Kinky play

The glans is located at the top of the cock and is where the urethra ends. This area is extremely sensitive, especially the underside at the edge of the glans. A catheter is a thin tube that can be inserted into the urethra if you need help to pee. But catheters can also be used for kinky play, for example to simulate the sensation of being 'injected' in a kinky way or filled in a slightly different way.

Another practice that involves the urethra is sounding. Sounding also involves inserting something into the urethra, like a penile plug to stimulate the cock from the inside. These are usually more rigid and are made of hard plastic or metal. Penile plugs or sounding tools come in different sizes, thicknesses and shapes to provide different types of sensation and stimulation.

It is important to remember that the lining of the urethra is extremely thin and susceptible to injury. An injury can lead to an infection that is both painful and difficult to treat. Therefore, be extra careful with catheter sex and think carefully about what you actually want to put into the urethra. Always use sterile catheters and plenty of sterile lubricant. Also, make sure that whatever you insert has a stop at the end, so that it does not accidentally disappear up and get stuck inside the body.

The risk of minor injuries and bleeding during this type of play is a bit higher, so it is extra important to use a condom if you want to fuck or get a blowjob afterwards. Urine may also contain traces of blood after catheter sex, even if it is not visible to the naked eye.

Spit & Snot

Swapping saliva and snot during a hot makeout session can be magical. It can also be really hot to be spat on or to spit on someone else while having sex. It can give a feeling of dominance and submission. For many people, it is hot to engage in such a humiliating act. And the good news is that neither saliva nor snot poses any risk of transmitting HIV or other STIs!

Piss

Have you ever tried to pee on yourself on purpose as an adult, maybe in the shower? If you're into water sports, giving or receiving a golden shower can be both sexy and intimate. Maybe you get off watching others pee, or someone watching you? Some people get off on watching someone pee themselves, or peeing on someone else. It could be part of a dominance/submission (D/S) game, or just two guys seeing who can last the longest before their jeans turn an even darker blue.

Of course, we all have different tastes in piss - both how we want to use it and how it tastes. Taste and color vary from person to person and depending on what you drink and what time of day it is.

Urine poses minimal risk of transmitting HIV or other STIs. However, if the person urinating has recently come, there may be semen residues in the urine. If the urethra is damaged or infected, there may also be blood in the urine, even if it is not visible. This can increase the risk of transmitting HIV and some STIs (including some forms of hepatitis). If you want to be extra careful, avoid getting pee in your mouth, eyes, open wounds or buttocks. Piss on whole skin, on the other hand, is completely harmless - and sometimes amazing!

Stretching your ass

Stretching your ass is an important part of anal sex for many. The feeling of being stretched and fulfilled is something you can really get off on. Want to take it a step further? Then follow the same rule as for all anal penetration: take it step by step and listen to your body's limits. Does it not feel good? Then stop. Read more about the basics of anal sex here! 

There are special tools, such as butt plugs and dildos to stretch the ass. Another tool is the rectal speculum, which can hold the ass open and can be adjusted to widen the anus gradually. There are also toys that can be inflated inside you to get bigger after they are inserted. Are you curious? Check out a sex toy shop or Google it! Just remember to use plenty of lube for all anal penetration and to clean toys between users if you share.

Vacuum pump

A vacuum pump can be used to get a harder erection or temporarily enlarge the cock or scrotum. Many people also like to pump their nipples. The pump creates a negative pressure that draws more blood into the erectile tissue, which can lead to a fuller feeling and more intense sensations. Some find that the pumped area becomes extra sensitive. 

It is important to pump gradually and listen to your body - too much pressure can cause bruising or burst blood vessels. If you feel numbness or pain, release the pressure immediately.

For those who really like the feeling of vacuum, there are also more extreme variants, such as suction cups and full-body vacuum chambers. But as with all kinky play - knowledge, communication and safety first, then the play can begin!

Using a vacuum pump does not pose a risk of transmitting HIV or other STIs.

Scat

For some, receiving a hefty load of ass is extremely satisfying - sometimes even sexually arousing. The smell of ass can be really arousing... Maybe you're the kind of person who gets off on having a big ass over your face? 

Scat play in itself poses a very low risk of transmitting HIV or other STIs, as long as there is no blood in the stool. However, human feces can contain other viruses, bacteria and parasites that can infect the recipient - for example, shigella, salmonella, some types of hepatitis and amoebas. If you are living with HIV, you may also be particularly susceptible to these infections.

There are good vaccines against hepatitis A and B. Talk to your doctor if you are not vaccinated or if you need a booster dose. The hepatitis A vaccine costs a few hundred dollars, but the hepatitis B vaccine is free for cis men and transgender people who have sex with men. Some healthcare providers vaccinate against hepatitis B with Twinrix, which includes the hepatitis A vaccine. 

Avoid getting feces in your mouth, eyes or open wounds. Also, avoid getting feces in each other's butts. Feces on undamaged skin, on the other hand, is completely harmless - and maybe even enjoyable!
