just thought I'd let you all know I just managed to get my amp stretched up to 3.2mm. Only took three attempts, and of course a number of sub-attemptsI originally had my Ampallang done in January of 1999, after being told about them by my significant other, she suggested I get one done and then she could try one out for real, me being game for just about anything went ahead and booked a session at my local body piercing studio. So on my 39th Birthday I got my ampallang done, but that's another story. Anyway I've had the ampallang since then, with a 2.4mm titanium bar which has become a little loose lately, causing leaks from either side whilst peeing. I've been getting just a little pissed off with dripping on my shoes and peeing in three directions when I least need it (stand aside gentlemen unless you want a golden shower) As you can probably guess it is a trans urethral piercing Or as Angel puts it an English AmpallangSo I decided a few weeks ago that it was time to stretch up from 2.4mm to 3.2mm, A fellow UPB'er DNC added my order for a new bar to his latest acquisition of body jewellery and I wait for it to arrive.......
At A Glance Author SpellSinger Contact SpellSinger@bme.anon Artist Self and a friend called Spud Studio At home Location Blackburn, England UK Attempt One Monday 7th May 2001I get the taper and new bar (thanx DNC) and eventually get enough free time to go and buy some KY jelly.I get home and remove the current bar (2.4mm) lube the taper up and push then I hit resistance then the pain starts, it's ok to start, cos i like pain, but then my brain kicks in and starts telling my hand to stop pushing as it's causing pain, or as it sounded to me inside my head at very high volume...
Yeouch you fuking bitching dirtbag bastard that really really hurts so stop itNo mattter how much I want to push I can't, I remove the taper and the pain abates instantly. I try from the other side and the same happens, try again once more on each side but my brain won't let me inflict that much pain on myself. I really can't understand why I'm having this much trouble as normally I enjoy the experience of pain but this time it just isn't working.
Attempt Two...Two days ago I ask Spud if she fancies inflicting some pain on me by
helping me stretch. I relate the previous experience and suggest that
if she does it, it'll be easy peasySpud gets the taper lubed and inserts it. Everything is going OK to start with and then the resistance and the pain starts the pain was OK in the beginning but then my leg started to tremble then it began to jump and the pain became intense as the taper went in and got to the full 3.2mm through the worst bit (either wall of the Urethra)but then it jams solid and wont budge forward, the flesh is just piling up on the taper and won't go any further through the piercing, It hurts like hell (says the guy who laughs in the face of pain in normal circumstances) but it will come back out. Spud removes the taper, the pain stops. She re-lubricates it with KY Jelly and tries again with the same result, Spud asked if I'd like to carry on I say yes and she attempts to insert the taper from the other side after applying even more lubrication, it seems to be going well then once again the intense pain hits me and my face apparently changed colour rather rapidly and started contorting into very strange expressions. Spud asks me if she should continue and I whisper no I don't think so when I get my breath back.We give up and head off to bed with me feeling just a little sheepish (call yerself a Scotsman ought to be ashamed of yerself for chickening out like that thinks I)
Attempt Three....Today less than an hour ago, once again ably assisted by Spud she got the taper right through first attempt, with surprisingly little pain.Then she puts it through again and follows it with the bar but it won't go through as the taper goes through faster than the bar and the urethra closed behind it.Spud inserts taper from the other side and draws it through the other side re lubes it and pushes it through followed by the bar two rather distant pops later it's passed through both sides of the urethra and is on its way out the other side way hay!So as a final remark may I suggest when anyone is considering stretching up an Ampallang you need some vital ingredientsan ampallang (doh! Well of course)
a taper
lots of lubricant
a high pain threshold (and then some)
a friend who is willing to see you suffer agony ( and preferably who will enjoy it)ps
thanx Spud for helping me through another personal pain barrier, that's what i luv ya for :)
