One-line definition

Electric play uses electrical sensation on the skin as stimulus, and is generally treated as a high-risk category.

Full definition

The family runs from TENS-style units to the violet wand’s crackling static, giving sensations from prickle to jolt, plus the considerable psychological theatre of electricity itself. It is classed high-risk because the variables, such as current path, heart, nerves, skin condition, and equipment quality, are unforgiving of guesswork.

Risk reminder

Electrical stimulation involves cardiac, neurological, skin, and equipment risks. This is terminology only, with no equipment usage guidance.
