Estim, cock hero videos and Selfbondage

[otto_dix]

Hi all you estim fans.

I like my Estim sessions tied up. Some webteases are intended for this. The problem of course is timing. I often use Estim Bondage webtease, but always use it to keep me at the edge of cumming. (it is important to note that I always make use of some form of emergency release mechanism. Always practice safe selfbondage! Don't become a statistic.)

I also use selfbondage while taking advantage of those videos that community members have tailored an Estim track. The problem is that if the volume is too high, I cum quickly, and if the volume is too low, I do not cum at all.

I found a nice solution. Using MS Access and a bit of VBA coding, I can run a program in the background that adjusts the volume.

The simplest manipulation is to keep the volume at about 60 for most of the video, and then bump it up to 76 for the last 5 minutes of the video. I calibrate the signal at the beginning of the video to be a light tease, easy for me to withstand orgasm, but enough to make me super hard and excited. When that higher volume kicks in, WOW!

Its a very short piece of code and its easy enough to find volume control VBA script on the net. You need to know a bit about using forms, buttons, and VBA script to do this. I would be happy to provide a bit of script via private messages. I would need the time to type up a short description of how to do it. I would probably add a bit more code to allow for data entry of parameters like initial volume, higher volume, time to stay at lower volume and time to toggle off. I could even add a feature where the volume occasionally increases randomly for 10 to 15 seconds.

What I would really like to see in the way of videos and estim tracks would be some estim tracks for more femdom videos, with the tease, torture, and orgasm on screen synced with the estim audio signal.

Watching the video in full screen mode, I do not see the time and after awhile, I am not really certain with the higher volume will kick in. When it does, I need to resist as best I can to avoid as much post-orgasm torture as possible.

Thanks for reading,

Otto

Sounds like you've got things well sorted.

I really enjoy estim, but for the reasons you stated have had poor luck with sel-bondage and estim. Its all or nothing, and not the perfect edging that would be nice.

I was super intersted in the 'nogasm' project that can be found on GIT Hub, but I am useless at code and not sure I could adapt it.

Happy stimming.

I just use Audacity and edit the estim track to add a gain to it over the duration, some creators would have done this on release of the file, others are a constant volume. You can also check for any loud spikes and align the end ‘cum’ section of the video with the higher volume and then reduce for when the credits are often playing.

Once edited, you can combine the video and mp3 estim to create one file for seamless playback. I can also use Siri voice commands for an additional bump up/down if needed whilst in self bondage

Enjoy

Can you explain how to do this? Or do you have a link to an idiots guide for this?

For a quick tutorial on altering amplification with Audacity, you can check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T-FSS1RR-M

I am terribly tempted to try my hand at producing my own flash tease, so I guess I should start experimenting with creation and editing of sound files.

Brilliant, thanks for the link will check it out.

Creating a tease is fun, but takes a bit of time. Ultimately i found it very satisfying, and love hearing feedback, and knowing people get off to my creations! So give it a go, we always need more estim teases.

Idiots Guide
Open the mp3 in Audacity, click and drag on the track to select all the parts with audio:

Click Effect > Adjustable Fade:

Estim Ramp 2.png (52.81 KiB) Viewed 5638 times

Choose the fade settings that you like. These are a fairly good starting point for an ~1 hour cock hero type video:

"Mid-fade Adjust" adds a bias to the fade up. This makes it quicker near the start of the video, when sensitivity is being lost the most, and slower near the end.

The result; an estim file that starts at a moderate volume and ramps up as time goes on:

Optional: For Advanced Idiots
You're not limited to one fade per file, so we can add more for different sections. You can click and drag (or type in the "Start and End of Selection boxes) to select just part of the track to adjust:

Estim Ramp 5.png (51.63 KiB) Viewed 5638 times

This will add a fairly quick fade up at the end for the 'Cum' section:

The result:

You can add as many of these as you like. Fade up for edging sections, down for teasing sections or add a bit of a ramp after longer breaks so they don't start as suddenly.

Exporting
Whether you've added one fade or many, the last job is to turn it back into an mp3 file. Click File > Export > Export as MP3:

Estim Ramp 9.png (29.86 KiB) Viewed 5638 times

Choose where you want to save it and give it a name. The Format Options shown here are simple and seem to work on just about any device:

Estim Ramp 8.png (27.11 KiB) Viewed 5638 times

The new file will export and you're ready to play. Have fun!

I found a nice solution. Using MS Access and a bit of VBA coding, I can run a program in the background that adjusts the volume.

This is going slightly off on a tangent, but it sounds like you might like something I've been working on recently. I've got a heart-rate monitor that I can connect to my PC and with the aid of a little bit of programming I've managed to make it turn the volume down if my heart-rate gets too high, then gently turn it back up again once my heart-rate has dropped. There's also an adjustable timer to control how long it will do this for.

The end result is it becomes almost impossible to orgasm until the timer runs out. Every time I get close, the signal reduces to just a teasing level until the edge is past, then it ramps back up to normal to get me to the edge again.

If anyone has an ANT+ compatible heart-rate monitor (or is willing to buy one!) and would like to give it a try, let me know and I can send you a copy of my program.

That sounds really cool! I use a Polar monitor.

That is fantastic, thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out

I have one and I wanted to integrate it into one program I already made for ramping up volume over time, but I am waiting to get account activated to download sdk and code samples.

What did you use to write yours?

[BamaSwitch]

All of this sounds very interesting! And thanks so much for the dummy tutorial on audacity. I fall into that category.

I wouldn't mind giving it a try!

Ok I got the ANT strap, implemented program to monitor it that would be used to change volume and after testing it I must say it was waste of time...
My heartrate did not really change when nearing and experiencing an orgasm. I expected it but still wanted to try. It would be too simple given amount of effort I saw guys are investing with nogasm board and still not able to reliably detect an edge.

That's interesting to hear - I guess we are all different after all! My heartrate doesn't spike massively prior to orgasm, but it does ramp up enough to detect (~10%) before dropping again as I go past the point of no-return.

I've only tested it while using estim though. If you were manually masturbating, is it possible the physical exertion was already causing your heart rate to change, making it harder to detect?

(For those who are still after a copy of my code - I'm in the process of tidying it up and making it easier to configure, then I'll share a link)
