Not to do! If all fantasies are allowed in terms of sexuality, those which integrate an inert element of furniture or electronic equipment can be dangerous. In the United States, a 21-year-old must have undergone surgery of emergency after a sexual experience with a USB cable was terribly turned.
A man “connected” by the survey
Depending on the medical case published in Coreusthe anonymous student inserted the object into his urethra – the tube of the penis which transports urine out of the body – as part of a dangerous practice called “survey”.
It is a sexual practice of inserting long and fine objects in the urethra, a behavior observed mainly in men. This practice can be motivated by the search for sexual stimulation, curiosity or, in some cases, psychiatric disorders.
In this specific case, the man had introduced a USB cable by forming a loop, leaving the two ends outside his body. However, the operation was interrupted when the relatively thick cable was stuck in the urethra, making any extraction impossible without medical intervention.

A bag of knots in the bladder
Obliged to go to the emergency room, the man is taken care of by doctors who can only see the “knot” of the problem: the scanners show a cable so deeply driven into his urethra that he had entered his bladder, where he had then stayed. Impossible to extract it quickly, the emergency workers then decided to anesthetize the man and tried to extract the cable using special tools inserted in the urethra, section by section. Once released, the man stayed a week under surveillance then was able to return home with pain relievers and antibiotics.

Insertion of objects in the ureth: a dangerous game with serious (and varied) consequences)
In the report, doctors have recalled obviousness. “The self-integration of objects in the urethra for sexual or other reasons is rare but can cause serious damage.” According to Dr Gérald Kierzek, emergency doctor and medical director of True Medical, these gestures are not without danger – far from it. This is what can happen:
Sometimes irreversible trauma
The male urethra is a fine and fragile anatomical structure, not designed for the introduction of foreign objects. An ill -controlled insertion can lead to:
- Perforations of the urethra, the bladder pass or even the bladder itself;
- Tears of the mucous membranes, causing bleeding and lively pain;
- The formation of false passages, that is to say abnormal journeys created by the object;
- Lesions of urinary sphincters, with a sustainable risk on continence.
Potentially severe infections
The simple fact of introducing a foreign body into the urethra promotes the proliferation of bacteria, with sometimes serious consequences:
- Ascending urinary tract infections;
- Acute, painful and febrile prostatitis in humans;
- Pyelonephritis (kidneys infections);
- In the most serious cases, a septicemia, generalized infection that can initiate the vital prognosis.
When the gesture becomes a surgical emergency
It happens that the object used gets stuck or can no longer be removed spontaneously. This can cause:
- Acute urinary retention, completely preventing from urinating;
- Significant hemorrhages;
- The need for emergency surgical extraction.
Lasting consequences not to underestimate
Even after the resolution of an acute episode, complications may persist prevent Dr. Kierzek.
- Scarring scar of the urethra (stenosis), making the urination difficult;
- Need for repeated urinary dilations or reconstructive surgery;
- Urinary incontinence, repeated infections, even erectile dysfunctions or ejaculation disorders.
In short, a lot of concern for having a little too liked an electric cable. Dr. Kierzek is formal:“The urethra is not for that. Complications range from local injury to vital emergency.”
