Urethral sounding: Een riskant seksspel

Urethral sounding: a risky sex game

Samenvatting

Recreatief urethraal sonderen is een weinig beschreven seksuele handeling in de medische literatuur. De methode bestaat uit het inbrengen van een voorwerp of vloeistof in de urethra om bijvoorbeeld seksueel genot te verkrijgen. Op het internet lijkt de populariteit toe te nemen, waarbij de gevaren van dit seksuele spel, waaronder infecties en urethrastricturen, onderbelicht worden. Urethraal sonderen wordt voornamelijk gepraktiseerd door mannen, die uiteenlopende patiëntkarakteristieken hebben. Behandeling moet in de acute fase bestaan uit verwijdering van het corpus alienum en in de latere fase uit ontmoediging. Mocht ontmoediging niet werken, dan moet de behandeling gericht zijn op voorlichting ter verkleining van de mogelijk vervelende risico’s van urethrale sounding.

Abstract

Little has been written in medical literature about urethral sounding as a sexual activity. Urethral sounding is the insertion of an object or liquid into the urethra for example for erotic gratification. On the Internet the popularity seems to increase, but the risks of this sex game, such as infection and urethral stricture, are underexposed. Mainly men perform urethral sounding and the patient characteristics vary widely. In the acute phase, treatment should consist of removal of the foreign body and, in the later phase, of discouraging the patient to continue urethral sounding. When the patient does not want to stop with the sounding, treatment should be focused on education in order to reduce the possible dreadful consequences of urethral sounding.
