I had never really considered sounding as something I would ever try. Just the thought of stuffing a steel rod down inside my penis... Well why would you! But there again, as someone who pretty much wears a metal cock ring 24/7 (with a correct fit of course) and uses ball stretchers, I thought I just had to try it to see how it feels. So here we are, I took the plunge so to speak.

First, as always it arrived in a discreet package from Lovehoney and delivery was fast. I couldn't wait to open it and see what it looked like. Wow, my first thought was how on earth is going to fit in my cock. Just look at the length of it. As well as this one I also ordered a 8mm one, but will review this separately. Just to note, the packaging this rod comes in is pretty good, being a tasteful round plastic tube, which is also perfect for storage.

So I carefully sterilised the rod before first use by boiling in water for 10min, let it cool, washed my hands and cock carefully with antibacterial handwash. I also used antimicrobial hand wipes on my hands and glans, just to make sure. Then put a dab of sterile lube (courtesy of Lovehoney) on my meatus and along the 5mm end of the rod and then inserted it into my hole.

I would recommend inserting it into a semi-erect penis, laying down and holding your penis vertical, it is easier... Plus, to be honest, my cock was pretty erect anyway by this time with excitement and anticipation. Wow, I was amazed how easily it slid down just under its own weight, and it wasn't long before the whole length had almost disappeared into my cock.

How on earth it fits in there is beyond me, but it does, and boy are the sensations incredible. All the nerve endings in the urethra and particularly around the meatus are stimulated and it really feels good as you gently slide the rod in. A gentle stroking of my cock with it inserted was incredible. It wasn't long before I turned the rod around and inserted the 6mm end, which slipped in equally as easily. A combination of gentle stroking and sliding the rod in and out was incredible until I finally withdraw as the urge to cum took over. How does it feel, it is hard to describe, but a little like an electric tingling, a wank from the inside. I can't believe I haven't tried this before. It's amazing. Just do it. You will love it.

Afterwards remember to have a pee to clear out the lube. I didn't feel any stinging at all after use, but am aware some guys do. Clean your sound with soap and water then Lovehoney toy cleaner, dry and store until next time... which for me was later the same day as couldn't wait to try it again!
