First off, I would like to say that no one should ever decide to get a "serious" piercing on merely a whim. You should think long and hard about the piercing and discuss it with anyone in your life that it would affect (i.e. sexual partner) while taking into consideration your lifestyle and whether or not the piercing in question would hinder you in any way because a piercing should not do this, it should empower you.
At A Glance Author anonymous When A year ago Artist Thomas Studio Stainless Studios Location Toronto, Ontario I had wanted a genital piercing for a long time and at one time or another been interested in almost every different position of metal I could have in my penis, which made it rather difficult to decide on which one I was actually going to get when I had finally decided that the time had come to actually follow through with my long-time desire of obtaining this type of piercing. After much consideration I settled on a Frenum piercing because first off, I concluded that it would probably be the least painful and since this was my first piercing in such a sensitive area I wanted to make sure that I could handle the pain, testing the water so to speak. Secondly, I think that the Frenum is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye because of its placement and finally because if I liked it I would easily be able to construct a ladder. So after I finally had all the details of the actual piercing worked out I called and made an appointment at Stainless Studios in Toronto, Ontario. The person whom I conversed with on the phone was very nice and answered all the questions I had as best they could and also explained to me that I should ask the person who would be piercing me any further questions prior to the procedure.
So the day came that I was supposed to get my Frenum done and I began to wonder if I should actually follow through with it, I was unbelievably nervous. I knew I wanted the piercing but I wasn't sure that I wanted to actually go through the experience of having a sharp object poked through skin that was in an area that I am very fond of. I talked to a friend who offered much support and helped me realize that this was going to be a very exciting experience that I would be able to look back on and appreciate as being a sort of rite of passage. After this pep talk it was time for me to make my way down to the studio so I made one final assessment of the situation and decided that if I didn't go through with it that I was obviously going to regret it and then began the walk down to Stainless Studios.
By the time I had reached the studio my penis was sort of tingling from extreme nervousness and it all felt unreal, which actually made it easier to deal with. I paid for the piercing prior to the procedure which is something I almost never do but felt that by doing this I was making it real (the transaction of quantities of money leaving your pocket always make things real). Thomas was the name of the person who was to give me my piercing, he was very nice and very laid back although very professional. He used humor to ease the situation and answered all my questions fully and explained things beyond the depth that was needed. So there I was sitting in this chair pulling my pants down to expose my very shrunken member, under any other circumstance this would have been a very embarrassing experience but when you're about to have a needle poked through your penis things really get put into perspective. Thomas swabbed the area of my penis with iodine and then asked exactly whe re I wanted the piercing, I had decided to get it near the head of my penis and he marked it off, asked if I was happy with the placing and after verifying that it was right where I would like it a pair of icy cold clamps were secured to my penis.
At this point I began to have my doubts but deep down I knew I was just scared, Thomas told me to focus on breathing deeply and slowly and advised that it might be easier if I didn't watch. He asked if I was Ready and I said yes, as I inhaled the needle went through and I felt a surge of pain rush through my body, it was intense but not nearly as bad as I had been preparing myself for. Thomas gave me a minute to gather myself before he put the jewelry in, which was a lot easier than the initial piercing. After that he gave me a couple of minutes to gather myself again and then we ran through after care and I was informed that I should expect some puffiness as well as some minor itching but that beyond that it should be just fine.
The healing of the piercing went very well, I was very pleased with it and after a month I wasn't concerned about it at all and everything was fine. Masturbation was a little difficult at first and other sexual acts had to be modified in order to accommodate the change in the equipment but my partner at the time loved it. Unfortunately about 9 months later I had to take it out because my new partner wasn't really comfortable with it, which was sort of sad but not that big of a deal. Anyway, I still have the memory of it and at heart that's all that really matters.
