Curious about sounds and catheters

While investigating some sites with enema equipment I came across a very interesting toy called a sound, it is for use by a male and used for insertion into the male urethra. So if any of you men out there have used one would love to know how if feels and if you liked it. Owl

I have used sounds in the past.... the feeling of it sliding down my uthrea is very pleasant. I also have used a catheter... the feeling of that passing thru my prostate was very very pleasant

My sub inserts his sound into his cock. I do not feel that secure in doing it to him. But there is the element of my watching him do it to himself as I directed him to do that is arousing. Thinking of which maybe that should be a part of tonights fun, since we haven't played with it for awhile.

I have used sounds on several occasions. It felt really strange the first time-kind of a burning sensation. After I got used to it, it felt really great. Must be sterile and use lots of lube.

Iv not used sounds as part of my sex play but I used to see them used alot when I worked in surgery. Looks very interesting and it is amazing how wide the urethra cam expand with the use of sounds which is why they are used medicaly.

I love sounding, unfortunately, I have to do it myself.

Feels very erotic & tends to make for a great big orgasm afterwards/ or during 😜

Of course, if it hurts, stop. Though pain can be turned into pleasure.

Most guys can start with about a 14-16 Fr catheter. Don't start too big or you will risk irritation and injury. The size of your urethra is NOT necessarily related to how big your penis is. You can always get a bigger catheter if you want. Start on the smaller side.

In the hospital, for a clean urine sample, they will generally start with a 14Fr straight cath. For a retention catheter, most hospital protocols (but it ultimately depends on the Doctor's Orders) will use a 16Fr 5cc foley.

For cath play, especially if you plan on retaining the foley for anything more than a couple of hours, the bigger French sizes seem to be more comfortable for me around my pee hole. My standard size is 24Fr for extended wear.

. . . and you probably started smaller and worked up to that size.

24Fr for most men will be VERY uncomfortable or painful and would likely cause bleeding.

Switchable,

You're right, I started with the standard 16Fr but tended to 'crust' and get caught between my slit. I find that the 22-24Fr sizes sufficiently push the my pee hole open that both crusting and pressure at the 6 and 12 o'clock sides of the hole are minimized...the catheter is pressing evenly in 360 degrees. Lubrication is a necessity, and 'if it don't feel right, don't do it'. Hey, I had a cystoscopopy done once in a urologist's office...I knew it was an invasive scope, but had no idea about the size of the thing...I freaked and got cold and sweaty ...even in the 'lith' position. The doc and nurse weren't especially the 'go slow' types either. Any idea what the Fr-equivalent sizing is of a cystoscope?

I don't know what size it was, but I have had a catheter in for a while, and I had the strangest sensation! I could tighten around the catheter, and after a while relax, and it was the freakiest thing! I am not even sure just how to describe it. Has anyone here ever experienced that? I would dearly like to duplicate that sensation, believe me!!!

I had a partner for a time who just adored medical play. While I wasn't too keen on it initially, I found that I LOVED it.

Of course, this type of play must be done carefully in a sterile manner with a solid understanding of anatomy...be it male or female. I've had my most intense orgasm playing with sounds and a full bladder.....hot, hot, hot.

With catheter play, even if you do everyhting correctly, you will probably still get a UTI.

Back in 1990 when I had my bone marrow transplant they inserted a catheter before they nuked me. I was hevily sedated and three drop dead gorgeous nurses came in and prepared me. I was in and out of it but distinctly felt three insertions, not sure if they used a sound or not as they numbed the old boy up first.Still it felt good and remember one of the nurses commenting on my subsequent arousal while half drugged up.

Owl,

Welcome to the community ! Sounds are not exclusive to just men, they are a device that can be used by either gender. They key is sterility,size,lubrication and patience. Make sure the sound is sterile, ensure the size is not too large or it will hurt, use lots of sterile lubrication and go slow...slow...slow and you will have lots of sexually erotic fun 😃

I've noticed that several have suggested using some sort of numbing agent to prevent discomfort. Personally, I would recommend against that, especially the first few times. Pain/discomfort is the way our body tells us something is wrong. Until you get the feel of how to insert a sound or cath, you need all the feedback you can get.

As others have said, go slow, use lots of lube. I find that the feeling as the device is worked in isn't painful if done properly.

I already mentioned that I have never used sounds, but want to some day. I have been cathed in the hospital a couple of times, once wide awake. The nurse was quick and none to gentle. I was in so much pain from my surgery and not being able to pee that I just wanted over with quick. I do wish to try it again under more pleasant circumstances.

Cath play really doesn't hurt at all. Perhaps a very slight sting as the cath is inserted, but not much at all. At least, that's the way it was with me.

As an 83 year old guy, I have to do self cathrtization 3 times a day. As stated it really doesn't hurt but sometimes it stings a little as the catheter is withdrawn. I use a new 14 fr catheter each time which helps prevent bladder infection. Once it becomes a medical necessity the fun goes away and becomes a pain in the prick.

I have done self cath a lot. Also have had to be cath a few times in the hospital. It's not the same feeling. It's a strange feeling waking up and feeling a cath in you. I use cath when I take enemas so I don't have to go up and pee. It also keeps the bladder empty during taking enemas and holding it.

Sounds are great, always start out small then increase in size to what you can take..the bigger ones are a bit tougher and still trying them out...just love the feeling it gives you

I have to do self-cath several times a day. I use a 14 ft and while I don't think it is a lot of fun it really doesn't hurt. But you must be very carefull to keep things as sterile as possible.

I do agree that the larger size Foley is much more comfortable than the smallersizes. I use 24 fr and have had to have them in for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. I use Neosporen to keep the end of the penis lubricated and to help prevent infection

You really have to be careful to keep anything you insert into your penis as sterile as possible to prevent bladder infection.

Catheter play is definitely a more advanced style of play and requires some specific knowledge and common-sense. However, different people enjoy different parts of the playing. Some enjoy the gyno play, while others get excited by having control of their urination taken away from them. Others (including some females) enjoy the feeling of something solid in their urethra.

I would have to agree that this is a bad idea unless you really know what you are doing and have the right equipment. A UTI is no fun and if you needed to explain to a real doctor what caused it, that would also not be a good thing. I think that I would claim that I have no idea what caused it.

If someone is into this, they need to drink a lot of extra water afterwards to really flush the system and make it more difficult for a UTI to get started.

Caution! use only sterile tools, men take more pleasure then women due prostate. Be careful take help from expert.

L.K.

I love the feeling i get during the play but the burning afterwards KILLS me - it doesn't matter hw much lubrication i use

No matter what i do, there still is a little burning feeling, although it's not as bad as it was the first few times i've started using the a cath. make sure you drink a lot of water and void ASAP after removing your cath.

To lubricate the urethra in a woman, you just need to place a blob on the urethral meatus and coat the first couple of inches on the catheter before insertion. In a man, the best lubrication comes from taking KY and squeezing about 2-3 cc directly out of the tube into a syringe. Then, use the syringe WITHOUT THE NEEDLE and inject the KY into the urethra. This gives a good amount of lubrication deep in the urethra and also serves to slightly expand the urethra for passage of the catheter. Then place a small blob on the end of the penis and coat the first few inches of the catheter. Then insert it. The lubricant deep inside the urethra, ahead of the catheter makes for a smooth insertion.

Switchablesusie, you are right. It feels really good and intense if it's done right. I love your open mindedness about these kinds of things!

One comment I'd like to make is to suggest that it is best not to use a tube of KY. KY for these purposes is available in individual foil packets that are sterile... use once and throw away. Once you open a tube of KY, it's no longer sterile for subsequent uses.

Deke--The individual foil packs (3cc) are a good idea. It does insure a sterile dose of lubricant every time. Getting a sterile dose from a tube requires sterile technique, and suffice it to say, most people are just going to squeeze the stuff out of the tube and touch the tube with their fingers.
