Catheters

An unfortunate side effect of many injuries, especially spinal injuries that cause paralysis, is the need for catheters. When an individual cannot get out of bed to go to the restroom or cannot control his or her own bladder functions, it becomes necessary to use a urinary catheter to collect the urine from the bladder. Of course, it is necessary to follow proper procedures when inserting a catheter, but complications can still occur.

Use of a catheter is a serious occurrence, and several problems could arise from prolonged insertion. For example, urinary tract infections are common, especially when using a penis catheter, and this adds complications to an already desperate situation, leading to the need for antibiotics.

In some cases, catheter insertion creates a sensation for a patient that is found to be erotic, perhaps because of the total lack of control (you cannot “hold in” your urine when catheters are used; the urine will drain and never collect in your bladder) or sometimes simply because this “feels good”. The catheter fetish leads to catheter play, the repeated insertion and removal of the catheter kicks. This catheter insertion play can be part of a role playing scenario that is much like “playing doctor”, where the dominant party inserts the catheter into the submissive party.

The Foley catheter is a popular choice for such tactics because the website gives full details on Foley catheter insertion, allowing a party to learn the basics without ever consulting a physician or going to medical school. Foley catheters also offer gyno catheter pictures that provide images of insertion for individuals to use as a reference. The Hickman catheter can also be seen and read about on the internet, enabling individuals to make a choice in what brand they intend to use. However, most urinary catheters are similar and will insert the same way.

Keep in mind that there are other units referred to as catheters as well that have nothing to do with urinary dysfunction. Central venous catheters give direct access to the blood stream for individuals who are taking chemotherapy or kidney dialysis, as well as other regimental drugs that require an IV with each administration. It keeps the person from having to be poked and prodded with each repeated treatment.

If you decide to engage in role play using urinary catheters, be aware of the possibility of complications, and be careful in the administration of such devices. No medical device of this nature should ever be used lightly or without regard for safety.
