'''Sounds''' are smooth medical instruments designed to enlarge the urethra.  In a non-medical setting they are used both for urethral stretching, and (more commonly) for highly pleasurable stimulation. It's nothing like a urethral swab.
'''[[Shawn Porter|Shawn Porter Collection]]''' (or '''SPC''') was a sistersite to [[BME]] which dubbed itself "extreme anthropology." It began online in [[1995]] at about the same time it inherited the [[Jack Yount Collection]], but had been archiving hard copy materials for much longer, of course.


Sounds need to be cleaned. They can pass disease from user to user if they are being shared. Even if they are not being shared, they can easily lead to bladder infections if not properly cleaned. Ideally, an autoclave should be used, but alternate cleaning includes 10% bleach solutions and pressure cookers.
The site's primary focus was on heavier modification, but was also a full-spectrum site. It delved into history and contained profiles on a number of significant figures in the body modification world. SPC was instrumental in the launch of [[BME/Extreme]], and Shawn helped write most of the early extreme body modification [[FAQ|FAQs]] for BME, and worked with BME on a variety of fronts, including hosting [[ModCon]].

Urethral sounds come in a variety of styles, and are used in slightly different ways:
 
* '''Dittel sounds''' have a flat end and a rounded end.
* '''Hegar sounds''' have two rounded ends, are fairly short, and are mildly curved in shape. Hegar sounds are typically the least expensive sounds on the market, and a number of companies online (including [[BMEshop|BMEshop]]) sell them in full sets of eight for as little as $40 - $60. These sets usually consist of slightly curved double-ended sounds starting at small sizes suitable for beginners, right up to absolutely monstrous thumb-sized sounds, for those more experienced people. These sounds are the most safe and comfortable for the female anatomy.
* '''Henk sounds''' have a more pronounced curve at the ends, as well as a metal rib on each end.
* '''Pratt sounds''' are longer urethral dilators (double ended ones are usually almost a foot long) with rounded and slightly bent ends. Many men enjoy them for sounding.
* '''Van Buren sounds''' have a very pronounced curve at each end, specifically for the purpose of reaching the [[Bladder|bladder]].

SPC-1.jpg

Shawn Porter Collection (or SPC) was a sistersite to BME which dubbed itself "extreme anthropology." It began online in 1995 at about the same time it inherited the Jack Yount Collection, but had been archiving hard copy materials for much longer, of course.

The site's primary focus was on heavier modification, but was also a full-spectrum site. It delved into history and contained profiles on a number of significant figures in the body modification world. SPC was instrumental in the launch of BME/Extreme, and Shawn helped write most of the early extreme body modification FAQs for BME, and worked with BME on a variety of fronts, including hosting ModCon.
