Lorum piercing at Rings of Desire

My girlfriend and I wanted to get pierced together. Well we didn't want to be *actually* pierced to one and other just at the same time g.

I was unsure if I wanted a frenum or a lorum piercing, but after talking to the folks at Rings of Desire, I decided on a lorum. There were lots of interesting pictures, especially one of a ring that went around the base of the penis which was fastened underneath by a barbell. They were very friendly and answered all of our questions. Even the nervous newbie ones. They showed us pictures from their gallery of what the piercing would look like, and helped us pick out jewelry. Generally they let us take whatever time we needed to take, a very nice consideration.

Since this was my first piercing I wanted Angel herself to do the deed. It costs a couple of extra bucks for her to do it, but let me tell you, it was worth it! More on this later on...

I was taken into the purple piercing room. Angel likes purple, who knew? She prepared everything she needed. I was very impressed by the absolute cleanliness of the facility! Everything was completely sterile, more so than I've seen at a doctor's office. We told her that we were both first timers, and speaking for myself, I was very nervous. Angel was very reassuring and soothing as she finished up her preparations. It was time to do it. After all of the anticipation, it was time to get pierced.

She made her marks and double checked them. Then she checked them again! Angel believes in doing things right. She had me stand and sit so that the ring would be in the right place. Then she placed a clamp (forcep? I was too scared to look honestly!) onto my scrotum so that she could get at the area unhindered. Before doing so she warned me that there will be a little pinch. I'm into BDSM so it wasn't the first time I've had something clamped to my boy parts. Turns out that was no big deal either, it didn't hurt at all.

Then Angel said, "Are you ready to do this?"

I nervously replied "Yes".

She counted to three and perforated me. It was wonderful! Yes there was a little pain, after all I just got stuck in a very tender area. Honestly by the time I felt the needle, she was done. I really enjoyed the feeling of being transfixed by the needle. It was very cool in a Clive Barker kind of way.

Then it was time for jewelry insertion. I chose a really neato 12 gauge black niobium ring with a blue bead. She rotated it into my new piercing. Feeling the ring slide into me and through me provoked a reaction. I got hard! This proved endlessly amusing to my girlfriend who had just gotten pierced herself (she said she was interested in posting her experience here as well, so make sure to check back).

Even Angel was amused I think, but being the consumate professional she is suppressed the smile and just said cheerily "Well that's a really good placement!" She popped the bead onto the ring. My girlfriend said that the bead I had picked out was a little too small. Angel asked me if I would like to look at some bigger ones. I said sure and she happily went off to get a couple of different ones. I figured that the piercing was not only going to be for my pleasure but my girlfriend's as well.

It's now seven months later and I just love my piercing. I found that the large ring was a bit too unwieldy for everyday wearing. My job requires a lot of running back and forth, so I've since gone back to Rings and picked up a barbell with smooth looking hematite balls on the end. My girlfriend and I are starting to discuss where else I can get some hardware put in.

Did I hear someone ask about healing time? Why sure, I had a pretty good 'John Wayne' walk for the first day or so but that soon passed. I was only out of action for about five days to a week when it wasn't too tender for ummmmm activity. It was completely healed at about the five month mark. I wasn't sore for that whole time mind you, it was just at that time I felt that it had healed enough to go back to swimming and hottubing and such.

Since then we were honored by a friend of ours, who asked us to go with her to get pierced, after seeing ours and hearing about what a great experience it was for us.

If you are ever in the New Orleans area (and by gum everyone should visit at least once), I can wholeheartedly recommend Rings of Desire. All of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They are *very* good at what they do. Now about that frenum, maybe the nipples....
