Urethra, the final frontier! As soon as boys discover their penis, they never leave it alone. And while jerking off can give you hours of fun, sometimes it's fun to spice it up and add some kink to your jerk sessions. After you've tried cock rings, pumps, weights, stretchers, and plenty of other cock and ball play kinks, there is only one last frontier to explore. Urethral sounding!
Urethral sounding is the practice of inserting metal or silicone rods or toys into the urethral opening of your penis. Normally, when you jerk off, you're massaging the outside of your penis. Sounding allows you to massage your penis from the inside, with the added bonus (with practice, we'll discuss later) of stimulating your prostate! If you really get into sounding and want to take it a step further, you can look into catheters, but that's a whole other topic that we're not going to cover right now. Right now, we're going to stop at the prostate.
To get technical, the urethra is the tube that comes out of your bladder, through the middle of your prostate, down the length of your penis and out. That's what makes sounding so fun and pleasurable; you can't miss the prostate! As with all sexual encounters, give yourself enthusiastic consent to explore your penis and kinks, and let's get sounding!
Sounding really only requires 3 things: Your penis, sounding rods, and lube.
Sounding rods could possibly be found at your local adult store, especially if they have a fetish section, but can be found most easily online. Start simple and work your way up to larger sizes or textures if you enjoy your experiences. The best option for most beginners is to get a kit of stainless-steel sounding rods with multiple sizes to choose from (like these ones) This way, you don't have to guess what size will work or fit or scare you off your journey! Plus, if you enjoy yourself, you already have additional sizes to try out!
Because you are inserting something inside your body, a sterile lubricant is highly recommended. While anal sex is *technically* inserting something inside your body, the urethra leads to your bladder and could cause infection if you're not careful. Sterile lubricants can be found easily online as well. Most of the websites that sell sounding rods and toys will carry sterile lubricants in either tubes or single-use packets. We recommend getting packets because you don't have to worry about them getting contaminated in between sounding sessions.
There are a ton of options online for different shapes, lengths, circumferences, textures, materials, functions, etc. The world of kink is as wide and varied as your own imagination. Don't be intimidated by all the options online. This is your self-exploration kink journey! So, get your journey started and see where the rod leads you.
Shopping done, Let's get to sounding.
Tools for the main event:
Penis
Sounding rods
Sterile lubricant
Latex/poly gloves (optional)
Towel/cum rag
Porn for inspiration
When getting yourself set up, remember that you're going to have multiple pieces around you, so make sure you set up in a space that gives you room to spread out and be comfortable, but keep everything within reach. When using sounding rods, more lube is better, so lay down a towel to catch excess lube and, if everything goes to plan, your cummy reward!
Now that you have your space set, let's prepare the sounds themselves. Because you're going to be inserting a steel rod into your urethra, we recommend always boiling the rods before use. Bring some water to a boil in a pan and drop the rods into the water for a few seconds to make sure they are extra clean. After boiling them, pour off the water and let them cool on a clean towel or paper towel. And with that, you're ready to get to work!
Set your sounds out next to where you plan to explore. Set your mood lighting. Get your inspirational porn going. Open a few packets of lube and set them next to your sounds. If you choose to wear gloves, glove up and get comfy.
Once you're comfy and all of your tools are at hand, get inspired! Sounding can be done while you're soft, but it's easier to do when you're hard. You don't have to be completely bricked up, but a nice firm dick makes it easier to control. Once you're good and firm, (retract your foreskin, if necessary/lucky*) put some lube on the tip of your dick, right on your urethra. Hold your dick gently with your non-dominant hand. Select the sounding rod that you feel comfortable starting with, rub the tip of the sound into the lube to get it started on the sound, then relax and place the tip of the sound into your urethra. DO NOT PUSH! Let the weight of the sound do the work at first. Lube+steel+gravity = plenty of penetration for the first time. Take your time and let your body relax.
Once you have the sound inserted to where you're comfortable, start experimenting, stroke your dick with the rod inserted, and pull the sound in and out of your urethra. Add lube if necessary. Generosity is key! Start to gently push the sound further into your penis. Eventually, you will feel the sound stop once it hits your prostate. Don't push too hard, just gently massage your penis and the sound. Reminder, in a seated position, your urethra is shaped like a 'U'. Your bladder sits above your pelvic bone and below your belly button, so unless you're using a silicone sound, the metal sounding rod is not going to make that u-turn.
Incorporate any of your usual masturbation go-to's with your new experience. Play with your balls, play with your nipples, hit some poppers, and explore your new toys! Don't be afraid to add more lube.
Tldr: Sounding feels good. Sounding rods go in your urethra. Get a kit of sounding rods for variety. Use lots of sterile lube to ease it in. Let gravity do the work. Get to stroking, and cum everywhere.
