Someone who is compelled to read Savage Love every week—it’s part of her job—writes…
“I blame you that every time someone talks about the ‘Sounders’ I imagine all those boys with metal rods up their urethras. It’s not your fault I’m a pervert, but it’s your fault I know that word.”
Sound set photo courtesy of MedicalToys.com. Photo of a sound being used—not for the faint of heart or squeamish, NSFYW—after the jump. And since this post isn’t long enough or something to properly display the NSFYW after-the-jump photo, I’ve got to write a couple more lines here. Don’t know what to say here. Um, no desire to sound anyone, never been sounded myself, no interest in experimenting with sounding. Okay, now the photo…


JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH!!
Now THAT’S the hottest sounder.
I can’t unsee that!
yes, we get it, you don’t like strapping young men with great legs …
Well hello!
The innocence of tuning forks, ruined.
That guy needs to cut his fingernails, they are digging into his balls.
You’re a sick fucker, Mr. Savage.
Well done.
David Beckham, those fingernails are clearly part of the fetish.
What is up with the unhealthy looking yellowish color around his pubital region? Hepatitis contracted from the guy with the grossly in need of a trimming nails? Some kind of fungus? Ick.
I’m so, so, so, sorry I clicked.
Soon to replace “Tubgirl” as my goto tinyurl surprise…

I didn’t think there was anything worse than Docking.
I stand corrected.
now just imagine if someone stuck one end of a sound in him, one in another guy, and then docked it. just think. EW.
what’s with the Y in NSFW? is there a new acronym now? cool picture; thanks dan. (seriously– i’ve heard it described but never seen a clear pic before i dig it)
“Not Safe For Your Wang”, @16
I have a friend who is into sounding. Well, “into” is an understatement of the highest order.
#16. He means “Not Safe For Your Work.” Meaning, he can look at this all day and not get in trouble, unlike us.
But yeah, I agree. I’m glad I finally got to see this. I’ve only ever read about it in gay porn literature.
The stain looks more like residue from a (possibly) earlier session which involved use of that red-colored antiseptic that’s swabbed on B4 surgery. Though I don’t notice any piercings or stitches.
Well, I don’t want to be lumped in with Christians who say that dicks don’t belong in butts, but…man…
I’m glad it’s not just me that giggles every time I hear “sounders”.
Not that I’ve ever tried sounding, or want to, BUT: I’ve heard that it helps older men with prostate issues who have trouble peeing. Opens things up so to speak, much to their great relief, apparently. You do, however, have to get the sound all the way down there for it to work.
I’m no expert and am not recommending anyone actually try this at home, or anywhere else for that matter, and especially not with anonymous partners. Consult your favorite experienced sex fetishist –or read a damn book on the subject written by a doctor or three– before proceeding, which is always, of course, at your own risk.
Etc., etc., blah blah blah. Ouch.
I just looked up docking cuz I had shockingly never heard that term before… Apparently I always knew that by name of Snoodling. Docking is a boring name, Snoodling is much better. I hereby banish the word docking in favor of SNOODLING!!! YAY!!!!
What is the preferred method to make the “sounder” vibrate? With a hammer? 🙂 (just askin’)
I had a partner who was into sounding. It’s kind of fun, if you want it to be. Especially when he graduated from sounds to glow sticks. . .
@10 it’s a yeast infection… ^..^
At least it’s after the jump.
But, that’s pretty small …
Professor Plum in the penis with the sounder.
Hey Dan,
Your campaign slogan should be “Dan Savage Sucks.” “Dan Sucks” and “Savage Sucks” are also pretty good.
Yowch. People are into some crazy shit. For some reason the first thing I think of is how you would explain this in the ER.
i’m much fainter of heart than i thought. ouch!
Your commenters obviously never visit xtube.
At work, I usually use the mobile website so the strip club ads don’t show up. Unfortunately, the “after the break” thing doesn’t work on there. Bigger than life on my 17-inch monitor.
geez.
I fail to see the big deal. Hole. Nice smooth metal rod, presumably lubed. It’s not like the guy has a dremel up there. I understand that having your dick stroked while it’s all full of said metal rod is quite an intensely pleasurable experience. I think sloggers should try it and post pix. 🙂
Can you say urethral infection? Thank Zues I found a place that sells strait-jackets. Talk about chic!
I saw these things at an IML: once in chicago, and at first i thought they were some type fancy chopsticks (there were cocktails involved).
But they were explained to me as going up the butt to vibrate against the prostate.
1 – insert sounder in rectum until one end is touching the prostate.
2 – strike tuning fork.
3 – place tuning fork against exposed end of sounder.
4 – enjoy pleasurable vibration against “man”-toris (my word for the rpostate)
It seemed like an awful lot of work to my way of thinking, probably why i wouldn’t make a good leather sex person.
Stupid vision, letting me see shit like that.
WHYYYY?
Why the fucking hell would anyone want that do that…. or want that done to them?
I don’t feel well.
