Fetish Of The Day: Cock-Stuffing
Cock-stuffing, or urethral play, is the act of inserting an object into the urethra to achieve sexual stimulation or to accomplish power play. This type of play is largely associated with the BDSM community but can be done by anyone, even without assistance. One commonly practiced method used by cock-stuffers is “sounding.” Sounding got its name by the use of inserting surgical steel rods, called sounds, in the urethra. Metal sounds are the most recommended materials to use because they don’t have a risk of breaking during use and can be easier to clean than other materials. Sounders enjoy the sensations from the rods being inserted in the penis and many enjoy it in the S&M community. Sounds can be straight or curved into a J-rod shape. The curved sounds can make obtaining an erection difficult and they are often locked into place so the submissive cannot get an erection. During insertion of the sound, if the person the sound is being inserted into starts to gain an erection, the person inserting the sound must wait before continuing or could cause damage to the penis.
Some sounders insert the rods for different reasons. Some sounds can aid in prostate play. Another use is urethral stretching which can be obtained through sounding. It’s sort of like gauging your ears, but with your penis, and like gauging it is temporary. Urethral stretching is also done in the medical community to retrieve something that could be obstructing the urethral canal. Sometimes urethral sounding is done to achieve accessibility for penile piercings.
Catheters are also a means of play used by some in the S & M community. Unlike the short stature of sounds, catheters reach down into the bladder. This prevents the submissive from being able to control his bladder functions as the catheter releases his urine.
The use of numbing agents alongside urethral play is strongly discouraged. Risk of injury is very high when using numbing agents. When the penis is numb, a person cannot feel any discomfort involved which also means they may continue to push against the unit and cause damage. This can indeed cause a trip to the doctor’s office. Inserting anything into the penis will most likely be discouraged by doctors because of the amount of risks associated with it. Playing safe and using lube on a sterilized sound will help reduce the risks of infection, but it will not make them disappear.
