There is a secondary market for TENS units in the BDSM community, where the units are used for erotic play involving electrical stimulation.
Care should be taken not to allow the current to cross the chest as it may interfere with the heart; people with heart problems or pacemakers and pregnant women should avoid using them altogether.
