i'm afraid that you were given some questionable advice. i do not want to say that you were given misinformation, perhaps that has worked for the Person that was holding the seminar. plenty of lube is needed, for sure. but using any old lube is a very bad idea. i am clinically trained in invasive procedures, and i would NEVER use anything except sterile lube. your instinct was right 100% on that one. i get blister packs because i don't even use the same tube on different people. the urethra is a passageway to the bladder, and the bladder must remain sterile at all costs. using plenty of lube that has some sort of foreign material in it could cause an infection. using lube with any sort of color/scent/flavor can cause irritation and infection as well. it is easy enough to get surgilube. use it for this type of play ALWAYS. sterilize the implements ALWAYS. change gloves anytime they touch anything that isn't perfectly clean. sterility is ideal, but most P/people don't play that way. i do create a sterile field if i am going all the way, as in bladder control. i would never knowingly catheterize someone without following strict sterile technique. an ounce of prevention... and thank you for the link, it went a long way in answering the question posed. i understand that the nickname "the clap" comes from the blockage caused by gonorrhea, that the shaft needed to be clapped to forcibly eject the infected material. historically, as in before ultrasound, i believe that sounds were also used for measuring the uterus.
