G'day.
At A Glance Author Flewy Contact tbirdflewy@yahoo.com Artist Self Studio Lounge room Location Australia I was looking on BME the other day, just to see what I could get pierced next. I'd always liked the look of male genital piercings, but I didn't like the thought of baring my cock so that some guy (even my piercer) could play with it and stick a needle through it. If someone's going to do that, I want it to be me. Apart from that, I wanted to do my own piercing, because I find piercing a very personal and private experience that helps me to know my own body. Your own body is the only thing anyone really owns, so make it your own and decorate it.
I'd never pierced anything myself, but I'd had enough things done to know what to do, and I had all the gear, so why not? All I needed was some reassurance and (pardon the pun) the balls to do it, and I got those from Experiences. So thanks to everyone who wrote in! Anyway...
I had some sterilized piercing needles at home (never know when you're going to need them), and a barbell from an old nipple piercing. I locked the door, dropped the barbell in a methylated spirit / hydrogen peroxide mix, washed my hands and cock and, well, got myself hard. Then I stretched some skin, found a good spot just behind the head with not too many veins, and marked it with a felt tip pen. At this point I still wasn't too sure if I was going to do it or not, or if I was just going to do a play piercing. I unsealed the needle, and just pushed against the skin to see how it felt. All of a sudden I was half way though. Oh well, here goes nothing. There wasn't any pain, no blood, and I had a needle through my cock.
The endorphines came on then, and I had to wait for my head to stop spinning. What a rush huh, that's what we're all in this for. In the meantime, everything had gone soft, and I couldn't see how I was going to get the jewelry through like that, so up we go again.
I tried putting the shaft of the barbell into the hollow needle, but I must have had the wrong gauge needle or jewelry, whatever. I tried following the needle though, and inserting the jewelry in the other side, but I ran out of hands. Next time I pierce myself, I'm going to buy some clamps. So I pulled the needle all the way out, with the intention of just threading the barbell through the hole, but I didn't get that far. FUCK THAT HURT! All of a sudden, there was blood everywhere, the needle must have been blocking a vein. Looking back it wasn't really that much blood, probably only a tablespoon full, but this was the first time I'd ever pierced myself and I wasn't ready for blood all over my cock.
I started getting that rush all over again, and just sat there for ages, no needle, no jewelry, just a hole and blood. After about ten minutes I thought, well, if I can't get the jewelry though there's no harm, just some play piercing, but I'd give it one more go. I'm glad I did. So I got hard again, cleaned everything again, and just teased the barbell through the hole. The barbell was externally threaded (ouch!) and the skin on the exit hole just clung to the threads till I really pushed, and it popped through. So there I was, I had a pierced frenum! I screwed the ball on the other end, and sat back to look at it. Not bad, a little crooked, but fun.
I cleaned it with more diluted hydrogen peroxide, and went to bed. There was no blood the next morning, which I was a bit worried about, just a few little crusties I soaked away. I have had no problems walking, getting dry, or anything. Sex will be a different matter, I'll just have to wait a while to find about that. I love my new piercing, it was really easy and didn't hurt for long, just a few seconds.
One thing I would (will) do differently next time is to use some piercing clamps. It just would have been nice to be able to have one hand free at all times. If you're thinking about doing your own male genital piercing, either for the personal experience or the fact that you don't want anyone else handling your meat, go the frenum. It's easy, relatively painless, and it looks great! Just keep everything clean. I wanted to tell everyone at work, but they all just get grossed out and tell me how stupid I am (I work with some really closed mind type of people). I had to tell someone, so I'm telling you.
Cheers,
