Enlisting a domme to write an articles on kinks and fetishes is a common technique these days to attract a few clicks with some titillating content. They tend to vary from blandly boring through to offensive kink shaming, with just the occasional interesting gem. Sadly, this one from Metro, written by Miranda Kane, is no gem. It starts off with a kink shaming title, before veering into the stupid and dangerous. Specifically this part on CBT…
But beginners can’t go wrong with investing in a pinwheel (…) and urethral sounding rods (which are metal sticks that go in the pee-hole).
Urethral sounding rods for beginners? I’m not sure you could pick something less suitable for CBT for beginners. I guess scrotal inflation? A crown of thorns?
Urethral sounds are a super specialized toy. They’re very intimidating for a lot of people. They require a particular technique to use, so you don’t risk tearing any delicate internal tissue. If you’re not careful about handling and sterilizing them, there’s a risk of introducing bacteria into the urethra and getting an infection. Not to mention, as a sensation they’re not even that tortuous, so not really CBT at all. I always enjoy experiencing them, and think they’re worth exploring for those with a bit of kinky experience, but they’re not for anyone wanting to torture their first cock.
How about clothespins? Or a little slappy paddle? Or just pinching and biting? There are about a thousand ways to try out CBT at lower cost and lower risk.
This is Clair Adams in a shoot with Nomad for kink.com. I think this counts as the super advanced CBT class – an electrified urethral sound. Definitely one of the more unique sensations I’ve ever experienced.
Life imitates ‘art’ (at least as you define ‘art’ in your categories of links, Paltego).
This reminded me of nothing more than a couple of jokey posts I did cheerfully presenting extremely dangerous and extreme activities as being just good fun, called “Advice to a novice sub”. But these were at least signposted rather heavy-handedly as being attempts at humour.
In fact, looking back at them I see that one even features sounding, the ‘joke’ being nothing other than the idea that sounding might be an innocuous activity. I thought that experienced players who know what it is (I curiously asked one of the first dommes I’d visited, the lovely Mistress Tyler of Washington D.C., who uses a check-list, and when she explained, I had no difficulty in declining the kind offer and I’ve had to cross my legs every time I think of it since – but the session was wonderful) and would take it as self-evident that this is not good ‘advice for a novice sub’.

Clearly, as political commentators are also learning these days, it’s hard to do satire when real life is just as crazy.

That’s funny. I actually remember reading and laughing at that particular post you did, but didn’t remember sounds being a part of it. I think it was the MILF one that really stuck in my head.
As an aside, if you’ve never tried sounds, they’re surprisingly mild in terms of sensation. At least if done properly. There supposed to just slide in under their own weight, rather than be pushed, so apart maybe the odd pinching feeling, it’s physically actually a pleasant sensation. More of a head trip than anything. Electrifying them is of course a different story.
And yes, we’re clearly beyond satire for many parts of real life these days. Tough to keep up when the crazy is constantly on the move.

Noooo! Nononononononono.
Icky!
Paltego, my tolerance for even having a soft rope gently tied around my balls is close to zero. I’m just the worst sub with pain (or even not-pain in certain regions of the body) that the world has ever known. Fortunately, I have a very understanding domme (although Eleise de Lacey did once manage to demonstrate to me that I could refrain from giggling and shrieking if I really wanted to – she can be rather firm, that lady – and it was wonderful).
Sorry, where was I?
Oh yeah. Look, my idea of a head trip is being made to write lines for about three hours before I’m even allowed to session, OK? Or going shopping with her and having to ask her to take money out of her purse if I want to buy something (and being refused in front of the shop assistant! Bliss!).
I think you and I have rather different approaches to this thing we do – and nothing wrong with that!
Well I’m not going to try and convince you to try something that scores so high on the icky meter! If you were the slightest bit curious, then I would assure you that they’re more pleasurable and interesting as a sensation, rather than painful, but life is definitely too short to waste time on things that don’t appeal at all.
Glad to hear you have fun with Eleise de Lacey. I was lucky enough to session with her in Vancouver and definitely enjoyed the experience. She has a wonderful old school femme fatale vibe that I loved.
