My lorum was the third genital piercing I have preformed on myself, the first two being frenums. I don't remember what put the idea into my head but looking back on it i'm glad it happened. Originally I thought about doing another frenum, at this point I had one on top and one on bottom. So I thought adding a second to the bottom sounded good, so that's what I prepared for. Like I stated previously I have done frenums on myself before so I knew what it should feel like, what I needed, and the aftercare to take care of it. I had something coming up the next day that I didn't want a fresh piercing for so I waited. I did that and then started to get myself in the mind frame to start. Little did I know I wouldn't do the frenum, well not that when I thought I would.

I got the correct positioning, general healing time, aftercare, and just the basic pros and cons of the piercing. Next I got myself a 14-gauge needle and a quarter inch cbr. I cleaned my clamps and waited for the right time.
A few hours later I set up, laying all of my materials on a paper towel on top of a table beside me, I let an insent because they relax me, then I washed my hands and the area I was about to pierce. Making even marks was the hardest part out of all of it, but once I was satisfied I cleaned it again. I didn't know if I should expect the same feeling as I got with a frenum or if it would differ greatly. It occurred to me at that moment I had never talked to anyone to see what it was like. I didn't mind though, I was ready and nothing was going to stop me now. I ran through the steps in my head, reassuring myself I knew everything. Well, at least everything I needed to know to safely do this procedure. That is a large step in piercing myself. Reassurance. I can be a nervous character, sometimes. I got myself calmed down but I was still full of adrenaline, I was ready to go.
I picked up my clamps and lined them up with the dots, letting them close snugly holding the skin in place. Picking up the needle I proceeded to line it up and with a shallow breath I pushed it through, it took me a second to realize it was through. It went so smoothly and effortlessly that I did not really feel it. I am not sure weather it's a painless piercing or if my body was expecting anything so it drowned out the feeling, but I didn't feel it. I was quite surprised but pleased.
Picking up the jewelry I butted it up against the needle and it slid through with no problem at all. I popped the ball on and was good to go. A drop or two of blood out the exit hole is all there was, I wiped it clean and then cleaned it with antibacterial soap. I sat there for a while watching it, wondering what it would look like healing fast enough for the eye to be able to watch. I think that had something to do with the adrenaline rush to my brain. Anyways, I fallowed general aftercare instructions for the next month or so. There was a short time there where I thought I might lose it. Needless to say I did not lose it. I like the piercing a lot.
It healed very very well. I kept a fourteen-gauge ring in for some time, but after a while I downsized to sixteen because it felt better then a fourteen while I was doing normal day things. I like the piercing a lot, it doesn't give pleasure like the frenums but it is interesting to have. Maybe I will use it someday to hang keys from. I have now had it for a few months, I can pull on it or turn it or anything with no pain at all, it healed very fast and cleanly. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to adding another below that one. We will all see what the future brings. Sense then I have done three more frenums and an eight-gauge scrotal ring, but that was an experience in itself. Goodbye and I hoped this helped you in some way, thank you to everyone who read it, for reading it.
