Electricity is versatile stuff. While it can burn you, it can also be used to stimulate nerve cells to give feelings of actual pleasure. One common form, especially in Science Fiction, involves using small amounts of current applied directly to the "pleasure centers" of the brain. The concept of the "pleasure center" was based on research on rats done in the 1950's, and those studies have been partially discredited since, but there is still some Truth in Television here. Scientists developed an orgasm device for women by accident when the doctor inserted a spinal cord electrode he was using to relieve the woman's chronic pain into the wrong place and got an unexpected reaction. Although further tests showed that less than 2% of women would actually get that effect from it. Although the effect may happen by accident, this is not the same as Too Kinky to Torture. This is about electricity causing actual, physical pleasure, not just pain that someone happens to enjoy. May be used to try to brainwash someone, as direct brain stimulation can be extremely addictive. In such cases, it's closely related to Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul. Contrast with Agony Beam and Orgasmatron. |

In the Secret Six miniseries, it was revealed that the long-time Batman foe, the Mad Hatter, long known for his mind-control hats, had worked out a way to reverse the mind-control effect. This stimulated his pleasure centers and led to him becoming a "hat addict" (and even crazier than he was originally). | |

Brainstorm features a machine that records a complete sensory experience, and a young man wears it during sex. An older man gets hold of the recording and splices the orgasm into a loop. They find him still hooked up to it a day or two later, and he becomes violent when they switch it off. | |

The story about the accidental women's orgasm device is in Mad Men, where the men who built a vibrating "relaxeciser" can't understand why all the women seem to love it. Then Peggy tries it...and she understands perfectly. She's assigned to develop an ad campaign for it; one of her first. This being The '60s, it relies a lot on subtle Double Entendre. | |

In the Æon Flux episode "Thanatophobia", a one-shot character named Sybil is shot in the back. So that she isn't paralysed, Trevor fits her with some kind of prosthesis for her spinal cord that needs regular replacement. Being the somehow-lovable kinky bastard that he is, Trevor takes advantage of this each time to make her orgasm repeatedly by stimulating her spinal cord. (In the original TV broadcast, this was redubbed to show him apparently torturing her for fun, because that would be so much more tasteful.) | |

In Planescape, this is the classic trap for members of the Society of Sensation. Sure, a Sensate can just sit around the Hall all day "listening" to sense-recordings of hedonistic delights, or go to their off-plane headquarters and experience the real thing. Sensates who actually show promise within the organization, however, are those who value the negative experiences as much as the positive ones, and go out into the multiverse to find them. | |

In The Terminal Man, Harry Benson receives a brain implant to control his psychomotor epilepsy, which caused him to severely beat two people during seizures. The implant induces euphoric feelings by running a current across a grid of electrodes on his brainstem. His doctors then realize that Benson might be psychotic. Before too long his subconscious mind learns he can induce seizures by assaulting people, triggering the "pleasure" shock originally meant to halt the seizures. Things go downhill from there. | |

Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Being a multi-talented spy, he was given a device in his brain that releases good-time feeling juice in order to counteract torture. Turns out life with the Federation sucked so hard, he turned it on and left it on. Addiction swiftly followed. In an expanded universe novel, set in the Mirror Universe, Agent Seven of Corps Nine (i.e. Seven-of-Nine's Evil Counterpart) has one as well, also being an Obsidian Order agent. |

In Mass Effect 2 there is a reference to a "nerve stimulator" built into a quarian's suit. Something that "any responsible adult should have." Followed by, "Here, let me turn it on right now... excuse me, human, private conversation!" Tali also mentions nerve stimulators during her romance. She says she'd rather have the real thing, thanks. However, a review of her finances shows her having purchased ever more expensive stimulator variants in the meantime. | |

While it isn't harmful both Jinx, and later the both the Teen Titans and the Justice League initially find Raven to be creepier than usual.

Al Amarja has a subculture of drug dealers called "Sandmen." Their drugs are manufactured while a "donor" is sleeping; whoever takes the drugs experiences the donor's dreams as a hallucination. There's a good market for pleasant dreams, but truly jaded users (and Al Amarja is full of them) seek the kind of dreams that give the drug its name: Nightmare. | |

This was done in the radio version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as a reward for a student learning about the Shoe Event Horizon. Also sort-of done by Ford to a security robot in Mostly Harmless. He captured the robot and disabled the chip that controls access to its "happy module", so the robot was happy doing anything at all.

In Shadowrun: In the main game, some BTL chips can have this effect, as using one floods the chip-addict's brain with a specific emotion at a far higher intensity than real life could ever afford. A magical version exists in the form of the Orgasm spell, which is noted as being used primarily for sex work, entertainment, pranks, or (for shadowrunners) a means of non-lethal incapacitation. It's swapped out for the Euphoria spell in later editions, which does the same thing but with less mess. Some of the nastier Horrors in Earthdawn, the Shadowrun-prequel fantasy game, have a psychic Instant Gratification power that they use (alternately with Electric Torture) to coerce total obedience in their humanoid Mooks and Moles. |

Discussed and averted in the Marîd Audran series. When Audran gets a brain socket installed, his doctor explains that he's gotten an advanced version with some experimental features. One of the features he could have gotten was a direct wire to the pleasure center, but his patron decided that Audran would be too likely to abuse the privilege, so instead he got a wire to the pain center. | |

The Turing Test: According to Mikhail, the Mind-Control Device works that way: it conditions the mind through Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning, eliciting feeling of euphoria when the wearer is obedient and dyshoria when the wearer is disobedient. | |

Dragon Age II: Party banter between Anders and Isabela reveals they visited the first game's brothel during their time in Ferelden, and Isabela was there the night Anders (a mage) did something involving electricity. | |

Referenced in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where Xander informs Willow that since they're fiddling with a 'Blaster', that randomly hitting buttons is not high on his agenda. He then adds that if it were called the 'Orgasminator', that would, in fact, be his desired approach. | |

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Sundowner mentions before his boss fight that when the brains of the soon-to-be Tyke Bomb cyborgs kill in their simulations, they get a nice jolt to their pleasure center to help them associate massacring soldiers and civilians alike with feelings of joy. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Game", Riker unknowingly brings aboard a game that rewards the user for advancing in the game. The entire crew, except Wesley and his girlfriend (who have not played) and Data (who was deactivated), quickly become addicted and willing to turn over the Enterprise to the bad guy of the week. | |
