The Ultimate Piercing Question Thread!

Hey guys, I've been thinking about piercings in general lately, and I have a few questions - most of which have not been addressed from what I could see in my searching.

The piercings I'm considering are anything from bellybutton to nipples to clit, so each question applies to all of these unless it is more specific.

1) After it's healed, how hard is it to take out every now and then, and is it advisable? Especially with the bellybutton piercings, I've seen some pictures where a person has it out and the hole is REALLY obvious and, frankly, not that attractive. I would like to have the freedom - after it's healed of course - to take it out every now and then. Same with a clit or nipple piercing since I'll probably want to take those out every now and then too, but my biggest concern is the bellybutton piercing since I've specifically seen pictures of the hole looking bad in that instance.

2) Mainly with the bellybutton piercing, does it stretch if I were to get pregnant? (quite a ways down the line, don't worry! ) I'd hate if getting pregnant - being something I definitely want to do at some point in my life - was going to ruin the piercing or make it look bad if I were to take it out.

3) How likely is a loss in sensitivity? Obviously bellybutton is not an issue here, but nipples and clit are. A loss in sensitivity is a REALLY bad thing and I definitely wouldn't want that to happen.

Biggest thing of all this though is really question 1 and 2, since 3 is addressed in other places pretty often. I know SecretMethod70 likes variety and I do too. Sometimes he or I will be in the mood to have piercings, and sometimes we won't. Obviously while they are healing they'd have to stay in, but I would like to find out how easy/advisable/safe it is to take them out every now and then if I so choose.

Thanks for all your input!
