  ?  A TENS unit is an electrostimulation unit designed to relax
spasming muscles.  Helping someone in pain isn't kinky IMHO...

  You hold this "Zapper" just against the skin over a sore muscle etc. &
snap it, it tends to cause the muscle to relax.  You want to touch them
with your finger elsewhere (you're part of the circuit) too.

  If you hold it 1/4" inch away from the muscle, the girlfriend will
backhand you into the next county, OTOH.  So you only Zap circuitry that
you want to do in...

  With my girlfriend's C.P. it seems to work fairly well to relax the
constant muscle spasms, I've been working towards asking about making a
TENS-like unit (but specialized as we've found some things that work
best for her.  111 Hz seems to really relax her back well, unlike TENS
unit's usual frequencies!  Why, I have *no* idea.)  I'll go with it as
it works, though!
