“But, what are you saying? Are you crazy?” I don't know if you've ever heard this. I got tired of counting the times they said it to me. When you tell other guys that you enjoy inserting things into your penis, that's what many quickly, automatically, jump to say. At first, it was something that made me angry.
Nowadays, I just do as I do with all those who also say, when it comes to male anal stimulation, that "not even a shrimp's hair can enter their anus": I simply think, “they are missing out”. While there are still many prejudices surrounding male anal stimulation, there is a great lack of knowledge and misinformation regarding sounding. However, both practices respond to a reality. In the case of anal stimulation, to the fact that the male G-spot is located inside the anus. In the case of sounding, to the possibility of obtaining masturbatory pleasure through rubbing the penis not only on the outside but also on the inside.
Sounding, urethral play, or formally urethralism in Spanish, is indeed the attainment of sexual pleasure through urethral stimulation. It can occur in both men and women, although we will focus exclusively on penile sounding. Why insert objects into the penis to obtain pleasure? Contrary to what most people think, the highest number of phallic nerve endings are not located in the glans, nor in the frenulum, nor in any other external point of the penis. They are mainly concentrated in the walls of the urethra. This anatomical fact responds to a bodily need: as the urethra is one of the ducts that connect the inside of the body with the outside world, it is lined with a large number of nerve endings designed to perceive anything that could enter through such a channel. This high sensitivity is what many immediately identify with discomfort or pain.However, it does not have to be uncomfortable or painful. On the contrary, activating it in a controlled manner can lead us to enjoy intense pleasure that complements, or even surpasses, what is obtained through external penile stimulation, especially if it is so deep that it reaches the walls of the prostate. To practice sounding, you need, logically, an object to insert into the penis. There is a wide variety of items designed exclusively for this purpose. Introducing something into the urethra is a technique known since ancient times in medicine. These medical tools, originally designed for health purposes, are perfectly compatible with masturbatory use. They could form a first group, composed, in turn, of two types of elements. One would be the catheter, and the other the urethral dilator. The first would originally serve to evacuate urine from the bladder. The second, to widen the duct. Urethral dilators, made of surgical steel, encompass a large number of designs, all calibrated according to their thickness in millimeters: Dittel, Hegar, Pratt, Van Buren, and Rosebud. Outside of medical tools, a second group of items intended to be inserted into the urethra would be, precisely, urethral toys. Based on medical urethral dilators, with the gradual rise that urethral stimulation has experienced in recent years, a wide range of masturbatory tools has emerged whose purpose is to be inserted into the penis. The variety is immense, although we could differentiate two trends based on the length of the toy itself. The shorter ones, or less than 10 centimeters long, are commonly referred to as penis plugs. Those that exceed this measurement are proper urethral toys. Penis plugs are initially designed to be continuously housed in the penis. Their name, in reality, could be translated into Spanish as "plug." They usually have a ring or loop to fix them to the penile shaft. They share with the rest of urethral toys, among other things, the option of presenting various shapes in their design, offering along their length series of ridges, beads, or discs that aim, with their designs, to stimulate the nerve endings of the urethra not only through the insertion of the tool itself but also to enhance it with those bulges that will rub against the canal from the inside. It should also be noted that many of these urethral toys can appear, in addition to steel, in glass or silicone, and be hollow with the idea, in the case of penis plugs, of being able to urinate through them without the need to remove them, or to be able to ejaculate with the penis plug or the complete or semi-complete urethral toy inside the male member. A branch within urethral toys is offered by vibrators and electrostimulation devices. The former, as their name suggests, provide an additional stimulatory factor based on the vibration of the object itself. They can be, like urethral toys, made of metal or silicone, vibrating their length through a battery-powered system that remains outside the penis. An alternative is the capsule vibrator.
Connected only by a cable to the operating system, its small size and semi-independence allow it to be inserted at a greater distance than the complete vibrator, allowing us to feel that vibration, thus, at a greater depth, even in the prostate. Urethral electrostimulation, on the other hand, uses the usual stimulation system by passing small electric currents through the anatomical area to be targeted, directed in this case, through a rod inserted into the urethra, toward the urethral canal.Quite different from these are household objects. Pencils, pens, brushes, headphone cables, screwdrivers, glowsticks, chopsticks.... Anything that our imagination and desire allow us to visualize as an object suitable for insertion into the penis. However, there is a broad debate about their use. Some believe that sounding should only be done with objects designed exclusively for this technique. Others believe that household items are valid if used with extreme care. Although it is not correct to recommend them, experience indicates that household objects can be, for anyone who freely and knowingly dares, a great ally for sounding, as long as their design, compatible with urethral anatomy, and characteristics are taken into account, ensuring that they cannot break, splinter, disintegrate, are not blunt, or can pierce or injure the walls of the urethral canal. In addition to the tool for sounding, the use of lubricant is highly advisable, almost essential. While saliva or pre-ejaculate fluid can be used to lubricate the object to be inserted, it is highly recommended to use an artificial lubricant that allows us to constantly coat the toy to be used. Proper and abundant lubrication will not only facilitate the insertion itself but also the rubbing. Poor, scarce, or nonexistent lubrication can lead to pain, possible internal wounds or abrasions, and, above all, a great stinging sensation during urination following sounding. Sexual lubricants can be divided into those with a water base and those with an oil base, with silicone-based lubricants falling into the latter category. All are suitable for sounding as they are suitable for contact with the inside of the human body, although it should be noted that water-based lubricants dry very quickly, and silicone lubricants can corrode toys made of the same material. Other oily substances or body oils are completely incompatible with sounding practice as they can cause a very undesirable imbalance in the urethral pH. Ideally, however, it would be to use a lubricant that offers antibacterial properties, as this way, in addition to lubricating, we could disinfect. Proper cleaning and disinfection of the object with which to practice sounding are essential. Water, soap, gels, alcohol... Incorrect cleaning could lead to an unwanted case of cystitis or urinary infection.With our clean, disinfected, and properly lubricated toy, we are ready to start practicing sounding. Calmly, always calmly. Trying to gradually control the sensations, so that they cannot overwhelm us, and we can, on the contrary, direct them towards pleasure. Feeling the friction, experiencing the opening of the canal. First the meatus. Then, the navicular fossa. Once past this, the rest of the canal. A small gauge is most recommended to start, until we discover how much the urethra can dilate. Once we are familiar with the technique, we can try to insert thicker objects, according to our anatomical possibilities and preferences. While some players prefer to insert the object as deep as possible, with the natural maximum limit set in the bladder, others opt for the progressive dilation or widening of the urethral canal. In this case, three factors come into play to achieve the desired gauge: patience, consistency, and anatomical/genetic predisposition. Gradually practicing, constantly, trying to increase the gauge when we have surpassed a measure, is advisable, always without haste, without force, and bearing in mind that our urethra may, at some point, reach its limit. We can also play with the insertion of two dilators, or three. Some even manage to insert four, or more. There are even those who can fit a finger. In these alternatives, something more than the mere masturbatory practice itself plays a fundamental role: the excitement that sounding generates in many of its practitioners. In addition to the pleasure provided by the stimulation itself, there is the thrill derived from watching an object enter the penis, rubbing it from the inside, marking it on the outside, until it disappears inside our penis, as if the cock, hungry, wanted to swallow it. There is the thrill of feeling that, through sounding, we are fucking the cock. That the meatus, or the little slit, is a kind of pussy, or a door to the most intimate part of a man, ready for us to explore inside. There is also the option of repeatedly inserting and removing the object, with more energy, with more speed, as if we were really fucking it. We can also leave it inserted and masturbate, with the sensation of jerking off a impaled cock. If there are several players instead of one, the possibilities of sounding play multiply. We can sound and be sounded. We can share the toy we play with, even, through a double sounding in which each of the penises is respectively inserted by each end of the toy, the cocks come together, kiss, while the same tool is penetrating, fucking, both urethras at the same time. Then there is the world of BDSM, and the use of sounding as a method to subdue our slave through their urethra. Sounding can even be used in conjunction with chastity cages, but that's delving into a separate world. For now, we stick with the fabulous art of inserting things into the penis. Are you ready to discover it? Welcome to it!
