I have been considering a piercing of my manhood for some time. I have gone back and forth between the frenum and a pubic piercing. I have found these two to be the most aesthetically pleasing, while still have a benefit in the bedroom, either for me or my partner.

After doing extensive research about the problems that can be faced with a pubic piercing such as growing out I finally decided that the frenum was the piercing that I would like to have. The area pierced is a very intense area for me sexually so I knew it could be very intense in both pain and pleasure. That decision was entirely the easy part I must admit. Convincing myself to have someone ram a needle and subsequent metal jewelry through my manhood was one hurdle. The second issue, which was easier than I had first expected, convincing my woman that I would do this. The last and in turn, the greatest hurdle to be faced, healing. Healing takes time and every other piercing I have had was understandably sore. I ventured to guess that this would be no different. (It wasn't) The last issue isn't the fact that I needed to heal; it was the fact that sex and self pleasure would have to wait for a little while. As of writing this, it has been only 4 days since the piercing and I am definitely ready to be healed.
Due to changes in my life that go beyond the scope of this piece of work, I decided that it was time to take the plunge into genital piercing. I had completely and utterly wrapped my head around the idea that I would be wounding myself "down there". I have both of my nipples pierced and the pain was outstanding. However, I would not change the fact that I had them done. The research that I have done all pointed to the fact that the pain was less and the satisfaction similar. I liked to think that I have a high threshold for pain. You'll see later what my opinion of that is.
Hurdle number two comes next. I decided that I would suggest to my woman that we each have a piercing "down there". We had discussed this before in a semi-serious, semi-joking manner. I decided I would see how serious we both were. When I suggested I get the frenum and she get a vertical hood (she previously had a horizontal hood) she simply said "Ok". I was shocked and in turn the nervousness increased. It was the middle of the week and we decided the weekend would be a good time to do it for both healing and being able to get to the shop.
The third hurdle, still a hurdle, was the healing and lack of nookie. We knew this and were willing to go through it for the experience. It is still the hardest and longest hurdle to get over but we are trying to be good pierced people and adhere to the rules and suggestions of the professional.
Upon my research in to this piercing and its subsequent pros and cons, I read very good things about Metamorphosis in Indianapolis. I have been to this shop for other things, such as jewelry. However, I had never been pierced there. The staff was always friendly and helpful when I was in there. I ready a few reviews on the shop for genital piercing and found that everyone agreed that this was a good shop to do it at.
We started off our day with a nice meal before making our way to Broad Ripple to get voluntarily impaled in our nether regions. Upon arriving at the shop, we were immediately greeted by Kristin. We did the essential formalities of driver's license, jewelry selection, gauge, etc. Kristin said that most people who do the frenum get 8, 10, or 12 gauge jewelry and that most of those get 10. I decided that 10 sounded good as it was right in the middle. I am very happy with that size currently. We got all the formalities out of the way and Kristin left for a few minutes to prepare the area. We waited and looked at flash on the wall, looked at jewelry.
Kristin then invited us both back to the piercing room. My woman went first. I am after all, a gentleman. Now, it's my turn. Taking off your pants while your woman and a strange woman is in the room is a bit intimidating. I am a trooper and dropped trow hopped on the table. I then laid back and waiting for the unavoidable poking and prodding. She made the mark where the piercing would be. She then asked if it looked ok. We both agreed that it looked good and should proceed. I then laid back and clinched my hands together. As macho as I like to profess to be, I felt neither brave nor macho. She then said that she would use clamps to get the area ready to be pierced. She said you will feel a little prick. I thought to myself "You already have". I find that humor helps me to cope with stressful situations. After clamping me, she said that I should breathe in and upon breathing out she would do it. This made breathing for the first time something I wasn't sure I wanted to do. I inhaled deeply and then exhaled. At the moment of exhale, I wondered what the fuck I was thinking. Unfortunately this was only the first wave of pain. The initial break hurt pretty badly. Breaking through the next layer of skin was even worse. That was the worst of it though. As soon as it started, it was over. Usually I have found that inserting the jewelry is just as painful as the actual piercing. This wasn't the case this time. She inserted the jewelry and had me take a look. She then said you are all done. I got off the table and found two interesting things. The table was completely soaked with my sweat, showing me that my body was certainly just as nervous as my mind was. The second being, I was a little light-headed. I gained my composure and put my pants on. She gave us further aftercare instructions and we proceeded to the front of the store. We paid the bill and were on our way with our newly obtained piercing.
The piercing so far has been quite tolerable and easy to deal with. Cleaning with sea salt and medicated soap has been pretty easy and not painful. I am very pleased so far with the piercing. We shall see just how much I enjoy with when the third hurdle is passed. Stay tuned...
