A violet wand is a sexual and or kink stimulation device that uses electricity to stimulate the erogenous zones of the body. A violet wand can induce a variety of sensations from a slight erotic tingle on lower settings to slight vibrations of pain on higher settings; it is a popular tool in BDSM play.

Violet wands serve to heighten your body’s awareness and sharpen your senses for a more enhance response to pleasure and or pain. Mentioned above the lower settings offer a ticklish sensation and it helps build the intensity and anticipation in both partners. Higher settings will give a little pain but a more intense experience and most likely will leave a mark on your skin.

Mostly used during BDSM play violet wands are also becoming popular with vanilla couples who want to experiment with more extreme pleasures from foreplay to some mind blowing sex.

WHIP UP SOME VIOLET MAGIC

Part of enjoying the intense experience that the violet wand gives requires to knowing how to use it properly. This guide will help on how to use a violet wand so that you enjoy yourself to the maximum when you play.

Sparks of electricity are transmitted from the wand via electrodes attached to a plastic handle, the glass attachments create the color glow that come from the wand and these electric sparks are transmitted when the wand comes close to the skin. Violet wands come with an instruction manual to also assist you with their use. Ever model will differ from the other so read up on the user manual before use.

To begin with always make sure that the power is turned off, select an electrode that you will insert into the end of the wand. For beginners it is best to choose a larger electrode that provides a large surface area for the electrical charge to move across it helps for a more contained electric shock. When you have picked your electrode and inserted it in place then it is time to switch on the violet wand.

Start off with the lowest setting possible by using a power dial on the violet wand. Using the power setting dial test for the best setting that suits you as the sensations will differ with each power setting. The wand will give off a vibrating crackling sound and this should not unsettle you, it is recommended to build up the intensity by adjusting the settings higher bit by bit to avoid an intense shock.

When you have found the best setting that “tickles your fancy” then you can start the wand play. Sensations will differ the further you hold the electrode from your skin the more tingly the sensation will be and holding the electrode directly against your skin will give a subtle sensation. Electric sparks are visible and shouldn’t startle you, when you hold the violet wand away from your skin you will notice these sparks from the wand to your skin.

Choose the best area that you feel is responsive and sensitive to use the wand on, using the violet wand on the neck, back, between the thighs or behind the knees will give off quite an intense pleasurable sensation as these zones are very sensitive. Using a higher power setting will give off a more intense sensation and the stimulation will be more defined and will make your foreplay very exciting and serve buildup to more exciting sensations during sex.

SOME BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR USING YOUR VIOLET WAND

You can apply three simple techniques when using a violet wand, these are direct, indirect and reverse technique.

DIRECT TECHNIQUE

The most common technique used by people when it comes to using a violet wand, it’s the most basic and in some cases the only way people know how to use a violet wand. Only a violet wand and an electrode are required for the direct technique.

Current is applied directly from the violet wand onto your partners skin, thus derives the name direct technique. People are drawn to the simplicity of the technique and it is easy to master off the bat, if you do the following:

  • Attach the electrode of choice into your violet wand (sensations will differ with each electrode, because of the different properties of the electrodes)
  • Allow the current to jump from the electrode to the skin by hovering the violet wand above your skin.
  • The higher you place the violet wand the stronger the current will be whereas placing the electrode directly on the skin gives a warm sensation, try out at different heights until you get the sensation that is to your liking.
INDIRECT TECHNIQUE

The indirect technique turns up the kink by a notch, Current will not flow directly from the wand but will flow through your partner to you (sounds awesome) and well it is special. Current will flow from the wand through your partner to you, it is a bit difficult to master but nothing a little practice can’t solve. For this technique you will require a violet wand, a body contact probe and a violet wand indirect accessory. Be ready to have an electrifying touch!

Make sure that the violet wand is unplugged the do the following:

  • Attach the body contact probe into the wand (usually this can come as pads so one end attaches to the wand)
  • Attach the other end of the electrode or pad on to your partner.
  • When the wand is turned on your partner’s body will be an electrode and current will be flowing through them

It will work as the wand will do the sensation will vary depending on the height at which you place your fingers from the skin as current will be flowing from your fingers.
Since you or your partner will have become the electrode, you will be able to utilize the current flowing from your body to pleasure each other through a continuous stream of electric sparks. Try teasing your partner’s nipples by hovering them directly over their breasts, or tease their skin with a tingly sensation varying in the distance for different intensity levels. This is not limited to touch only as you can give mind blowing oral sex and it is electrically satisfying, even kissing will be quite intense with sparks and sensations flowing from one body to the other creating an erotic scenario.

This technique is also great in that it allows to integrate accessories into the play. For BDSM couples (even vanilla couples too) a mylar flogger can be quite handy, as it adds to the enhanced play. Sparks will fly off the flogger to your partner from the flogger tail, the sensation is mind-blowing. Everything that you will touch, as long as it conducts electricity will become an indirect electrode through you. The sensations will differ due to the different conductive properties of each of the items so it’s great to experiment with different toys and materials.

By adjusting the power setting on the wand and varying the toys that you will use as indirect electrodes every time you play the sensations will be different and with a lot of possible pleasure points so be adventurous trying out new items as electrodes.

REVERSE TECHNIQUE

It is the least used technique of the three and the least known, it is the indirect technique but with a twist, the body contact probe will be on your partner. Now current will flow through them and anything toy you use on them will cause sparks on them. Sounds tricky? Well not at all do the following:

  • Make sure the wand is turned off or powered down.
  • Place one end of the body contact probe into the wand.
  • Attach the other end of the body probe on to your partner (anywhere would do on exposed skin)
  • You can use different body probes (weighty body contact probe which can be attached to a piercing).
  • Turn on the wand, you partner will not feel the flowing electricity, but will feel the sensations that are produced by the sparks being conducted by the toys you will be using on their body during the play.
  • Feel free to try anything on your partner as you have free movement, experiment with different materials that conduct electricity and you will pleasure your partner with some intense erotic shocks.
  • Your partner should maintain contact with the violet wand

Violet wand techniques come with many variations and additional toys, foreplay is greatly enhanced by a violet wand. If you are looking for some fantastic electro sex play the violet wand should be your best friend, remember to always play with caution, and to prioritize you and your partner’s safety at all times. So go ahead and electrify your bedroom.
