    I’d love to be judgemental about this, but I’d absolutely be in that 25% of women who did it too.

    The best part is “at least one”. What’s the breakdown of more than one shock?

        Bored people give themselves a bunch of painful shocks and when that isn’t enough to feel alive they increase the amperage of the shocks. Really the perfect metaphor of all of us using doomscrolling on social media.

        I’m going to need the graph above that. How many shocked themselves to get aroused?

    I’d zap my dick and give them a whole new category for their charts!

      While I know that’s not how stats work, I find it completely correct to belive that one women gave herself a shock from 4 participants, and 70 men did.

    I licked a 9 volt from the beeping smoke detector the other day to see if it was dead. Nobody was around to impress and it wasn’t for fun, just wanted a quick result.

    Would probably shock myself if stuck alone for 15 mins too. Heck, I find those shocking handle games to be hilarious fun.

    Note: have ADHD which may or may not be related since I keep forgetting how much getting shocked hurts. Burns leave a mark and are more memorable so I wouldn’t touch anything hot for fun.

      It’s the other way around. It’s not how many people that shocked themselves were women or men, it’s how many men shocked themselves and how many women shocked themselves. so if 50% of men shock themselves and 10% of women shock themselves it’d add up to 60

        Yes I understood that in the second reading. I deleted the comment but I guess it was not propagated in time everywhere. Also you can’t add up the men’s and women’s percentages because the number of participates could vary between the two groups.

    The 35% of men who didn’t do it had previous experiences with electric shocks from fences or electronics
