Many people, particularly newbies, have numerous fears about urethral stimulation. It is okay to be scared: after all, urethral stimulation does bring some risks and you need to know how to avoid them. This is why it’s important to follow all safety guidelines and to consult a kink-friendly doctor who can help you stay safe during urethral play.
Here are some common fears about urethral sounding:
- I will not be able to Insert Sounds
This is one of the most common fears that beginners have. It is not unfounded: inserting sounds and other urethral toys do take some practice. However, it is not impossible. You need to go slowly and carefully. Keep in mind: this is not something that can be rushed and it will not happen out of nowhere. Many people need to dedicate some time to be able to insert their urethral toys. This is why it’s best to start with shorter toys ideal for beginners. Also, it might help to use urethral stretchers and trainers first. These are special urethral toys that will help you stretch your urethra so you can insert larger toys. Others prefer to use urethral sounds from the beginning. If you choose to go this way make sure to be patient and to go slowly. This is a process that will likely take some time.
- Sound will go too Deep
Most types of urethral sounds are long enough to go very deep. They can reach your prostate or even bladder. This is good news if you wish to try deep urethral stimulation, but not all people are into this. As a beginner, you should not insert your toys too deep.
The good news here is that the sound will not slip too deep on its own. It may go down your urethra all the way to the base of your penis, but even this is not considered deep. If this happens, you can easily take the sound out without problems. In fact, putting the sound deeper than this requires some effort so there is not really fear that it might go even deeper. The best way to prevent the sound from going too deep is to go slowly and gently. You are the one controlling the sound so make you are careful. This may be difficult in the heat of the moment but it is possible. You need to be careful about this. It comes with practice so people with more experience can usually relax during sounding and still control their toys without going too deep.
- Sound will hurt my Urethra
This is one of the most important things when it comes to urethral sounding. It is vital to make sure that the sound doesn’t hurt your urethra. There are many safety guidelines you should follow to prevent this. First of all, make sure to use only proper urethral toys. Never use random objects or household items for sounding. Make sure that your urethral toys are of high-quality. This will help in keeping you safe. Another thing to think about is to be careful during sounding. Make sure to go slowly and use plenty of lube. There are many men who enjoy urethral stimulation to the fullest and never hurt their urethra. However, it is important to be very careful and familiar with the safety guidelines in order to avoid problems. Sounds should not hurt your urethra, but you need to be careful and go slowly.
- I will hurt myself if I cum with Sound Inside
This is something you need to be careful about. Many people like to ejaculate with the sound inserted, while others do not like the feeling. If you cum with the sound inside, you can expect some leakage (the semen will drip around the sound). Keep in mind that sounds rarely provide a tight fit. In other cases, the sound may block the semen so you may experience retrograde ejaculation. This happens when the semen goes back to the bladder and is expelled from the body at next urination. For many people, this is safe, but this is not something you should do often. In other words, cumming with the sound inside is safe in many cases. However, there are men who should not do this because of medical reasons. This is why it’s best to consult a kink-friendly doctor before you even attempt urethral sounding, particularly ejaculation with the toy inside. You need to make sure that it is safe for you to cum with the sound inside. If it’s safe from a medical point of view, chances are that you will not hurt yourself. There are many men who enjoy to cum with a urethral toy inside and they don’t suffer injuries.
- My body will hurt after Sounding
This is another reasonable fear. After all, sounding can seem very invasive, as much as it’s pleasurable. However, it should not hurt. In fact, pain is a warning sign that something is wrong. While some people, particularly beginners, feel some discomfort or even mild pain, this should never be pronounced. Sharp pain is a major warning sign. If you feel it, make sure to consult your doctor immediately. Luckily, this doesn’t happen often. You need to go slowly and use plenty of lube to minimize risks.
Again, urethral sounding should not hurt. What you may experience, particularly as a newbie, is some burning sensation during urination. This typically happens after sounding, even for those people who have lots of experience. However, this burning should not be too uncomfortable. If it persists, make sure to consult your doctor because it might be a sign of a urinary tract infection or an injury.
Okay! Now we know that Urethral sounding is a fun and sensual experience, but where to start?
Many beginners are intrigued by this type of stimulation but some toys may seem too intimidating. Other people are familiar with urethral stimulation but only when using penis plugs.
What to do when you wish to try urethral sounds for the first time?
Here are some useful tips for beginners who want to try urethral sounding for the first time:
Choosing the Best Toy
Before you start, you will need some important things:
- Find an appropriate sound.
This is the most important step. It’s crucial to choose a toy that fits your body perfectly. Beginners should start small and build their way up from there. Keep in mind that sounds are generally longer than penis plugs so if you’re used to plugs only, it may take some adjustments before you are fully comfortable with your sound. A good sound for a beginner is smaller and not really thick. It’s best to use a sound that’s not very ribbed because ribbed exterior makes the experience more intense. While this is a great thing for sexual enjoyment, you might want to train your urethra first before moving to more demanding toys.
- Make sure it’s clean.
Your toys have to be properly sanitized before you use them. Cleaning it with a bit of water is not enough. This is why metal urethral toys are the best: they are easy to sterilize. You can rub them with alcohol but it might not be enough. You should also boil them in water before each use. Make sure to clean your sound properly before you start.
- Make sure your hands and body are clean.
Your toys are not the only thing involved in urethral play. It’s vital that you are clean, too. Make sure to sanitize your hands and clean your genitalia. If you wish to try urethral sounding with a partner, make sure that they are clean, too. Some people even like to use surgical gloves for extra protection (this is particularly popular in medical role-playing and using urethral sounds as medical toys).
Use plenty of lube.
Urethral stimulation is not possible without a generous amount of lube. Do not even attempt any sounding or another type of urethral stimulation without lube. Also, make sure that the lube is appropriate. It’s best to use sterile lube specially made for urethral and medical use.
- Insert Your Sound
Once you’re ready, it’s time to insert your sound. Before you start, make sure that your urethra is wide enough to accommodate it. It you feel resistance or discomfort, stop immediately and move to a smaller sound. If you still experience pressure and pain, wait a little and choose smaller urethral toys. It’s important to train your urethra before you move to more demanding toys.
Here are the steps on how to insert a sound properly:
- Start with lube. Apply a generous amount on the tip of your penis, particularly on the opening. Take your toy and apply a lot of lube to it, especially on the tip of the toy.
- Take your sound with one hand and place the tip on the penis opening. Keep in mind that many sounds require you to be flaccid in order to insert them. In general, inserting a sound into a flaccid penis is easier than inserting into an erect one.
- Press the toy gently into the opening and let it slide gently inside. You should not encounter resistance or pain. You should never force a sound into the urethra.
- Let the sound settle on its own. It will stop at the deepest point of your urethra, or the deepest point your urethra can accommodate at the moment. Do not force it further in!
- Allow some time for your urethra to get used to the toy and accommodate it. You can add more lube if necessary.
- If you wish to go deeper, try changing the angle of penetration. Urethra has a natural bend at one point so changing the angle may help pushing the toy further. However, this should not be painful so if you encounter major resistance or discomfort, stop.
- Once the sound is comfortably inserted, you may start stimulating your penis to bring it to erection. You may even slide the toy in and out to enhance the experience. Experiment until you find out what works best.
