Clutch is yet another story-driven PVM/ESTIM experience of about 1 hour and 15 min. 1920x960@30, 3 chapters, programmed ESTIM signal. Themes include:
  • Video Themes: Softcore, BJs, Masturbation, Hardcore, Femdom Pegging, Sounding, Bondage, BDSM.
  • Story Themes: Femdom, Estim, Mind Control, Chastity, Bondage.
  • Possible trigger warnings: Breath Control, Photosensitivity.
It starts mild but ends up pretty heavy on the BDSM theme.

Grab your copy at: https://mega.nz/folder/iERiUBbZ#00pIoKjAps47mk4NN1Fd7Q

(Import to your own Mega before downloading, plz.)

The encode is x265, CRF 20.

ESTIM info:

The ESTIM signal is meant for DIY/Stereostim boxes and was generated by the video author as well. Crucially, it uses some of the math which powers the restim software made by "diglet." Notably, this math lets us control the phase-information in the signal precisely, avoiding dumping too much power at the common electrode.

The core idea is that the signal is synthesized by writing a program rather than manually being assembled in a digital audio workstation, or by generating the signal from a funscript.

Brief ESTIM overview:
Spoiler: show
The wiring I used for development was:

A/L: Head
B/R: Plug
Common: Base

Your mileage might vary. Other configurations are bound to work well.

The signal pulsates between A and B, so keep that in mind when deciding on a different wiring setup. The B signal has some places where it goes pretty hard between Common/B.

I've generated two versions of the ESTIM: mild and spicy. The spicy signal bumps the amplitude of a couple of notches around edges in the file.

The signal is 3-phase, with a pulse much like in MCB. A new development is that there's some spikes which happen on a different frequency in between the pulses on the edge sections between Common and B.

* The signal was mostly created with Stereostim in mind.
* The signal seems to work ok on a 312.
* The signal is unlikely to work well with a 2B.
For more information, consult the file "Clutch.md" in the mega-repository.

Thanks! Looking forward to giving this a try soon. Nice to see MP3 files and a video file <5GB. Much appreciated.

Well, the master is ~130 gigabyte. Most of this reduction comes from x265 being an excellent encoder, and we end up clocking in under 2.5 gigabyte. Some of the reduction also comes from h.265 being a better codec than h.264.

It's encoded in the Main10 (10-bit) profile to fight some banding which would otherwise occur. I could add more grain to the image, but this also makes the footage harder to compress well, and more bitrate would have been required.

Looking forward to playing this :-)

I will eventually try to create funscripts for this creation that mimics the original audio file, so it can be played/calibrated in Restim. But this creation has some unique signals that are challenging to mimic with the funscript approach, I'll probably need a few months to come up with a good approach.

Amazing! MCB is one of my favourites so I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got in store for us in this one.

Thanks again phx and aqparrot!

Just finished a full playthrough, and this is now one of my all-time favourites. I'll preface everything I write here with "I played the mild version", but that said, the estim file never gets too repetitive or dull over time, and the edge sections felt more intense as they should. I was able to get completely lost in the sensations and visuals on this one. After a while it stops feeling like estim, and feels more like my muscles have been hacked. Also, the aftercare scene before the credits is really well-done for immersion. Great job on this!!

BIG THX for this nice video

I started testing it last night, it's very nice. I wore a+ on the glans, b+ anal and common on the shaft. Has anyone tried other placements? Do you prefer the mild or spicy estim version?

I'm trying the spicy version now. I'll tell you how it went later :love:

Spicy for sure.
I have a bipolar anal trode and I split the triphase - between balls and the - (prostate) side of the anal trode. B+ goes to the other side of the anal trode and A+ goes to the glans. It gives quite a good ghost fucking.

Great video (content, production and story), love the BDSM focus. And that spicy estim track was EXACTLY what I was after. Hard and varied signal, perfect :)

This was amazing! The Estim file was incredible, nothing felt like it was repeating for too long, and I felt things I've never felt with Estim before. Nearly lost it at minute 20, and was only able to hold on until minute 45. Aquarium Parrot is seriously talented, and I love the story, especially the feeling of losing control, which is why I got into Estim in the first place.

I don't normally comment, but I was implored to by the sheer quality of this release. Thank you!!!!

are you saying you split to common to behind the balls and the anal trode?

I think the best way to do what was just described is to put left channel + on cock head, left channel - on prostate side of anal plug. Right channel + on the opposite side of anal plug and right - at cock base(pick your fancy of bottom side of cock forward of the balls or perineum electrode, or ring at base of shaft with top insulated). I find I need to raise the right channel volume a bit to make it even between channels with this configuration, but it feels intense. I can't find another way to get the anal electrode ghost fucking while also keeping the perineum clench and the head electrodes all feeling great at the same time and the way this stim moves between channels with short burts of overlap has an interesting sensation.
Notice that what this is doing is putting one of the negatives and one of the positives on the anal plug. Also puts one of the positives and one of the negatives on the cock side. This way it's similar in some ways to having a bipolar plug on its own channel but also getting the interaction of anal to cock and anal to perineum that feels in some ways like the tri-phase sensation does. Some stim really doesn't feel great like this, but for this type of stim, it really does it for me.
