Just because you "don't do it often" doesn't mean you needn't do it safely each time. For those who use sounds, being open and honest with the provider is vital, in order to discuss alternatives for avoiding infection if they plan to continue "sounding." If this occurs, or if there is blood in the urine, the person needs to see a health care provider. If the feeling continues for an extended period of time, the urinary tract may have become infected. If that happens, people use smaller "sounds." Some men also feel burning when urinating, due to irritation.

Some discomfort may be felt later if the sound has stretched the urethra. Anything inserted into the urethra is to be cleaned to reduce the chance of infection. The main risks with "sounding" include tearing or cutting the urethra and infection. Often sounds are locked into place so that a submissive partner cannot get an erection. If a penis starts to become erect, the person inserting the sound must wait until the erection subsides before continuing. Some of the curved "sounds" make getting an erection extremely difficult. They are also popular in the S&M community as a form of power exchange. People enjoy using "sounds" for the pleasurable sensations felt while being inserted. However, some people find silicone-based lubes to be a bit harder to clean up. Ultimately, a water- or silicone-based, glycerin-free lube with a thin consistency will probably work best for "sounding." Silicone-based lubes are longer lasting, but water-based lubes may have a thinner consistency. Sugars also can be found in some types of lube, sometimes listed as glycerin in the list of ingredients. Also, sugars from the mouth can be found in saliva that may cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Saliva isn't generally recommended as a lubricant because it dries quickly (as you may have discovered already). More lube and a narrower sound may be more safe and successful. If you encounter a constriction in the urethra that the "sound" will not pass through (most likely scar tissue), do not try to drive it through. Sounders use lots of lube, so the "sound" can easily slide in on its own (gentle guidance may be necessary pushing or forcing can cause tearing of the fragile tissue). While a glass thermometer may be readily available, the risk of breaking (and leaking harmful mercury) makes this a risky option. Other objects, such as thermometers, may do the trick, but metal sounds are recommended because they are easier to clean and have no chance of breaking when in use. The two most commonly used "sounds" are the Van Buren, which has a J-shaped curve on the end, and the Dittle, which is straight. Cock-stuffing, or "sounding" as it is called in the S&M community, involves inserting smooth, long, and thin surgical steel rods called "sounds" (hence the name "sounding") into a man's urethra.
