Although less known, **electrostimulation** carries an intimidating name. That’s why we’re breaking down 3 common misconceptions about electrical stimulation today.
- “Electrostimulation is an extreme act reserved for people who are into BDSM.”
False! Electrostimulation, among other things, activates blood circulation and relaxes muscles. When you use this type of stimulation, you’re speaking your body’s natural language. There’s nothing extreme or scary about it!
- “Electrostimulation is only for sexual pleasure and has no other benefits.”
False! Electrical stimulation is derived from medical engineering and has been used to treat chronic pain, tension, and even to help muscles heal. It’s also known to be one of the most effective Kegel exercises out there!
Fun fact: The use of electrostimulation can be traced back to Ancient Egypt! At that time, doctors used pools of electric fish, which emitted small shocks as a defense mechanism, to treat patients with arthritis!
- “Electrostimulation is painful.”
False! In fact, electrostimulation is a form of sensory play, just like using a feather or a flogger! This type of stimulation can precisely target erogenous zones more accurately than many other toys. It can be intense, yes, but it can also be gentle and delicate, depending on the person’s desires.
