Just curious what size catheters and sounds you people use.  I"m up to an 18fr 10cc cath and love the feel.  I"ve been considering using a 30cc builb but not until I run out of the 10cc ones and reorder.

So what gets you guys off?

A urinary catheter is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. An IV catheter is a different matter, of course; that is used for medical access to blood veins.

You can find a good descriptions of the catheters I'm talking about at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_catheter  but in short it's a flexible tube that's inserted through the urethra into the bladder. 

The inside of the urethra, at least on males, is extremely sensitive and it feels incredible as the cathether slides in.  There's also a point of extreme sensation as the cather passes the prostate and the entrance into the bladder itself.

Since the subject has been brought up here, will there be any discussion about using sterile procedure while inserting a catheter and that this might best be done by people who have the proper medical knowledge to avoid damage and infection?

Urinary catheters can be fun but like nearly all things in this lifestyle, they need to be used by experienced players with proper precautions.

Sterile procedure and maintaining the sterile field is not that difficult, just takes a certain amount of practice and forethought.   I have the benefit of a nurse as one of my regular lovers as well as having dated the owner of a body jewelry company and piercer.  I've learned, through exeperienced, well trained lovers how to be careful and engage in RACK play.  (Risk Aware Consentual King).

I would be willing to go into the various procedures and habits I use both on my self and on my partners when engaging in this kind of play.

Zephyr46, you bring up a good point.  Discussion of sterile field is very important to any lifestyler looking to engage in medical play.  Or blood play. Or piercing.  Or temporary piercing.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile for someone to write up an essay for lifestyle people to read and make it a sticky or info post?  While discussions about medical play should certainly include the importance of sterile field, I think it can get redundant quickly to include a full explanation of sterile field & other safety issues in every single medical fetish discussion.  Maybe a medical play FAQ somewhere would be nice.

Or, is there one already and I simply haven't seen it yet?

With sterile fields, it's important to be pedantic!

Chlorhexidine is favoured over Iodine to use as an antiseptic to wipe the area clean. Grab some sterile wool with sterile forceps and dunk them in chlorhexidine contained in a sterile container. Then roll the wet wool firmly over the area to be cleaned, eg. starting from the urethral opening for catheters, in concentric circles which get larger and larger in radius, making sure not to miss any spot. The principle is that as the wool contacts the skin (not sterile) it becomes unsterile, hence the first point of contact is the cleanest and should not be touched again, except for with sterile equipment. It is important however that the skin is scrubbed  relatively firmly (especially where holes are or will be made), rather than gently coated with antiseptic.

Once an area has been 'sterilised', it is considered CLEAN and should only be touched with CLEAN, sterile equipment which should never touch anything else which isnt considered clean. Some consider even holding unsterile equipment over a sterile area is enough to contaminate the field, more a precautionary measure. If something considered clean does touch ANYTHING 'dirty' (ie anything not sterile), it becomes dirty and both surfaces need to be cleaned again or preferably, replaced. :D
