Guys who repeatedly stuff things up their urethras (like speaker wire, paper clips, pen springs, pipe cleaners, eyeglass screws, wood screws, etc), causing eventual scarring which leads to the inability to pee, urinary retention and renal damage that requires suprapubic catheter placement, or urostomy, and/or eventual dialysis which they then don’t take care of properly and make themselves sick as a result and then demand I fix them are fucking annoying.
That is all.

:eek:
Well…it does sound like a practice that is its own punishment.

I hate when that happens.

Any chance you could stuff enough liquid explosive up there to take out an airplane?
TSA should be made aware of this possibility.

That is a kink that completely loses me. Hard to see what the appeal might be. From what I understand, there is at least one Doper who engages in this practice, but he mentioned that he has a set of “sounding rods”, which presumably can (and should) be sterilized.
On the other hand, if I had the knowledge and ability to catheterize myself, I’d never miss a second of a movie and be able to get right up close at concerts without worrying about losing my place.
Sounds like there is a story, maybe a story and a half, behind your rant.

Great, so now not only will I need to take off my shoes in the security line, I’ll also need to whip out my penis for the Cock Check.

You know, there are few rants that I can get behind 100% fully, completely with no criticism whatsoever.
This is one of the few. I have nothing to add other than ‘Hear! Hear!’

I was complaining about this the other day. If you’re willing to kill yourself I think you’d probably be willing to get a plastic tube shoved up your dick. So let me bring a god damn pepsi on the plane.

Um, are you telling me others don’t have to do that already? :dubious:
I need to go file a complaint…

Nine posts, and no one has made wretched punning reference to the legenday soul singer, Ms Franklin. This is a proud day for us all.

I just did it one time, you know, for the experience. But those repeaters - those guys are crazy. 😛

Well, where else do you keep your junk?
Because I keep hearing on the TV about girls talking about a guy’s junk.
They aren’t talking about scrap metal, are they?

Hey, **QtM** , I got a weird and semi-oddly specific Q for you- Did you ever get anyone from the CA prison system transferred over to your jail and had to deal with THEIR penile penal modification issues? Those dudes are CRAZY.

I’ve had guys with penile mods, yes. None of the ‘flayed open along the urethra’ sort of mods, but go ahead and check this thread out, if you like: [My patient's bizarre penis - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=273825)
We generally make the guys take their penile rings, posts, etc. out. But if they’ve got stuff implanted under the skin, which can’t be removed without surgery we generally don’t bother.

I hope you keep the cans of compressed “air” from your clients, cause its obvious they alread cruise the SDMB general questions section of the forum 🙂

And then when they come in complaining of problems from it, who’s always got to deal with it? Gotta love the Jail house clinics… :smack:

Once again, **QtM** , you’ve given me something to recall to cheer me up when I get twisted up by my own work-gripes.
“Geez! These bastards that ship vitally important documents in _empty copy paper boxes_, instead of proper records storage boxes… it makes me so… oh, right.” Deedle-deedle-dee.
Thanks for that.

Wires? Coils? Paperclips? AAAHHH!!! _grabs her teddy bear_
Jesus, I have a mild UTI right now, and this is NOT making me feel better. Wait…this means they’re probably suffering more than me. And it’s funny. Never mind.
