Good, I dont think it a safe thing to do.

Urethral sounding is a form of sexual play that involves inserting a thin sex toy, known as a sound, into the urethra. Proponents of this sexual practice claim that it can help heighten pleasure and satisfaction.

Originally, the practice of urethral sounding began as a medical procedure to help clear obstructions in the urethra or to help dilate, or expand, the urethra after a stricture. However, people began to practice this act for sexual gratification, using fluid or a glass or metal object.

Although some people may derive pleasure from urethral sounding, it can result in sexual health complications and severe damage to the urethra. As it is highly likely that people will require medical attention for subsequent issues, many urologists strongly recommend avoiding this sexual act.

In this article, we discuss urethral sounding in more detail, including why people do it, the benefits and risks, and how to perform it safely.

The urethra Source is a slender tube that is primarily responsible for transporting urine from the bladder to an external opening in the genitals. Its anatomy varies slightly between males and females. In females, the urethra is roughly 1.5 inches (in) in length. In males, it is much longer at about 7–8 in, and it also helps transport semen.

Medically, a sound Source refers to an instrument that a medical professional places within a narrow passage, such as the urethra. They typically do this while a person is under anesthesia. Outside of this field, it can describe the sexual practice of placing a soft or rigid item into the urethra via the opening, called the urethral meatus. It can also refer to the injection of liquid along the canal for sexual arousal and pleasure.

Some people may use other terms to describe this sexual act, such as urethral play, catheter fetish, or cock-stuffing. Some may also call sounds other names, such as bougies. Sounds are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations to meet various requirements.
Why people do it
 Infrequently, urology clinics encounter cases of retained foreign bodies, with a leading cause being autoerotic stimulation or sexual curiosity. Proponents suggest that the act is stimulating and can provide sexual pleasure, due to both the urethra being in a sensitive area and some viewing the act as taboo.

In males, the urethra passes through the prostate gland. If a person is able to insert a urethral sound deep enough, they may be able to stimulate the prostate, which some refer to as the P-spot. In female anatomy, evidence notes that the urethra passes through genital walls, which are dense with nerves. Some experts also consider the G-spot an excitable area along the length of the urethra.

As such, due to the sensitive placement of the urethra, some people may be able to achieve sexual stimulation and pleasure from the act of sounding.
Why people may enjoy it

Urethral sounding itself offers no specific health benefits and poses some health risks. However, proponents perform the act due to the potential sexual pleasure they may receive.

A person may experience the following benefits from attempting urethral sounding:

    exploration of their body and different sensations
    a different sexual experience
    stronger and longer orgasms
    deeper intimacy and trust with a partner

However, it is worth noting that this sexual activity can cause damage to the urethra. Ideally, only a medical professional should perform sounding for health purposes in a safe and controlled environment.
Safety and risks

Urethral sounding can be a safe practice if a person performs it correctly. However, most urologists advise that only experts should perform the act and that it should only serve as a medical procedure.

Proper sterilization before and after a sounding session is essential to reduce the likelihood of infections. Knowing the appropriate size of the sound or object and starting slowly and gently can also help prevent discomfort while sounding.

An older study highlights that recreational urethral sounding is associated with certain sexual behaviors — such as having multiple partners and unknown partners — and may increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Additionally, the Urology Care Foundation notes that side effects of urethral dilation can include bleeding and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other sources point out the risks of urethral trauma and erection problems.

Another potential risk of sounding involves the object becoming lost or stuck, potentially making surgery necessary to extract the foreign body. This could put the person at risk of infection, injury, or trauma.

Many urologists will emphasize that the risks of performing this act greatly outweigh any pleasure a person may experience. As such, they do not recommend that people perform urethral sounding. Additionally, they advise anyone who does attempt sounding to seek medical attention to address any health complications they will likely experience.
How to perform it safely

Most health experts advise against trying urethral sounding. However, those who insist on trying it can minimize the risks by taking the following steps.
Preparation

    It is essential to clean and sterilize the urethral sounds in boiling water or betadine solution before use.
    A person should thoroughly wash their hands and genitals with gentle, unscented soap. They can also use surgical gloves for added protection.
    The individual should choose a comfortable position, which can be sitting, standing, or lying down.
    It is advisable to apply lubricating gel to the genitals and sound.
    People with a penis should insert a sound while the penis is flaccid, as it may be uncomfortable and difficult to apply a sound to a fully erect penis. For people with a vulva, opening the labia may provide greater access to the urethral opening.

Insertion

    A person should try to relax before carefully and slowly inserting the lubricated sound. They can insert the sound by using one hand to open the urethral hole and the other to guide the sound gently inside.
    It is essential not to force the sound if there is pressure or resistance.
    If there is pressure or resistance, or the sound is not going as deep as a person would like, they can switch to a smaller sound. They can also gently remove the sound and add extra lube to it and the genital area.

Experimentation and exploration

Once the sound is inside, a person can explore what they find the most stimulating. This may involve gently moving the sound in and out in small increments or changing the angle of penetration. However, if a person experiences pain or significant resistance, they should stop. People may also try massaging the genitals, using a vibrator, or asking a partner to hum at the end of the device. Humming introduces vibrations, which may further enhance pleasure.
Removal

    A person should gently and slowly remove the sound, using lube as necessary to prevent discomfort and pain. It is advisable for people with a penis to wait until it is flaccid before removing the sound.
    It is best to urinate right away to flush out any lube or bacteria in the urethra. Although this may sting a little because of the irritation in the urethral wall, this discomfort is often temporary.
    Thoroughly washing the sound, hands, and genital area is important for preventing infections. A person should also sterilize the sound and store it away properly to avoid contamination.

FAQs

Some frequently asked questions about urethral sounding may include:
Does it stretch the urethra?

Potential stretching will depend on a person's practice. Occasional sounding will not stretch the urethra. However, regularly performing sounding and increasing the size of the sound may cause the urethra to stretch.
Does it affect urination?

Practicing sounding safely lessens the chance of it having any long-term effects on urination. However, a person will probably experience irritation and stinging when urinating after a sounding session. It is important to note that even if a person performs the act safely, they still run the risk of potential scarring and damage to the urethra.
Who should not try it?

Urologists advise against urethral sounding outside of medical practice. However, those with an increased risk of experiencing potentially severe complications should take extra care to avoid the practice. These people include those with a history of urethral injury, frequent UTIs, or any condition affecting the prostate, such as prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
What if the sound gets stuck?

People should try to relax the genital muscles and apply more lube. If the sound is still stuck, they should immediately go to the emergency department and be honest with the medical team to receive prompt treatment.
Are male and female urethral sounding the same?

The process of urethral sounding for males and females is the same, although it may provide different sensations. As the female urethra is shorter, it can only accommodate smaller sounds.
Summary

Urethral sounding is a form of sexual play that involves placing foreign objects inside the urethra. Originally a medical procedure to dilate the urethra, proponents report that sounding can enhance pleasure and sexual satisfaction.

However, it is important to be aware of the numerous risks the act holds. Most urologists heavily advise against sounding due to the high risk of damage to the urethra and other health complications.

Safely performing the practice with sterile and appropriate sounds may help avoid potential problems, such as urinary tract complications. However, most health experts emphasize that it is a risky act that should not take place outside of medical practice.

Man, 73, is left with horrifying penile 'necrosis' after getting three 1cm-wide batteries stuck in his urethra

The unnamed 73-year-old, from Australia, confessed to using the batteries for 'self-gratification purposes' and had never had any issues removing objects in the past.

Hello all.  David here. Been gone since last August. Looks like the discussion continued with lots of caution. That's great.  I don't "sound" often and only for a short time so the risks are not really there.

I think it can be a wonderful sharing of intimacy which generally comes with knowing every inch of another person's body.  Having a companion do the sounding can be a cooperative joy and good excuse to examine things up close with the lights on.

I have a couple short sounds with the rings at the end, but I've never tried one with the "retainer ring".

I haven't found the old "flower vase" pictures yet.  I would love to have a partner take the photos as another fun project.

well, gotta go wank to some videos.

Be stiff,
David

Dont leave it so long next time 

and keep looking for those "flower vase" pictures.

Ok, Sandra.
I am beginning my Feng Shui spring cleaning and i will look for the box with the old telephone that has photos my "flower vase" penis pics. 

But I am going to need step by step instructions on how to get them from the old phone, to my computer, to this website and posted in this thread.

Isn't it amazing how just the slightest arousal typing this message make one's mind go wild with ideas!?!

I think I'll start a "flower of the month club" where I "sound" a flower stem down my penis (or would that be "up"?) and share a pic here.  Of course, the ultimate would be to take the picture at the location the flower was located and picked.  That public connection would give so much more meaning to the union of plant and human and public, eh?

Be sure to check out my extended post on "Have you ever had sex in a public place".  That is a true story that begs to be followed up with a sequel.

So, if you can, send those instructions to post pictures as soon as you can because I am likely to try new flowers and "things" and take new pictures thereof before I find that old phone.

Be wet,
David

My own experience with putting something was 14 years ago, it quite turned badly because I inserted by curiosity a cotton stick you normally use to clean your ears 😂 it entered fine, it went out fine but when I needed to pee it was giving an awful burning sensation in the inside of the tip. Since this unfortunate experience I don't want to try further with a sound or something else 😉

Yes this has been my experience too.

[Bobknob]

I have had this done to me by a woman  that I had only just met.
She took me to a room made me take my trousers and pants of then poked a cotton bud down my pee hole followed by a thin plastic stick. She pushed it in about 2 inches and twisted it around a bit.

It was at the STD clinic. I enjoyed that she was touching and fiddling with my cock and I wanted to get an erection but it was too sore and over to quickly.

When you have found them we will start a new topic here - https://curious.pinkhotelgroup.com/index.php/board,62.0.html

and we will talk you through how to get that done.

at the location the flower was located and picked.

So, if you can, send those instructions to post pictures as soon as you can because I am likely to try new flowers and "things" and take new pictures thereof before I find that old phone.

Those instructions will be in the above link.
