A couple of weeks ago, when I had a few moments at home alone, I decided to do some more piercings. I have been attempting to restore my foreskin for nearly 2 years now, but have gotten lazy as time has gone on. Not that I haven’t had results, in fact I have, but out of sheer business.

Over the past 6 months to a year, I have noticed several foreskin piercings on the BME pages, and have also noted the length of the foreskin which resulted. Whether they were uncut to begin with, I don’t know, but I decided to do my piercings with the hopes of that as an end result.

I went upstairs to the bathroom and laid out all the equipment. At one time I had over 45 piercings, and had saved jewelry I had removed or had healed out. I soaked five of these rings, a barbell, and a 14ga. needle in a bowl of alcohol while I prepared.

Some past history before I continue. I was born with (actually probably happened when I was circumcised at birth) 4 piercings around the circumcision scar. I assume these were sutures which healed that way. A dermatologist once told me that piercings of this nature occur in 1 of every 1000 circumcisions. In any event, the 2 piercings on the right (from the owner’s point of view) were very deep and well-established. The ones on the left were very minute and fragile. In a past attempt to restore the foreskin through piercings, I managed to break the one which was most substantial. That put an end to any restoration efforts through piercings until I made some of my own.

Back to my story. I attempted to find the circumcision scar (which has decreased in response to my past restoration efforts), and chose where I wanted to line up the piercings. Placing the Pennington forceps in the center on the top of the shaft, I began to try and pierce with the needle I had just removed from the triple antibiotic. (I had never done a genital piercing on myself before). I quickly discovered I had to become ambidextrous in order to pierce myself.

Shifting the forceps to my left hand, and holding the cork with the same hand, I used my right to put the needle through. More pain than I expected, but less than I had experienced in the past. Removing the CBR (captive bead ring) from the triple antibiotic, I used the ring to push the needle out and the ring through the hole.

Removing the forceps, I put the bead in place, admired it for a while (even though it was off-center), and was ready for the second on the left-hand side of the shaft (from the owner’s point of view), and again for a third. I was contemplating a fourth just to the right of center on the top of the shaft, but decided against it, especially since I had such good piercings there already (the “natural” ones) and didn’t want to risk losing them.

The third piercing came exactly in the center (just to one side of the frenum), and went under (at a 90° angle) my frenum piercing I had just added about 4-5 months ago. It has healed quickly and is the most secure and trouble-free of the three piercings.

I then had fun (which I don’t recommend--but I was excited), and wrapped them in a toilet tissue and took the rubber band off the forceps and placed it around the shaft below the piercings, doubling it. The rubber band is one of those the mail carriers use.

To form the protective tissue barrier (which is readily available anywhere you go), I take about 6-7 of the tissue sheets and fold them in half (bringing the two ends together). Then I fold them in half again. This provides four layers of protection. I put one end of the folded sheets under the shaft, then around the end, and the other end on top. I fold down the top sheets around the shaft, and bring the bottom sheets up around the top and place the rubber band on.

Now, two weeks later, I am still wearing a protective tissue most of the time for two reasons:

• It prevents any of the rings from catching inside my pants.
• It prevents the “crusties” and blood from staining or spotting my underwear.
• It protects the piercings and holds them in a particular position, optimizing their healing time.

Things I have noticed:

• For the first day or two, it is best not to get the piercings wet. They healed fine until they were exposed to water. Then the process started over again.
• Don’t get erections if you can help it (with or without the protective tissue on).
  • Without the tissue, the foreskin goes back to the shaft skin and tends to pull at the piercing--causing bleeding.
  • With the tissue, it causes the rubber band to be pulled into the piercings on the end of the foreskin, and can cause discomfort and bleeding. By no means have I wanted to remove the piercings, but it is something to watch out for.
• Avoid adjusting yourself in public. I am in a public setting for at least 7 hours per day, and have to resist the urge to adjust, scratch, or otherwise manipulate myself.
• Get to the bathroom in time! Removing a rubber band (that holds the protective tissue in place) in a hurry can be rather painful!

The future:

I hope to have these piercings healed enough in a few weeks to hook together. I have already tried a time or two, but did not both because of discomfort, and because I know it would ultimately extend the healing period. I want them healed as fast as possible, and I will build up the connection time and the strength of the piercings over a period of time until I can permanently connect them and weight them.
