Let's Talk About Piercings

[MensLegis]

I have long been a fan of body piercings - or at least seeing them on others. I have never experienced the process and I am curious about the procedure and day-to-day of living with the same. I am also curious about if and how it heightened your sexuality or sexual experience(s).

Those who have experience in this area, regardless of where or what was pierced (except ears) could you please shed some light on this topic?

Thanks in advance.

I've been pierced in numerous places for nearly 20 years. This includes a PA and an apadravya (twice). It has been a fun ride, and I would do it all again, but understand this: piercings may look sexy, but they do not enhance the sexual experience. Women liked them, liked to play with them, and were unanimous in saying they were uncomfortable during sex, and in the way when giving a bj.

I have sensitive nipples & when a cousin & his wife opened a tattoo & piercing parlor the idea of getting my nipples pierced really started growing on me. I eventually gave into the interest & my cousin's wife did the piercing & my daughter, who already had her nipples pierced, no I haven't seen them, held my hand because we were expecting pain. I though the clip the put on was going to be the worst of it putting the first one through went reasonably well. It was painful & I did squeeze my daughter's hand, but I held up. The second one was a different story. We joke now that my cousin's wife didn't think I reacted enough during the first one so she made me suffer for the second one. Wow! It seemed like she took forever getting through & was torturing me! But I did. Come to find out, my cousin, couldn't handle the pain after the first one & didn't get his second nipple done. LOL

I'll tell you more about after care & other things I have learned next time.

Looking forward to it. Thanks for the reply.

Ya think?

I appreciate you sharing. I would never think of getting something pierced that interfered with my sexual pleasure or with someone else's pleasure with me. I can see how a apadravya piercing could be both painful (during the process) and uncomfortable during sex.

My nipples were on fire for at least a day & tender for a month or more. Gong home from the tattoo parlor, the weight of my T-Shirt could sometime be intense. My wife gave me one of her pain pills. She has degenerative arthritis & fibromialsia. I sat around the rest of the day watching TV & had an uncomfortable time sleeping because I can't sleep well on my back.

For care, you get a can of saline solution & twice a day, you spray down your nipple, not sure if other piercings are the same or require more or less care. You also move the barbell (you start with a barbell piercing & can switch to rings after they heel) back & forth to keep the scab from forming on the piercing. You do this after care for a month or more. No washing with soap & water immediately. After a week or so & very gently at first. Even after a couple years, scabs can still form. Particularly after rough handling.

For me, my nipples have also been sensitive & they still are. I have since read people have different reactions to piercing. You can find the information on the internet. Some loose sensitivity. Some find sensitivity heightened. It is all going to depend on the individual & the place of piercing.

My nipples are almost always hard. I love it. I have to keep myself from playing with them sometimes in public through my t-shirts. They are too sensitive for other implements on them. I used to use clothes pins & a nipple clamp chain on them. Those are painful now. I did get a pierced rings chain set for Christmas 2 years ago, but haven't tried it yet. Been going to the gym regularly & while piercings in the locker room aren't a second thought to other patrons, a chain might be a little embarrassing. Hopefully over a long weekend sometime.

You do have to be careful. I recently participated in the Warrior Dash. I 5k mud run obstacle course. I didn't notice anything going through the course, but while taking my shower, I found I must have abraised one nipple. Running a wash cloth over it was painful. It has since healed up & is find, but whoa, it wasn't something I was expecting after all these years.

I've always been curious about a clit piercing. Does it hurt? Does it really inhance sex?

My gf has her clit pierced....as she says..'best 100 bucks I ever spent'..and well to me I love sucking it in...lol

I'm no expert, not least because I don't have a clit, but I'm aware that piercings through the clit head itself are rare, need to be carried out by a real expert, and have the potential to deaden things down there rather than enhance sex. Not something to be embarked on lightly and, yes, I imagine it would hurt a lot.

I suspect that what you are thinking of is a clit hood piercing which can increase stimulation of the clit during sex (and, I have heard, at other times too).

What about nipple piercings?

I see a lot of photos and vids of women with their nipples pierced. Just wondering, if you must leave them in all the time? If your nipples must be hard before putting the studs, rings, or whatever in. And, if so, what happens when your nipples are not hard and the studs, rings, etc. are still in place. Or maybe that never happens.

One last lesson. If you take the piercing out, they will heal over. I let this happen when I lost the ball of one of my studs. Wanting to be balanced, I took the other one out. But I missed the piercing, so I went & had it done again. And it hurt worse because now she had to go through scar tissue. Still, I love them & will no go without them again. I learned my lesson. But variety is the spice of life, & I do try to change from bar bells to rings from time to time. Wish I could go with a bar bell will dangling jewels, but that would be too feminine for the gym. Would even love a pair that say slut, but that would be worse than the jewels. I love my feminine time, but it is for my & my wife's enjoyment. Not my humiliation. I enjoy it too much for that.

Mention of scar tissue prompts me to mention keloid scars. They are scars that go uncontrolled and don't know when to stop creating scar tissue, spreading outside the original wound area. Hypertrophic scars are similar but stay within the borders of the original wound.

Most of the time they're not too much of a problem but from time to time they flare up. When they do, the sensation is much like someone holding a burning cigarette on your skin - for days on end.

The only real treatment for that (and it's only palliative - keloid scars can't be cured and surgical removal isn't advised because the surgery scar is almost certain to go keloid too and be worse than the original) is a steroid injection straight into it. However, I have found that taking steroids in tablet form or intravenously for other reasons sets the scar off big time. I have a very high threshold of pain but when my scar really gets going it has me in tears.

In other words, keloid scars are not nice. Mine - the result of a bike crash - is just below one of my nipples and that is bad enough. I would definitely NOT want one on any of the sensitive spots where people like to have piercings. I cannot begin to imagine what the pain would be like from a keloid scar on the clit.

I don't know what the incidence of keloid scars is (I'm not sure anyone does), but it has been estimated that something like 6 to 16 per cent of people of African origin will get them at some time.

My experience of a keloid scar is enough to put me off any thought of having a piercing. Obviously, not everyone who has a piercing has problems with the resulting scar tissue but just be aware that there is a risk.
