Fetish Fantasy Series Shock Therapy is a muscle stimulator with a name that is way too long. It consists of a controller which you plug a wire into. The wire then splits off into four wires with connectors on each end. There are four small, sticky pads that attach to the end of each of the connectors. While this sounds pretty complicated it's really not, and let me say, it's a lot of fun to play with!

The Shock Therapy kit comes in a small box that is the exact opposite of being discreet. Inside the box is the controller, a lead wire, 4 electrodes, a one-page instruction sheet, and an extremely crappy blindfold. The instructions aren't very clear, but once you play around with the "toy" a bit, you'll get the hang of it.

The first thing you have to do when setting it up, is to get 2 Triple A batteries. Next, you plug the wire into the top of the controller. After that you need to attach the electrodes to the end of the wires. Now, it's very important that you be careful with the electrodes. They have a plastic sheet over the sticky side to protect them. You're going to want to save these sheets so that you have something to put on the electrodes when you're not using them. The electrodes can be used over and over again, but only if they stay clean. This can be somewhat difficult to do at times. One thing I always do is clean my skin with a little bit of rubbing alcohol before I put them on. This is just to help remove any dirt and oils that would otherwise start to ruin the sticking ability of the electrodes. Something else is, you're going to want to avoid putting your fingers on the sticky side of them since your fingers will probably have either dirt or fuzz or oils. Once you have the areas cleaned and dried, it's time to play.

The first time I used this, it was pretty intense. It's amazing how much power 2 Triple A's have. And the great thing is that while it can be very intense, it's completely silent. There are bunch of different power levels built into the device. You're obviously going to want to slowly work your way up. Everyone has different sensitivities to electricity, so just know that a level that my be comfortable for you may be way too much for your partner. There are also different pattern settings. There are two main ones. The first one consists of the electricity simply "tapping" back and forth between the electrodes. It's a pulsing sensation somewhat like a heart beat and it is much less intense than the other mode. The second mode keeps the electricity flowing for several seconds on each electrode before letting up. Even on the lower-end intensity levels, this mode feels pretty powerful.

You also have the ability to adjust the speed of the pulses. For example, for the tapping mode, you can make it so that there's a big gap between each tap, around a second or two, or you can make it super rapid so that each tap is only a fraction of a second apart.

If you've never used a muscle stimulator before, which I had not, it's very bizarre. The electricity makes your muscles flex and tense up. The more muscular the area, the more intense the reaction. It takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you have no experience with electricity. I find that on the lower settings it feels really good, even massage-like. But once I get to the half way mark it starts to become too intense and at the top two settings it's flat out painful. As I said though, everyone is different so it's just going to take some trial and error to find out what you can take and even to find out if this sort of thing is right for you. And I really hope I don't need to say this, but I will just in case. This isn't safe for use in water or while your body is wet.

All I know is, I've been playing with this set a lot and I absolutely love it. It's not for everyone and it's hard to know if it's right for you until you try it. It has a wide variety of settings and intensity levels so that it should be suitable for everyone from beginners to experts. It's been a lot fun for me and my girlfriend so I'd say it's worth a try for you too!
