Penis piercings?
 

How many of you gals feel about this? Do you like it or not?


(I checked the search thing to see if a thread like this was already out, couldn't find one.)

My current GF has said that any guy who gets a prince albert is "fucking stupid".

That would scare the crap outta me. I think I'd run in the other direction if I ever encountered that!

I'll just say I felt it once,,,,, I will not forget it for a lonnng time..... and no I dont have a tongue peircing.

i was with a guy with one once. ... i didnt expect for it to be nice.. but, it was. :-)

i seem to run into two different opinions generally..

either the person is completely disgusted by the idea and refuse to even do anything with the individual...

the other opinion is one of absolutely loving it. They love the way it feels and will gladly jump in the sack with someone who has it.

i think the only reason some people have such a problem with it is just the idea of the piercing and not actually how it may feel. It is the same thing with the clit piercing it seems like, although the guy usually wouldn't care less if his girlfriend had one or not (as far as refusing to fool around due to it)

I try very hard to keed sharp objects away from mine.

All I can say is why would you want to hurt your manhood. It's just SICK!!! Think if they screwed up and your dick was 2 inches shorter because of it. I don't know why anyone would want to risk it.

I completely agree with you there. I would never get my penis pierced, call me a wussy. I don't really understand why anyone would do that.

Sigh.

People do not get anything pierced to 'hurt themselves' (at least, the majority don't).

Reasons for piercing include aethetics, stimulation (sexual or otherwise) and body claiming.

For example, male genital piercings are so common in India that some women won't even consider you for a sexual partner unless you have the requisite ah...hardware.

I really wish people would do some reading before they scream "SICK!!!".

There is something intimidating, i think, about jabbing something pointy through a bit of anatomy they've been taught to guard with their lives. sick is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, looks a bit uncomfortable, dunno how I feel about bits of metal bumpin' up against MY tender bits. BUT, it's not my cock, so do with it what you will.

I know a piercer who did his own PA. He had to quit half way through and wait for an hour to finish it. He said it was probably the worst 3 hours of his life.

I need a Prince Albert like I need an infected scrotum. :p

my ex had one when he was younger said it got infected alot and hurt, i would be afraid it would come out in me but at the same time if he did have one at the time i bet it would have inspired one hell of an orgasm.

Well i am going to get one in the next six months or so.
(Going to get my toungue pierced this tuesday, then when it's about healed i'm doing my nipple and when the both of them are healed, i'll do the one down there.)
It's not going to be a prince albert for purely practical purposes: I dont want to sit down to pee for the rest of my life.
In stead i am going to get a (perhaps more later) Frenum ( http://piercing-info.dk/billeder/frenum.jpg ).
Most girls i've talked with about it agree that it's fucking stupid.
That is, untill i talk a bit further with them about it, after a while they agree it's a turnon for them.
Perhaps its just me, or the girls i talk to.I dont know, but most girls seem to like it, even more so after having tried having sex with a guy that had his penis pierced. Hehe.

I'll pass on this one. but to each his own.

So, girls, if you've had sex with a guy with a pierced penis, explain to me why it feels better (if it does).

I have my penis pierced. I got a frenum piercing. I really liked getting it done. It was freaky to have a needle that close to my penis, but since it isn't that radical a piercing I didn't think it was such a big deal.

All the girls I have had sex with since I got it haven't said anything bad about it. Some were freaked out when they first saw it, but they liked the way it felt.

I would be too instinctively afraid to get one. I would be too afraid of it being ripped out, too. Rarely piercings look good to me, usually none on the penis.

DAMN! there is NO way im getting a needle even CLOSE to my dick. Then again thats just me...just not my style

PM galaxygirl and ask her how she likes mine.

hmm...i too know a guy who did his own prince albert--with no anesthetic/ice/anything--and who got an ampalang without anesthetic (but went to have it done professionally--he said he flopped around like a fish when it went through). it was about being the owner of his body for him, i think, and testing boundaries...with himself and others. he's in the process of gauging them out right now. and yeah, it felt good...the PA hit my g-spot from behind--a cold metal feeling through the latex = good times. it actually became a bit uncomfortable for me and for him (for me because it was an intense sort of stimulation and because he's sortof wide anyhow...and for him because the piercings were being stretched), so we took the piercings out for most of our playtime...but it was definitely interesting to give head with them in. also, i got to take part in his body in a way i wouldn't have if he weren't pierced--got to take the piercings out and put them back in...it's like another couple pieces of clothing, i guess--another preparation leading to fun...like unwrapping candy. mmm...candy...i've been toying with the idea of getting a tongue piercing and a piercing someplace else, but i'm not sure where...also, i'm allergic to almost every kind of metal--even surgical steel gives me trouble at times...but that's off topic. so yeah, piercings can be good. great, even. hehe.

Actually a huge majority of them do get pierced to hurt themselves, though they don't believe they do it for that reason. They are the same people who were cutters as a kid, and they take it to the next level with piercings, tats, etc. Not saying all do it though, just a good portion of them.


Someone get more ladies to post, I wana know how it feels to them. I know I'd never get it pierced but this guy claims every girl loves it...I told him they most likely fake it.

Some things were ment to be left just the way they are. What will it look like when you are 40?

I guess that it's just the equivalent of a clit piercing...and i know a girl who has her clit pierced & fuckin loves it...

But as far as putting a piece of metal THROUGH my penis...that's....that's just wrong :-(

Im getting a frenum as soon as i can ..
My piercer did all of his penis piercings, he has about 4 now i think.

He tried to do the reversed PA, (into urinpipe, and upwards through the head) .. He did the hole, but couldn't instert the jewel .. Couldn't keep his head cold ..

Anyways .. Im looking very forward to it. Gonna be my 5th piercing :)

Piercings just gross me out, period. To me they look disgusting, be it on the lip, tongue, nose, cock, eyeball, hymen....whatever. Not for me, nuh uh.

I guess anal sex is out of the question when you get your jimmy pierced? I'd imagine infection would be a problem...

My goal is to leave this world with the same number of holes i was born with. :cool:

Some of you guys are WANTING "it" pierced? :eek:

Maybe it's time for the businessman vs airport security story! :p :lol:

Personally I think any SANE guy would shy away from putting sharp objects near his member or family jewels. Now if he had, then I think more than likely it either occured in a moment of bravado or drunkeness. Neither of which I like and if it happened once it can happen again so NO. I wouldn't like to go with him or even just have plain old fuck buddy sex. I would just be kinda learly of loosing something or getting poked or pinched by it where ever it was. Jewelry on other parts of the body than the most common doesn't usually appeal to me. It's more of a distraction. Just gimme a guy who knows how to touch a woman and I don't care if he's overweight (not rolls of it of course), short, or bald (I love bald guys anyway) and I'm a happy woman.

Ouch! Damn. No way. I wouldnt want a guy to get that just cause ladies might like it better. Not for me anyways, id feel so sorry for your little guy I wouldnt want to touch him- He might fizzel in pain.:( Leave him alone is my suggestion.

I dunno... the whole PA thing sounds pretty crazy. I saw a guy with one once and he loved showin it around, kinda wierd, but I guess some ppl are proud of it.

I've got mine pierced just over a year and half now. It was a bit weird gettin pierced but as having nails dug into my back, it felt somewhat sensual, there was minor bleeding, and bear in mind it is merely a piece of skin that gets pierced, (just membrane, no cartilege). This means, it barely hurts, still weird though! It bleeds when you pee for about 5 days, and then you're fine.

As for the benefits, as a man.... You know that climatic feeling you getting inside the shaft just before you come? It's a milder variation of that with every thrust, stroke, lick... It doesnt make you any shorter, or any longer for that matter, but it can definitely make you feel that bit more confident, which is a lot more important...

As for the benefits, as a woman, well, i dunno, you really just gotta try it to see... some like, some dont, most do.

Piercings are great, and the sooner people can accept them as part of our modern culture the better. They've always been around, and they certainly will remain for a while yet. Calling them "sick", "masochistic" and "disgusting" isnt really going to get you anywhere. If it's your cup of tea, go for it, but don't slam what you know nothing about about, one day maybe you'll find out....

Altheus: Love the post. Love the way you expressed those pain feelings.

People out there, please stop saying that people that get themself pierced are insane people. I will tell you this.
Every time after i had my piercings made, I was SO much clearer about what was going on around me. Nothing was a problem.

Normally i describe this short feeling as the feeling you have after you meditate. You feel at total peace, and you feel great! ..
I love that feeling of greatness glowing around you, that you managed to push your limits even further.

I LOVE getting pieced, the thrill of sitting there, waiting for the pinch .. It gets my adrenaline going! ..

I'm considering an Apadravya.

A piercing right through the glans, top to bottom.

I already have a tongue piercing, and that wasn't painful at all, though i'd heard allsorts of tales about it being terrible...

Njet.

I like the look of my tongue piercing, and i like the reaction from that special lady when it's function is enacted...

;)

It's the same with the apadravya, i like the look and i like the idea of the function and reaction... except this time there should be extras in it for me, as well as her (apart from the mental kick of seeing her get off, that is)...

I've not booked in to get it done, but i've been thinking about it for quite a time...

actually, i might get a nipple done as well.

I like piercings.

;)

i have always wanted to get it pierced..but have always just been afraid of jamming a needle thru my favorite body part=\

Look through the tales on the bmezine site :

http://www.bmezine.com/

they're pretty candid, telling you what can go wrong etc, but on the whole I was left with the impression that there ain't nothing but a momentary pain to be afraid of.

And a whole new world of, err, discovery to be, err, discovered.

:)

I've only experienced this once and it was nothing especially memorable. The guy had a huge piercing and I didn't really feel any different, but I suspect it was because he was wearing a condom. Maybe I just have less nerves down there, though, because his ex claims it made all the difference in the world even with a condom on.
He had some pretty funny stories about his piercing, though. It was big enough for him to attach a bottle opener to his cak. So at parties, if someone asked to open a beer, he'd stick the bottle down his pants, open it, and give it back to them. He would do this for several people. If they asked how he did it, he would just say he has a very durable penis. Everyone would be dumbfounded. It was quite amusing.
The other thing about penile piercings is that aiming for the toilet can become a bit of a challenge sometimes. One of my other friends who is also pierced, used to take out his piercing and pee into the urinal in front of him as well as a nearby urinal just to mess with the minds of other men in the bathroom.

Let's bump this.. I've been throwing the idea around for about a month now.. I'm still looking into possible adverse effects.. And trying to figure out why I really want one..

Basically I'm looking for input from any one who has one or has experience with some one who has one.

All of these your talking about are nothing compared to what my friend did. He was really into piercings, guages and the like, but he also did surgical steel implants. He had numerous piercings in his dick as well as surgical steel ball bearings under the skin, as well as having his dick permanently ribbed for her pleasure by cauterizing them in with a soldering iron. Everyone thinks it sounds extremely painful and kinda sick, but from talking to his gf and another girl I know that slept with him, they had absolutely no problem with it. So to each his own, me only got my ears done, thinkin about getting my eyebrow & tounge pierced, nothing down there though for me.

Lebell... thank you for the dose of sanity. Your reply was (as always) nicely balanced.

I have an ampallang (it is the piercing the goes through the head horizontally). I had it done about 12 years ago.

I had it done after reading RE:Search Modern Primitives. After I saw pictures of various piercings I just couldn't get the idea of getting on out of my mind. I thought about it and it just seemed like the right thing to do (and I thought about it for at least a year before I did it).

I booked the appointment and was nervous but resolved to follow through. The pain of the actual piercing was little compared to the "discomfort" of the clamp used to bring the two sides closer together. It was over before I knew it.

Needless to say I was very happy with the experience and the end result. It was a very "spiritual" event for me (for lack of a better word). It marked me internally as well as externally.

In part, I viewed it at the time as a coming of age "ritual". Much as youth in other cultures must in endure to "reach" manhood. I'm not sure I see it that way now but then that was 12 years ago...

My girlfriend at the time was not overly supportive at first but I was resolved to get it and she grew to appreciate it in a fashion (besides she gave me a blow job in the parking lot before I went in to do the deed... she wanted to be the last to mess with my unpierced penis... :) )

Someone posted above, what are you going to look like when you are 40? Well, I am 35 (almost 36) now and I'd say I look like a guy who had his dick pierced (that is if you actually see me naked otherwise what are you a peeping Tom?). The way I see it, it was something that was important to me at that time in my life. If I grow and change into a person that no longer wants to wear jewlery in my penis all I have to do is take it out (much as I did with my various earings when I was in my late 20s). Try doing that with a tattoo...

A Robo-dick isn't my idea of fun. I won't say it's sick, but man, sounds scary to me.

I have to admit, I'm curious as to what it would feel like...but I'd also be a little worried about it either coming off in me, or having one end come off and then getting all cut up...ouch! I assume that's not something that would normally happen, but just the thought makes me a little wary...

No it isn't something that normally happens. The screwed on end stays on very tight... Just ask yourself how many barbells you see falling off various piercings...

metal objects that are sharp are to stay a long ways away from big jim and the twins... one word comes to mind when i hear this... "ouch"

What are you looking into getting? whatever you decide, make sure you research it and find out all you can about it.




with my frenum, it is wise to tighten the barbell ends at least dailly, because i went a couple days without tightening it, and next thing I knew, while showering, the end came off. so as long as the ends are tightened beforehand, all is good.

I'm only a few weeks into having my apadravya done... An ap' is a bar straight through the middle of the glans, top to bottom - a sort of Prince Albert and Reverse Prince Albert in one.

I just had to try it out a little, didn't i? of course i did.

"Ooh, ooh, thats a bit strange" she said as I entered her.

Then her eyes opened wide and her mouth expanded into a broad smile "It's Fucking Staying." Followed by many expletives and joyful exclamations on the subject new sensations and bits of her she didn't know she had.

Those kindof died away midway into the first stroke, but came back with avengeance as i got towards a full stroke.

I now believe in the "U spot" as well as the G (I think thats what its called). The piercing being deep inside her was so good, it was all she wanted and left her pretty speechless.

I know i shouldn't have, it hurt a good whack, but I did it and all seems well.

So there.

Me - well pleased with my new addition.

Those there 'deep dydoes' look pretty damn good to me as well... Hmm... :)

ahhhhhhhh I can barely LOOK at a needle let alone even think about piercing myself ESPECIALLY my most prized possesion. Mad props to those of you with monstrous balls who brave this penis piercing stuff; y'all have some strength I just can't posses. Nothing will ever pierce that thing; lmao.

Why would you go through the pain, ouchhhhh!!!

i got a question for those of you with a Prince Albert. I am goin 2 be getting one but wanted to know if this makes you cum faster or does it do nothing like that. Reason i ask is because well there is a needle that is going thru your penis and if it had any effect for it, or would it be normal after it heals like if you didn't have it. Just wondering.

I personally would never pierce any part of me, cos I'm scared it would hurt.

It does hurt, but not all that much.

And if you're really, really stressed at the thought of the pain, the whole area can be numbed with topical anaesthetic.

You might have to go to a different city (local authority regs vary in the uk) to use pain numbing type stuffs, but the option is there.

I know you can get anaesthitis in nottingham. I know you can't in liverpool.

If the pain is the only thing that bothers you... Man...

Do you ever buy new shoes?

I have a prince albert.

The experience of getting my penis pierced was pretty cool. I think of it as a mind over matter kind of thing. There is nothing to be scared of, its really just super intense.

My girlfriend LOVES it.

We regularly engage in anal sex, and all sorts of other kinky fun activities with no issues at all. Mine is a rather large piercing too, I pierced with a 10g and am at an 8g size right now. It was totally worth it.

I sure as hell didn't get my nips peirced for the pain. I don't know where you get your research (link perhaps?). And I also wasn't a "cutter" as a child.

Back to the penises (Peni?). I'm a fan of the Ampellang (whatever it's called), the one where the barbell goes verticle through the head of the penis. That's hot :)

I had my nipple pierced, but nothing any lower than that. To each his own, but the idea of driving a sharp steel object through ANY part of my penis makes me want to cry and curl up into the fetal position. I like my penis, and I want to keep it in as close to Mint condition as possible :P

Have you ever thought of how much punishment your penis takes day to day? Its rubbing clothes, it gets basically pummeled when you have sex or masterbate. It can handle a huge amount of stress.

When I got my penis pierced, I merely looked at it as another body part. It takes pain just like the rest of me does. In fact, my prince albert hurt less than my nipples did when I got them pierced.

I did not pierce for the sake of pain or self punishment. I think of it as personal evolution, and being above the contraints of fear over my body's limitations.

apadravya is the vertical one, amphallang is the horizontal one

:orly:

HYMEN? I thought they only got "pierced" once.

Womens earrings are nice. Nipples are borderline. The rest usually make me wonder if why a person would do that to themselves.

As a person that was caught up in peer pressure as a youngster, I am hugely ANTI-PEER PRESSURE/ANTI-FAD. I seem to have become an old fuddy-duddy.

:)

My sweetie and I recently saw a porn where the guy had a Prince Albert piercing. After that we went on a trip to Vegas and I got "selected" at the airport for a thorough scanning by the metal detector.

And I got to thinking: What do these guys do with their big piercings when they get scanned? The thorough scanning bleeps on every little piece of metal including the smallest zippers. I am sure a big bleep part way down the leg would warrant some investigation? What do they do? Pull it out and show it off? :lol:

It's possible to get plastic jewelry for the one's intimate mutilations.

I travel quite a bit and I've never had a problem with mine.

I doubt much would happen. They'd wave the wand over your crotch and at worst they might pat you down...

If you are really concerned, as tisonlyi suggests, go plastic.

That would have to be some serious peer pressure to pierce your penis... I can just see it... There you are with all your pals showing each other their newly pierced dicks... So Boo, when are you going to become one of us? Only losers don't get their cocks stapled... you don't want to be a loser do you? :D

No one I knew was into piercing more than their ears when I had my ampallang done...

any decent piercer will know you cannot use acrylic jewelry until your piercing is full healed and then some. something to do with acrylic and leaking toxins into a fresh piercing is a bad thing.

lol.. k well my one friend.. has both his ears pierced twice.. tongue 4 times.. YES 4 times.. looks like a diamond.. lip pierced, both nipples, 3 in his belly button.. has a PA and a reverse PA.. also a tatoo of his name in devil hands surrounded in flames taking up the good portion of his upper back..

Who mentioned acrylic?

PTFE and PMFK are completely inert forms of plastic that are entirely suitable for the job of replacing metal in either healing or healed piercings.

Cripes... Saying plastic and jumping to the conclusion of acrylic is like mentioning metal and immediately jumping to the conclusion of lead.

*rolls eyes*

Piercings! Piercings!

PANIC, PANIC!

oh yea sorry for trying to let people know that one of the plastic types of jewelry can be toxic. this is why i dont bother to try helping anybody out. the minute you try to tell people the one they could possibly choose can be harmful someone has to bitch. thank you very much

[edit]
once you decide to get off your high horse you will also note that there are more places selling acrylic jewelry than there are lead.
[/edit]

well, if you only want to point to the negatives, then expect to be corrected.

Wooooaaaw, dobbin.

*strokes high horse's neck*

:orly:

Acrylic is plastic, you mentioned plastic, you didn't specify yourself. You didnt give people any options, and just because I decided to give people a warning, you preach about being corrected? Obviously we know about piercings and the jewelry, but the people who read and want advice, may vary in knowledge of what is what. So by me saying acrylic is bad for new piercings, wouldnt you want to know about the negatives of certain jewelry? Wouldnt that be considered helping them from choosing acrylic and later getting an infection? So what if I didn't mention the other types of plastic jewelry, well neither did you when you said use plastic. So I do not know where you get that I needed to be corrected, since you did not specify anything different about acrylic jewelry.

Goodness me.

Plastic is a very broad range. Just pointing to one type of plastic and saying "DANGER!" without mentioning that other types are fine is worthy of correction.

It was the phrasing of your warning that made me blow up. I shouldn't of. My bad on top of your bad.

All apologies.

If you wanted to warn you have gone withsomething like "hey, plastic can be cool, but watch out for acrylic. Specifically, make sure you don't put acrylic into a healing wound - it can turn nasty. There are plenty of other types of plastic jewelry which are completely fine though. Buy your stuff from a piercing establishment, not from ma'n'pa's house of novelties."

Granted, I should have said something like that myself.

Let's get this topic going again. I am thinking about getting a PA. My wife is kind of worried about what it will feel like for her when we have sex. Anybody have any more thoughts or opinions on this? Thanks.

I agree with your GF. I'd add Amphallang, Dydoe, Frenum, Guiche, Hafada and Lorum to that list as well. In other words, don't mess with the meat.

Last night, I tied up my subby's pierced outer labia's (one ring in each) to a leash that was attached to my bed post and then entered her with my duel pierced manhood.. The kink, the power, the control, the fetish and the pure heat of the friction sensations had her coming and coming until she couldn't think straight..... It has taken us about two months of waiting for this moment because that when subby had her love lips done, and I added my top gland peicing....Worth it? Having a vagina leeched up and engaged in intercourse while saying naughty things to her....You betcha! 1000 times over.

I was pierced before we met and subby always thought about it, I just made her wish cum true, and without a single regret. This has been the best single sexual enhancement we could of made.
Mine turn her on and hers turns me on, and that bottom line is what its all about.

Now that does sound hot! I love dominance and control play - but do not think it requires piercings to be enjoyed. As long as you both dig it, however, it's all good.

I finally got the nerve to get this done. Went to both Piercing places in town and neither perfrom this piercing.. They do perform labia and hood piercings so go figure.. Now I have to plan a trip downstate to get it done.. Very diasspointed..

I'm going to get a PA this weekend. Any tips before I go? What should I wear? Boxers or briefs?

I'm thinking about getting a jacob's ladder. Three bars on top, three on the bottom..

I know exactly why people do it, and when I think about it, I still cringe. I am NEVER (probably never) voluntarily sticking any sharp object through my penis.

For whoever said that the "majority" of people get pierced to hurt themselves: no, just no. There are SOME people who do. And in that case, it can be a much safer means of expressing the desire to feel pain than a self-inflicted (NON-STERILE) cut. However, most people (myself included) do not get pierced for the pain. This is evidenced by the fact that the most common question I hear hanging around the tattoo shop is "Is this gonna hurt?" when someone comes in for a piercing.

Back on topic: I'm not pierced below the neck yet, but I just ordered 2 12Ga barbells (Anatometal!) and some 12Ga. Industrial Strength needles. I'm thinking it's time to do a double frenum! I've decided to do this one by myself, since I feel uncomfortable with most local piercers, and I can be sure of the quality of needles and jewelry this way, whereas most local parlors don't use jewelry that meets my personal standards for quality and finish.

Once I get it done and (hopefully someday) have a chance to test it out, I'll report back here with my "findings". :)

For all of you wondering about airports and travelling... If a tongue piercing doesn't go off in a metal detector, I'd almost be willing to bet large sums of money that a penis piercing wouldn't either.

I've had my tongue pierced since April of 2001, and I have since travelled via the airways at least ten to fifteen times - the only time I've gone off is when I left my cell phone or keys in my pocket like a dumbass.

Plus, if you get your penis pierced, I'd almost be willing to bet AGAIN that your zipper would create a false positive before a penis piercing would.

I've never really thought hard about getting the man downstairs pierced, but I found that the tongue wasn't nearly as painful as widely assumed - it simply felt like a shot at the doctor's office. Although, now that I'm hearing about all these women loving it so much... :D

Nah, probably still wouldn't. But major props to those who do.

I can't say it's something I'll be getting done in a hurry, and I doubt my wife will be disappointed to hear it.
I suspect the only expletives I would hear from her would be in laughter, not passion :)

nothing in the world could ever convince me to pierce my penis, nothing.

Here are some answers to common questions.

No it didnt hurt getting them done
No it doesnt hurt now
No I didnt do it to hurt myself, I dont like pain
No I dont have to sit down to pee
Yes I can pee with a straight stream
Yes there is more and better sensation
Yes I last longer
Yes my ex liked the feeling of it
I have three pa's

I had this done when I was 18. It was the apadravya style, where the barbell vertically bisects the head of the penis. I am 25 now, and my piercing days are LONG over [grew out of it]. Still, I thought I would share MY experience with this.
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to have sex with it.
Did it hurt? Yes, it hurt.. of course! It was not half as painful as a septum [bull-ring in the nose] piercing, though. It's much more painful than a tongue piercing, but about the same amount of pain as a nipple. I work with many people who are younger than me, and whenever something like that comes up in idle conversation, I like to interject my experience on the whole thing. Often, people really tend to cringe when they think about it, but if they had ever experienced it, they wouldn't cringe.
Actually being pierced is a little awkward if you don't think of it in a medical or artistic way.. because someone's going to be handling your goods. Once you get past that, you're alright.
They mark it, lightly "clamp" it, they tell you that they are going to push the needle on three [but they actually do it as soon as or RIGHT after they say "two", so you don't flinch and REALLY mess yourself up]. Well, I feel the pain and they tell me that the needle is only halfway through.. and I look down just in time to see the needle push the rest of the way through the top of the head of my penis. At that point I sigh in relief.. but I forget that technically I am only halfway through the piercing, as the barbell has to go back through the other way, to take place of the needle. Well, it happens. It just *happens*. They wrap the tip up with a large surgical glove and some medical tape. It's all paid for, I'm out the door, and I'm not walking funny. So far, so good.
The next day when I woke up, my boxers had a bit of blood on them. I was very nervous about urinating for the first time, and I found out that it was with good reason - it burned! It burned badly the first three times, I remember. After that, it was alright. I just cleaned it regularly, inspected it and was generally careful. Cleaning was done with bactine and neosporin. It could ber painful, because I'd insert the little neosporin tube tip into my urethra and squeeze it in there, to get at it better on the inside.
Once in awhile, over time, it would get a LITTLE infected, but nothing that a little bactine wouldn't cure. You have to be VERY attentive to it for a few months. I don't take well to piercings - they need ALOT of attention and healing time, and close VERY quickly if taken out.
Eventually, I stretched, got larger barbells and saw where I ended up. Eventually I worked up to either a 6 or 4 gauge. I don't remember which - just that it was large. I took it out about 3 years ago, so I had it roughly 4 years.

If you want to get one, I wouldn't advise for or against it. Right now, my attitude towards the whole tattoo/piercing crowd is "Do what you want, but be prepared to deal with the consequences". You don't have to worry about visuals with genital piercings, as they stay hidden - but don't scream out "discrimination" because you can't get a decent job when you are full of ink and metal. :D

I have no idea how I would know why 'a huge majority' do it, but I can speak of myself. I haven't done it yet, but I'm thinking pretty hard about getting my nipples pierced, and it isn't to hurt myself. Here are some reasons I'm considering it:

1) Make changes to my body-image. I'm in recovery from growing up in an alcoholic home, which lead to dysthymia. One of the things I realized as I worked on my issues was that I had constrained myself deeply, to freeze my emotions and be someone I was not. (A great book on this subject is Why Men Don't Get Enough Sex and Women Don't Get Enough Love -- reading the sections on why men don't express feelings was like reliving emotional abuse). So, anyhow, the person I was "conditioned" to believe I was didn't think men could have any piercings at all; not manly. Getting pierced is a way of saying, "I'm not him; this is my life."

2) I like the way they look (on men and on women). I like the subtext, which is "notice me! I embrace my sexual self."

3) My nipples aren't that sensitive, and there is some chance it will increase sensitivity. If nothing else, it will give my wife's tongue more to suck.

Now, I'll concede that piercing my penis doesn't really appeal to me (yet, anyhow), but there may be perfectly great reasons why it is just the thing for someone else. I'm keeping an open mind...

I've never had sex with a guy who had a penis piercing but I have to say the very thought turns my stomach. Now, I'm by far not a prude or a narrow-minded person, it's just an immediate squeamish response to the thought of it. And where I live, I am surrounded by people with all kinds of piercings on a daily basis, so it's hardly a new idea. The closest I've come is when this guy I was casually dating announced he made an appointment to get a prince albert - I think he was trying to impress me or maybe it was a last-ditch effort to get me in the sack but it had the opposite effect.

My sister was seeing a guy who had some sort of penis piercing and ended up having to go to the doctor due to friction and trauma to the inside of her vagina and her cervix. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was there but she did describe some marathon sessions, hours and hours of sex so I'm sure that was a factor.

I have multiple holes in my ears and got my nose pierced but the thought of piercing a more sensitive area just absolutely curdles me. My nipples are sensitive and will remain intact. I have a hard time even thinking about a clit piercing without cringing. I worked with a woman who was into the pain aspect of piercing, mastering your own body, etc., and she described how she pierced her nipples and had pictures taken, going on and on about how cool the pictures were with blood running down her chest...my take on that is that life is painful enough without inflicting more. I've gone through some really intensely painful, hard times in life with my body and I'm all about comfort these days. Really I'm not a wimp and I might enjoy a little pain-type stimulation but I'd rather keep the metal out of it.

As for the issue of whether or not a piercing will set off a metal detector:

It'd have to be a really fuckin' huge piece of jewelry and a very sensitive metal detector.

I've been through several airports with 7/16" plugs in my ears (pretty huge chunks of metal) not to mention a labret stud and an eyebrow ring. I've never had them set off because of the piercings.

Just some observations i've made with my piercing.

When erect, any piercing like an apadravya, ampallang, pa, or dolphin do not have much material that's outside of the penis ie. 1/2 the barbell sticking out of the shaft. Usually there will just be the round end and maybe 1/8 an inch for breathing room.
This means it's just a bump on the penis, usually around the head. With an apadravya, the barbell will rub directly on the g-spot (that is if you find it) in missionary position. Doggie style or any other "reversed" position a Prince Albert will rub against it. If you can get deep enough, you can reach a spot right at the top of the vagina that is immensly pleasurable. I used to only be able to affect this "deep spot" when fingering, but with the added sensation of my apadravya piercing it's become easier to do it when fucking.

Blowjobs have gotten a lot better since I was pierced. It just feels so damn good when the girl plays with the piercing when sucking.

A fair portion of girls are wary of the peircing when they first see it. They ask silly questions like "what if it comes out while we're doing it" and "won't that hurt?" but curiosity has 100% won over each time and at the end so far every girl has loved it.

When I first got my piercing I felt an urge to "show it off" or talk (brag) about it. I think it was mostly because I got it to mark a turning point in my life. This urge has definetley gone away and I forget about it completely unless I have a boner, or when conversation turns toward piercings.

That's pretty much all I can think of for now. I'm happy with my piercing, I think there's been many positives to having it and few negatives (initial pain getting it).

of all the people that i've ever spoken to about it, i've found only one guy that actually wants to do it, and one girl that wants a guy to do it. the guy is already full of holes, and the chick wants a guy to do it because she got a hole on her clit.

I have a frenum piercing. Just a couple of points related to what I've read here:

I got mine last April. I had a bad breakup at the end of last year and she was fucking with my head at the time. I needed something to distract me and I felt like doing something extreme. This was something extreme but not actually harmful to myself or someone else.

I've only used it a handful of times, on my ex, and she was usually drunk (booty calls) so the feedback has not been really helpful, but she hasn't complained. No head yet. I look forward to my next relationship and giving it a fair workout.

I have an acrylic bar I bought just for airport metal detectors. At all other times I wear stainless steel. My piercer said the only problem with acrylic is it can break, and that'd be nasty.

You really don't notice it, although I have a habit of flicking mine thru my jeans while driving. Never pain tho, and it comes out and goes in easily so if someone didn't like it, I would just take it out during sex.

All in all, I love it. I love the way it looks. I love "letting it slip out" that I have it and women asking to see it. I'd do it again.

two words...

fuck no

If they do it in India and it's part of theire culture, then more power to them. I however, don't have to do worldwide research to tell you that there is no way in hell that anything sharp is coming anywhere near my dick.

Call it Americanism if you want, but that's my take.

It's gross... I hate piercings... Porn stars are using them too much... :lol:

Zipping myself into my pants is bad enough, but piercing is out of the question as far as I'm concerned. Infections in other places are bad enough, I'd rather not feel like fire ants are eating my dick. Plus, there's always the threat of gangrene.

If you take proper care of the piercing the chances of infection are pretty low... your penis comes in contact with the inside of your underwear.... theres tons of other piercings that are out exposed to all kinds of germs that dont get infected...
as for gangrene... you would have to let it go for a looooong time... id be really surprised if there were any documented cases of gangrene in a genital piercing...


ive been tossing the idea of getting an Apadravya around... prolly will eventually... just gotta get the money... and work up the balls to do it...

As someone who has never been a fan of genital piercings, and is absolutly repulsed by 90% of them, I have to say that as of recently, I'm a fan of frenums. There's not gross-looking, and they feel great :)

First of all why would you do it? And second, that would have to hurt like hell, it is bad enough when you get kicked in the balls let alone making a small hole in your dick.
