A violet ray or violet wand is a device used for the application of low current, high voltage, high-frequency electricity to the body using a Tesla coil, originally sold as a supposed medical device used in electrotherapy. Since the 1990s, violet wands have been used by sexually adventurous men and women into BDSM sex as a sexual stimulation device.

Violet wands can give an amazing sensual experience - from very mild and tingly stimulation - to moderately zappy and prickly - to very intense orgasmic pleasure! The use of violet wands often make a man ejaculate involuntarily, and women frequently squirt for the first time in their lives when they orgasm. Violet wands give a new meaning to the word electro sex play and for this reason are very popular.

Today, violet wands are among the most desirable sex toys available, used by both fetishists and mainstream sex sensation seekers. They are incredibly versatile, providing many different levels of intensity, technique and sensations. The basic electro sex stimulation techniques are so easy to learn that you will be using your violet wand right away, and yet you will be able to build on those techniques into a wide range of sexually pleasurable activities. Violet wands can provide an incredible range of sensations, from lush tingles to sharp shocks to simulating the feelings of burning and cutting. You will be limited only by your imagination.

Electro sex stimulation from a violet wand pretty much feels like a jolt of static electricity. But violet wands are adjustable, so the sensation can go from erotic tingles that feel like you are in a bubble bath, with the sparks fizzing lushly over your skin, all the way up to sharp sexually provocative shocks. There is a wide range of physical sensations you can achieve, depending on the setting, technique used and accessories, so they can feel like soft bubbles or like a knife cutting.

Electrical sex play devices, for BDSM purposes can be grouped into two types: high voltage/high frequency and low voltage/low frequency. In the first group the most often encountered item is the violet wand. In the second group falls a broad range of devices generally patterned on a TENS type of device which is used in standard medical treatment. They have very different effects and one should not be considered better or a lesser version of the other.

Other devices are found more often in BDSM play such as electric butt plugs or vaginal plugs. When using any of these the sensation is not felt as a shock at all, but rather as a muscle contraction. In the case of a butt plug for instance, it will feel as if the subject is being fucked in the ass.

“He wanted to try out his Violet Wand on my willing body. He was kind enough to ask if I wanted to be tied down first. Of course, yes Sir! The feel of the rope sliding across my skin is so seductive. After he finished tying the chest harness he ran the ends around the bed and wrapped them securely in a beautiful knot next to me. I couldn’t move my upper body more than a couple inches off the bed. Next, he moved to my ankles, attached my pretty purple cuffs and ran them around the bed, as well. He finally asked me if I was ready to be tortured with his sensually inviting Violet Wand. I submissively - but eagerly - nodded yes. The Violet Wand zapped and buzzed like a live wire. He slowly brought the purple glow over to me, lightly touched my arm, and then moved it to my breasts and sexually engorged nipples. It was like being caressed by hot needles. I arched my back, wanting more but still knowing it would hurt - an endless loop of painful, orgasmic pleasure. He touched me again, raising and lowering the voltage until I screamed with a prolonged, back-arching climax.”
