Sounding

The finest pain and humiliation, delivered with great care and attention: it's a hallmark of the BDSM scene. The top bears great responsibility for the sub's welfare, and goes to great lengths to keep him/her/it safe from unintended injury.

Sounding is a good example of this: the insertion of the sound, usually a metal rod, into the urethra, has the potential to go horribly wrong. Inside the penis is probably not a good place to pick up an injury or an infection. Inside the penis, there's no natural lubrication, just easily damaged flesh and blood vessels. If the sub is to enjoy this treatment, therefore, he needs to be able to trust in the professionalism of the domme.

After the precautions to ward off infection have been taken, the pleasure can begin: feeling the sound find its way into the shaft, trying to use the biggest possible sound, going in as deep as possible, perhaps feeling it move around way down inside there between one's legs. I have read that that can be an orgasmic feeling, though I've yet to experience it so intensely: more practice is obviously needed!

And then there are other fun things to do: attaching the sound to electric current, or putting some stimulating ointment on the metal – that adds wonderful sensations inside the glans (but be careful - if it's too much to bear, the ointment won't go away easily).

 

Other things I would like to try are having e-stim through a sound which reaches through my prostate, whilst the other electrode is in my rectum on the other side of the gland. Or rough sounds which irritate the urethra more. And of course there is catheter play - I once saw a video in which the sub's bladder was emptied and then filled with the domme's piss through the catheter... A tempting idea I would love to try, but as with so many tempting ideas, I'm not sure how safe and sane it is.

 

Another great thing about sounding is the aftermath: you are reminded of the session for another day or two when you pee – it hurts. The first time, I was concerned about this, because I hadn’t known it would happen, but nowadays I look forward to it as a nice take-away from the session - "BDSM to go".
