well about 6 months after getting my PA I thought to myself (only half serious at the time) "hey... why not take that bad boy out and replace it with an ampallang?" I didn't want to have my penis to cluttered with metal so I figured that just a single piece of jewlry in it at once would be enough. Over the next month or so the idea of an ampallang kind of lingered around but nothing was really pushing me to go for it.

One fatefull day I found myself sitting infront of the counter at West Coast inquiring about a custom 6g barbell for my PA. He had the barbell and I looked at it for awhile then out of nowhere I asked "so an ampallang... what's that like?" knowing that he had one and figuring I might as well learn a little while I was there. He told me that he had been shot and stabbed and that thee ampallang piercing was by far the most pain he had ever been through in his life. I thought to myself "that doesn't sound to fun, maybe I'll pass". However he then proceeded to tell me that he needed someone willing to get an ampallang for a training video that he was making consisting of the more extreme piercings out there. Then on top of that he said the four magic words that, whether I liked it or not, sealed the deal. "It will be free". My fiance then looked up at me lovingly and didn't need to say anything. I knew that she really liked the looks of the ampallang and would probably not be o pposed to the increased pleasure that it would undoubtably bring. I looked across the counter to kelly and said let me check my work schedule. The video shoot was to take place on sunday so either I worked or I didn't there were no alternate days to do this. I checked in with work and as it turned out I worked that day. Fancy enough I also worked the next day. There was a catch though, I got off work at 6pm and kelly was doing piercings all day long.
The next day I went into West Coast and asked if he thought I would be in commission to go to work the next day. He asked me again where I worked and I told him at a hardware store/warehouse and that I would be up and down ladders all day. He said "yeah sure, you'll be fine" so that was it, I was booked in for 9pm on sunday.
Sunday
Well the day was here and I really had no clue what I was doing. I had researched everything for the past couple of months, and "knew" what I was getting into but there was still that question floating around in my head... "what the fuck are you going to do to yourself tonight? sure you have a PA but that's nothing, there is going to be a needle through your knob in a matter of hours" That pretty much was at the front of my mind through out the day. As the clock turned to 6pm and my shift ended my co-workers bid me farewell and all took a deep breath for me. Luckily I had talked a friend into getting an apadravya (this guy really had no clue about anything and was really only doing it because it was free) did I mention that this would be his first piercing? anyways another story.
I got home from work and had a shower. I then bid my soldier good bye and made love for hopefully not the last time (fingers crossed). After that I called my buddy up and asked him if he was ready. He said "no" I said "good stuff I'll be there in 15 min" I picked him up we ate some food and then we headed over to West Coast.
Skip ahead to the moment of truth
We got there and had to go rub off in the bathroom and get a good measurement of ourselves and make the placement marks. He had us mark ourselves so that we could make sure he would not hit the blood sack inside of the penis resulting in a lot of blood. ( caution: if you get an ampallang and start to bleed a whole bunch you have probably just pierced through the blood sack. ps... Have fun bleeding everytime you get an erection for the next couple of months) The reason that he could not check for the blood sack and make the placement marks was because we had to be erect to feel for where the blood sack ended and despite how much he liked us he was not giving us hand jobs. Being that I was the first to get poked I was the first in the bathroom. I disinfected my hands and started rubbing. No luck, I couldn't get hard, fear had set in. I opened up the door and politely asked my girlfriend to come in, reluctantly she did and some magic was worked. I came out minutes later with a measurement and some marks. 28.52mm to be exact. We opted to go with a 28mm 14g barbell. I wanted to start with 10g but he said that he felt it would be better to start at 14 and risk cutting through less nerves. I trust him so I agreed.
On the bench
well I'm now being filmed, I pull out my penis and he has once again ran for cover, I expected this though being that the same happened during my PA. The clamps are put on and Kelly starts explaining everything to me and the camera. He lines the needle up and says start breathing and relax yourself. I do so and he counts "3" boom the needle is in I make a move to yell but before I know it the pain is gone. It was done and over so quickly that I didn't have a chance to flinch or yelp. Kelly then says "wow... you took that quite well". His girlfriend who was working the camera looked over at me in shock and I just smiled politely. The jewlry went in and I was done. No blood, minimal pain, and one big smile.
The rest of the night goes on, my buddy gets pierced, some laughs are had, we go home.
The next morning
I wake up at about 6am and almost pass out. Morning wood was always something that I looked forward to but this morning it was deadly. Everything blurred and I crawled to the bathroom and ran myself a bath. I layed there for about 45 min and then headed back to bed. My mother came in at about 730am and asked why I was having a bath at 6 in the morning. I looked up at her and she could see the pain in my eyes. She then yells across the hall to my father in total disgust "honey I think he got another 'piercing'".
Since my initial morning wood attack
I was definitely quite tender through the next week. I did make it through work the day after the piercing but let me tell you, loose cloths are ideal. I thought that snug would keep everything in place but I was wrong, just let it hang out. I've cleaned it regularly soaking it in hot water to reduce the crusties. I try not to over clean it however because I have sensitive skin and tend to dry out. I am back to pretty much full commission as far as sex goes and my girlfriend loves the new addition. I did however have to put larger 8mm balls on it as the initial 3-4mm balls cause her some discomfort. My new 10g barbell is on its way, and I should be picking it up on friday ( it is now monday). I will keep it with me untill I feel ready to stretch and then I will pull out my autoclaved taper and lube and give it a wirl. The only problem I have found with having the piercing at 14g is that it can cause me to be quite tender after any stimulation, I am hoping that the 10g will r educe it. As for removing the PA and having only one piece of metal at a time? Well it just looked to bad ass to take out, I now have my custom 6g barbell in and am quite happy with how everything looks and feels.
End comments
go for it, make sure your piercer is experienced and do your research but if you are thinking about it then go for it. This piercing isn't for everyone but If you feel that this step is for you then take it. Yeah there is pain involved but I can't even remember it. As for all body moders, pierce it tattoo it or cut it in half, do what makes you happy.
Funny comment from dad
"do you think I like the fact that you have more metal below your belt then me with a pocket full of change?" That made me chuckle. He is still fairly closed minded towards body modification and insists that it is just a form of rebellion that will lead to further rebellion. Oh well maybe one day his eyes will open.
thanks for listening to me ramble and I hope that all of your experiences can be as positive as mine.
