Do you use urinary catheters?

I have to use ISCs for medical reasons. At times I have to go into an indwelling cath. These last up to 13 weeks before changing, but usually block before then.

I have to ISC roughly every 2 hours .i did have a foley in for about a month.They are restricting though and mine was uncomfortable as it was far too big .

No , but would love to have someone safely cath me...............

I used to cath myself with a sterile length of IV tubing. I used lidocaine viscous for comfort. Worked well and never had an infection. I was careful with being sterile. I'd wipe the tip of my penis with an alcohol swab. It was exciting feeling the tubing penetrate my bladder and watching the pee flow out. I haven't done it in years just an occasional sound for fun. ??

Well folks I am nearing the end of abx for uti. unfortunately I also had eppididmitis (I have no idea of the spellin) which needed a different abx.

I am convinced thie is because of retrograde ejaculation which was from mr roto rooter (turp).

cum ends up in my bladder and I get infectious reasponse. I still like to cum dry, but it may b a danger tommy health.

Its no fun getting old but the alternative is worse

you folks are really like family

Yes I have for several years and the only uti I got was from the hospital insertion during hernia surgery.

Occasionally have acute urinary retention due to BPH. 16 Fr Coude cath works wonders. Great relief when the cath passed the prostate and the bladder pressure is relieved. Sterile technique a must

I love using a tube to catheters my self when I have a full badder the feeling is wonderful

I have not used an actual urinary catheter but have used a homemade soft silicone tube with tape on the outside to prevent it from being pushed out. I use it to externally fill, rather than emptying my bladder, although I also do that at the end.

To help prevent UTI’s I always drink lots of water before and after, and pee many times when done playing in order to flush out any bacteria

I intermittent cath 5 X's a day , if i am going on a long trip i will put an inwelling foley with a bad under my diaper because most of the time my bladder has blow hy incontinence where its doing every thing it can to get rid of the ballon so I can still saturate a diaper with urine it squeezes out and around the cathter.and down my urethra .

The stars finally aligned and I was able to have a 22fr inserted today. Plan to keep it in thru the long weekend. Very much enjoy the feeling so far.

I have self-cathed a couple of times, years ago, after ordering a handful of them online. I don't recall the specific size, but I was very careful to avoid contaminating it before insertion. It was a strange experience, and once the tube reached my bladder, watching the pee flow out on its own was fascinating. It's probably been about 10 years, and I haven't bothered trying it again. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea, though.

Relatedly, I have played with a set of rosebud urethral sounds - well, really just the smallest one. It's a strange but pleasurable experience, watching it sliding into the end of the penis as an inevitable erection accompanies the penetration. The only downside for me was the stinging sensation that follows when you urinate after a play session. It's been a while since I used sounds, too. I once played with a lady who wanted to see me cum with a sound inserted. I held back as I was uncertain about the effects of ejaculating with the urethra blocked. I still kind of wonder how that would feel but don't want to take any chances on ending up in the emergency room...

Luckily, I've never had any ill effects beyond the temporary stinging sensation afterward.

Use it on weekends.

I will give you an enema.

I put 16 sizes in the urethra.

NG tube puts in 8 sizes.

I will not eat anything other than a nasogastric tube.

I will act with a wheelchair.

The urethral is disinfected every 2 hours

I will clean it three times a day in the shower. It's only a weekend fun.

I do on occasion. When I get a rash from wearing diapers, I put one on and a rectal tube in and air out

We use betadine solution on the penis area and also on the Foley catheters before inserting it...

I like to use Foley catheters on the weekends when I have nothing to do. I mainly use an 18fr most of the time. I clean my catheter with alcohol wipes before and after every removal. As well as using sterile techniques.

Sometimes. larger than 18Fr tends to be too painful but the feeling when the cath passes into the bladder is quite special. It's not something I do often since there is always a fair bit of burning sensation afterwards.

I should add that I am scrupulous about sterile technique. I learned it as a scrub nurse when I was an undergrad and I suspect a lot of members have no training in it, but UTIs are zero fun and sterile technique is the best way to avoid any infection.

My sub loves having me catheter him. I don't do it very often so it is a nice sexy surprise. He sees all of the supplies laid out he knows he's in for pleasure.

I have to straight cath, 3-4 times a day, due to weak bladder muscles. My bladder will only empty about 50%. It took several times doing this before getting used to it. It's still not comfortable, but it now is no longer a "big deal". I use 14FR. caths. My urologist orders a several week's supply from a medical supply house.

Some times one of the 2 bladder sphincter muscles doesn't want to relax enough to let me insert the cath. When in a hurry, I have sometimes rammed the cath through the bladder muscles and have gotten a little blood for doing that. I refer to that as a "conscious effort to relax the sphincters" I have to "gentle manipulate" the cath at that point.

Ain't aging fun!

Catheter play can be very dangerous O yes now days walking across the street is Dangerous going to Walmart

here in Dallas 2 police was shot at home depot store...stay very clean use Sterile Gloves i alcohol on my gloves and then i use betadine on the gloves and the Catheter ..my point is be very clean and safe but remember life is short be careful but enjoy your life also...it's the only one you get.....

Me too jimmy. well described. I reuse caths,

I wash my hands well. I had some uti’s early on. haven,t had one for ages.

if get a uti you won’t have any doubts get thy to a physician not for physic but good old abx. uti can get complicated so doc talk

Not yet, but very keen to try.

Never been cathed myself but have done it numerous times for female play patients. Sterile is the way to go and it is relatively easy to cath a woman. To cath a man would be more problematic I would imagine. A few years back a senior female nurse told me that she was allowed to cath women in her professional job but not men, a doctor had to do that. I'm not sure if that rule still applies in the NHS but possibly not as nurses seem to be trained for more advanced medical roles nowadays.

I am 43, with spina bifida. Only last August did I have to start cathing. And overall, it's gone well. However, on the 19th, I was expecting a better return, so I shoved the cath in a bit more and ended up bleeding somewhat heavily. After 10 hours in the ER, I was foleyed for about two weeks. Foleys are very annoying, but I needed it in order, apparently to salvage a pathway through the ureter because of assumed scarring.

It's been a scary time, but I'm doing well now.

I first tried it in college after reading how to do it in the library. I washed the penis well and swabbed it with Betadine solution. Next I injected some Sterilube gel into my urethra using a Luer syringe and inserted the catheter. My penis was erect and I loved the unusual feeling of the soft tube entering until, suddenly I was peeing through it. Then my girlfriend roommate started to cath me after giving me a large herbal enema which filled my colon and I had to retain for up to an hour while I masturbated her to orgasm or we made love or both. She showed me how to insert a catheter into her while she held her enema. Quick and easy.

Every day through the week, my home health nurse comes and helps me bathe. Before I bathe, she catheterize me to make sure my bladder is completely empty. I am incontinent but my bladder doesnt always empty as it should so I have to empty it like that.

I’ve been cathing for almost 14 years. I used to intermittent cath, but now use an indwelling Foley and collection bag.

I wouldn’t recommend doing it too often if you don’t have to. I get urinary tract infections fairly often, and some have required hospitalization. (Urinary sepsis almost killed me). It’s not a kind way to die.

I am very curious about catheterization, giving and receiving, I did do some caths in medical training. There are good U tube vids that I suggest everyone watch if you want to learn about sterile technique. The bladder is a sterile organ, unlike the bowel, rectum etc. so it must be a sterile technique to be sure of not getting or giving someone an infection.
