I used urethral sounds for approximately 18 months. During that time, I went from a 6mm x 8 inch sound, to 11mm x 11 inch sound. My depth of insertion went from 3 inches into my penis to through my prostate. One time, I think that I was touching the entrance to my bladder, but I was not sure. I was determined to keep going deeper, and larger. Sounding is addictive! My personal goal was a 13mm sound to the bladder entrance, using only slight pressure from my fingertip. At that point, I would be able to insert my little finger into my urethra, up to the second joint. This was my final objective!! The cost to me achieving the 11mm level was a cock that was continually sore; urination that burned; and pissing only when I could sit. Somehow, I thought this was acceptable.
At 11mm, my urethra tore, and I had my first UTI. $600 dollars ,
45 days healing, and horrible embarrassment at my doctor's office, i was healed!
Did I stop? No! My problem was poor sterilization procedures, and unrealistic goals I would stop at 10mm and just have fun. Two months later, I had my second UTI. $300, and 30 days healing. I finally realized that, while sounding was exquisite for unique sensations, it was playing Russian roulette with my health, and the fun was never going to be worth the cost! In addition, the practice is an addiction. Please be careful!!!
