Squee! About two months ago, I decided that I really wanted to have some fun with my urethral sounds. I hadn't played with them for a few months after
getting my cock pierced. But after removing the ring -- which I figured was best before using the sounds -- and having perhaps a little too much fun with the sounds, I found myself
unable to get the ring back in. There was a small bit of trauma
getting it fixed, but it healed very quickly after that.
In the meantime, I had talked with Y (who pierced me) about this and he asserted there really is no reason I shouldn't be able to still enjoy sounds play. I held off again until I was sure it was healed up again. But then just yesterday I was chatting with Y and he mentioned that one possibility for preparing for a larger gauge ring is to either use sounds or tapers in the piercing to stretch it. bwok!? That hadn't occured to me...
So after waking up very early this morning -- I fell asleep a little earlier than I should have -- I was a little horny and got the idea to try this. Being a little concerned, I still double checked that I could easily remove and reinsert the ring a few times. And then, using the very thinnest Hager dilator -- which actually turns out to be thinner than 8ga -- threaded through with the greatest of ease. In fact, I was pretty fascinated to check it out from different angles to get a sense of how the piercing runs through my cock. And why shouldn't a guy's cock fascinate him? ;)
So, next I decided to see what size would actually fit through the piercing. I started with #1. #2 actually seems very slightly larger than 8ga, so it was a fairly snug fit at first. But before very long I was pulling the #1/#2 rod slowly all the way through the piercing in a loop. :) hehe But for some reason the size jump to #3 is bigger and I wasn't in the mood to force stretching that much this first time. So I reinserted the ring and found it noticeably loose... so it didn't take much to stretch it. Cool.
And then I had another flash... deliciously naughty. I wanted to do some urethral play, but I absolutely positively did NOT want a repeat of last time. The thing that came to mind was something I'd seen some guys post on XTube -- YES, I admit it... I do enjoy online pr0n! Several of the sounds players use multiple rods instead of just single larger diameter rods to stretch. I'd been doing the latter, and some of the size increments were very hard to adjust to directly. The trick seems to be that while the two or three small rods are easier to fit inside, you can *then* pry them gently apart to help stretch to a point where a larger rod might fit, or just exclusively instead of using larger diameter rods.
So... I started with the #1 and #2 and I left the PA inserted, just to (a) see whether it was possible and (b) avoid piercing issues in case I did wind up pushing a little too hard. I found that even with the 8ga ring in, I was still easily able to get up to #4 without even stretching. So I stepped back to #3 and then added #1.
OH MY GOD. This is *totally* what I needed! Where I had gotten to a point, using single rods, where I was finding it increasingly harder to maintain sensation and stretching without taking more difficult steps to larger rods, now I can get the desired sensation more easily. yay!!! In fact, I also found that by using the smaller rods I was able to stay with a regular lubricant instead of going to Surgilube or a petroleum jelly. There was a lot of win here. :D
And looking down as I had two rods in, wedging them apart, and seeing them and the piercing there -- ah metal! -- I then suddenly had the urge to snap a picture. Yeah, you might be inclined to cringe and squeak out "ow ow ow!"... but it felt WONDERFUL. :D
Now I feel like I've got a new lease on the level of fun I can have! heh
