Sounding fascinates more and more people - especially when the intimate journey is experienced together. The urethra is an extremely sensitive, erogenous area; when it is consciously stimulated, deep, vibrating sensations arise that many describe as intense and surprisingly pleasurable. This guide will show you how to sound with your partner in a safe, respectful and sensually tingling way.
What is sounding?
Sounding is the insertion of smooth, sterile rods - so-called dilators or sounds - into the urethra. This practice can be experienced by both men and women, as both have a sensitive urethra. Slow, careful movements create an intense, inner feeling of pleasure that many find deep, pulsating and liberating.
How does sounding work?
During sounding, a slippery, sterile rod with plenty of lubricant is carefully inserted into the urethra. The passive partner is allowed to relax completely while the active partner guides with steady hands. Every millimeter can be felt - and that's what makes it so exciting.
What should I look out for when sounding?
Sounding is safe if it is carried out with awareness, hygiene and care. Only use sterile, smooth materials made of stainless steel or medical silicone. No improvised objects! Pay attention to calm breathing, relaxation, clean hands and a clear stop signal.
Tip for advanced players: Work with sets of different sizes and slowly increase the depth and diameter.
Tip for experienced players: Use light movements or rotations - very carefully - and combine them with breathing or control games.
How do I prepare for sounding?
Careful preparation creates safety and increases the tension. Wash your hands and penis/vulva thoroughly, disinfect the sounds and create a relaxed atmosphere. Warm lighting, calm voices and a few minutes of conscious breathing help to relax the muscles.
Finding the right size
Size selection is crucial. Too narrow can tilt or sting uncomfortably, too large can overstretch. Start smaller, but not extremely thin - stable sizes between 6 and 8 mm are ideal to start with. Only increase when your body feels ready. No pressure, no forcing.
Sounding together is all about trust. Talk about your wishes, limits, tempo and safewords in advance. The active partner leads slowly, observing the passive partner's breathing, muscle tension and body signals. Every moment is communication - a slight tremor, a deep breath, a smile.
Tips for all levels - sounding step by step
- Only use sterile sounds and plenty of lubricant.
- Insert a maximum of a few centimeters.
- Always slowly, without pressure, without aim.
- Stop if you feel burning, stinging or discomfort.
- Try changing sizes within a set.
- Slow inward and outward movements.
- Gently varying angles, but never abrupt.
- Optional light fixations for a calm position.
- Deeper sounding with complete care.
- Combination with dominance games or breathing rhythm.
- Targeted stimulation of the man's prostate with longer sounds.
- Strict adherence to all safety rules.
Conclusion
Sounding is an intimate art - sensual, concentrated, deep. When hygiene, communication and mindfulness take center stage, the result is an experience that strengthens confidence and raises body awareness to a new level. Whether alone or together: listen to your body, respect its boundaries and enjoy the intense sensations that this special form of stimulation makes possible.
