Cock-stuffing, or "sounding" as it is called in the S&M community, involves inserting smooth, long, and thin surgical steel rods called "sounds" (hence the name "sounding") into a man's urethra. The two most commonly used "sounds" are the Van Buren, which has a J-shaped curve on the end, and the Dittle, which is straight. Other objects, such as thermometers, may do the trick, but metal sounds are recommended because they are easier to clean and have no chance of breaking when in use. While a glass thermometer may be readily available, the risk of breaking (and leaking harmful mercury) makes this a risky option.
Sounders use lots of lube, so the "sound" can easily slide in on its own (gentle guidance may be necessary; pushing or forcing can cause tearing of the fragile tissue). If you encounter a constriction in the urethra that the "sound" will not pass through (most likely scar tissue), do not try to drive it through. More lube and a narrower sound may be more safe and successful.
Saliva isn't generally recommended as a lubricant because it dries quickly (as you may have discovered already). Also, sugars from the mouth can be found in saliva that may cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Sugars also can be found in some types of lube, sometimes listed as glycerin in the list of ingredients. Ultimately, a water- or silicone-based, glycerin-free lube with a thin consistency will probably work best for "sounding." Silicone-based lubes are longer lasting, but water-based lubes may have a thinner consistency. However, some people find silicone-based lubes to be a bit harder to clean up. Men find what works by experimenting.
People enjoy using "sounds" for the pleasurable sensations felt while being inserted. They are also popular in the S&M community as a form of power exchange. Some of the curved "sounds" make getting an erection extremely difficult. If a penis starts to become erect, the person inserting the sound must wait until the erection subsides before continuing. Often sounds are locked into place so that a submissive partner cannot get an erection.
The main risks with "sounding" include tearing or cutting the urethra and infection. Anything inserted into the urethra is to be cleaned to reduce the chance of infection. Some discomfort may be felt later if the sound has stretched the urethra. If that happens, people use smaller "sounds." Some men also feel burning when urinating, due to irritation. If the feeling continues for an extended period of time, the urinary tract may have become infected. If this occurs, or if there is blood in the urine, the person needs to see a health care provider. For those who use sounds, being open and honest with the provider is vital, in order to discuss alternatives for avoiding infection if they plan to continue "sounding."
Just because you "don't do it often" doesn't mean you needn't do it safely each time. Leave the thermometers, with the risk of broken glass and mercury poisoning, behind and invest in a "steel" sound. They can be found at some adult toy stores or online.

I like the double ended Hegars... they are gently curved... matching the curve of my erection.
The ones with eh J shaped end are just awkward as hell.
One thing Neck did not mention... they come in various sizes and lots of guys into sounding want to stretch their urethra to accommodate larger sounds. If so, proceed slowly.
Always star with a smaller sound, Even it its only been a day or so, you will find it easier to get the smaller one in intially...and, after you are relaxed and comfortable, move up ONE sound size at a time.... Do not force a larger sound down... while you may be able to go up a size or two in a single session... do not move up to a larger size until you find you can Start a sounding session comfortably with the next size up.
Also... you want to be careful... you can literally lose a sound... it can slide up pretty far- well inside the cock and into the bladder.
You generally do NOT want to introduce sounds into the bladder as it may impair function of the urinary sphincter, and significantly increases the danger of a bladder infection.
If you also happen to have a PA or apadravya piercing- then you can get something called a Prince's Wand... Which is a sound held in place by a stud thru the piercing.
Unlike true sounds, Prince's wands are usually drilled thru their length, which enable you to both piss and cum with the sound in place. They are generally custom made to order and can be as wild as your imagination.

i have seen a few videos on xtube of guys doing sounding. it totally creeps me out - can't stand to even watch it, much less do it myself.
The idea of stuffing rods up my tool don't do anything for me personally, but I hear that when the urethra is opened up with the sound, you throw your load a lot farther cause the pipe is already stretched.
ONLY use real sounding rods, and sterilize them before you start playing. Anything else and you are just begging for a trip to the doctors.

Yes, sounding can go into prostate and even into the bladder if you like the way it feels. Here are some photos showing me using the Hegar style of sound:
