When I turned 18, I decided to get my first piercing. Now I knew my parents would kill me if I got anything they could see so I decided to get a frenum. The only piercings I knew people got down there was a PA but I knew that a frenum should be possible. I mean if they go through the head and muscle, why not just skin right? I had been putting aside a little money here and there because I didn't know how much it was going to cost. Then my friend told me about the house of pain. Apparently it only cost 55$ to get a frenum there. I was sold since I had about 120$ saved up and I could go out and have fun the rest of the day afterwards. I scoped out the place before I went. There were tattoo designs all over the walls, 2 display cases of various piercings. I'd never set foot in a piercing parlor before, so I didn't know what to expect. I liked what I saw and told the guy that I would be back that Saturday when I turned 18. He nodded not caring but gave a fake smile so not to lose business.

I was giddy as a little kid walking to the piercing parlor. I was finally going to get pierced since I was 18. I've been wanting to get it done since I was 13 and it was finally going to happen. All along the way me and my friends were laughing at the fact that I was going to get pierced there, and they still didn't think I was going to go through with it. We talk about putting the video online and laughing because we were going to show it to everyone in school the next day. So I walked inside and told the guy I wanted a genital piercing. I didn't think there were anymore than a frenum. After telling me about PAs, ampallangs and apadravyas, I told him I just wanted the frenum. (Turns out I didn't research it as much as I should have.) I was expecting more of a reaction from him, but he sort of just nodded and went to the shelf to get some papers. He makes me fill out the paperwork as he gets ready. He says that only "deviants" get ampallangs and apadravyas and that the frenum was my best bet and a good choice since it doesn't hurt and it'll heal quickly. He also said he hasn't done one in a long time but I didn't have anything to worry about and it would be over soon.

After a couple minutes, I'm there with my boxers around my ankles, my friends staring at me, laughing and videotaping. The chair was big and leather, it was a slightly dirty studio and I started remembering horror stories about people getting infected at places like this. What would happen if I got an infection there?

There was a cold chill in the studio. I was staring at the needles on the table and the gloves next to him. I started getting beads of sweat and my heart started beating faster and faster. What did I get myself into, what was I doing? I was starting to second guess myself. Was I really going through with this? Was that sharp needles (14g) really going to go through my dick?

The piercer puts on the gloves and marks my dick on both sides, where it goes in and where it'll go out. He clamps it down and takes out the needles. He tells me to breathe in and he says on two and before he says three, he pushes the needle through my penis, into a cork. He lets it sit there as he gets the curved barbell out. He pulls the needle through and slides the barbell through and screws it back on.

There was no pain, just an initial pinch and nothing. It felt cold, and weird to have something there. I paid him, tipped him and me and my friends walked to the train station a couple miles away. I was thinking that the adrenaline was making it not hurt. I was wrong, the rest of the day it just didn't feel like anything. It just felt tight where it was pierced.

However that night, that night was terrible. I went to sleep, and I get the regular erections men get when sleeping. And OW. I tell you, it's not pleasant to be awoken by a sharp stabbing pain in your crotch. I go to sleep after it goes down, since I was exhausted, then I roll on it. More pain. For about a month, it was like this and I learned not to move while sleeping.

It's been 3 years now and I love it. It feels great during sex and I can pull it out and put it back in with no pain. It's fully healed and I highly recommend it if you're considering a penis piercing without much healing time. I'm considering getting more, maybe a ladder.

The overall healing time for me was about a month. Though the slight pain stopped after about 12 days and I could change the jewelry (without pain) after about 18 days. It healed up very fast.
