Potentiating or eliciting an erotic sensation in a body using electrostimulation
First Claim
1. An electrostimulation apparatus, comprising:
- an electrical power source;
an electrical signal generator coupled with said electrical power source and adapted to operatively generate a biphasic electrostimulation signal having at least one parameter selected to potentiate an erotic sensation in a body,said biphasic electrostimulation signal having a primary pulse and a plurality of high frequency pre-pulses prior to, and of narrower pulse width than, said primary pulse so as to reduce concomitant adverse sensation and habituation at the locus of electrostimulation;
at least one body surface electrode adapted to operatively deliver said electrostimulation signal to at least one portion of a body;
at least one additional electrode adapted to operatively complete an electrical circuit between said at least one body surface electrode, said body, and said electrical signal generator;
an impedance monitor adapted to operatively measure an impedance between said at least one body surface electrode and said at least one additional electrode; and
a stimulation amplitude control adapted to operatively decrease an electrostimulation amplitude of said biphasic electrostimulation signal applied to said body responsive to said impedance indicative of an open circuit between said at least one body surface electrode and said at least one additional electrode.

Abstract
A system and method for potentiating or eliciting an erotic sensation in a body using electrostimulation includes a controller for producing an electrical stimulation signal and at least two electrodes. The electrodes are adapted for placement on a body surface, for which at least one of the electrodes is used to potentiate or elicit an erotic sensation in the body when conveying the electrical stimulation signal from the controller. The electrical stimulation signal is provided in an amount and manner incorporating a plurality of high frequency pre-pulses prior to, and of narrower pulse width than, a primary pulse in the electrostimulation signal that is adapted to optimize the erotic sensation by limiting both concomitant adverse sensation and habituation at the locus of electrostimulation. The method further increases and decreases the stimulation amplitude responsive to open circuit, short circuit, and target settings.

3. A method comprising:
-
Generating, via an electrical signal generator, a biphasic electrostimulation signal having at least one parameter selected to potentiate or elicit an erotic sensation in a body; incorporating a plurality of high frequency pre-pulses prior to, and of narrower pulse width than, a primary pulse in the biphasic electrostimulation signal so as to reduce concomitant adverse sensation or habituation at the locus of electrostimulation; and delivering the electrostimulation signal to at least one portion of a body via at least a body surface electrode, positionable, secured or attached to or on a body surface thereby. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
