Apa stretch |
| ||||||||||||||||
I am usually a very normal guy. Only God knows what the hell is wrong with me.I got my apadravya almost a year ago at Gotham in Manhattan. It was also my very first piercing. All the details are already on BME but for those who missed it I will give you a quick run down of what happened before I explained the stretching part.
My girlfriend who is very much into piercings encouraged me to get my apa. At first I thought it was a sick idea but then the more I read and heard about it the more it grabbed my attention. Before I knew it I was on a train heading towards Gotham which at the time was on 2nd ave. There I met the piercer whose name was Brian (but he has left since then). I explained what I wanted and together we decided on a 10 ga. barbell. He went over all of the after care. No sex, no touching, constant cleaning with dial and daily soakings in sea salt solution. Then it was time for the piercing. Being a straight guy with a beautiful girl I was a little worried about having some guy touch my unmentionables but when you think of it who knows how to handle it better then a guy. At least I knew he had a dick too so there should be a less chance of him messing up, right? Back to the story. So Brain cleans the are with a q-tip then marks two points with a surgical pen. I was asked if I the marks were to my liking which at the point I was too nervous to care. Then I laid back grabbed hold to the nearest thing to brace myself, closed my eyes and began to breathe deeply. It was time for the piercing. (This peiercing does not require forceps. It is all free hand.)
The piercing itself was not as bad as I expected. There was a sharp pain as the needle entered from the bottom and I could feel it working it's way to the top. Don't get me wrong this piercing hurts like hell but compared to the way some other guys described it it wasn't bad at all. After the needle was inserted the jewellry was used to push it out. Then the piercer got the top ball on screwed it on. After the jewellry was inserted my package was wrapped in guaxe and the covered with a rubber glove. I was then given the whole aftercare procedure again.
For a atleast one month speeing stung a little and the piercing hurt quite a bit whenever I was excited or laied on my stomache. But after that month things were almost back to normal. I started having sex again and I really didn't soak it in sea salt solution too often. I still fine myself cleaning crusties off of the balls every morning. Also since the I changed the length of the barbell to a shorter one. My girlfriend loves this piercing and I believe anyone interested in it should go ahead a do it. Ok now it is time for the stretching part.
The idea to stretch came from my girlfriend who wanted to stretch her 12 ga. tongue up to a 10 ga. Everyone insisted that it would be easy fpr her to just stick the new jewellry in but that turned out to not be true. There was no way that thing was just going to pop in with no problems so she tried this little trick she got off of BME. She got one of her extra 12 ga. barbells and painted it with clear nailpolish so as to make it an 11ga. (if such a thing exists). When it was completely dried she carefully pushed that one through the hole. It bled a little but that was all. After a day or two she then took her 10 ga. barbell and this time it went in with ease. After watching her do this I started to wonder if it could work for my Apa as well. I had been thinking of stretching it to a 6 ga. mainly to see if I could do it.
First thing I did was buy the 6 ga. barbell I wanted to eventually stretch to. The difference in size was crazy but I knew I could do it. Then I got my old barbell (the too long 10 ga. I was originally pierced with) and began coating it with clear nailpolish. I worked it up to a size I assumed was between a 10 and an 8 ga. and then left it to dry on a windowsill for 2 days. I took some antibacterial vaseline for covering cuts and lubed the painted jewellry then placed it against the old jewellry and began to push it out. Believe it or not but it didn't hurt. It was a bit tight getting it in but it didn't hurt. After 2 weeks of letting the hole stretch to the new size it was time for me to stretch it again. This time I took the last 10 ga I had taken out and painted that one till it was up to an 8 ga. I lube it up like the other one and slowly pushed it through. This one was harder to get in then the last I gues it is because it was too soon to try and stretch again but I still forced it in. To my amazement I still didn't experience any pain. This time I let the barbell stay in for at least 3 weeks before I attempted stretching again. Then it was time to stretch it once more. This time I got the first painted barbell which was between a 10 and an 8ga and made it into something between an 8 and a 6 ga. When I tried to insert it it actually hurt and that freaked me out. I must have made it bigger then I expected. SO I left the old one in and removed the nailpolish from the one that seemed to big. Obce all the nail polish was removed I repainted it but to a size smaller then what I had before. It looked as if I might have to go through two steps instead of one to get to my 6 ga. After the jewellry had dried I tried to once again insert it and this time it went in with less difficulty. I left it in for at least two weeks and then begain painting another barbell to a size a bit bigger then the one I had in at the moment. When that had dried it was then pushes in. By now I was getting really annoyed at the fact that this was all taking so damn long. But I hate pain and I really wanted to do this.
Finally it was time to put the 6 ga. in. I lubed it up and finally slid that sucker in. Ofcourse there was some tightness but seeing I did it so gradually it wasn't much to worr about. Aaaaaaah my 6 ga was in. My girl thought it was prett cool but she also thought I was crazy. Our biggest concern was that the nail polish would have started to break down and irritate the piercing but it didn't thank God. Imagine explaning that to a doctor.
For the entire time I was stretching the piercing I treated it like a fresh piercing. I did the sea salt soaks and I washed it with dial on a regular basis. Also when I did have sex I used a condom. But I tried not to do it too often seeing I wasn't sure it if would irritate the piercing. But in the end all my hard work paid off and I didn't have to pay anyone to put me throught pain. ALl I needed was a bottle of my girl's nailpolish and a 6 ga. piece of jewellry. ANd incase anyone is curious to know "NO I AM NOT GOING THROUGH ALL THAT AGAIN". That is the last time I try to stretch my apa. I might stretch my tongue to a 10 ga for the fun of it.
Oh and for those who are wondering there are some advantages to the stretch. The area is alot more sensitive meaning sex feels even better. Also my girlfriend says that she can feela difference which she claims she is very happy wih. So if you are looking for a way to make your apa even more sensitive or you just want to try something new with your piercing stretching is definitly a great option. But unless you are as broke as I am, not too wild about about pain or you are too lazy to go find a piercer then please do not try stretching the was I did. You should really go to a good piercer. The piercer me and my girl go to is quite far from where we live and being as broke as I am it just wasn't worth the trip. But if you do choose this ghetto procedure then be as sanitary as possible.
Good Luck to all.
