Jewellery that incorporates sounds into them are the Prince’s Wand, which incorporates a longer sound, and a Pound Puppy, which uses a shorter sound and more piercings. Sounding is done for pleasure purposes and also to expand and stretch and dilate the urethra. It can be inserted all the way through the shaft of the penis into the area between the scrotum and the anus, where the urethra is very close to the surface of the body. A sound is a long medical instrument with a rounded tip that is inserted into the urethra for stretching and stimulus purposes. Apparently it is most frequently used on male genitalia, but female genitalia can also be stimulated via the urethra in some people. Sounding is the act of using an instrument called a “sound” on the urethra. If you are queasy just reading about these modifications, I don’t recommend following the links. That being said, I only linked to some of the more sensitive images because I didn’t request permission to put them in here. These are body modifications that I was unaware of until today, and I think a lot of our readers are similarly interested in the extremes of physical modifications. Our body is our only true possession, and I fully believe in the right to choose what we want to do with it. Let me be clear – I am not an expert on body modifications, nor am I judging any people who choose to do this to their bodies. Today I wanted to explore some of the more unusual body modifications that are practiced by thousands of people worldwide, but that still live in the underground, and usually underpants. But even as society has re-shaped its notions of how a human body can be customized, there are still many things that the masses are uncomfortable with, and even consider deviant. Plastic surgery has risen out of the secretive shadows and become something to aspire to publicly. As body modification has become more popular, and even mainstream, tattoos and piercings no longer challenge our norms the way they used to in past decades. One practice that fascinates me is the extreme body modifications – they push the boundaries of what aesthetics are acceptable in society, and sometimes even what is acceptable for human beings.

#Tunnel plug tumblr full#
In the event of flooding, the plug would rapidly inflate, holding back a tunnel full of floodwater, keeping citizens and the transit system assets safe. The RTP, made from a liquid crystal polymer called Vectran®, was developed to provide security to transit systems as protection from flooding, primarily in subways, in the event of a terrorist attack or natural disaster. "The big problem wasn't just designing the plug, but ensuring it could be stored without interfering with trains passing through their tunnels." "This is one of those things where we had an idea that was pretty simple but we needed to take that concept to reality," PNNL engineer Greg Holter said. It's kind of like a large balloon, but infinitely stronger. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory helped develop the Resilient Tunnel Plug in partnership with ILC Dover and West Virginia University for the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate. The live demonstration continued with the plug holding back simulated floodwater at 11.5 pounds per square inch pushing against it.
Full inflation is complete in less than 12 minutes. As the video shows, in under five minutes it is nearly filled with pressurized air - creating a flexible but extremely strong barrier. A giant, inflatable structure designed to prevent flooding in subways was rolled out, literally, for media observers inside a full-scale, mock subway tunnel.
