I have questions about Catherization

I have read a few posts on here, about people using catheters, and I have to say I am a little curious.

I have never had one, how does one get into this genre? Did you get cath's in a hostpital one time and were hooked, or was it the same as it is for me, where you read about it, seen some videos maybe, and thought, hey that sounds like it could be interesting, let's give it a try?

So since I have never had one, I have a few questions, for those "who are in the know"...

- how did it get started for you?

- how hard is it to give yourself one the first time?

- what does it feel like when you're no longer in control of your own bladder?

- how hard is it to find "supplies" at local stores versus online (I am in the metro-Detroit area in Michigan).

- is it painful?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Before going further more, keep in mind that playing with catheters is not risk free!

For me, the first time I got one was at hospital. I can't remember if it was a great time, but it seems that was the start for me.

I'd been teach on how to use it at home, so have some good ways on how to do it the more safely.

Since 6 month I'm cathed almost all the time, and I really like the feeling, never had any urge to go is the better one.

A cath will not be painful. If it is, then something going wrong, and it's time to stop and to check a professional.

By searching a bit around here, you'll find a lots of reading, pro and cons...

Take care and be safe!

If you check the online sites you can find cath kits, sterile and ready for use. You might do better to try some sounds first to get the feeling of something entering your urethra, that will probably result in an orgasm with some help.

- How did it get started for you?

Following an accident, woke up in hospital with one & have had one ever since.

- How hard is it to give yourself one the first time?

For me very hard but only because of my own misgivings, the process is simple with the right advice. This is something you should really be shown & not learnt by yourself. I cannot stress how important it is to learn sterile technique.

- What does it feel like when you're no longer in control of your own bladder?

I’m unable to answer this one I’m sure some else will.

- How hard is it to find "supplies" at local stores versus online?

Very easy online & I believe even easier in store in most parts of the USA (Search this site many posts about it)

- is it painful?

No & if it is something is wrong, uncomfortable yes even unpleasant for some but it should not be painful if done correctly.

What I know –

It’s not for everyone.

The many people who I have catheterized & the many more I know who play in this area all find it to be very exciting, arousing & erotic.

Thanks for the input guys. I will look around town to see if I can't find any supplies.

And storyguy thanks for the advice to try sounding fisrt. I will stop at one of my local fun stores to see what they have and give it a shot. I would assume that if sounding just isn't for me that cath play wouldn't be either right, or are they mutually exclusive of one another?

Allegromedical.com is a well equiped supploer for all cath needs!

“I would assume that if sounding just isn't for me that cath play wouldn't be either”

Sounding is very different to a cath entering the bladder but you need to know that you can tolerate something entering the urethra or there’s little point in cathing.

Interesting points. I've never tried it but always thought about it. Thanks for the discussion!

Try ebay and amazon too. I've bought self contained kits by the case with the cath, bag, gloves etc...everything necessary to do a sterile cath procedure. Make sure your play nurse or doc goes slow and keeps sterile and you'll be fine.
