Sounding - Sounds and Penis Plugs

Sounding refers to the insertion of rods into the urethra for sexual or sensory stimulation – often referred to as urethral play.

Yes - if it is performed correctly with sterile tools, good hygiene, and plenty of lubricant. Always start with small sizes and be careful.

Surgical steel is smooth, heavy, and easy to sterilize - ideal for beginners - here you can let gravity do most of the work for you without having to force the sound in.

A sterile, water-based and thin lubricant is best - it should be able to easily penetrate the urethra without being sticky.

It should not hurt. A slight tension and pressure feeling is normal, but pain is a sign that you should stop or choose a smaller size.

Sounding – also known as urethral stimulation – is an advanced fetish practice where you explore the inner sensitivity of the penis by inserting smooth rods or penis plugs (sounds) into the urethra. Many describe it as an intense combination of physical pleasure, mental focus, and bodily control – a kink that can be both deeply sensual and challenging.

At Homoware, you’ll find a wide selection of sounds and penis plugs for men. Our range includes thin, smooth rods for beginners, thicker models, and complete sets in surgical steel for experienced users. We also offer flexible silicone sounds as well as textured or vibrating versions, providing extra stimulation and the ability to tailor the experience to your level and preferences.

When practising sounding, safety and preparation are essential. Always use sterile equipment, plenty of water-based, thin lubricant, and start with narrower rods before gradually increasing the size. This ensures both a safe experience and maximum pleasure.

Whether you’re curious to try sounding for the first time or already enjoy the intensity of penis plugs, here you’ll find everything you need to explore this unique form of fetish play.
