Disclosed is an electrical receptacle which is safe for children yet easy for adults to use. This electrical receptacle provides power only to a properly inserted plug and makes use of one or more sensors which are able to detect blade insertion, ground plug insertion, presence of the plug face motion near the receptacle face or a combination thereof. The receptacle includes a contact assembly adapted and configured to conductively couple each blade of the plug to a conductor, one or more sensors, and a control circuit; wherein the control circuit determines whether or not to provide power to the properly inserted plug by determining if substantially simultaneous insertion has occurred.
