My girlfriend and I were just kidding around and talking with our friends about it online. I was totally against it and was a little more than freaked out about the thought of a needle going through my little buddy. So after a little while of thinking about it and searching online I was kind of interested in it. I started researching the different types of penis piercing, checking out the pictures, what benefits they gave the wearer, healing time, stuff like that. I decided on the frenum, because it looked less complicated and less invasive than a PA or any other. I've also heard from friends who have PA's that they have trouble holding there bladder and have to sit when urinating most times. It was about a month of that and I was really itching to get it done as soon as possible.
At A Glance Author Ericthewierdone Contact Ericthewierdone@yahoo.com When Three months ago Artist Kim Studio Infinite Location Philly Now I'm not the "typical" body mod guy. I'm really not someone you would really put into any category, but I'm pretty quite, get the job done, antisocial. People I tell I have a frenum piercing are pretty shocked, and then when I tell them I have two they don't believe me. But hey it was cheaper to get two and if I was going to get one at all I might as well get two.
So we looked around for pricing and cleanliness and reputation. We asked around to our friends and one of our good friends recommended Infinite in Philly. So we checked it out online at www.infinite.com and we thought it sounded pretty good. We set a date and took the drive into Philly to get our nibs and nobs prettier. The date that we set was for my girlfriend, her sister and our friend to get there nipples done. And they did and we left. We had planned to get my frenum piercing at the same time they got their clit or hoods done, but they had agreed to wait for their nipples to heal before they would and that that would take longer than I was willing to wait. So hearing this I was totally for going and getting it at that time. So after a little shopping we went back.
We got there and the place was awesome, the staff is was extremely helpful and friendly, they tell it to you straight up, no bullshit. So I told the guy behind the counter what I was looking to do and asked him any questions I had like gauge and aftercare and general never been pierced before questions. He was very cool and really helpful. So I waited to be called back to the room and I was totally ready for it not scared or anything, if I didn't like it after it was all done I could take it out.
So Kim came out and took me back, it was like a doctors office. Really it was it looked and smelt like a doctor's office. It was really comforting. Kim got her stuff ready and she explained to me the procedure, breathing and such.
It did hurt but it felt like an intense bee sting for like 2 or 3 seconds and that was it, no pain afterwards at all. Nothing at all it was really cool actually. It bled a good amount but didn't really have much trouble walking. Actually after I got pierced I jumped off the seat and felt nothing.
I was pretty proud of myself; I had these two 8 gauge bars on the underside of my penis. Aftercare was easy and no problems, just the usual healing time with the bleeding and puss. There was a little bruising but I was expecting that, I mean a needle just tore ass through my cock. My girlfriend said it was swollen too but I didn't really notice it, the swelling or the bruising wasn't painful or extreme. After about two weeks I was able to have sex, no rough stuff though. Better than nothing really. Now it's almost three months old and it's completely healed.
I'm completely obsessed with piercing now. I want more; I want to get my tongue pierced and maybe another rung on my ladder. One thing I didn't understand while I was doing research on the net was the large amount of people who pierced themselves. It really doesn't make much sense; I mean if you don't know what you are doing you can really hurt yourself. This type of piercing is in a very valuable and delicate place, infection or worse is not something you want happening, so why chance it? Infinite was relatively inexpensive, it was clean, and they were nice and professional. I guess I could see how it could be erotic. Kind of like bondage which is kind of sexy if there not too much pain involved. I see this other stuff on BME like the genial splitting and subincision; I don't understand what it does for the person who has one of those. Does it feel better? And if so for whom does it feel better? Form the pictures I've been seeing it looks to be very messy, and very painful.
