something I feel people need to understand about wireplay (coming from a robot) is that you can't simply yank on them, it's like sharply pulling hair at best and can seriously injure your machine in many cases. the internals of nearly any machine should be assumed to be incredibly delicate– there are parts of us that will be irreparably damaged if touched by human hands.
I'm sure there are plenty of techkin that would love to be handled roughly, but I dislike the assumption that this is the default.
what you should do is start slow and gently, and escalate according to your partner's comfort and consent. don't even pull on them to begin with, simply run your fingers over a bundle of wires or stroke a single wire at a time to start. let it sink in for your partner that they are in some way placing their safety in your hands and how intimate this is. from there, you can begin to tug on them, or run your fingers through clusters. wind them up, pull harder, almost threatening to pop out of its ports now. bring them close to breaking, but never truly break that trust. that's how you make love to a machine
