The connection between Geeks, Sex, and BDSM (or the period-appropriate term then extant) has always been around from time immemorial. We have the ancient Egyptians having patients standing on electric torpedo fish as a treatment for leg cramps…
Ancient Egyptian Physician: That was your first fish treatment. Do your cramps feel better, or do you need more treatments?
Ancient Egyptian Patient: (wincing in pain, rubbing his calves, and looking terrified) NO, NO, Doc. One was enough. I guess (moan) you cured me.
Ancient Egyptian Physician: If you don’t have BLUE ANK, that’ll be 3 drachmas please. (secretly enjoying the process with sadistic glee)
The ancient Greek Philosophers, of course, did the first investigations of electrical phenomenon. This generally involved sulfur balls, amber rods, and cat fur. They also developed devices for charge storage (not really true capacitors yet), and they usually loved to—for fun…and in the interests of the pursuit of knowledge of course—shock their friends (and non-friends) in the butt with these devices. And it isn’t too far fetched to imagine them doing the same to their lovers’ pink parts in the privacy of their bedrooms or baths.
This continued throughout the ages in the same vein—i.e., as parlor entertainment—until the “Age of Reason”, when the study of electrical phenomenon was being subjected to more scientific investigation. But even still, the temptation to “shock and amaze” their friends (…well more shock actually) they zapped them …where else… in the butt. (They did have a capacitor by then.) This was strictly in the “interests of science” …that’s it…yes…SCIENCE. Even the monk, Nollet, took delight in shocking a circle of his fellow monks …to demonstrate the principles of current of course.
Then around the turn of the 20th century, there were all sorts of amazing new machines and technologies that genuinely made life easier. Nicola Tesla with just the stuff and inventions alone of his that people could understand made the modern world possible. (BTW – one of his inventions is now used in E-Play, i.e., the Violet Wand). And, after all, “electricity was life” then. It could cure gout, falling hair, venereal disease, and what was then called “female complaints.”
Tesla must have had a streak of kink in him though. In his work on high voltage machines, he’d sit under crackling 10 and 20 foot long electrical arcs and read the newspaper by their light—and all without getting fried in the process. He’d even invite his celebrity friends to do the same. Mark Twain wrote that when he tried, he enjoyed the experience, but had to ask where the bathroom was afterwards for he had to do a No. 2. Presumably the normally reserved Tesla smiled.
Now here it is—the 21st century, and the geek sex/kink connection is still there.
Take, for instance, SlashDong.com. These are geek folk that are seriously looking into and building teledildonics devices and other on-line sex stuff. They even hold national conventions and such. You might want to check them out. There have also been a couple of commercial attempts at doing web partner-to-partner sex through the use of e-stim.
The ultimate in full-body-experience cybersex would be the cybersuit. The full-blown virtual with tactile reality—i.e., you can actually smell the musk and feel your sex organ being stimulated—cybersuit has yet to be invented. But one that is well on the way is being developed by the adult industry company “Vivid Entertainment” (careful of the pop-ups if you click). It’s really a glorified set of computer-controlled e-stim pads in a body stocking, but the attempt is a good start. (For more info, see [1] and [2]. And of course see my fiction piece on my website.)
But wait… Unc’ is thinking far outside the box. “E-Stim, HA! Cybersuits, piffle!”
Available today from Edmund Scientific are two “combat” toys that pack a wallop (shock actually). One is the “Laser Shocking Guns”, which is a e-shock version of paintball. Each player is fitted with an active target and a light pistol. If your light pistol hits your opponent’s target, they get a shock through their pistol’s grip (and vice versa).
The other is the “Remote Controlled Shocking Tanks”, which are two remote controlled, light cannon tanks that it hit by an opponent delivers a shock to the handles of your remote controller joysticks.
As someone once commented when I wrote about it on Tribe, “…it’s an extension of the Jackass phenomenon.” But in reality it had some origin in an on-line, web-based, punishment-consequence game invented by a couple of German college students. And, of course, there’s the old fairground “Test Your Strength” game where a shock would be delivered to someone holding onto a grip until they couldn’t take it any more and let go.
But both of these new toys just beg to be kink-a-fied. The Laser Shocking Guns can be easily adapted so that the targets and a shocker are attached to a subbie. Then the top can do subbie hunting where you aim for the targets to shock your subbie. Of course, you can determine the “degrees of freedom” they’re allowed in their attempts to avoid being shocked. Ahh, the fun, the fun. Hours of enjoyment for everyone!
As for the Remote Controlled Shocking Tanks, this is easily adapted to the “Dueling Masters” scenario where the Masters control the tanks, but the shocks are instead delivered to their restrained subbies. Talk about “…trust your master to protect you…” or “Subbie, do you remember that you didn’t have my coffee ready this morning…” kind of things. The possibilities are endless.
But wait… there’s more…
Ever hear of the Theremin? It’s a musical instrument based on RF fields being controlled by a musician’s hands playing over its two antennas. (It was the background music for the film “Forbidden Planet”.) It was invented by the Russian, Lev Theremin, in the 1920’s and perfected by him in the US. (Lev, BTW, was tricked into going back to Russia and was then forced by the KGB to invent some pretty clever war technology and spy devices—including the infamous “US Great Seal Bug” device.)
At any rate, I’ve often wondered that this instrument could be connected to a subbie. Then, using a grounded Mylar flogger, you could have a scene where by the sweet sounds of the subbie’s moans would be augmented by strains of ethereal music.
And that’s not all…
Ever hear a singing Tesla coil? By proper modulation of a solid state Tesla coil, the crackling arc can also be a sound producer faithfully replicating musical notes or even the voice. (To see a vid of it, go to Zeusaphone.com or check out "Singing Tesla Coils" at YouTube.) While this can be a knock-your-socks-off demo in and of itself, I’m thinking that this can be adapted to our old friend, the Violet Wand. Imagine jaws dropping in the dungeon as you’re doing a “singing Violet Wand” scene. The technology is out there.
I hope that this little piece stimulates some creative juices in you oh gentle reader (or the not so gentle ones too). I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts, comments, fantasies, and contributions. Kink is creative and so are geeks—a natural combination.
