Urethral sounding involves inserting a toy into the urethra — the tube that drains urine out of the bladder.
This practice actually started as a medical procedure to clear obstructions from the urethra.
And when done safely and properly, it can be a satisfying form of sexual play.
Intrigued? Read on to learn more about why it’s done, what objects are used, and (most importantly) how to do it safely.
The genitals are dense with nerves.
The urethra passes by particularly sensitive areas in the penis head (glans), the clitoris, and the G spot . Sounding stimulates these nerves directly.
A sounding toy can also directly stimulate the prostate if it’s inserted deeply enough.
And it’s taboo! Sounding can be exciting purely because it’s new and different to you, as well as somewhat risky and non-traditional.
There aren’t any health benefits to sounding itself, per se.
But sounding could provide sexual fulfillment, which may help you feel happier and even less anxious or depressed about your sex life.
And if you connect with other practitioners through online forums or workshops, you may find that being a part of a community can have a positive impact on your practice and overall sense of self.
Whether it feels good or not is entirely subjective.
Your sexual tastes, sensitivity to pain, and openness to experiencing it can all affect how it feels for you.
It may feel strange at first, like you have to pee or that something’s scraping the inside of your urethra.
But once you learn what toys and techniques work for you, it may feel increasingly pleasurable.
Yes! But only if you do it properly.
The size of your urethra won’t be affected if you only practice sounding every once in a while.
But if you practice regularly — think weekly — and use increasingly larger or more textured toys, your urethra may begin to stretch out. For some, this is part of the fun!
If you plan to do this, take your time and be careful not to stretch it to the point that it hurts or causes other discomfort.
Safe sounding has no long-term effects on how you urinate.
It may sting when you pee after a sounding session, but this is usually temporary.
The only real risks come from injury from using toys that are too big or being too rough when the toy’s inserted.
There are a few major risks to consider before trying this practice out:
You shouldn’t try sounding if you have:
Here are some things to keep in mind while you’re choosing a toy.
Most plugs or sounders are made of:
Titanium sounders are easier to insert and heavy enough to slide in on their own, but are inflexible.
Silicone sounders are flexible and softer, but may be hard to slide in because of their textured surface.
Sounders range anywhere from half an inch to as long as you can imagine, up to about a foot in length or sometimes more.
The most common length is between 3 and 6 inches.
Girth is measured in millimeters. Choose a small one if you’re just starting out, and gradually increase the size by small increments.
Most sounders are long and thin. Some are completely straight. Others curve slightly or have bulges in the middle or at the ends.
If you have a penis, some can wrap around your glans like a hoop with a ball attached that goes into the urethral opening.
There’s a wide variety of textures, including:
Here’s our step-by-step guide to sounding safely.
Sterilize toys in boiling water or a betadine solution before you use them.
Use gentle, unscented soap and warm water to wash your hands and your outer genital areas.
After you feel comfortable with how far it’s in, try moving it a few directions to see what feels best and what nerve endings you can stimulate. Try to gently pull it in and out, too.
You can also gently massage your genital area to add some extra pleasure. And of course, you or a partner can put lips on the sounding device and hum to vibrate the inside of the urethra.
Urethral sounding is a safe practice as long as you take the proper precautions.
There are a lot of muscles in the urethra meant to help push pee out of the bladder. You won’t be able to get the instrument in the urethra without a lot of lube to help the instrument glide in and out.
Don’t use a lube with a numbing agent. This could decrease both the pain and pleasure you feel, which can be dangerous — feeling discomfort is the only way you’ll know to stop or adjust what you’re doing.
Pull the toy out and stop right away if you notice:
Take the following into consideration, too:
Here are some tips to help remove a toy that may have gotten stuck or gone too deep:
Sounding can be a fun way to switch up your sex life.
But it’s not for everybody, and it needs to be done with the consent of everyone involved.
Make sure you take the proper precautions, choose the right toy for you, and experiment until you find the technique that you like best.

You might see pain, but some guys see pleasure.
We all have our kinks. Some are relatively mild (say, foot fetishes ) whereas some are more extreme (say, blood play ). Sounding—specifically, urethral sounding—definitely falls on the more extreme end of the spectrum.
Urethral sounding involves inserting a sound—a long, thin rod, typically made of surgical steel—into your urethral opening. Yes, we're talking about the pee hole. Sounding isn’t actually exclusive to penis-owners; people with vaginas can experience sounding, however, the technique is different since (obviously) penises and vaginas are shaped differently. Nevertheless, the sounding kink seems to be more popular among penis-owners.
According to Healthline , sounding began as a medical procedure to clear blockages in the urethra. Today, urologists will still “sound” a patient if they have a urethral stricture (a blockage or closing of the urethra).
In a sexual or kink setting, men aren’t getting sounded to open up blockage. They’re getting sounded because it feels good. The urethra actually has a lot of nerve endings that can amount in intense pleasure when stimulated properly. If the sound goes deep enough, it can even stimulate the prostate , which is commonly referred to as the "P-spot" or "male G-spot" . That's when it reportedly feels really good. (In case your male anatomy knowledge needs a refresher, the urethra crosses through the prostate gland on its way to the bladder. This area is called the prostatic urethra .)
There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to sounding. “Most people think that it’s painful, but it’s not—if you know what you’re doing,” explains Cory B ., kink coach and sex educator who’s sounded men about 10 times. “It doesn’t have to be something that’s masochistic or necessarily ‘kinky’ either, and I’ve actually done some really tender sounding scenes.” (In a kink setting, a "scene" is any sexual activity where all parties have discussed prior what they want and don't want to do.)
There are, of course, some risks to sounding , including bacterial infection if the rod isn't properly sterilized. Other dangers including tearing or even puncturing the tissue in your urethra, which can cause permanent damage. (A sound made from shatterproof material is a must. Check out the video resources on kinkacademy.com to learn more about sounding-related safety.)
We reached out to a few men who are into sounding to gain a better understanding of how a guy finds himself inserting a rod into his penis—along with how, exactly, this foreign sensation feels.
Tony: To be honest, I’m not really sure where I first heard about sounding. Being into BDSM and fetish since my mid-teens, that was the porn that I gravitated to, so it was probably on a website somewhere.
Alex: I got into kink about six years ago. Started slow and relatively "vanilla" until about three years ago, when things started to escalate, but there was an increasingly long list of activities that made absolutely no sense to me. Sounding was one of them.
Tony: I’ve always been very interested in experiencing different fetishes and sexual activities. It was something I had seen; it looked interesting so I wanted to try it. I had just done a scene with a dominatrix named Mz. Berlin. I knew that she had quite a bit of experience with sounding, so after the scene, I asked her if she would be willing to sound me, and she said yes.
Alex: I'm currently owned by a dominatrix [meaning Alex is a submissive in a BDSM relationship where he has to do whatever his owner, a dominatrix, asks of him]. One day we were discussing what our next session should include, and I told her that she should do whatever she loves. She said, "I love to sound men." I looked it up. I was as horrified when I Googled it.
Jacques: The first time I was sounded by my wife—the woman we were playing with showed her how. I was blindfolded because they say seeing it can shock some men, but now I prefer to watch.
Tony: No. Berlin was a very experienced player. I knew that she knew what she was doing, and we were just doing it after our scene, so everything felt very casual and relaxed.
Alex: You bet your ass I was afraid. I wasn't afraid of the sensation, as much as I was afraid that I would do some permanent damage.
Jacques: I was quite scared at first.
Tony: I like the intimacy of it. I like the expression on a woman’s face the first time she sees my cock swallow a shiny steel rod. And I like the challenge of it—how big can I go?
Alex: Nothing in particular about the actual sensation. It’s actually pretty mellow and subtle compared to other sensations. It felt itchy to me when it was hooked up to the TENS [an electrical nerve stimulation unit]. In terms of the psychological experience, I like giving myself to my domme. I like the role reversal of her fucking me. She's sticking something in me instead of me putting my penis in her.
Jacques: I love the sensation inside the urethra. These nerves never get touched and it feels like a soft orgasmic buzzing deep inside. If it hits the prostate, it is especially pleasurable, and I orgasm from it. No ejaculation though. I also love the attention on my cock.
Tony: Done right it feels like what I imagine fucking feels like to a woman—feeling the shaft go in and out.
Alex: For me, it's not that intense a physical sensation. Not sure if other people experience it differently. It's a bit like having your penis stroked, but only from the inside.
Jacques: It’s not painful, but weirdly pleasurable. Some tips though: Don’t panic once it’s inside, even if you’re freaked out. Stay calm and do everything slowly.
Tony: Don’t be afraid of it. If it’s something that you would like to try, go for it! Find a professional dominatrix or a player who is experienced in it and experience it for yourself. Most of all, have fun with it!
Alex: Part of BDSM for me is seeking wild sensations that will stop the overly-analytical part of my mind from over-thinking. I'm searching for the kink-equivalent of a "zen slap." One of the highest goals for a submissive is to enter "sub-space," where you exist without an ego, and are present in the moment entirely. It's fabulous. It's spiritual. It's transcendent. Sounding is one possible contributor to achieving sub-space.

The pursuit of sexual satisfaction has led to an emerging practice among men known as urethral sounding. This practice involves inserting a glass or metal object or fluid into the urethra . The aim is to enhance sexual pleasure by encouraging your partner to explore your penis in several ways. But health specialists have seen an increase in cases of urethral infections, complaints, and sexual function issues as the practice becomes mainstream.
Medically, urethral sounding refers to inserting an object into the urethra for urological surgery . The process helps to dilate the strictures to provide access to the bladder. Medical experts use sterile metal or plastic dilators in the process. Usually, the procedure helps in removing a retained foreign body within the urethra and bladder. ‌
Beyond the scope of medical practice, urethral sounding is common among individuals for a variety of reasons. It encompasses a sexual habit to heighten sexual pleasure and arousal. According to medical literature, there's a high risk of injury associated with the practice. The sounding devices can disappear deep into the urethra and no longer be retrieved by the user.
When you insert objects into your urethra, you run the risk of injury and could bring a variety of psychological illnesses upon yourself. Research shows that the practice is becoming widespread, with Google producing more than 5,550 results for the search phrase “urethral sounding.” Most of these come back with complete instructions and diagrams for the recreational procedure. ‌
Injury. There’s variability in the techniques and types of tools people use in recreational urethral sounding. This puts them at risk for urinary tract infections (UTIs), urethral strictures, loss of the foreign body, and healthcare expenditures.
Ordinary household objects people use for this purpose include:
Most who end up in the hospital complain of their inability to remove the objects after becoming lodged in their genital cavities. Fortunately, the simple act of seeking medical attention in good time reduces the risk of developing significant complications, especially in individuals without mental health disorders . Concerning complications, they include:
Unfortunately, some repeatedly injure themselves for sexual gratification, much to the frustration of their healthcare providers. ‌
Psychiatric disorders. Differentiating between individuals with known psychiatric histories and those without is essential. This is because of the forensic implications of the self-introduction of foreign bodies into the urinary tract. The habit could potentially be due to self-destructive behaviors in an individual. If these behaviors aren't recognized in a clinical setting and a person self-inflicts injury or commits suicide , problems could follow for the clinician, becoming a case of negligent clinical care.
Whether clinicians should perform a psychiatric test on all individuals who come to the emergency room for failed urethral sounding is still controversial. ‌
Much of the literature available on urethral sounding refers to case reports of individuals who experienced harm from the practice. There's little evidence about the prevalence of the habit in the general population. Still, it could be at 11%, according to a 2012 report. It's also unknown whether this sexual practice poses any additional health risks beyond the injury that requires immediate medical intervention. An in-depth understanding of prevalent, risk-taking behaviors among people who engage in the practice, though, would help further existing research. ‌
One documented case is of a middle-aged man who reported to the emergency department with a telephone wire stuck in his bladder. This was after he introduced it through his urethra, intending to gratify himself through masturbation. His case required open surgery, unlike in most cases where foreign body extractions are done through endoscopy. The man's healthcare providers found no evidence of a psychological disorder in him. ‌
Urethral Strictures. Inserting foreign objects in the urethra blocks the productive flow of urine. This leads to other complications like:
In most cases, medical experts will investigate the penis and urethral tube and recommend surgical correction. In extreme cases, implants will be necessary to alleviate pain and pressure and return the penis to its previous abilities.
Men who are interested in urethral sounding for sexual gratification should first understand the issues around it. Introducing objects into this sensitive passageway poses a health risk. They should purchase the items they use from reputable businesses only and embrace proper cleaning practices of those foreign bodies. They also should use lubrications specially designed for sensitive areas.
