I am a 37 year old professional who has been into body piercing for about 7 years. My first pierce was a reverse PA. I wanted to wear a U-Tube and also wanted to see the ring anytime I went to the bathroom, so I opted for a reverse. About a year later I had it converted into an Apadravya. This actually became a problem with pissing. I tried a number of other piercings including a Guiche and a Frennum. I ended up removing my self done dydoe the same night. I finally settled on the ultimate piercing – the ampallang.
At A Glance Author anonymous When Three months ago Artist Chuck Studio Artistic Armor Thurs Nov 13, 2003
I Went to Artistic Armor to get an Ampallang. I already had a 10ga Barbell in my Apadravya and told Chuck I wanted the Amp not to hit the urethra or the other piercing, but go as deep in the glans as possible. I wanted to get another 10ga so I wouldn't have to take so long stretching. I have to admit I am a bit of a masochist. He marked the spot a few times and we finally agreed that this point was as low as we could go without risking hitting the urethra. He cleaned the area and clamped my other piercing out of the way, asked if I was ready and started to push the needle through. I clenched my fists fro what seemed to be hours. The pain was majorly intense! About 15 seconds later the needle pushed through the other side. 15 seconds is a long time when you are white knuckled with pain. Next was the jewelry, or so I thought. I felt what should have been the jewelry go in and stop. When I looked down I noticed it was a taper pin. Chuck had pierced me with a 12ga needle and tapered it to 10ga. We didn't talk about this and I'm glad we didn't. The thought of stretching a fresh piercing wouldn't sit well with me. He stopped because he wanted to put more lube on the taper pin. This meant pulling it back out. That alone sent me through the roof. By this time beads of sweat were forming on my forehead. Once he put more lube on the taper the real fun began. Anyone who has ever stretched a piercing can certainly relate. Honestly the stretching hurts more than the piercing itself. When Chuck was done he said "That's it, you're good to go". I asked if he was going to bandage it so I wouldn't bleed all over. "Don't need to" he replied "the jewelry is acting like a sterile plug to keep the blood in and infection out. This was a major positive for me since my wife didn't know I got the piercing done.
For about 3 days I was so thrilled with my new jewelry. No blood, no pain, and it looked real cool next to my apadravya. By the 4th day the head of my cock swelled some, but no bleeding. Then in the middle of the night I woke up in agony! It felt like someone was taking a knife to my member and twisting it! I had an erection which pushed the jewelry into my apadravya. The pain was excruciating. The more it hurt the harder I got. I laid there with a rock hard erection for about 30 minutes. Trying to shift my position and think of something to make it go down. Finally after what seemed like hours my dick relaxed and let me get some sleep. Somewhere in the middle of the night something got the general excited again and I found myself awake holding my member in pain. It felt almost as bad as the original piercing. That day on there was always a dull ache that I couldn't escape. It appeared as if the jewelry was too small and that might be the reason for my pain.< p> I had a larger barbell lying around and decided to switch it out. Fortunately the switch went smoothly and the new barbell was in. I still got erections every night which hurt just as much as the first one. My only problem was the new jewelry was about ¼" too long so it seemed to catch on everything. Brushing too close to a desk would cause me to see stars. I think most of my problems is the 2 piercings so close together. It's been a week and it still hurts quite a bit. There is some discharge. This went on for about 2 weeks. No infection, no bleeding, but It hurt like all hell. The swelling in my glans went down and I was able to put the original, smaller barbell, in which didn't catch on clothing as much as the longer one did.
It has been 5 months now and it is time to stretch to a 6 gauge. My goal is to get to a 2 gauge eventually. I am trying to work a 6Ga taper pin in which is really hard. There is a lot of skin to pass through. Right now I managed to get a 2ga Labret stud in my reverse PA. It plugs the hole, but doesn't interfere with pissing. My ampallang is totally awesome especially during sex. The piercing method was great too especially for someone who has a problem with infections. Just remember "No pain - no gain"
