When I was a little me, I always saw people with there ears pierced, and on occasion I would see a facial piercing, usually an eyebrow or tongue. Because I live in Ohio, that's about all I ever saw. How was I supposed to know there was more? I wasn't. Yet, every once in a while, I would think about getting pierced, and it wasn't always my penis I would think about. Sometimes it would be just as basic as an ear, or something easy like that. In my little head, I figured that a genital piercing would be the most unbearable pain ever. That I would die if I ever got it. But as I grew I realized I had a fairly high tolerance for pain. I started doing smaller things like cutting and burning myself. If I could handle this pain then I could surely handle getting pierced, right? Right.

I decided that I wanted to start with a frenum. I read as many experiences as I could on them. I looked at more pictures of placements and tried to estimate depth. At the time I was 17, so I was going to have to do it on my own. When I was done studying, and sure I was ready, I talked to my friend who is a piercer, and got a 14 gauge needle. I went out and bought jewelry, a 14 gauge SSS barbell.
I waited for the perfect day, when I knew that I would have an extended amount of time to my self. I laid down a paper towel, put some lubricant on it. Then I proceeded to lay out the needle, my penningtons, and an alcohol swab, because I did not have any iodine. I decided that I needed something to calm me down, so I went to my room quickly and grabbed two cones of incense that my friend Jessica gave me for christmas, it's always done the job, and went back to my temporary 'studio'. I lit them and let the smoke fill part of the room, by this time my heart was pounding.
I pulled off my pants, sat down, put on my gloves, and picked up my jewelry and marking pen. I marked how long I could do it without the threat of ripping. Then I sat for a while, inhaling the smoke and trying to clear my head.
The time had arrived. I clamped off the skin I intended to rupture. No pain there, which relieved me a bit. I picked up the needle, and as I moved it towards myself, the light caught it just right and it gleamed in my eye. How cliché... I pressed it to my skin, took a few deep breathes, and on my last exhale shoved it through.
I cringed, expecting a scream to escape my throat. And then there was silence, it didn't hurt. I looked down at it and didn't even see any blood. I was amazed, I had just pierced myself. I was so exited I almost forgot about the jewelry that was sitting on the paper towel next to me. I picked it up, put some of the lubricant on it, and lined it up behind the jewelry, then I started to push it through, this hurt a little bit but nothing unbearable, when the jewelry was all the way through, I looked through the needle for a chunk of skin or something, it wasn't there. But now I know why. There was a little bit of blood now, but hardly any at all. It took me some time to screw on the ball because there was so much adrenaline pumping through my veins that I was shaking. Finally, it was on, I was done. I just stared at it for a few minutes, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I had just done something, that, a few years earlier, I thought for sure would be the death of me.
I wasn't sure how healing was supposed to happen, so I just kept it clean and let it go for a while, it never bled after that day, it got less and less sore as the days passed, it stopped secreting a gooey white puss substance. Then it was done. Pierced and healed.
I was rather proud of myself after that. And sence then, I have done 3 more frenums, a scrotal ring, and a deep scrotal ring\low trans-scrotal.
I recommend this piercing for any male who thinks they might want to try a genetal piercing. It is simple to take care of and not that painfull to pierce. I hope this has helped someone make up there mind about getting or not getting a frenum piercing.
