen the Violet Wand in use — a early-20th-century quack medical device that gets more action these days as a kinky sex toy. (Even here on ErosBlog!) However, even the modernly-manufactured versions seem to be based on ancient designs — they’re large and clunky and very expensive.

Thus was I amused and entertained to learn of the new Neon Wand. It’s the 21st century glowing-glass-electrode sex-toy device, with solid state electronics, a lighter-weight wand, and your choice of different glow-colors. Better yet, at $150, it’s a tiny fraction of the cost of the traditional wand kits:

Obviously I haven’t played with these new Neon Wand devices, but I have been “zapped” with a traditional violet wand and I can understand why people made sex toys out of them. The glass electrodes glow, and if you put a finger (or whatever) near them, an arc will flow that pulses and buzzes, as electricity will. The intensity is variable; it can be painful if you want it to be, but it’s usually just a sharp, strong, unique sensation. The combination of something that is visually stunning, sensationally intense, and just a little bit frightening? Instant sex toy.

Enforced Sexercise

Monday, July 18th, 2011 -- by Bacchus

When I made this sexercise bike post, I knew it was reminding me of something. This morning, I finally remembered what it was: this 2008 Wired Pussy photoshoot starring Ariel X being “forced” to exercise. Here Ariel is just beginning the exercise bike portion of the workout:

Her personal trainer, sadly, is not satisfied with her efforts. And being both a sadist and extremely personal, methods not available on The Biggest Loser quickly come into play. Methods involving electrodes placed in intensely personal orifices, wired to a fiendish device:

electrodes in her pussy and anus to encourage her exercise routine

Soon, Ariel is exhausted, and stops peddling despite the electrical inducements. Here she is just sort of sweating and twitching:

Well, that just won’t do. Her trainer quickly pulls out a more vigorous inducement: the cattle prod!

And she’s back to work! Nothing in life comes easy, m’dear…

Women Being Mean To Each Other

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010 -- by Bacchus

Given all the talk of men, women, and their relative roles and statuses in the making of BDSM porn, I sometimes find it amusing to pull out an authentic bit of F/F/f BDSM porn that’s as rough and raw as most of the stuff that gets everybody jumping up and down when it’s a man swinging the whip:

bound and whipped by other women

It comes from this shoot … and if you’re curious, I believe the implausibly large-looking metal object being shoved up her bum in this photo is an electrified toy called The Samurai (previously featured here).

A Shocking Intrusion

Saturday, September 11th, 2010 -- by Bacchus

Ever wonder what one of those hella-expensive electrified dildos feels like going in, the ones with the two different conductive surfaces on each side and the fancy electronic control box that lets the user (or the person with the controller, not necessarily the same person) vary the joltage?

Well, it would be an expensive experiment; electrosex gear doesn’t come cheap. But as part of my ongoing fascination with facial expressions, I was rathah amused by this “cheerleader punishment” video from Wired Pussy:

wired pussy electrosex movie

The plot summary — and it’s worth noting here that Kink.com has never been very good at hiring anybody who can write a sensitive and sexy prose description of one of their smokin’ hot scenes — is said to be this: “Coach Madeline likes to take a hands on approach with her cheerleading team so when Chloe starts slacking off on practice Madeline corners her in the locker room to whoop her back into shape. Hot lesbian BDSM roleplay with electro action.”

Urk. The movie, even though it’s just a jumped up 2-minute teaser, is better than that description makes it sound, trust me.

So anyway, the part that got my attention was about 20 seconds in. Mistress Madeline pulls out a PES Samurai curved electric dildo and starts giving Chloe the electrified business. And my oh my, does Chloe feel it:

An Expression Of Sadistic Glee

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 -- by Bacchus

There’s an old and hilarious Ray Stevens song called The Mississippi Squirrel Revival. At one point during that song, we hear about a woman named “Sister Bertha better-than-you” who is “watchin’ all the commotion with sadistic glee.” Well, I never really knew what “sadistic glee” looked like until I saw the special light in the eyes of Isis Love (she’s the one holding the red electric shock wand in case you were in any doubt) in this shoot from Wired Pussy:

E-Stim Without Sneering Journalistic Stigma?

Monday, November 23rd, 2009 -- by Bacchus

I continue to be impressed with the way that mainstream journalism continues to improve its coverage of adult topics. The swift, painful, and on-going ass-kicking that pre-internet commercial journalism has received in the internet age probably has something to do with it, but hey, I’ll take it.

The latest example to catch my eye is this neutral “local business profile” piece in the Las Vegas Weekly, profiling Paradise Electro Stimulations, makers of the P.E.S. line of electrosex (e-stim) toys. Not long ago, a company that makes products with names like “Rectal Pacifier” and “Corona Stimulator with Focusing Pods” would not have gotten the usual “meet our corporate citizens” friendly-profile treatment. Instead, they would have got a sneering “look at these perverts” article if they got mentioned at all.

PES rectal pacifier electrode

I’m liking the 21st Century better and better:

Paradise Electro Stimulations, a company founded in the Bay Area but now based right here in Las Vegas, has been bringing erotic electro stimulation (e-stim, for short) to curious adults for more than 20 years. Described by its manager as “the best kept secret” in town, I visited the company headquarters and its adjoining sex shop (that’s The Studio) to see what the (ahem) buzz is about.

First things first: What is e-stim? Erotic e-stim is the use of low-frequency electrical stimulation on the tissue and nerves of male and female genitals.

Most importantly, it isn’t about pain.

“The automatic assumption is shock, cattle prod, Taser, electric fence,” says Anna Fay, who has been doing marketing, customer service, research and development and almost everything else at P.E.S. for nearly a decade. “With this product, it’s not about shock.”

She adds, “You can torture someone by edging them, keeping them from climax, but it’s not about inflicting pain.” Actually, many customers are able to achieve a hands-free orgasm using P.E.S., Fay says. If that’s torture, sign me up.

The simplest form of e-stim comes in the form of electrodes you can insert into the body, as well as various rings. For more advanced users, self-adhesive electrodes are also available. All the electrodes are connected to a power box with knobs to control the pulses and frequencies.

The story goes on in that vein for awhile — the reporter even grasps an electrode and reports on the sensations — before concluding on a pleasure-positive note:

Whatever the reason that first brings customers into the store, Fay says few have hesitations at the checkout stand. “I’m amazed at people who come in completely cold and jump right in,” she says.

I’m less surprised. People will do (or pay) anything for the promise of more pleasure. That they’ll ante up for e-stim isn’t much of a (pardon the pun) shock.
