What Is E‐s m?
E‐s m involves using a TENS unit or TENS‐like unit (“power box” as
ErosTek and similar devices are called) that takes a DC (direct current)
charge and amplifies the output while also boos ng the voltage. This
gives it the ability to penetrate beyond the ter ary (surface) layer of the
skin. The current flows between two places on the body. The ar cles
placed on the body where current is exchanged are called electrodes,
and the current passing between the electrodes creates the sensa ons
felt.

Who Shouldn’t Try Electrical Play?

This statement from the ErosTek 232 user manual sums it up well:
“E‐s m devices are NOT for use by or on anyone with implanted electron‐
ic devices (i.e. pacemakers, defibrillators, drug pumps, etc.), heart prob‐
lems, heart disease, epilepsy, brain disorders, nervous system disorders, a
history of strokes or seizures, serious skin problems or similar medical
condi ons. Not for use by pregnant women, women who might be preg‐
nant, or anyone under the age of 18. Keep away from children. Current
passed through the heart, neck or head can be fatal.”
To reiterate: playing above the waist is dangerous!
Unless you have the qualifica ons to do so never build or modify your
own device and draw your power from a wall socket. The devices we
will be talking about are all ba ery‐powered, either by AA, AAA, or 9V
ba ery. If you plug these into a wall socket and there’s a lightning strike
or other sort of power surge the results could be disastrous.

Why Try E‐s m?

E‐s m can be done solo or with one or more partners (if using with more
than one partner it’s a good idea to keep any physical contact between
them beneath the waist). Many men and women report hands‐free
orgasms when using e‐s m, as well as be er sex with their partner
immediately a er using it. It may be used for pleasure, pain, or both,
depending on the desire of the operator and/or their partner.

How Do You Create Your Own E‐s m Devices?

For the purposes of this class we’ll be modifying low‐powered amplifiers
(1‐2W) by removing the speaker and replacing it with a transformer, in
our case two audio output transformers from Mouser.com, part number
#42TU003‐RC . These are available for $3.14 each.
The transformer amplifies the output and boosts
the voltage, so instead of the electricity sending
sound through a speaker, it sends it through the
transformer and becomes a sex toy when the
right devices are a ached.
When wiring transformers to these devices always
remember that transformers are different, so they
will all connect differently. What works for the
#42TU003‐RC won’t work for other brands/types.
The way we’re wiring the transformers together
today is referred to as the “suicide configura on”
in the “Davey Box” instruc ons (the Davey Box design, while modified
today, is the basis for this design). This configura on allows for the most
power.
Note that since we’re opera ng with such low levels of power resistors
(which reduce electric current) aren’t necessary.
MP3 Speaker Docks
These are cheap (less than $6 shipped, available on eBay when
searching for “Portable Docking StaƟon MP3.”) It’s important to note
that the design on these docks is not consistent.
Some docks have independently powered speakers so you can make a
two channel box by tearing out the speakers, connecƟng the trans-
formers to where the speakers were, and soldering them to two
3.5mm female jacks.
Or you can rearrange the wires by placing both red speaker wires to
one transformer wire, the other two speaker wires to another trans-
former wire, soldering them together, then soldering the blue and
green wires from the transformer to the 3.5mm female jack.
Other docks, like the one you will see today, do not have inde-
pendently powered speakers. You’ll need to use alligator clips to test
the sound and make sure where the power is coming from before sol-
dering the wires together and compleƟng the project.
In this instance the power comes from the leŌ black wire and right
red wire. This was determined by using alligator clips to connect the
wires and tesƟng various combinaƟons.

What You’ll Need:

A MP3 dock similar to the one described

One 3.5mm stereo jack (available on eBay, make sure to get one
with a socket so you can mount it)

Two audio output transformers (part #42TU003-RC from

Mouser.com—other smaller transformers may work too)
. Alligator clips to create temporary connecƟons and figure out how to
wire the transformer to the dock + alligator clip to banana plug probe

A Dremel or drill with a small drill bit (you’ll have to drill a small hole
to mount the 3.5mm stereo jack) and to cut away some of the plasƟc near
the point you’re mounƟng it

Soldering iron with solder + short lengths of wire

Super glue or epoxy to aƩach the transformers to the dock

Phillips head 3/32” screwdriver (available at most Dollar Stores)
This is what the dock looks like when first opening it:

Unscrew the eight screws (the eight small holes pictured above) with a .
Then you will end up with this:
The speakers and wires are very flimsy and can be easily torn out, leaving
the wires. Since the wires are so thin is it a be er idea to use a cigare e
to lighter burn off some plas c and expose the wire rather than cu ng
them. Remove the ba ery cover by removing the four screws in the holes
pictured on the le . A er doing so you’ll have access to the inside of the
device. Using your alligator clip probe, a ach the speaker to the various
wires to determine where the power is coming from. In this case it’s from
the black wire on le and red wire on right. Reroute the le black wire to
the right side of the dock:

Take the right side panel where you will mount the 3.5mm female adapt-
er. Using a Dremel or similar device create a hole to mount the 3.5mm
female jack,
and grind
down the
plas c near
the hole so
soldering will
be easier a er
the jack is
mounted.
Now you can epoxy the transformers inside the dock on the right side.
Make sure the “P” side of the transformers is aimed out toward the
3.5mm jack. I use GC Electronics 10‐347 epoxy—it takes up to 48 hours to
dry completely.
A er the epoxy dries you can solder the various points together in order
to turn the dock into an e‐s m toy.
It’s difficult to see details in the black and white photo, so I’ve included a
crude diagram to follow. The middle posts on the transformers are not
used, so you can bend them out of the way or cut them off. Ensure the
power is OFF before soldering!
Using your soldering iron and short lengths of wire (I use 18 gauge but
thinner is fine) make the following connec ons:
1. 3 to 5
2. 4 to 6
3. 1 to 3
4. 2 to 4
5. 8 to 9 (you may not need a wire to do this)
6. 7 to the 3.5mm jack
7. 10 to the 3.5mm jack
3.5mm female jacks come in a wide variety of configura ons, so test to
see which two points you must connect to in order to output to work.
CongratulaƟons—you should now have a fully func oning music driven
e‐s m box.
To use it, connect a 3.5mm spli er to your sound source, the connect the
speaker dock to one output and either headphones or a speaker to the
other. This will enable you to hear the music while you’re s mming.
Always make sure the speaker dock is turned OFF before connec ng
anything to anyone.
When turning the speaker dock on, make sure the volume is turned all the
way DOWN.
Start playing your music with the volume at least 60‐70%
Once you have your a achments/insertables on/in your partner, turn on
the box and slowly increase the volume un l they can feel it.
Considera ons For Building Your Own E‐s m Toys

The more powerful your device, the stronger the e‐s m sensa ons will
be. Some, like the Audiowind A‐520 shown on the cover of this handout
that uses a 9v ba ery, are powerful enough that only one transformer
needs to be used.
For instance, the MP3 speaker dock we’re pu ng together in class today
takes 4 AAA 1.5v ba eries, while the Yamaha PSS‐140 pictured below
takes 6 AA 1.5v ba eries and has a more powerful output at the highest
level.
We are using devices that are not designed for this sort of thing, so
your toys may break down over me (usually the transformers can be
replaced to repair them)
Keep in mind the difference between unipolar and bipolar toys. i.e. if
you a ach only one pad to a person, they will feel nothing. If you a ach
both, the current flows between them. The insertable you see today has
to separate metal panels, and the current flows between them.
Where To Buy E‐S m Accessories
Buying lead wires, adapters, etc. from sex stores will result in a good deal
of unnecessary spending. eBay and Chinese wholesale shops online are a
be er op on if you want to save money.
Here are some commonly used e‐s m items you can find at low prices.
When in doubt, search eBay!
Spli ers and cables:
If buying just one or two 3.5mm spli ers / cables eBay or Amazon have
very reasonable prices. Search for
“3.5mm cable” or “3.5mm spli er.” If
you want to buy in bulk use the same
search terms on dhgate.com or aliex‐
