Urethral Sounds
Urethral sounds are thin, smooth rods that insert into the urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder. They create internal pressure and stimulation that many men find intensely pleasurable. The urethra contains sensitive nerve endings, and the unique sensation of fullness differs entirely from external stroking. Men use sounds for solo masturbation or during partnered sex, often combining them with other stimulation.

Why Choose Urethral Sounds
- Unique Internal Sensation: Sounds deliver stimulation inside the urethra, creating pressure and fullness that external toys cannot replicate. This concentrated internal sensation often produces intense, different orgasms than standard masturbation.
- Hands-Free Pleasure: Once inserted, a sound stays in place without gripping, freeing both hands for stroking the shaft or other activities. This makes them ideal for extended sessions or partnered play.
- Material Durability: Stainless steel and glass resist degradation, never need replacement, and withstand firm cleaning. These materials also conduct temperature—warm water makes them feel different during use.
Types of Urethral Sounds
Straight Sounds
Simple, straight rods with smooth tapered tips for easy insertion. Straight sounds slide directly down the urethra with minimal resistance. They work well for beginners because there's no curve to navigate. Penis plugs offer similar internal stimulation with a different shape profile.
Curved Sounds
Gently curved rods that follow the natural angle of the urethra and curve of the penis. The curve applies pressure to the upper wall of the urethra and sometimes the prostate area indirectly. Experienced users often prefer curved sounds for targeted stimulation and deeper insertion.
Ribbed and Textured Sounds
Rods with ridges, rings, or grooves along the shaft that create additional texture during insertion and withdrawal. The ridges catch slightly against the urethra walls, increasing sensation. Some men find textured sounds intensify pleasure, while others prefer smooth gliding.
Graduated Sound Sets
Multiple sounds in increasing diameters, allowing gradual stretching and progression. Starting with smaller diameters and working up to larger ones over time trains the urethra to accept deeper or thicker sounds. Sets typically range from 3mm to 8mm diameter.
Penis Plugs
Shorter, wider urethral inserts that sit primarily at the urethral opening rather than deep insertion. Penis plugs create intense stimulation at the most sensitive part of the urethra. They often have decorative bases or glans rings for visual appeal and easier handling.

Who Buys Urethral Sounds
Men seeking new sensations: Urethral play targets nerve endings that standard masturbation doesn't reach. Men who've explored other toys but want something completely different find sounds deliver a unique, intense experience that can lead to very different orgasms.
Men in chastity or power exchange: In relationships where one partner controls the other's orgasms, sounds provide sensation and pleasure within strict boundaries. A dominant partner may insert a sound before locking their partner in a cage, adding layers of sensation and control.
Choosing Urethral Sounds
- Start with smaller diameters: The urethra is delicate. Begin with 4mm or smaller sounds to let the opening adjust. Larger sounds (6–8mm) feel different and more intense but require previous experience.
- Material matters for sensation: Stainless steel is cool and firm; borosilicate glass conducts temperature and feels smoother. Metal provides structure, glass offers visual appeal. Choose based on sensory preference.
- Length affects depth: Shorter sounds (4–5 inches) sit mostly visible outside the body; longer ones (7–8 inches) insert deeper. Decide whether you want shallow surface stimulation or deep internal pressure.
- Straight versus curved: Straight sounds are forgiving and beginner-friendly; curved sounds require better positioning but provide targeted pressure. Try straight first, graduate to curved after experience.
- Texture preference: Smooth sounds slide effortlessly; ribbed sounds catch slightly for more sensation. Smooth suits longer sessions; ribbed suits shorter intense experiences.
Looking After Your Urethral Sounds
Urethral sounds must be impeccably clean before insertion—infection risk is real with this type of play. Wash thoroughly with warm soapy water after use, paying special attention to the tapered tip. Boil stainless steel sounds for five minutes or run them through a dishwasher for sterilisation. Glass can also be boiled or washed on high heat. Always use water-based lubrication—it's safer inside the urethra than silicone-based lubes. Store sounds in a clean, dry place away from moisture. Never force insertion; if a sound doesn't slide smoothly with adequate lubrication, stop and try a smaller diameter.
Goes Well With
Urethral Play Accessories
Cock rings and penis sleeves complement sound play by adding external stimulation while a sound is inserted. Some men combine sounds with vibrators held against the outside of the penis for dual sensation. Other urethral toys like plugs and stretchers offer different sensations and complement a sound collection.
