Ongoing Self Piercing Experience

The first part of this story was published on BME as "Self Piercing Experience ­ Prince Albert". This is an update on the ongoing piercing, and what has become a modification experience.

My Prince Albert was stretched to 00 gauge by a progression of larger home made jewelry that increased in size by increments of 15 to 20 thousandths of an inch at a time. No products were available (and even if they were, would have been cost prohibitive) for the large number of stretching steps from 16 gauge to 00 gauge. Since I have a metal turning lathe and bending jigs, I was able to fabricate the jewelry that I needed. The 316 stainless steel stock was easily obtainable from metal shops and industrial suppliers.

Once I reached the 00 gauge size for my Prince Albert, I turned serious attention to the thought of an Apadravya pierce that was looking more inviting after looking at BME submissions. In fact it became an obsession. To minimize the pain (which I am not into) and potential for problems, I decided on a 14 gauge pierce as opposed to a larger initial piercing. Also to make the piercing as minimally traumatic as possible, I designed a "piercing barbell" that would be the piercing instrument as well as the first jewelry worn so the jewelry would not need to be inserted after piercing. I designed a piercing point that would very neatly cut with minimal tissue tearing. The result was a pierce with absolutely no bleeding, ever. The piercing was done probably painfully slowly by any standard. I placed the piercing point facing upward inside the urethra (through the old PA) and when I could feel that it was centered started pushing the point through the glans. I wanted a fairly deep pierce and considered a shaft apadravya but was not certain about going that deep. I steered the piercing point back so it would exit on top of the glans just ahead of the coronial ridge. I also steered the point right and left so that the piercing could not be felt on one side or the other but rather in the exact middle. As planned the piercing point became visible under the thin skin of the glans, exactly in the center, just ahead of the coronial ridge as planned. Now, this is when I realized that all the planning and discomfort of that needle going through my glans was going to pay off. With one last thrust on the piercing barbell, the point came through the top of my glans. I could hardly believe it myself; I had a piece of stainless steel clear through the head of my penis!

Since the jewelry had been designed as the piercing instrument also, I just put the bead end on the barbell and wore the piercing barbell for a week before I tried one of my old captive bead rings in 14 gauge and placed it through the new piercing and out the urethra for a reverse PA. This was just a temporary fitting to see a reverse PA on my own penis.

Within a week I had removed the 14 gauge piercing barbell and inserted a 12 gauge barbell. There was no forced stretching or bleeding at all. Again using home made jewelry, I increased the barbell size through the apadravya pierce and by 6 weeks, I had stretched the apadrevya to 4 gauge. The progressive, small increases in size of the piercing jewelry resulted in a very comfortable and complication free increase in size. I could tell when the piercing was ready for the next size increment by the jewelry becoming loose in the pierce and movement of the jewelry through the pierce causing no discomfort. As the gauge sizes increased, I changed to acrylic rod which is much easier to work, especially for temporary bars that will soon be replaced. I used "O" rings to hold the acrylic rod in the pierce rather than make a full barbell. This really simplified and reduced the cost of progressive stretching.

That brings us up to the present, 5 ½ years after the PA, 2 ½ years after the apadravya piercing. I have stretched the apadravya to almost ¾ inch. This has resulted in almost a split head. I can now insert my little finger fully through my penis and wear my glans (of course, still attached) as a ring on my finger. Since some stretching still occurs just from wearing the jewelry, I don't know if I will eventually have the apadravya stretch clear through the end of my penis leaving me with a split head. If this does occur, I'll have to plan some other deeper shaft piercing so that I will still have some "hardware" hanging in my penis. I have a barbell of ¾ inch diameter rod and 1 inch balls to wear in my penis head when I reach my goal. This barbell that I can now wear with slightly smaller rod diameter, weighs between 1/3 and ½ pound and really produces an interesting swinging of my penis when I walk around in the nude.

Pictures will follow shortly of my "finger apadravya" and massive barbell.
