E Stim is basically the use of a very small amount of electricity (usually battery powered) being sent through the body to generate diferent sensations. There are two diferences being that one way is tens, the other is venturing to specific stim units and stereo/mono units.
(I started with a zeus powerbox (sold as estim but it essentialy a repackaged tens machine)
(just thought of this while writing this reply, when I say electrical sensations I am meaning the diferent kinds of feeling in your funzone ie stroking sensation, tickling sensation and so on)
(tens just google buy tens unit, amazon, ebay and others like lovehoney sell these)
Starting with tens these machines were originally designed as massagers for muscular pain aka general medical use, you can use them on your funzone with mediocre results but you are constricted to the pattern of feeling (programs) the tens unit contains, your also constricted to a scale of intensity (how hard you feel it) which generally goes up in stages controlled by yourself by the press of a button. Tens units are available on ebay aswell as reputable adult toy stores and can range anything from £30 to the 100`s. But as I`ve already mentioned you are restricted to preset programs/intensity ( avg programs on a unit is 4 to 7) (avg intense settings between 8 to 16) usually you tend to find only a few of the programs will do the trick for you which imo would skip tens and go straight for a stim unit intended for pleasure.
(if you google estim you should get the link to estim.co.uk shop for estim systems)
Now with stim units these are designed to be used on your funzone. These units may not be audio capable aswell so it does pay if your looking at buying a unit to read what its capable of to suit what you want. A specific stim unit will give you more control over the sensations you feel rather than giving you a preset program that you cant change, with an audio unit you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. These do start jumping in price though and your starting to look into the £90 and up range, although I havent tried a specific stim unit, given what its intended for and functionality it would be far more "funzone" and a lot less "medical". Normally you will be able to control intensity, pulse, tone, tempo of pulse which if you dont mind continually adjusting the unit to suit say a CH beat these would be fine for the job.
(again estim.co.uk also sells audio units, but read on plz)
Now onto my personal fav, Audiostim. Now these really vastly range in price, the cheapest commercial unit I`ve seen is the Abox (which is only mono) which retails in at £130 the rest of the units be them just pure audio or a mix of both stim and audio just go up and up and up. Now I didnt want to spend that kind of cash on some thing which I could possibly not have liked so I built my own stereostim but I`ll come back to this in a sec. Basically what happens is these units hav audio-in or audio-only capability, which means you can plug in your mp3 player or pc speakers etc directly to the machine, it takes the various tones, frequencies, level of sound etc and converts them to electrical sensations in your funzone. They are best served with specific audio tracks created specifically for this purpose. What I mean by that is yes you can take your fav song and pump it out over your funzone but it may not be pleasurable in the way you want ie the bells in a CH movie or an overly strong beat can be very unpleasant (unless of course your into that lol) imo now having changed to a stereo audio unit I will never go back to a tens unit, I am just as less likley to buy an estim unit aswell as you can get stim audio tracks which can produce the same effects as the non audio stim units. (with the added bonus you dont need to control them by hand)
As per hooking it up really depends on the unit your using, its a very individual thing, what works for one person might not for the other etc etc. (also generally keep to the waist and down area) I`ll try to break it down so its easy to understand. Most people understand what positive and negative are so I wont explain that lol. There are 2 types of distributing the sensations in your body, bipolar and unipolar, they can be both used at the same time aswell. Generally bipolar is a single point in the body that sensations are put to, if you think of nipple clamps to put an electrical signal from one nipple to the other is very bad because it could cause problems with your heart, a bipolar signal would contain that sensation to each individual nipple rather than running a current from one to the other. You can probably guess now that unipolar is the opposite by way of running the sensation from one point in the body to another, ie placing a cockring at the base of the penis and another just under the head of the penis the sensation will travel from one cock ring to the other, dependant on how you place your positive and negative connections the flow in unipolar will in this case travel from base to head or vice versa (electricity passed through the body will always take the most direct route it can) As I said both types can be used together for example a bipolar buttplug generating sensations in your bum while the unipolar setup i mentioned on your penis generating a stroking sensation, there are so many variations it really is personal exploration to find the best way for yourself. Personally I like a unipolar setup which passes sensation from my prostate to the head of my penis, the way I do this is by using a modified aneros toy and a single rubber loop.
Now as I said I built my own, all info I needed was here
http://smartstim.com/forum/index.php
To give you a quick idea, these are what I purchased.
1x set of portable folding speakers £4
2x lt700`s miniature line transformers (maplins) £2.59 each
1x 1 metre length of heatshrink tubing £2 maplins
2x tens leads with tens plugs at end (used an old set I had lying so free) £3 on ebay
total build cost if building from scratch = roughly £30, £36 if you dont have a solder iron. You do not need to solder but it does give a better connection. Just to re-iterate the cheapest commercial unit which is mono is £130, thats a very big saving, and costs less if you have bits lying around ie old set of pc speakers etc
tens pads can be bought on ebay for a 3 or 4 £`s a set, 2mm conductive rubber tubing (1 metre for £10 on ebay which included 4 clips to hold the loops instead of trying to tie rubber) these I obviously had from my tens unit so didnt have to buy them. I did also buy a soldering iron from ebay which came in at £6 and taught myself how to solder in less than 5 minutes, yes it is that easy dont be put off. It also came with a small amount of solder wire but again can be bought in decent quantities on ebay for £2 or £3 a roll. After that it is basically a case of remove the speakers from the unit, wire in the 2 transformers 1 for left and 1 for right channel, then wire your leads to the other side of the transformers in there respective channels +/- , replace the battery casing etc on the unit and thats it, entire build time on my first attempt was around 25 mins, and as you can probably tell it works perfectly. The level of intensity is controlled via the volume knob on the speaker unit. Here is a link to a 10 minute video showing you what I done (this isnt me but the speakers are identical)

if your interested please take those ten minutes and watch the video, you dont need to be an electrical engineer to do this its really very simple, just take your time and make sure you have the correct parts you need.
right where was I lol oh yeah blondie I hope this covers a fair bit of info, any other questions etc dont hesitate to ask..
onto tantricforever
I am still learning to use audacity and then i`ll properly move onto goldwave, but I have been searching for a program or way of automatically identifying the beats and applying the stroke to those beats but have been unsuccessful so far for the "quick and easy" method lol. The way I have been doin it so far is what you suggested by way of looking at the waveform of the audio and applying the stroke to the spikes in the waveform. Consistant pattern I check as the songs change in the video as beats per minute vary there. It does help when the encoded beat in the CH vid is predomenantly louder than the music as its far easier to see.
apologies for this monster post but wanted to try give as much info as I could, hope it helps
