Urethral sounds are actually medical devices designed to stretch the urethra, primarily to remove obstructions or allow for the passing of kidney stones. Not very sexy, huh? Well, they can be. I have no idea who or when the first person was to decide, hey, this could be a kinky thing to do, but someone did and many find the process pleasurable. As a Dominant, the idea of violating that specific hole is a turn on. A power trip. As a bottom or sub, you either like the way it feels or you don’t. Many men find it very erotic and many have described the feeling as “being fucked from the inside”. Some say the sensation is similar to masturbation, only more intense. Others find it uncomfortable and unpleasant. It just depends on the individual.

Part of the thrill of sounds for a sub is the absolute power exchange. How more out of control can you be than to be tied down and made to watch a Dominatrix insert a steel stick into your cock? For some it is the ultimate CBT.   For others it is purely erotic. It is common to hear that the first orgasm after sounding is explosive and particularly intense. With today’s devices made specifically for BDSM play, there is something for almost everyone. The standard medical sounds themselves come in several different shapes and achieve different sensations. In addition there are silicone sounds which are flexible, vibrating sounds and even electrified sounds.

Sounds play is not for beginners and before playing with a Dominant, make sure they know their business. If done improperly, there is risk of irritation or tearing of the urethral lining. Scar tissue may be encountered that may cause discomfort or bleeding – although usually not serious, this can be alarming. There is also risk of infection if the sounds are not properly sanitized or if unsafe practices are used that allow contamination. Sounds play can be great fun for both the Domme and the sub, but it is a type of play where experience matters.
