I first learned of genital piercing when I was in high school, through this very web site. The idea of a piercing that enhances the sexual act for all parties involved in it was very exciting to me.

Later, I joined the Air Force, and getting your dick pierced while in the service is not a good idea because you never know who you'll have to show your penis to when your number comes up for a drug test.
I got married, and I got out of the military. A year or so later, my hair's a lot longer, and I tell the missus I want to get my penis pierced. Fortunately, she's receptive to the idea and she helped me pick the piercing I wanted.
If you've read enough dick-piercing reports, you learn that there's really no such thing as a typical piercing, especially when it comes to the trans-glans piercings. My penis is something of an atypical specimen. My urethra was surgically reconstructed when I was about 5 years old, and the tissue is too thin to support a Prince Albert. Also, my penis is too small to really hold a dydoe; and my frenulum (what's left of it, anyway) is about an inch away from where it's supposed to be. After reading up on the benefits of an ampallang vs. an apadravya, I decided on the latter, for now.
From there, it was just a matter of finding the guy who pierced the most penes in Boise, Idaho. I wound up in the capable hands of Paul Birnbaum at Imperial Body Art. I decided on piercing at 10 gauge and possibly stretching to 8 gauge later.
Some notes for people who are wondering about getting this done:
1. If this is your first piercing (and this was my first and to date only), you're going to be really, really nervous. Even the marker made me grit my teeth.
2. I've read a lot of descriptions of the pain of the piercing itself. Well, you don't know how it's going to feel until the needle's going through. I can promise you, unless you numbed it or you're paralyzed, it's going to hurt. A lot.
3. If you're married or in a relationship, bring your significant other. You're going to need moral support. Also, they have an interest in that thing you're getting done.
The preparation went flawlessly, and before long I was on the table with my sanitized member marked and securely clamped with a ring hemostat. Paul told me to take a deep breath and, as he pushed the needle through, he told me to let it out.
I let the breath out, but the pain in my pee-pee said "No, that won't be sufficient. Scream, bitch!" So I screamed the manliest scream I could manage. (My wife informs me that this scream was, in fact, not manly at all.)
After I was done screaming, Paul followed through with the jewelry. This hurt significantly, but not nearly as much as the initial piercing. After a minute or so, I was able to sit up and admire the new metal appendage on my johnston. I asked for a glove to house my bleeding junk, and soon I was on my way with an aftercare sheet and a brand-new bolt through my cock. I walked through the lobby, high on adrenaline, I went right up to a pierced young man and asked, "Guess what I just got done?", much to the chagrin of my wife.
The aftercare sheet had this on it: "Guys, don't go to females looking for sympathy for your bleeding member. They will laugh at you". Fortunately, there wasn't too much bleeding after the glove came off; and the bleeding stopped completely after three or so days. A week or so after that, the crusties went from black with blood; to white. My aftercare has more or less consisted of keeping it clean with saline and Q-tips, and being careful to not move or spin the bar too much.
At this point, a few weeks after the piercing, I can masturbate with just a little care not to knock the bar around too much. Do not try to make sexy-time until it has healed more, though. I tried, and I got a really sharp pain of the "YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE" variety in the vicinity of the piercing.
The barbell I currently have in is only a few millimeters short of my erect size, so that's convenient. I do plan on getting a shorter bar once I've healed more, and will have a more comprehensive review once I've put the old boy through the paces, and of course if I decide to get a complementary ampallang.
