I could feel the bumps applying pressure deep inside my cock and I got great pleasure from gently and rhythmically pushing and pulling the rods by about an inch. I’ve enjoyed sounding for a long time and often use medical grade stainless steel or titanium sounds for play, but the silicone version was unfamiliar.īecause they’re light and flexible, I couldn’t rely on gravity, but it did allow me to push deeper than normal, towards my prostate. The silicone wasn’t as smooth as metal and it needed to be constantly re-lubed. Sinner silicone ribbed urethral sound set (Picture: Lovehoney) I can definitely see how some people might enjoy it.Īs he already knew what he was doing, James tried a set of Sinner silicone sounds, which are much longer and more flexible than the regular metal ones.
It was certainly exciting and there was no way I could use its full length.Īlthough I wasn’t sure about it to start with, I’m planning to give it another go. It felt strange but nice – sometimes it felt like I was going to pee, but didn’t. I had to keep a firm grip on it to stop it sliding in too fast. It slid in far more easily than the silicone one – almost too easily. This one felt nice – it had weight to it and was cold, but warmed up in my hands. It seemed an alien thing to do and I can’t say it was a pleasurable experience, no matter how careful I was and how much lube I used. I smothered it in lube and gently inserted it into my dick. It was only about three inches long and frankly looked less lethal. I wasn’t really sure what I was doing, so I tried the hollow silicone sound first.

Yes, I looked a bit boggle-eyed at that, as well. He tried a Titus stainless steel sound and a shorter ribbed one from Sinner – the latter is hollow in order to allow fluids to pass through. Given that he’d never tried sounding before, I’d expected Ben to be a bit freaked out, but he proved himself pretty game. They agreed to try out some of the products for me. I really do have the best – and most tolerant – male friends. I had two companions in my investigations into sounding – James is pretty experienced with weird sex stuff, but Ben is a fellow beginner. If you’re still experiencing stinging after more than 24 hours, if there’s real or progressive pain or any sign of puncture (blood or sebum), contact a medical professional. It may sting a bit when you pee afterwards, but this is normal and should last no longer than 24 hours. Never push through pain, particularly sharp or very localised pain.Īlways urinate straight after play to flush your urethra of any lube or bacteria that may have been inserted. Choosing a toy that is too thick can result in overstretching/tearing the urethra, and a metal sound that’s too thin can result in a puncture. Use the right toy – you should never go too big or too small when you sound. If you don’t have patience, you shouldn’t explore urethral sounding. Never insert an item that is not designed for urethral sounding into the urethra – this includes fingers.Īlways use a sterile water-based lubricant.Ĭlean your hands and genitals thoroughly prior to play. This means there are some rules which need to be adhered to in order to ensure play is safe, as well as enjoyable. For sounding, the rules are as follows:
Urethral sounding is what we would classify as ‘serious sex play’.
