Some medications are very hard on peripheral veins, like some chemotherapies or antibiotics and a central line is useful for administering them. Also, giving large volumes of fluid, obtaining frequent blood samples, and giving multiple medications are other reasons we use central lines. Central lines can also be used to measure vascular pressures.

Can a person get addicted to wearing a urinary catheter?

I have a urinary catheter fetish. I wear a foley catheter and drainage bag as often as socially possible. I love the feeling of having my urethra constantly stimulated, and when walking briskly I can feel the end of the catheter stimulating the inside of my bladder. I have so many involuntary orgasms a day, I can't even begin to count them. When I am not wearing a catheter, I physically and emotionally crave the feeling of having one inside of me. I feel that I have become addicted to the stimulation of wearing a urinary catheter.
