I know and have given the lecture on cleanliness, so I'll move on.
My interest has been for erotic pleasure and exploration and not stretching or other more extreme activities. I started conservatively with a .125" wide 3.5" glass thermometer. Yes, I know about glass, but they are tempered glass used for decades on babies before digital replaced them. There was a certain about of pleasure at first but since it did not get to the base of my cock, it was pretty limited.
Then I went to a longer (5.5"), wider tempered glass veterinary thermometer which still didn't reach very far but, since it is inserted while un-erect and I am rather short, then), it gave more sensation inside although the real pleasure came from rolling it, where its triangular shape rubbed my insides the full length of my cock, which could feel quite good. But this was still play and not invigorating as I wanted.
I looked at sounds and found the Sims to be good. Its plenty long enough and 1/8" wide max, so with water base lube, it inserts easily. It has a slightly enlarged 3/16" spherical end which reduces the chance of being poked, but can be uncomfortable on the way out when erect.
Now I use a varnished wood artists paintbrush handle tapered from 1/8" to 3/16", which has an insertable length of 11 inches to the metal collar. That is more than enough to reach the bladder if I ever wanted to and to easily hold it in use. It has a hemispherical end, so poking is less of a problem.
The greatest pleasure seems to be when the tip of the handle reaches the prostate area. Its completely different from external stimulation and the reaction I get in hardness and precum production seems out of proportion to the feeling I get from the prostate. "Fucking" the handle right at that point builds tension very fast, like some automatic reaction requiring little effort has taken over, and orgasm quickly becomes inevitable.
When the first contraction...the "precum-shot" comes a second or two before the "series cumshot", I extract the handle quickly which feels like it pulls the cumshot behind it, enhancing the sensation. No semen is expelled at first because it is filling the void left by removing the handle. But in the end, this sound-masturbation results in more intense contractions than by jacking and a greater volume of semen.
I have envisioned a masturbation tool which would consist of a (not too) flexible tube connected to a pumping device that would alternately inflate (perhaps another overall 1/8") and then release the pressure as a form of internal vibration that is not buzzing. This, along with an in and out motion could be really invigorating.
