Ever had a urethral swab done during a physical examination? I never have, but I've always heard that they're uncomfortable, because the cotton swab is so dry. Of course, I've mostly heard that from people with penises who don't stick anything in that hole! Will it still be uncomfortable or painful for me, with my huge stretched urethra? Only one way to find out! Wearing blue exam gloves, I explore my urethral opening with swabs, even using two of them to stretch it open and look inside.
