Violet Wand
The violet wand is a common toy used for electrical play.
The toy
creates a shocking feeling through static electricity,
and can provide a
wide range of sensations from tame to extreme.
The violet wand is
comprised of a base/handle that plugs into an electrical outlet,
and
various attachments made out of glass or metal.
Historically, people made claims that violet wands could cure everything
from baldness to cancer.
Of course, this was completely untrue.
You can
still find vintage versions of the violet wand in many oddity and
curiosity shops.
Modern violet wands can be found in many upscale sex
toy shops
and through online retailers.
Another version of the violet
wand is called the Neon Wand.
It is similar to the violet wand,
in that
it provides a shocking sensation.
The primary difference between the
violet and Neon Wand is the inner core.
The Neon Wand is made with a
solid-state metal core rather than a tesla coil,
allowing it to create
slightly sharper sensations than the violet wand.
The Neon Wand
generally has less range than the violet wand,
and is often
significantly cheaper for the base kit.

8 Violet Wand Sensations You Need to Try
Safety First!
Designed as, quite literally, a wand
that you hold it in your hand,
the tip of a violet wand allows the user to
plug in electrodes made of glass or other-materials.
While the handle
of the wand makes the electricity underneath the hand-friendly grip,
the electricity will flow through the electrode that's attached
- and
the wand holder can touch the electrode to the skin of the receiver
to transmit some pleasurable electric sensations!
Many newbies to
this pleasure compare lower settings to the erotic feeling
of
someone's fingernails gently scratching your skin.
The higher power
levels on certain wands are intense enough to brand the skin.
So,
of course,
safety and knowledge of what you're doing is of the utmost
importance.
When starting to play with a violet wand,
you need to ensure that you know a bit about how it works and
how to play.
Violet wands transmit electricity when there is space
between the wand itself
and your recipient's skin.
They don't
transmit electricity when the wand is actually touching the skin.
This means you'll need to lightly move the wand along the skin
- but
not touch the skin.
You can even watch the spark “jump”
between the wand the receiver.
When starting any sort of violet wand scene,
ensure that you start on some of the gentlest settings that
the wand offers.
Go back to the gentlest settings anytime you switch
electrodes,
sensations, or move to a new area.
As your partner seems
comfortable with that sensation,
you can gradually increase the
intensity.
Make sure to regularly check-in with your partner,
of
course,
but listening to their moans and shivers of happiness
should
be a good indicator that they're enjoying the power setting you're
currently using.
As thrilling and erotic as playing with electro - sex can be,
you need to ensure both you and your partner are
up for it.
Have a lengthy health conversation before touching any
type of electro-sex.
Does your partner have piercings?
Do they have
any health issues - especially concerning the heart?
Do they have an
IUD or any other metal parts inside of their body?
If they're
dressed, do they currently have any electronics on them?
Are they
sensitive to electricity?
Have they had any bad experiences with any
type of electricity before?
Pacemaker?
Possible pregnancy?
Make sure
to consult an electro-sex safety guide
and be familiar with
all of the safety concerns
before you even think about playing with
electricity.
Electricity is rewarding and can be orgasmic,
but never
forget that it can also be dangerous.
Have a first aid kit handy as well.
It's unlikely that you'll
need it, but it's best to be safe.
Just remember,
anytime you switch to a
new electrode or sensation,
make sure you reduce intensity and gradually increase it all over
again.
Now that you know the basics of an electric wand,
isn't it better that you know all of the unique ways you
could have fun with it?
While a standard violet wand and its glass
electrodes can offer hours
of entertainment on their own, kinksters are a creative bunch.
There are a whole lot more ways you can use
your electrified toy!
If you're looking to try something new,
consider some of these interesting sensations.
Hands-On Touch
Easily the most
versatile tool on this list and required for many other toys,
adding
"hands-on" touch
is one of the most enjoyable ways to play with an electric wand.
By using a body attachment (called
the "Power Tripper" on the Neon Wand line),
it allows an entire person's
body to become the wand!
Connect the cable to the wand and
slide the probe fully against someone's skin
(against
underclothing or a pant's waistband works well),
and there's no
reason to hold onto the wand istself anymore -
every time the person
touches something,
their touch will be electrified!
You
can use this for foreplay, for spanking, for sensual teasing, and
more!
Take care with this type of play.
While you normally need to know
the receiver's health
history for electro-sex play,
this attachment will require knowledge
about both partner's health.
Ensure that the giver doesn't have any
particular concerns
that would make them unsuitable for electro-sex
play.
Be aware that you may need to have a shorter electro-sex
session
than when using a wand by itself as well.
All of
the electric sensations will also be felt by the giver too.
Depending on
their tolerance for the sensation,
it may require taking
a break a bit earlier.
When using a body contact probe,
anyone
and anything can be electrified!
Try this fun party trick that almost
every electric wand owner has tried
by making a human chain.
Have the
person wearing the body contact probe grip firmly onto another
person.
Now this next person will also have an electrified touch.
They can touch other people for an electrified sensation
- or they
can grip firmly onto another person to continue the "chain."
Be aware that the resulting electrified sensation will start to
weaken
as every new person is added to the chain.
Electro-Friendly Floggers
You already love flogging.
Now you can add sensational, electrified
enjoyment
every time the flogger is swung!
While you won't be able to
experience hide materials like suede or leather,
electro-sex floggers
may be made out of
metal bead chains, mylar, or other conductive
materials.
While the flogger tails themselves won't make sensation
when resting against the skin,
it's that small gap between the tail
and the skin that makes the sensation electric!
Of course,
you get
that sensation, multiplied by how many tails the flogger has,
every
time the flogger is swung.
It's certainly much more interesting than
using an electric wand by itself.
Most electro-sex friendly floggers will
require the body contact probe,
or Power Tripper as mentioned above.
Those types of
floggers tend to be the most durable.
However,
some suppliers offer a
flogger electrode that plugs straight into the wand itself.
You'll want to be very, very careful with an electrode flogger
to
avoid damaging your wand during play.
Wartenburg Wheel
If you have a limited
budget,
the
Wartenburg Wheel offers a brand new type of sensation
while requiring very little money.
While this tool requires a body
contact probe (mentioned above)
in order to electrify the toy by
holding it,
the toy itself is relatively cheap and can also be used
without your wand
for a neat, versatile toy.
Each one of the
spokes will press individually into the skin with a sharp shock
before and after each press.
If you love the sensation of nails along
your skin,
you'll most likely love this toy.
Just be sure that you
keep the intensity on a lower power
as metal conducts electricity
particularly well.
Electro-Friendly Rope
Do you enjoy
rope bondage
and want an easier way to incorporate it into your
electro-sex play?
Welcome to electric wand rope!
The fibers of the rope
are braided with conductive materials.
This means the entire rope
will conduct electricity along its length!
Enjoy tying your partner
up and pressing the wand to the rope.
The rope will
conduct the electricity to every spot where it's tied!
Of course,
this requires a bit more forethought
to avoid putting rope near
unsafe areas such as
piercings, the face, or any other sensitive
spot,
but once you get everything worked out,
this can be an
amazing new way to experience electro-sex - and rope bondage !
Metal Finger Attachments
When used
with a body contact probe,
those "claws" that slide over
the fingers can be particularly intense.
Since each claw comes to a
point that's sharper than most people's nails,
these claws can add an
entirely different sensation for the recipient
- and can easily cause
scratches and marks.
(Just make sure that's what your partner wants!)
Head Scratcher Electrode
While you'll
most-likely need a wand that can function while upside down
(not all can!),
you can totally purchase an electrode that attaches
to your wand
that's shaped like one of those head scratchers.
Use it on kinkier parts of the body or use it (on very low power!)
to
add a bit of a zip to a standard head scratching.
New Glass Electrodes
If nothing else,
it's extremely simple to change up the basic sensation of your wand
just
by changing up the electrode attached to your wand.
While
most wands come with standard glass electrodes,
you can always choose
to pick up new electrodes.
Other electrodes include electrodes for
branding,
electrodes with a roller,
electrodes shaped like combs,
electrodes meant for zapping,
electrodes for a light saber look, and
more!
Anything Metal You Can Find!
To put an
end to this list,
you just need to know that your imagination is the
limit!
When used with a body contact attachment,
anything that's
conductive can provide a sensation.
I've seen people use cookie
sheets as spanking paddles while using their electric wand!
Make sure
to do some light experimentation with your potential idea
before
going all-in, but feel free to get creative.
