Catheter Insertion Preferences

I was only catheterized once many decades ago and avoid it recreationally only from UTI risk. But I’d love to try it, especially while I’m holding an enema, like Alberto’s post. I've always wondered about something I read. So, Alberto or others with catheter experience, when you feel the catheter push through your prostate, is it especially pleasant, or similar to orgasm, or isn't there much difference? I had read several times that going through the middle of the prostate was almost orgasmic. Thanks,

Eric

Eric, UTI risks can't be anywhere close to as bad as the medical community says it is. IF it was we would all be dead. IF you look at the poor quality of health care, and even some of the prescribed ways that videos show catheters being inserted it does not surprise me that people get UTI's. Also the medical community only sees people who cath. themselves and get an infection. They don't see the people who do it all the time and have no problems. In other words “you never know when you are to safe”.

When it comes to the catheter going thru the prostate, (WHEN I WAS YOUNG) , this feeling was the most overwhelming, brain changing, intense, thing I had ever felt. Different than an orgasm, more like losing control of your mind. NOW, getting old, or maybe its the drugs that I need for blood pressure, or BPH, that feeling has unfortunately diminished considerably.

I don't thing catheters are a big deal, and they should be used more then they are, rather than all the drugs. That's the same way I feel about enemas.

As a gay male medical fetishist I feel that catheterisation (UK spelling) is the ultimate procedure where the “doctor” takes control of one of the “patients” bodily functions.

My first catheter was instilled by a play doctor around 30 years ago and I can remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday. Although I had had medical interests for many years before that, catheterisation was a procedure that I had never heard of at that point.

After a typical doctors office examination the play doctor told me that I appeared to have some urine retention and he would need to “pop a little drainage tube” into my bladder to drain the urine. He explained what the procedure entailed and the sensations that I would feel which put my mind at ease. Although I was nervous I let him go ahead and must admit that I found it uncomfortable, rather than painful. Seeing the bag filling with my pee without any sensation of peeing was a huge turn on and on completion of the “examination” he told me that he was going to remove the drainage tube. I loved the feeling of no bladder control and asked him to leave it in and he reluctantly agreed, telling me to keep it in for a maximum of 3 days and gave me a syringe to deflate the balloon when I was ready to remove it.

I kept the catheter in for the 3 days that he had mentioned and have to admit that the removal was more uncomfortable than the insertion and for the next couple of days felt as though I was peeing glass.

Over the next few years I visited many gay websites which had medical fetish content and found that there were many guys who enjoyed catheters for pleasure, rather than medical necessity, and through these found suppliers here in the UK who sold them on a “no questions asked” basis without the need for a prescription, and ordered my first, a 16fr and a 500ml leg bag which is what my play doctor had used previously.

Once it arrived I couldn't wait to “pop that little drainage tube” (oh how I love that phrase) into myself, using only a standard lubricating jelly and found it more uncomfortable than when my play doc had inserted my first, but gritted my teeth and advanced it all the way until I saw the yellow fluid draining into the leg bag. I then inflated the balloon using the syringe that the doc had given me previously and gave a few tugs on the catheter which felt as though I was being wanked from the inside. I only kept the catheter in overnight as I had to be at work the following day.

Fast forward 10 years: After chatting with numerous guys, some of who had been cathed previously and others who had an interest in it I began taking the doctor role and and began advertising “medical examinations available” on various gay websites and over the years built up a decent amount of equipment from the basics…stethoscopes, BP cuff, thermometers, to more advanced / invasive equipment…speculums, proctoscopes and of course the good old Foley catheters.

Although I am mainly in “doctor” mode these days I still enjoy submitting to a full examination and have switched during a session. On one occasion one of my patients who I had catheterised offered to give me an examination, to which I agreed, and it was such a horny experience seeing a catheterised doctor inserting one into me.

I have a few videos on xhamster.com of myself in both doctor and patient modes, my user name there is medfetuk

I like it slow and with plenty of lube. I like to give and receive them. I have a real medical background and are trained to do them. I also find drinking plenty of fluids is important. Also making sure to re-lubricate the catheter frequently is important to prevent irritation due to drying of the catheter lube.

Catheterized myself a few years ago, and since then I definitely prefer a flaccid cock as it is much easier to overcome the curve between penis and body. First cleaning the cock and disinfect the urethra. Lubing before, both urethra and catheter, and during the insertion procedure. The catheter I used normally comes with a small tube of anti-bacterial, lightly anaesthetic lube (the urethra is still irritated after and burns for 2 days). A full bladder has the nice effect, that it takes longer to empty ^^ but - as happened to me - the bottles you prepared to collect the fluids could be to small, so for my next catheter play I would prepare more of them

Ah…I like it slow with external lube. But a little squirt of Astro-Glide into my Métis feels wonderful…then the slow gentle process (erect semi-erect or flaccid) is the same as it travels in…😊 Sometimes I’ll plug it off and fully insert then fill the ballon and pull it out to set it. Then there is that rush with it open and it slides in and you just pee with no control.

Both are fun…can’t wait for cooler months…I plan on wearing one 24-7 as much as possible.

What disinfectant are you using. Your recommendations please, you can list more types. Washing with soap or do you recommend something special?

I've used (and will, when I do it again) Octenisept Disinfection. It's a mucous membrane antiseptic also designed for application in urinary tract catheter placement procedures, according to its manufacturer. Idk any alternatives, this is just what was recommended to me a few years ago. (I'm not in the medical profession 😃 )

The catheter was packed with its own lube, a small tube with ca. 10ml. You needed to break the lock (in other words, once opened you have to use or dispose the tube) and you could technically directly apply the lube in the urethra by pushing the small tube tip into the urethra, but its definitely not designed for this way because the tip has seams from the manufacturing process which can irritate the urethra. I think it was a home care catheter product.

Thank you for the information. I will ask if it can be bought here under the same name. The doctor did not recommend anything to my husband, so now he has occasional problems and irritations.

Any other recommendation is welcome.

The number one thing with catherization, is, an insertion kit which comes with betadine swabs and sterile lib, an irrigation kit and the foley which is separate. Catherization is a sterile procedure needing sterile gloves and all the equipment gets used once then thrown out. Otherwise someone will have a massive uti

BZK is good to use if there is a reaction to betadine. Good sterile techniques to best of ones ability must be used to ensure no contamination.

Toshe, I was taught not sterile but clean, especially at home. I reuse the caths with a mind to over production of all the plastic.

I keep cipro on hand and start on early symptoms, cloudy urine and frequency.

The worse uti I got was from a cysto in the hospital from a rough introduction of the scope by my dick doc.

I was on Cipro after doing catheter play, but only after I found out the hard way that I was allergic to latex and got a bad UTI. Since then it's been silicone all the way, and even after prior use as I totally disinfect these with bleach. UTI's SUCK !

@ superego: I was thinking: With the millions of plastic bottles used daily, a couple new plastic catheters a day is a microscopic fraction of the amount. However repeated use of Cipro has the risk of resistant bacteria popping up. “Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus” comes to mind.

I recommend going new every time. Allegro medical sells single use intermittent catheters under a dollar each, as low as 40 cents in a box of 50. Four times a day is less than Starbucks coffee.

Long ago I re-sterilized my Foley catheters, then realized at a buck each it wasn't worth either the effort or the risk of an infection from ineffective procedure. I have never had to use antibiotic, after hundreds of catheterizations over years of using new every time.

I like giving and receiving. My preference is giving females caths as there is so much more opportunity to take the procedure to a purely fun and enjoyment session or alternate ways of control ,medical play and experimentation. When the bladder is very full ,the patient is very impatient and also in a bit of discomforfort. This is also a time when it is much easier to have someone give in more easily to your demands. Being able to manipulate the patient adds a lot more variety and control. I like to insert catheters at a moderate to slow rate. Sometimes a stop a go method method makes the cath wanted now.Do not need to use anesthetic lube with the right choice of cath size and a decent lube ,like surgilube . Slightly bigger caths can be inserted slowly also. For foley caths removal , I like to deflate the balloon and then add one small amount of air back in , to get the wrinkles that the balloon forms when completely deflated . These wrinkles or ridges on the balloon can be painful while removing the catheter. Securing the catheter and the drainage bag are critical. Though more expensive the Rusch Belly Bags have been my go to, to wear during the day and use a bed bag at night. The type and make of a catheter are also a choice. Duette Catheters are my preferred catheter but they are costly. So how long the catheter will be indwelling will affect the choice of cath. For general play and shorter use ,from less than a day to a few days Silcone coated teflon caths are attractive in price. The Duettes and the Belly bag make the best combo and better for those week and multi week uses.

@ Toshe63 ‘s quote follows ;which is exceptionally good advice that I have followed for years. UTI’s are much less frequent.

For me Receiving from a skilled nurse who is in command of the situation is most enjoyable. It is also nice to have those hands available for doing some urethra stretching, also with Stainless and or soft silicone sounds. Sounding and what ever that gets mixed in always make it great.

Been doing a Foley for about 5 years had one UTI now I take D-mannose like 3 caps two times a day have not had another try it worked for me ….

Many people take D-mannose for treating and preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs). D-mannose is thought to block certain bacteria from growing in the urinary tract. But does it work? does for me….

@bratwurst

You are absolutely correct about never reusing catheters. Brand new, sterile catheters are available for under dollar, Foley catheters for about $15, and they are well worth it. Also buy an insertion kit and follow the directions. Even if you follow the directions and watch a few YouTube videos on catheter insertion, there is a probability you will get a UTI. I recently got a UTI from a catheter, inserted by a properly trained RN, in a highly regarded hospital. Reusing stuff is just asking for trouble.

Moreover, getting rid of a UTI is sometimes not just a matter of taking a pill a day for a week. Sometimes, the antibiotic given also kills the microcritters in your GI tract As a result you can wind up pooing soup 8 or more times a day, even if you are taking the maximum daily dose of Imodium. This happened to me and lasted roughly 3 months. After it subsided, I continued to poo loose for another 4 months.

Ask yourself, is saving $20 worth that?

As an experienced professional when it comes to catheterization , asepsis is the most important aspect. This applies to both the procedure and the catheter.

UTI's even with proper asepsis can occur as highlighted by jim31756 in his post, with regards to D-mannose , it's only effective against E Coli but there are other organigrams that can produce an UTI e.g Pseudomonas .

UTI's are more less common in males than females due to the longer urethra that males have, but they tend to be more serious and usually require the use of antibiotics . Urinary sepsis or Urosepsis occurs when an untreated UTI spreads through your urinary tract to your kidney (pyelonephritis) and causes sepsis. It can also be caused by a bladder infection (cystitis), although cystitis rarely causes sepsis by itself.‌

Sepsis is an often dangerous condition that happens when your body damages its own tissues while responding to infection. In some cases, sepsis may develop into septic shock, which is a dramatic drop in blood pressure that can lead to organ dysfunction and death.‌

Even though most people recover from mild sepsis, the mortality rate for septic shock is around 40%. Having severe sepsis will also make you more likely to develop infections in the future.

As Sean mentioned in his post , treatment with antibiotics can lead to the development of Clostridium difficile. Clostridium difficile, also known as C. difficile or C. diff, is bacteria that can infect the bowel and cause diarrhoea. The infection most commonly affects people who have recently been treated with antibiotics.

C. diff infections are unpleasant and can sometimes cause serious bowel problems, but they can usually be treated with another course of antibiotics. It's for this reason that recent studies and practises have recommanded the use of probiotics when using broad spectrum antibiotics .

Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut flora. Probiotics are considered generally safe to consume, but may cause bacteria-host interactions and unwanted side effects in rare cases.

I like the thrill of cathing myself in a dirty old Shell Gas Station rest room

I found some excellent videos on YouTube:

Do you like to go slow, or quick?

Definitely slow, especially going through the prostate

For male genitalia, do you perfer erect or flaccid?

I'm usually fairly hard by the time insertion starts. Sometimes difficult getting through the prostate so the nurse will apply a cold pack to my penis and scrotum & hold it til it goes down. That deflates things pretty quick.

Do you perfer to have a full bladder/urgency?

I'm usually pretty full if they're doing this so getting drained as quick as possible is a big relief.

Lube: Injected into the urethra prior to insertion or globbed at urethral meatus? Also, do you perfer an anesthetic lube?

I prefer being numbed. The squirt it in and put a clamp on my penis for a few min.

Do you perfer the receiver be bound, free, or a more clinical setting?

Has always been clinical.

That's kinda interesting. I do all the insertions by myself. I do it slowly to avoid pain. I do prepare myself, syringe attached and valve installed. Then I do the insertion by adding lube on about two to three inches of the catheter and on the meatus. Afterwards I do inflate the balloon and then put the holder "tape" onto my tight. I do find these small oval tapes with attachement very comfortable for long term wearing.

I have always dreamt of being catheterized but it has never happened to me. I think I would prefer the lube to be injected into my urethra as I have done that to myself for urethral sounding but I have never gone as deep as a catheter goes. I also think I would want them to go slow the first time.
