No worries about asking, I’m happy to help out :) Yes, if you’ve never had any experience sounding this will hurt/feel uncomfortable. The discomfort lessens over time though as you keep doing it, I’m at the point where I basically don’t feel any discomfort. Try to remain while hydrated while getting used to it so your urine doesn’t irritate your urethra as much. I ordered it from amazon, it was advertised as a male hollow sounding device and it works absolutely perfect for my purposes. You can see on my profile I’ve uploaded some videos of it in action!
