Finally got a chance to play with the sounds this evening. It's been a while, what with hospital stays, time in skilled nursing facility, etc. Back in assisted living now, and requiring very little assistance. So, I got the Hegar sounds out this evening and had some enjoyment.
I'd been playing with a 6mm silicone sound off and on, so I started with the 7mm Hegar. I squirted a bit of Surgilube from the 20cc catheter-tip syringe. With the lube at room temp, I can tell how much I've injected from the cool feeling in my urethra. The 7mm slid right in, so I played just a little bit and flipped it to the 8mm end. Went in like it had a home; I could barely feel any difference in size between the 7 and the 8. Before long, I traded that one in for the 9/10 mm and had some more fun -- working my way up a millimeter at a time.
There was just the slightest bit of resistance -- no discomfort at all -- when I slid the 11mm into myself. I played with it until it was running absolutely free with no resistance at all, before I went to the 12mm. There was considerable resistance with the 12mm and I added a bit more lube and then took it real slow. Giving the opening time to adjust to the toy. There was never any pain, but I could tell there would have been had I forced the sound into my urethra. I just maintained a slight pressure on the sound, letting my body adjust to the size, and before long, it slid right in totally pain free. It was a snug fit, so there was more stimulation than with any of the previous, smaller ones. I played for a good while, enjoying the sensations and longingly remembering the days before the back injury, and before about 3/4 of the nerves to the genital area and hence, the sexual responses, got knocked out. I still have some sexual feeling and it's enough, if everything's right and all the stars align, to have an orgasm. But tonight wasn't one of those nights. I could tell.
So, I enjoyed what I have and after I removed the 12mm for the last time, I squirted in a bit more lube, and slipped the tip of my little finger on my left hand into my urethra. The 12mm sound had prepared me well, and I was able to get almost the entire length inside. The sounds feel great, but it's a special thrill to wiggle the tip of your finger and feel it massaging the inside of your urethra. Neat feeling. That could definitely lead to an orgasm. And some evening soon, it'll get the chance. If I can tolerate the increased diameter, my middle finger is 1.25" longer than my little finger. That should be intense.
If you're sounding, or thinking about it, just remember that when I tell about the sizes I use, I've been doing this for a long time. And still, after being away for a while, I start slow and work my way back up. It ain't a contest, and it's not supposed to hurt. So play safe. Have fun, y'all and don't forget to tell us about it.
