INTRODUCTION
Stinging Nettles (urtica dioica) are generally eaten or made into tea for various health benefits including testosterone, prostate, and inflammation-reduction (after its ability to sting has been removed via cooking, crushing, or pill form) and is becoming more popular in farmers markets, google search for preparation instructions. Interestingly, nettle juice from stems applied to skin will help remove symptoms of its own sting. I couldn't find anything on google about deaths related to urtica dioica stings, but other species of stinging nettle could be potentially dangerous, so be sure to do your research before diving in. Only attempt this if you are strong-minded and prepared for potential itchiness and pain. Also, make sure you're not allergic to stinging nettle (I don't know what constitutes a safe allergy test!).
SAFETY
When handling nettles, thin disposable gloves are
nearly thick enough; I got stung on my hand once or twice after vigorous handling (no biggie), so I recommend anything thicker, such as dishwashing gloves. Also, it's somewhat possible to get stung from contacting an already-stung body part.
IS IT REALLY PAINFUL?
From my one-time experience, short answer, no! But stinging nettles of the same species may be more powerful than others and pain threshold from person to person varies, so the jury is still out. Younger nettles are said to be more powerful. For me, the pain could be likened to pins & needles feeling of when your foot falls asleep, except just a little more powerful. After stinging my cock for 20 minutes, pain was very tolerable. In terms of itchiness, I did not experience any (although if you sting a non-genital body part you'll more likely experience itchiness, or if you overdo it). The one stinger on my hand feels like an annoying little splinter (you definitely want to avoid being stung on hands!). In terms of immediate pain per sting, it's like being lightly poked with a needle for half a second. Overall, there's also a light hot/cold burning sensation
HOW ABOUT PLEASURE?
I'd say it's one of the most pleasurable and remarkable experiences I've ever had. I stung head of cock, shaft, frenulum, some on scrotum, some on taint, little bit on sphincter. After the pleasure started to kick in, my cock became fully erect and never let down. It felt like the frenulum was being stimulated on and off. Penis became very sensitive to touch. Rubbing against clothing was even pleasurable. My kegel muscles automatically activated due to pleasure and pushed out drops of precum (generally I produce almost none, but nettles gave me a few big drops!). Some auto-kegel squeezes were full-force up to a crazy 5-seconds long. Breathing became irregular (because of pleasure). Signs of imminent orgasm began to build. After maybe an hour (after the pleasure started to really kick in), I just exploded. There was absolutely nothing I could do! Resistance is futile (but fun!). Interestingly enough, during the high point of the pleasure I felt like I wanted to throw myself into a pool of nettles (bad idea!); the pleasure centers in my brain began to convince me that stinging/pain sensation was a form of reward.
SIDE EFFECTS
I might've experienced a tiny heating effect and a light pulsing in head (fever like symptom) after a few hours, but that went away quickly. Bumps formed on stung areas (as expected), but disappeared within an hour. After 2-3 hours there were no visible signs that I came into contact with nettles except for tiny red spots (blisters?) at sting sites on shaft. If you sting frenulum a lot, it will get puffy similar to when using a penis pump. Light hot/cold burning still on cock and nipples,
still feeling some pleasure and even got a full erection some time after orgasm, and still a bit aroused.
NOTE TO THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY: Maybe a scientific sex researcher will get wind of this topic and someone could invent a safe "orgasm cream". If you search for nettle videos on pornhub, you will find some females using it, so I think effects for men and women are similar. I've tested maybe one stimulating solution for women (on my wife) and it wasn't worth buying, but based on my usage of stinging nettle, I have no doubt that something could be invented or already exists that could work really well.
FINAL NOTES AND UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: Pain sensitivity on head of cock is increased. Would stinging only the frenulum create the pleasure sensation or would stinging only the shaft work? What really causes the pleasure, is it the stimulation of nerves due to the stinger toxins or an anomaly of the immune system?
