DO NOT push it or force it downwards – allow gravity to do its job and naturally pull the rod into your penis. Gently place an appropriately sized rod at your hole and slowly insert it. Get a semi-erect penis (easier said than done, I know) and hold it in your hand, gently pulling the sides of the urethra apart to make the pee-hole more prominent. The Hegar Urethral Sounding Kit is one of the best known sounding kits available to buy, not to be confused with the sounds of Sammy Hagar from Van Halen. Most urethral rods are quite weighty, as this helps them to glide in with the force of gravity rather than be forced down the hole. These rods are used for deep play, helping men to reach the base of their cock and their inner prostate gland. They can technically be used by men or women, although a woman’s urethra is much shorter than a man’s, so she would only have to go a very small distance down to experience pleasure whereas a man would often need to go further (i.e. They usually come in stainless steel and have a distinctive shape which helps them to slide down the urethral opening more easily. Urethral sounds are the long rods that we most commonly associate with urethral play. As with many kinks, it’s all about the psychology and the idea of it. As the name suggests, sperm stoppers are designed to stop men from ejaculating, though it may still be physically possible for guys to cum while wearing one. Sperm stoppers are said to stimulate the end of your cock, with many male subs enjoying the psychological torture of not being able to cum. These fetish toys attach onto your cock externally and then place an attached metal ball inside the end of your urethra at the tip of your cock. Male chastity devices and fetish toys are becoming quite popular these days, and sperm stoppers are slightly more extreme male chastity devices that make for a change from your run-of-the-mill cock cages. Some are also hollow throughout so that you can ejaculate or pee through them during your urethral play session or as you go about your everyday life while wearing a plug. Penis plugs can be made from silicone or metal and come in various sizes/thicknesses too. However, you’ll sometimes see men being sounded in a medical setting too (NSFW!). Due to its nature as an extreme fetish, sounding is often associated with BDSM, torture scenes, and fem-doms. If you ever watch urethral sounding porn, you’ll notice that a lot of the time, a dominant woman sounds the penis of a tied-up man (NSFW!). The psychological excitement and taboo thrill of urethral insertion is also an experience that many men and women enjoy. She loves it to the point where an orgasm without a finger in her urethra is a special request rather than the norm.” “My wife says that there is a spot on the back of her clitoris (in her urethra) that works as an orgasm 10X multiplier. Best to have it done by a trained professional!” Then she pulls it out and all the juive runs out. When I come the rod gets pushed out halfway by my sperm. Then jerks me off ever so slowly while massaging my prostate. It's an intense feeling, though, no doubt about it.” Not painful, exactly, though I wouldn't quite call it pleasurable either. I don’t like going all the way down, it feels too dangerous.” Moving up through sizes can be painful, sometimes it just won’t work so you have to find an in-between size and just wait. Filling the urethra is intense, and the sound feels cold and heavy. I’ve only done it to myself, with a set of curved sounds. It’s an intense sensation that can lead to mind blowing orgasms, or if done incorrectly, a trip to the ER.” I wanted to get different people’s opinions on how sounding feels, so I stalked this Quora post and took some of my favorite quotes: There’s a mixture of pain/pleasure and discomfort/comfort for a lot of people – everyone’s sounding experience is different. Some people use it as a form of male chastity (more on that later) while others just want to have the most intense orgasm humanly possible. Like all kinks, people associate urethral sounding with different things and derive pleasure from different aspects of it. Also, as we mentioned, you can directly stimulate the prostate internally with extreme sounding, so the potential for pleasure is astronomical and may be able to outdo traditional anal prostate milking orgasms. There are tons of sensitive nerve endings in the tip of the penis and down the length of the urethra, so it can be very pleasurable to stimulate these nerve endings with urethral sounds.
