I'm not so sure about the "shock value" argument posted above. I read some of the articles over at the bmezine.com website and no one talks about that. It gets them high... I guess it's that some of them get off that way. I certainly don't know the whole story.
I myself find it terribly odd. I don't understand it one bit. I honestly don't even consider piercings to really be modifications. To me, they are just adornment. Split tongues, cutting off the head of your dick... voluntary amputations... now that is a modification.
To each his own, man. I'm gonna gonna judge. I just wonder what they will think of themselves when they are 60. Maybe they won't think anything. Dunno.
