No offense meant, but I think that is more “normal” than being barefoot all the time.
I am baffled by you.

You do realize that the human body was designed to function without shoes, but was never designed to be hooked up to a function generator, right? 
Besides, there’s the power of habituation: my coworkers don’t notice me anymore, unless I happen to wear shoes for one reason or another, and then it’s remark after remark all day long.

I agree.
Eyes are meant to function without glasses also, but people wear them.
That’s when they go bad. If my feet ever go bad, I will wear shoes - something my mom must do although she hates it for instance, because she has T2 diabetes and don’t feel much of anything with her feet anymore.

Not that silly ide though.
You decided to do this, yet in my brain, something might not be “wired quite right”? 
I never ever actually decided to voluntarily electrocute myself 
But still, nice project - keep it on, I’m still looking for some “jewelry” to light up my flexy

Difference is, I did not enjoy it one bit

You could implant the antenna… 
…Wait…
But then you’d need…
Shit
… asking for a friend… but where do we draw the line on voluntary?
I will NEVER live down my shame/glory of one incident
Highschool
Had one of the shocking pens… not that crazy, my hand had become numb to it and bored by shocking friends for cheap laughs
Had a big math test,
Important note, I had a serious pen chewing problem when stressing back then
Yes, exactly what you think happened
Your mouth/saliva is very conductive, and your gums are very sensitive to electrical currents
(Legitimately top 10 most painful thing I’ve felt and I’ve felt some ow)
Stood up / flinch-threw the pen 100mph across the classroom to the loudest bang in a quiet room
I’ve ever heard
Such an amazing fail I genuinely can’t even be mad

Hehe, that’s a great story - guess you quit your pen-chewing habit after that? I can imagine that hurt quite a lot… electrical shocks produce a sensation I find very unpleasant (I know this shit from electric epilation, hurts like a… whatever - and yeah, I kinda do that voluntary… sigh), and that on such a sensitive area… ouch!
I use an insulation tester quite a lot at work, for fault finding on El.motors and wiring. They are being used in a harsh environment so I test them on myself to make sure they work😂
50V-1000V all depending on what voltage the equipment I’m troubleshooting has 
50V and 250V is not that bad, it tickles.
500V you get a constant pain, but not unbearable.
1000V I flinch and pull my hand towards me
Note that these meters have a super low current, so it’s not too dangerous to run between thumb and index finger, wouldent try it Trough the heart though 
Those things are DC, right?
Yeah there dc
If you can muster 1000VDC with something smaller than a motor vehicle you’re a better man than I
Voltage doubler will do it, the insulation resistance testers us a stack of voltage doubles and large caps its eventually a CDI.
So it’s like a capacitive charge pump?
So it is:

Well I for one don’t have a bunch of fun use cases for high voltage low current amplification 
built a stunning gun for a collage project was great fun.
Did you achieve actual electro muscular incapacitation? Or just a pain response
I know there are a lot of things that make tasers actually effective, vs just high voltage and contact points
Taser =/= to stun gun
AC vs DC. Also, Tasers usually have a cartridge where the electrodes shoot out.
I’ve been zapped by more than a few high-voltage caps. But the pain at high frequency is something else. It’s not so much painful as a really nasty kind of feeling.
No muscle response. Just an urge to dial the voltage back down fast
