i am looking for some advice about electric play. i know that it can be dangerous but i also know that it can be so much fun. And right now i do not have a domme to play with but i am very fixated on this type of play right now so i am looking for some advice. How can i incorporate this into my CBT play by myself with regular household items. i find it more enjoyable to create the toys i use rather than going out & buying them from fetish shops on the net. i know there are some creative people on here & if some of you have some experiences or ideas that will help me keep playing in a safe & sane way i would really appreciate it.

Here's my advice - don't do electricity on your own.
Voltage doesn't kill - amperage (current) does. The higher the voltage, all other things being equal, the higher the current. So, higher voltages are more dangerous. Under the right conditions, you only need about 1 volt to kill you. Since a simple C cell has 1.5 volts, you can see that just about anything can kill you under the right circumstances. For a C cell to do it, you'd need to put needles into your skin and stand in water, etc. (the risk is low). However, it is real. (Also, the higher the voltage, the more painful it is.)
There are two ways to die from electricity. One is to get so bad of a shock that it disrupts your neural system and stops your heart. The other way is to slowly get cooked by not being able to get away from it. Neither one sounds like fun to me.
Electricity also causes muscles to contract. So, if you apply electricity to the palm of your hand, it will tend to make you close your hand around it. This is what leads some people to being electrocuted.
There are many ways to use electricity safely, but none that you can do alone. As much as you want to do it, wait until someone is there that can help you if you need it. You never know if your heart may have an undetected defect. Like most things, everyone's tolerance is slightly different.
