For the past couple of years now, I have done a number of modifications to myself. It started with a very small frenum pierce. I used a very sharp needle, a piece of hard sponge, and a quick stab to accomplish this. It healed literally overnight, and I spent the next month or so stretching the hole to 10ga.

My next experiments were shallow surface piercings in various places on my body, none of them ever being permanent. This was mainly due to the fact that I could only start with a pinhole to work the jewelry through.

What I moved to next was an incremental series of incisions along the bottom of my penis eventually culminating in a meatotomy. This was done in small steps due to the tremendous amount of blood released in the process of cutting. Pain was minimal; my main concern was fainting. Each cut healed in a matter of a couple of days.

Being satisfied with my meatotomy, I then moved on to a Prince Albert. I don't know if I would really call what I have as a PA, as it is nearly halfway down my penis. I accomplished this pierce with a piece of rubber tubing inserted into the urethra to receive a carefully controlled razor blade. The bleeding caused by this intrusion subsided in a few minutes, and the 8ga custom barbell fitted nicely. Again, pain was minimal.

I do need to mention that I have an extremely high tolerance for pain, and this may affect the accuracy of my testimony, I think most people would need some form of anesthetic. Also, I am very cautious about bacteria and infection. I sterilized all of my instruments in alcohol and scrubbed my hands and the area in question with anti-bacterial soap.

Even after the considerable changes to my penis, I can still urinate while standing. I see absolutely no drawbacks to these changes, only benefits. Please consider changes like these carefully if you are thinking about any of them. Not only should you think about immediate things like healing and blood loss, you should also consider important long term affects (urine flow, semen flow, partner reaction, etc.) as well as complications (infection, a slip during cutting, misplaces pierces, uncontrolled blood loss, effective overnight bandaging, etc.).

If you do decide to carry through, please be sure to have everything prepared and within immediate grasp of your dominant hand (you might need the other to control bleeding.) Also, be prepared for blood, lots of blood. I know I've mentioned it several times in this article, but when I think about my piercings, that is the one thing that immediately comes to mind. (I worked on a chair in the shower with a cookie sheet on the toilet that had all of my tools on it.)
