What is Urethral Stimulation and How to Practice

The quest for a better orgasm can take us to places we never thought we would. Whether it's unusual sex positions, new sex toys or even BDSM and bondage. All these activities are ways to explore your own body and your own sexuality. One area of ​​the genitals that tends to be frequently overlooked, however, is the urethra.

When asked about the erogenous zones and your genitals, the urethra will likely be the last thing on your mind. It's just the hole I pee from, isn't it?
While this is true, a lesser known fact about the urethra is that it is extremely sensitive and fraught with nerves. As with the other nerve parts of the body, stimulating the urethra can be amazing. Unlike the penis or vagina, the urethra is much more delicate. When stimulating her, you need to be very careful and gentle, otherwise there is a risk of abrasions, tears or infections.

In order for you to start exploring urethral stimulation in a safe and satisfying way, there are loads of products and sex toys you can use, each designed specifically for use on the urethra. So you can get started, let's explain a bit about what the urethra is, how to stimulate the urethra and what toys to use to stimulate the urethra.

What is the urethra?

The urethra is a part of the body found in the male and female genitals. In men, the urethra is about 20 centimeters long and runs along the penis, through the prostate and up to the bladder. The urethra is the channel through which urine and semen pass.

In women, the urethra is much shorter, usually about two inches long. The female urethra connects directly to the bladder and carries urine only. Both sexes have a urethral sphincter, which allows them to control when urine can leave the body, and men have a second to restrict urine during ejaculation.

What is urethral stimulation?

Now that you know what and where the urethra is, you can start thinking about stimulating it. Both sexes can enjoy this stimulation and whether you like it or not, it will be a personal taste that you will have to explore.

As the part of the urethra that reaches the surface of the skin is very small, urethral activity usually consists of inserting objects into it. They can be of varying lengths, some stimulating just below the skin's surface, while others reaching much deeper. It all depends on how much you like the stimulation and how far you want to explore. There are men who insert toys that can stimulate the urethra and prostate at the same time.

Why do people practice urethra stimulation?

As with almost any other type of sexual stimulation, urethral stimulation is designed to achieve sexual pleasure. Inserting objects into the urethra may seem a little awkward at first, but so do most types of sex play before trying them out. If you're willing to give it a try, urethral stimulation can give you some incredibly intense and pleasurable sensations.

Does urethral stimulation hurt?

Pain is likely to be the initial reaction you can expect when placing something inside the urethra. It can hurt, but if you use lubrication and be careful when inserting the toy, it should be a painless process.

For some people, pain can be exciting. This is a very present feature in the BDSM community. If you are interested in that, then the use of urethral toys can be adapted to give you a level of pain during the experience, which increases the arousal even more.

What are the appropriate toys for urethral stimulation?

Since most urethral stimulation is internal, there are a few different types of toys available, depending on how deep you want the penetration to be and the types of sensations you want to experience.

Penis Plugs (or Dilators)

Penis plugs are one of the most common urethral toys and are ideal for beginners. They are quite short, typically only a few centimeters long, and are designed to fit into the urethral tube.

Most plugs will have a T-bar or end ring to keep them from going too deep. Can be made of silicone or stainless steel. Plug variants are available for women and are called urethra plugs.

Urethra probes

Urethral probes are a little more advanced. They are much longer and, if you like, they can penetrate the entire length of the urethral tube to the bladder.
They have a number of different designs and formats that allow you to choose one that suits the stimulation you like best. You can even find models curved to prevent the man from getting an erection. Most urethra probes will be stainless steel, although some silicone variants are available. They also come in a wide variety of diameters, so if you like the feeling of dilating your urethra, you can increase the sizes.

Sperm blockers

Sperm blockers are designed specifically for men and look a bit like a cockring. The ring part is at the head of the penis, through the glans and frenulum, while the arm is inside the urethra. Many sperm blockers have a small ball at the end of the arm, although some have a rounded design that is the same circumference as the arm itself. Sperm blockers are always made of stainless steel.

Prince Albert Piercings

While not specifically a toy, a Prince Albert piercing is another form of urethra stimulation. These genital piercings are only for men, however, there is a variant that a woman can use, called the Princess Albertina piercing. Prince Albert's piercings extend from the part of the glans where the head meets the body of the penis, along the urethra to the urethral opening. Piercing is used with a ring that protrudes from the penis.

Dangers of Urethral Play

While most sexual practices carry at least some form of risk with them, urethral stimulation is far more dangerous and things can often go wrong. However, this should not discourage you, as the vast majority of negative effects are due to human error and, with proper practice and safe techniques, you should have no problems.

The most common risk you can run is infection. The urethra catches bacteria very easily from anything you put in it, so it's important to always make sure your toys are clean and sterilized before you start using them.

Performing a penetration or dilation of the urethra without lubrication will certainly cause pain, abrasions and, in some cases, rupture of the sensitive internal tissue, so lubrication is essential. But unlike most sexual practices, regular lubrication is not always adequate. In general, a water-based lubricant is recommended as it is easier to clean after a session, but you should check the lubricant ingredients to make sure none of the ingredients (particularly glycerin) can cause a reaction inside the urethra. Always look for 100% sterile lubricants.

Once you make sure everything is clean, the only real scratches come from you. Toys that are too thick or too long can cause a lot of pain or tears if you try to insert them, so gradually increase the sizes to stretch the urethra. Just as forcing a toy too fast or too rough will cause similar damage. When inserting the toy, if you encounter any resistance, you should stop and try again later. Forcing a toy into your urethra canal where it doesn't want to go can even lead to your urethra piercing, which would be disastrous for your body's natural functions.

We know that you now have a lot of information to assimilate, but this information is really important. Practicing urethral stimulation and dilation is not something you can or should do without prior research, at the very least. Always opt for your safety and look for specific toys for this purpose and HERE you can find our selection. When you choose your favorite, you can start your practice. Good luck and best wishes!
