And time for an update....
9 months later....
Just tonite, I sized up to a 6 gauge, 3/4" CBR. I happened to be in the Big City when I learned that I was getting a tax refund, so I dropped the $35 for it as a celebratory thing. I had been wearing an 8 gauge circular barbell since September, and the piercing had been getting looser as time went on. Loose enough, that if I pinched the "normal" hole closed, I could get leakage from the "added" hole.
My first stretch from the original 10 gauge to 8 was a bit of a flop at first, as I purchased an inferior piece from a local place. The metal wasn't up to par, and wasn't even polished very good. After having that in for 2 weeks, it REALLY started to hurt and scared me enough to take it out and put the 10 gauge back in. Lesson learned, my next 8 gauge piece was from a more reputable place, and after dealing with stretching it again, it was much more comfortable.
It might be worth mentioning that most piercers recommend that you eat something before coming in to get pierced. I'd like to add that is also good advice before doing a stretch. My first attempt at my my second piece of 8 gauge jewelry was thwarted by me nearly passing out! I had to lay down for several minutes and had the cold sweats for a while. I put my old piece back in and got the new one in the next night, AFTER eating dinner.
At any rate, tonight I followed my above advice, and proceeded to soak my member in slightly hotter than warm water to loosen him up, and applied a liberal amount of lube and patience. About 20 minutes later, I was sporting my new piece with little more than a dull ache. But it was soooo worth it! It looks really proportionate, not some skinny wire, but not this big-assed car rim looking thing hanging there either. I'm gonna let it settle in for a week or before I can report on how it feels, but I think I'm going to enjoy the weight of it giving me that little extra tingle now and then.
As far as sex goes, yes it does change things a bit. But it's not incredibly notable. Some report that it does magic for sensation, and I imagine that it's true for some. But in my case, while it does add some sensation to the head of my dick, it really isn't a "WOW!!!!" thing, just, well, different. I will say that it is VERY cool having the ring flicked by the tongue or fingers of a willing partner. It adds to the experience immensely, but I suspect that it is more a mental thing than physical.
Mentally, I still find it cool to think to myself that I've done something that most guys would cringe at. I do look at it in the mirror now and again and think that it looks good. And when I think about that ring being played with by the wife.... Schwing!!!! So if the question is "would you do it again?", the answer would most definitely be "YES! In a heartbeat!"
