I just gotta pass this along. Em & Lo of Sex. Love. And Everything in Between. say
Photo from Em & Lo’s site. Link takes you to Amazon Tingler page with their associate code.The turn-of-the-century enthusiasm over the Tingler may have faded, but don’t forget this ridiculous-looking repurposed kitchen whisker for pre-sex relaxation and nerve-stimulation. In fact, experiencing the Tingler is the closest you can get to sheer ecstasy without taking MDMH or having an orgasm. This cheap metal scalp-massaging tool is so simple  but then most ingenious ideas are: It gently touches acupressure points to send shivers throughout your entire body. And that’s not just regurgitated marketing copy  that’s for reals.
Whether they are, as Em & Lo suggest, one of the best foreplay tools ever, I gotta say they can feel celestially supernal. Leave a comment if you’ve ever tried it.

I tried one once.
To me it just felt creepy and not at all fun or pleasurable. So I decided it wasn't for me, and to be honest I don't understand what people get out of them.
Maybe I'm just weird.

I'm a complete sucker for any kind of stimulation to my scalp at all, and, ridiculous as they look, those things ROCK! Just thinking about it makes my spine tingle.

I think that kind of pushes the boundaries of what would normally be called "sex". Would just scalp tingling, no matter how pleasurable, by itself be considered sex? Probably not, at most it would be considered non-sexual sensation play. Certainly, any form of sensation play could be used to enhance sex. But by that viewpoint, calling a scalp tingler a sex toy would be like calling a hairbrush a sex toy just because people have been occasionally known to use one to spank their partner as a part of enhancing their sex lives.

i do enjoy the scalp tingler in ways i thought i never should. . . haha i was first introduced to it on universal citywalk (the strip shopping portion of universal studios hollywood theme park) in front of my mom and other families. i remember it making my nipples almost immediately erect, which is a VERY rare occurrence for me and unless i'm forming a false memory after reading this, it made me a bit moist too.
well, i'm glad to know i'm not the only one out there who thought people selling them as family head massagers were completely insane. :P makes you wonder what their initial purpose was for and just how, exactly, they withstood the test of time. ;)
