Old Ben Almost Invented Electrosex?
Apparently Ben Franklin, that prolific inventor and notorious dirty old man, came awfully damned close (at least) to inventing electrostim technology while he was experimenting with electricity. (We shouldn’t discount the possibility that he made inventions he never publicized for fear of moralistic reprisal.) But according to the Electrosex Blog, he did put on electric kissing demonstrations with a special machine for the purpose “so when their lips approach, they will be struck and shockt”:

There is no way an intelligent man would get to this point(kissing) without considering what sparks from another more intimate lightning rod might do! Or from perky pink bits, or…??
I would bet dollars to donuts a science that started out making frog legs twitch was interested in making other bits twitch from day one.
There is nothing new in Human sexuality.
Peter, I agree with you! Franklin was both famously experimental and notoriously (given the morals of the day) sexual/lecherous. There’s no doubt in my mind that if he was playing with an electrified kissing machine in public, he was tinkering with (or at least contemplating) electrified genitals in private.
This attraction was called The Electric Venus.
In the 18th century dawn of electric science, a woman would stand on an insulated platform and get a static charge. When a gentleman leaned in for a kiss, BZZZT, more than he bargained for.
Woo-hoo!
