5.0 out of 5 stars Best in its field, December 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Juice: Electricity for Pleasure and Pain (Paperback)

As an electrical engineer I find Juice an excellant resource in the field of the erotic use of electricity. Not only are the principles included accurate and applicable, but they are presented in a way that is both humerous and highly understandable by even a reader who had trouble with electricity in their high school physics. Having also checked out the other books in the field, Juice is the only one I've seen that presents the material this well. I also have to compliment the author on his commitment to safety in the erotic use of electricity. This cannot be more emphasized than he has done in his book. I'd reccomend Juice highly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sound concepts, but loaded with factual errors., September 6, 1999

This review is from: Juice: Electricity for Pleasure and Pain (Paperback)

The book is a great idea, and the author obviously knows his stuff _very_ well. However, in my opinion, somewhere between the author's final manuscript, and what actually got published, someone at the publisher thought they understood things better.

For example, in many cases, what the author says in the text doesn't match the final drawings. Or, when discussing calculations for voltage and current where the term 'miliampere' is used, it's defined as one millionth of an ampere- that's flatly incorrect, a miliamp is one thousandth of an ampere.

So, if you buy it, get your calculator, pencil and pad out and be prepared to test the math and make the corrections in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource Book for Electricity Play!, August 30, 1999

This review is from: Juice: Electricity for Pleasure and Pain (Paperback)

This book came out in 1998 and really takes an indepth and humorous look at the use of electricity in play (chapter 13 is titled, "Be afraid, be very afraid"). The book spends the first half in review of how electricity works and then overviews everything from the carpet shuffle zap to household voltage. Fans of the violet wand and the tens unit will find support here. This book is a must for anyone wanting to be well informed before venturing into pleasure with electricity. All the advice is sound and very like what is experienced through the use of currents. The author clearly tells the readers what is absolutely not acceptable as a toy and what is potentially dangerous. Electricity is extremely pleasing in the right hands. (The shocking animal collar is a real attention getter!) Is that my hair standing up? Interesting book!
