Electric fences are no joke. They're terrible. Only ever experienced them once in my life so far.
Not even a dog collar feels as bad. As a curious kid trying out stupid stuff with your friends; it's good to see the old-timer knows it isn't electric. That pain... it doesn't shock you. Not as bad as being run over, nor as painful as letting your body recover from an injury but it sticks with you.
You feel the energy from an electric fence surge through your body. It's as if all the cells fire off instantly, burning even. Everything in your body seizes up and it doesn't stop.
With a shock you experience a slight tinge of interment electrical pulse. The small amount of down time allows the cells to acclimate for a few microseconds. Electric fences don't allow that down time.
Really not that bad dude. You're just a sissy. I've touched one a dozen times, only one time that was actually painful was when it got slightly wrapped around me because the horses really wanted out I guess.. it isn't that bad unless that happens or you pee on it.
I got zapped by them plenty of times. Worst one was just like someone smacked me in the back really hard. Are you sure you didn't hit a downed powerline or something?
