Urethral plug
A urethral plug is a sex toy and is used to stimulate the urethra . A urethral plug can be used by women and men alike; but there are also special versions only for men. Urethral plugs are also known colloquially as penis plugs , semen brakes or cum stoppers .
application
A urethral plug is inserted into the urethra . In order to avoid inflammation and the spread of germs and bacteria, the plug should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected beforehand. The use of lubricant is advisable to prevent injuries . By moving the plug or stretching the urethra, sexual stimulation is achieved, which can also lead to orgasm. For beginners, it is recommended to start with the smallest urethral plug and then slowly increase by inserting a scepter with a larger diameter.
Designs
Urethral plugs are available in different designs and designs to adapt the plugs to both the female and male anatomy. The part which is inserted into the urethra can be smooth or studded with pearls for better stimulation and / or tapered for expansion. In addition, flexible and rigid plugs are possible thanks to various materials.
In order to prevent slipping into the urethra, most plugs have a wider foot at the end, similar to a butt plug. The foot is partially decorated with a crystal and thus serves as intimate jewelry. The plug cannot be fixed in women because, in contrast to the anus, the urethra lacks a sphincter at the urethral outlet. Since the man's urethra is about 20 cm long, the urethral plugs especially for men are usually longer. To fix the plug, the penis shaft and the glans can be used here . With penis and glans rings made of metal or plastic, urethral plugs can be securely fixed and held in place. There are urethral plugs, especially for men, which have a flexible part to insert so that the plug can be worn when the penis is erect or when the penis is flaccid.
Plugs with an opening
Plugs with an opening allow urination when carried and also ejaculation in men. Some manufacturers of such plugs advertise them with the possibility of long-term wear. Hygiene is very important to ensure that no germs can get into the urethra or bladder after ejaculation or urination. Plugs with various nozzles can be found on the Internet. These are mainly used by adherents of urophilia in order to experience a special charm.
Plugs without opening
Plugs without an opening allow only limited ejaculation or urination. The urethra is closed by the plug, but pressure is used to stretch the urethra so that liquids can flow by.
Plugs without an opening are often sold under the name Spermabremse or Cum Stopper, as the sperm cannot pass the urethra unhindered during orgasm . The aim here is to lengthen the orgasm and thus intensify it. This can also be achieved by squeezing the urethra on the penile shaft or perineum . The orgasm should be intensified and prolonged by the backwater. It can be used to retrograde ejaculation come; Part of the sperm gets into the urinary bladder , which can be seen in whitish protein threads in the urine . Injaculation is usually not possible simply by wearing a urethral plug without an opening .
Risks
If improperly performed, urethral stimulation can lead to risks or problems in a number of ways:
- Inserting pointed or sharp-edged objects or objects that are too large can injure the urethra. Stimulation should be stopped immediately if pain occurs.
- If loose objects are inserted too deeply, they cannot be removed again without authorization. In such cases, the item must be removed by a healthcare professional.
- The introduction of germs can lead to urethritis .
In women, the risk of ascending infections and injuries to the bladder is much higher due to the comparatively short urethra and its straight course. In men, an introduction into the body via the bend of the penis ( "Cobb's Curve" ) is usually seen as risky, as the mucous membrane becomes softer and more sensitive there, irritation is more frequent and infections caused by introduced bacteria can rise more easily.
Using non- sterile items and not using a (sterile) lubricant gel can increase the risk of injury or infection. If used improperly, medical catheters can both roll up in the urinary bladder and puncture the urinary bladder. This can lead to life-threatening situations.
