My name's Jeremy and by the way I look I am the last person on earth who would have a genital piercing but here is my story. A little over a year ago I was talking to a few of my friends about body piercing and tattooing. Each of them had something done in the past, but nothing too recent or too extreme. All of them were making outrageous claims about what they would get done if they had the chance. I had always talked about getting something done I just couldn't screw up the courage to do it. I wanted to know if I had the guts.
At A Glance Author Jeremy Contact wurtje01@gettysburg.edu When A year ago Artist Linda Studio Chrome Gardens Location Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Finally right around Thanksgiving I had the strangest dream. It was almost prophetic, like dreaming of the future. In this dream I had my penis pierced and it turned my life completely upside down. It seemed so real that it really made me feel like I needed a change in my life. When I woke up I knew what I had to do, I had to put my money where my mouth was and go after my dream.
When I got back from Thanksgiving break I went to Chrome Gardens to start this life change. I was absolutely terrified by where my feet had carried me but I figured while I was there I decided to investigate the subject a little. I asked them a few questions about some different genital piercings and their affect on a person's lifestyle and healing times. They were very helpful were very professional providing me with all angles and all the different options available, such as different piercings and different styles. After some careful consideration, a little encouragement from my friends, and a lot of talking to myself I decided on getting a frenum. It had a fairly quick healing time and wouldn't affect any other normal functions. It seemed like the best decision because it wasn't an overly extreme piercing, and its other sexual benefits seemed to be exactly what I was looking for in piercing. All the positives seemed to outweigh the negatives.
They took me in the back and began prepping me. Linda, the piercer, was really comforting and explained the entire process, as she was getting ready. With a little bit of coaxing I was finally able to relax and put my brain in the proper mindset. Up to this point I had barely been able to speak or breathe because I was so uptight. She sterilized the area and made two marks on the underside of my penis to ensure a straight piercing. Then she put a clamp on me to make the piercing a little easier and a little faster by making the skin taught. The clamp was pretty uncomfortable because it pinched me a little, but the adrenaline in my veins made me almost completely oblivious to it. I was so pumped from the excitement and the fear I felt like I could pick up a car. Then the moment I had been waiting for and dreading at the same time happened. Looking back it really did seem like a dream. Calmly Linda said, "Take a deep breath and when you exhale I'm going to do it." I breathed in not quite knowing what to expect and as I was exhaling she stuck the needle in. The pain was kind of sharp and surprising. I thought it was a lot like getting stuck in your zipper without getting out, but then the most incredible wave of euphoria swept over me erasing all pain and fear. It was the best adrenaline high I have ever had in my entire life. Nothing before, and nothing since has even compared to what I felt at that very second as the needle exited my body. Then finally to complete the process, Linda followed it up with the 12-gauge barbell and presto I was done. All of this happened in the course of about 6 seconds. It was near instant gratification.
One of the best things about this piercing is its fast healing time. The piercing was only sore for about 3 days. After that it was completely without pain. I was really careful about cleaning it, usually about twice a day. I also did sea salt soaks which I think really helped the soreness. It was completely healed after about 4 weeks.
Now a year later my 12-gauge is now 4-gauge and I love it more than ever. I have now had 4 genital piercings, a Prince Albert, Lorum, and two scrotals, and I still think this was hands down, my best experience ever. Looking back it was one of the best things I have ever done. The benefits of it have been phenomenal and I can't really explain them to anyone who doesn't have it done completely but I'll try. It has increased my sexual sensitivity at least ten fold and its just a little kinky for those who are a little adventurous. The feelings it has brought me are better then anything I would have ever dreamed about. It is absolutely mind blowing bringing me the greatest pleasure. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything and it all came about because of a dream.
