I bought this unit about 5 years ago and have loved it from the start. I also own the Eros-Tek 312 and a Tens unit. I had a PES box for few years, but unfortuneatly it got stolen.

The remote is very cool. I tested it out. It only took about 10 minuets to figure it out. It is very easy to use. I waited the extra 6 months for this one to come out and I'm glad I did. I really wanted the added variety the MA (frequency) switch added. It only has one channel. Though of course I wish I could have a second channel, I would rather have the MA button. While a sub can't turn it off by themselves, they can however just pull the channel plug out.

Personally, I think that for the extra $100 it costs, I is definitely a much better value than a PES and/or Folsom box as it is way more versatile.

Though I do think this is a great buy, if I had to choose between the Eros-Tek 312 and this I would have to say I would choose the Eros-Tek 312. This is because it has more variety of pleasure sensations which is important in my line of work. The programs on the Eros-Tek 312 have more pleasure play sensations even though it can be extremly painful as well. Part of the reason for this is that on the remote unit you might start with the level at set at 10. As time goes on you then push it up to 11. By doing this, it is like going from 10 to 15 on the traditional Eros-Tek 312. This most likely because the remote only goes up to 50, while the Eros-Tek 312 goes to 100. This is not neccessarily a bad thing, it's just something you need to aware of and consider when choosing a device. It also doesn't mean that the using the remote can't be a sensual, pleasureable experience for those not into more intense pain. This result just needs a bit more experimentation and keep the device at a lower level you would the Eros-Tek 312. The remote simply has more unique options for BDSM pain / training than the Eros-Tek 312 box because of the various training modes and compact size.

Some other ticks I don't like is that it shuts itself off after 30 minuets in non-training modes if you don't press a button. I also wish the LCD screen were attached to the remote and not the box itself. In order to change setting you really need to be able to see LCD on the box or you could get a setting wrong. I guess I'm the type of person who likes to change things often so this is a little inconvenient for me. My friend who knows about a lot about electricity says this is probably not possible, but one can always dream :)

• PROGRAMS:

Here are the programs is comes with and what I think of them. The first ones are though not identical, are similar to the Eros-Tek 312 are pretty much self-explanatory by there names. I have made notes on things I like and do with them. I keep the intensity at about 20 - 50 usually. Again, I think the lower setting on this box are more intense than on the Eros-Tek 312 and/ or more the intensity goes up faster, for instance it seems to me there is a bigger difference between say 18 & 19 on this box.

Basic - on & off in a steady rhythm- pulsing. I don't care that much for this mode. It is not that erotic to me. It gets very annoying after while on any level. At the frequency of about 50 the stimulation is pretty much constant with variations.

Waves- This is only somewhat similar to the original waves program. This one changes more. Both the intensity & frequency change randomly but it still feels like the wave action. The MA (frequency) control changes how constant the stimulation is. I like it better on a 70+ frequency.

Stroke - I am glad I have this remote instead of the other because I like the stroke (frequency) slower at around 20. I don't think you really feel the stroke motion much when it's faster. I think this is my favorite move for getting myself excited.

Rhythm - This is my second favorite, most of the time in nice, but mild. However, it grows in intensity and peaks a time making you squirm & cringe a bit if it is set high enough (usually about 45 for me).

Random - program keeps changing for variety. This is OK, but not intense enough for me in most cases. I like the rhythm better.

Audio soft - It provides near constant stimulation in noisy rooms. I guess it good in a quite room, If you don't want someone to move then put it on and any movement that makes noise will give them a jolt. Though I haven't done this. I was thinking if somehow you hooked someone up so that bells or something would ring if they moved that would be cool. Testing it, I put the intensity on 40, then made a loud noise. That was quite a jolt.

Audio loud - This is more adjustable. It can be set to respond to all sound or just loud noises.

Training levels - It took me a few minuets to be brave enough to push the #3 button (most intense). It is rather shocking. It would be hard to at least moan a little when it pushed, especially if it is unexpected. And I'm a pain slut. The intensity & length can't be adjusted.

Training ramps- This one isn't bad at any level because it starts out light and works up to more intensity. There are 3 different intensities. The intensity & length can't be adjusted. Training signal- this one doesn't really hurt at all. Each one just feels different (button 1, 2, & 3). This is good for silent communication. Like if you want a drink or want someone to come to you at a party. The intensity & length can't be adjusted.

MALE STEUP NOTES:

Ther are two ways I know of set this up. The first is to use the Sextek Electrocup ($150) and the Sextek Unipolar Electroband ($50)- both are unipolar. The waist strap that attaches to the electrocup has a convenient space in the back to put the box in. I used a little tape to secure it further. I like that the electrocup is very secure and you don't have to worry about the guy being hard to make a good connection like a lot of other male toys.

Second, You can also just use the Sextek dual (bipolar) electroband that goes around both the cock and balls. This is the simpler and cheaper way to do it and works as good if not better than the other method.

There are probally other ways to do this, but I can't think of any at this time. I really haven't had greastest luck getting other electric CBT toys to work well. Anything that goes around the cock like----- or cockcap can be difficult to use. As a subs cock grows harder or softer the connection my not be as strong.

As an example. I had a guy who had the cockcap and electrocup on. His cock would go soft and then I would tease him and it would get harder and bigger. When his cock was soft there was little if any connection, when it got hard it was like getting a jolt and he seemed to like it. This was great fun for me. However, I have done this with many other subs. Some never really get hard so they don't feel it. Some vacillate and find the jolt very upleasant and not something they want do. There is no way to stop this from occuring. If you have a subs that stays hard through the whole things your blessed as when this occurs most subs really like it. A few have said it feels like having the best oral sex they ever had.

I had the most fun using the training levels program. I would send my sub off to make him go talk to someone. Then, I would press one of the buttons and make him cringe every so often. This was especially entertaining when going out to "vannila" places like the knife store, victoria's secret and strip clubs.

• FEMALE SETUP NOTES:
• 
  
• I have been using it to make myself horny, sort foreplay before trying to fuck myself & cum. I have always had a hard time cumming, so it is really nice that I can just roam around the house and do other things while being stimulated. I put on a pair of tight panties and put everything inside them. It don't find it uncomfortable at all. I put the box right above pussy and it doesn't interfere with anything. I also use the remote just putting the Folsom mini plug in my ass with again with tight panties over it to hold it in. I then turn it on and place the remote control in my bra.
• I have tried it with various electric combinations. The first with the Folsom Insertable Electrode (used to be called an egg) and it is unipolar You don't feel the egg much at all , only the tens pad I put on my clit. This work best when your sitting down for a while, as the egg tends to slip out even with tight panties. The tens pads also tend to slip sometimes because they are on such a wet surface.
• If you want a cheaper way & easier way to do this you can also put a large sheet of foil under your butt and then attach the tens pads to the clit. I often do it this way as I am not a huge fan of the Folsom vaginal egg. At times even though I couldn't actally feel it doing anything it has left my pussy really sore as if I had been fucked too hard. For me, despite being a bit of a masochit, having a sore pussy is not really something I enjoy and is more a nusiance than anything else.
• I am going to try and find something that says better in the vagina or ass. I was thinking maybe the
  Vaginal Electrosex Probe as the design is similar to the folsom butt plugs I like and it only runs about $80. Gosh I wish someone would come up with a clit toy that stayed put, making in both a unipolar and bipolar format would be even better.
• I have used the tens pads on my clit or labia along with the egg in combination with the egg inserted anally. This gives the setting a different effect. You do feel the egg in this case and it is less intense on the clit. The egg stays put much better annually, but it can still slip out at times. I try to shove it in a little ways to try to prevent that.
• Sometimes I use the Folsom mini plug either with the clit tens / egg combo on the second channel. The Folsom mini plug can also be used alone. I really does feel like someone is fucking you in the ass using the right setting. My favorite setup is the mini butt plug used anally along with a hard large vibrating didlo in my pussy and a mini vibrating massager on my clit. Obviouly, I do this lying down so a bit more stable so you don't have to worry about things moving around as much which is safer. I use the Eros-Tek 312 when I do it this way as it is better at pleasure sensations.
• As a general note, the stimulation you feel will be different depending on position. I think most feel best when sitting or laying down. You have to be careful when moving around with electrodes that can move, like a tens pad on a clit because it's slippery or sometimes the egg. You have to be careful or you can an unexpected jolt or nasty sensation if something moves wrong.
