Stun guns? Really?! - 4/26/2010 6:23:54 PM

Here's an interesting kink I over-heard that I hadn't seen in the forums before.

A friend of mine met up with a woman who was all about being shocked repeatedly with a stun gun. He turned her down, and probably for the best. I know that these gadgets must be generally safe, but I have heard tales of prisoners dying after being shocked, and I've never heard of repeated usage. I know there's a lot in this big world of kink I don't know about, but this one seems more than a little dangerous, particularly with repeated shocks by an untrained user.

Anyone on here have experience? Thoughts?

Edit: It seems there are a few threads on this already, and the stories about safety seem to differ from, "Totally safe and fun!" to "You are going to die if you try this!" I guess to each their own.

Electrically speaking most stun guns are fairly safe. But the one rule you need to remember is never cross the heart with electrical current. When the path of electricity cross the heart is when you put a person in danger. You potentially interupt the hearts electrical beat. For instance if your left hand touches a bare wire and your bare feet are on the floor, the current of electricity would flow through your left arm, through your heart and then through your body to your feet and finally the floor. This is more than enough to stop your heart.

Now a stun gun is different as the both electrodes are on the gun. The electricity here does not flow from the gun to the ground. The flow of electricity is from one electrode to the other. The electricty will flow the path of least resistance out one electrode then through your body and back to the other electrode. So it is hard to cross the heart's electrical signal. So using a stun gun belly button or lower should not interfer with the electrical function of the heart.

The other thing you need to be concerned about is how fit the person it. So even if you are not interupting the heart's electrical signal, you are majorly stressing the body and inturn stressing the heart and the whole cardio vascular system. Being stunned will cause andrealine to flow and inturn puts your body in fight or flight mode. Your heart races, your blood pressure goes up. This could lead to heart attack or stroke in someone how is not physically fit.

You can Google the danger of stun guns for more techical information. For the most part stun guns are safe but there is always a danger associated with almost any activity.

There is a reason they're called less-than-lethal instead of non-lethal weapons. They're for the most part not too dangerous in single or rare use. With pre-existing conditions, they can easily be lethal. With repeated use, you can develop rather nasty issues, some of them potentially fatal. I'd stick to cattleprods and other electrical toys instead, personally. (Was trained with them in the Army, and subjected to them. That's all the experience and knowledge I have on the matter. A professional should be able to answer you better, if you send an e-mail to the producer or something.)

Stun guns are a high voltage, relatively low current, device. Volts hurt, but amps kill. The comments of the previous posters is pretty much spot on; electricity takes the path of least resistance which is from pole to pole on the stun gun. It is unlikely that a stun gun applied near the chest will be lethal, but I still wouldn't do it out of an abundance of caution.

If she's up for playing with a stun gun with someone who hasn't been trained in their use, I'd steer clear of her.

And if anything goes wrong, what exactly are you going to tell the Police?
Safe, Sane, Consensual, there's nothing safe about electrocuting a human being with a fucking stun gun. Do you like the sound of prison food?

as an army MP (CDN-peace officer status) Well, I get shocked with them all the time, as a requirement to carry one, and to demonstrate for trainee's. I've not seen any problems from it. (i'm talking the two dart tazer style devices here) Including repeated hits (5 zaps in a row) and some as long as 30 seconds. Its horribly unpleasant, but I've never had need for medical assistance due to tazer's. Caveat: its always been young healthy soldiers getting the taze. They of course carry some risk of serious injury or death. But that would be something to decide with your partner. But overall, I'd not call it unduly dangerous.

You might want to read this article before using a stun gun. It just happened in Montana. How would you like to explain these types of injuries from "play" at the Emergency Room?

One good thing, is you use one only once or twice and a bitch is likely to quit whining about how they are not good at blowjobs, and start performing according to specifications (if not wholly exceeding them).

We used to hit each other all the time with the shocker sticks you use to herd cattle and hogs...one of those things that happens growing up on a farm...you get bored and start seeing who can leave it on their skin the longest or whatever....shrugs...we never had any ill effects other than a burn or two...generally speaking the points on those are only about an inch to two apart and we always hit legs or arms..........
