At A Glance Author anonymous Artist Brian Studio Piercing Experience Location Atlanta, Ga

Piercing is not for only the young or new X generation fad prone. Having come from a traditional family and been raised to always play by the rules, body piercing was never even thought of much less considered. However, as I entered my 40's I found myself searching for a more exciting and stimulating form of sexual gratification without risking exposure and condemnation. Having seen a man with his nipple pierced in a magazine, I could not get the image out of my head. I began discussing it with my girl friend, another southern conservative, to see her reaction. At first it was somewhat cool but it seemed like everyday she would bring the subject up for discussion. I told her that I wanted to do it but did not want to risk our relationship or her feelings for me. She assured me that if this was what I wanted to do, go for it. We searched the phone book for a local establishment and were lucky enough to select not only a professional studio but also someone whom we have both come to think of as the best piercer in the business. From what I have read not everyone is this fortunate. In any case, one afternoon we visited Brian and I had my left nipple pierced. Having always been so conservative, the pain and pleasure of the experience was intoxicating. It felt like I was finally in control of my own body after more than 40 years on this earth. The healing process went great, no problems at all. However, within a week I was sorry that I had only had one nipple pierced. I once again discussed my feelings with my girlfriend. She had become fixated at how my nipple looked and had even asked what I thought about her having a nipple pierced. Within days we were both back in the studio. I had my right nipple pierced and my girlfriend had not one, but both of hers done.

The best part of the entire experience is that no numbing solutions of any type were used. It was explained to us that we should enjoy the entire process to include the brief pain association. It could not have been better. Having our nipples pierced has not only brought us together closer as a couple, but the sexually heightened feeling have improved our sex 100%.

As I entered my mid 40's I began to experience occasional problems with not only obtaining but also maintaining an erection. Although my girlfriend was very understanding, she wanted sex when she wanted it which is everyday. It was she who had discovered BME on the net and had first showed me pictures of male genital piercings. With further research she also read that many men claimed that the feeling at climax increased dramatically. At first I thought she was crazy wanting to pierce my penis. But with a few days, I agreed. When we entered the studio, my girlfriend selected the largest of three captive rings on display. She told me that if we were going to do this, we should do it right. Our piercer agreed that her selection was a good one and there should be no problems. The rush of pain and pleasure that flowed through my body when the piercing took place can not be described. I was a little less confident while walking out with my penis wrapped up in gauze but my girlfriend's excitement was well worth it. All she could talk about was wanting to feel the ring inside her pussy. Within days I was going crazy from not having had sex but our piercer had warned against the exchange of body fluids with a fresh piercing. After a week I could stand it no longer. Each morning I had been waking up with the most beautiful, but painful hard on. I had to have some relief and so my girlfriend brought me off by masturbation. I have never, ever, felt so good. With all the talk of Viagra and penile implants going around I think the medical community should be recommending men to get Prince Albert piercing. My sexual dysfunction problems have been eliminated. My girlfriend has since had her hood pierced and we are planning on having not only her inter but also her outer labia pierced within the month. I will forward the photos as soon as possible.

One interesting side note, my girlfriend's teenage daughter has been asking us questions related to having her tongue or "something else" pierced. She cannot get over how cool it is to have parents who are willing to discuss her wants. Neither of us would push her towards doing anything without completely researching the effects and possible side effects of such a procedure. But at least we can point her in the right direction.

For all of the young and young at heart, do not even hesitate when considering a body piercing. It is not something terrible or dirty. It is something to be enjoyed, admired, and shared with your lover. Thank you BME for providing a format for all to share their experiences as well as providing an educational research site.
