Up until a few years ago, the thought of having something sticking out the end of my prick was the last thing on my mind. I had my left nipple pierced a few years ago, and that was a great experience, but I didn't want a needle going through my privates.

I mentioned it to my boyfriend a little over a year ago and he threatened to never have sex with me again if I went through with it. It just freaked him out, so I dropped it. Well, we split up about a month ago, so I decided it was time.
I called a local place that said they didn't do PA's, but they referred me to a place in Iowa City, which is only an hour away, so after work, I drove up to have it done. I have to admit I was having second thoughts on my way there, but I had already told a couple of people I was going to do it, and I didn't want to look like a wimp.
I told the guy at the counter what I wanted and he just acted nonchalant about it. I guess it's not his member getting stabbed. He told me the price and picked out a captive bead ring and said it would be about ten minutes for everything to sterilize. There was another guy ahead of me getting his ears pierced anyway, so I had some more time to think about what was about to happen.
When it was finally time, he had me go in the back room and he laid out the tools. I didn't even want to look at them, I'm not a big fan of needles. He had me drop my drawers and cleaned everything and marked where the hole would be. I was dreading the receiving tube the most, but it actually wasn't as bad as I had imagined. It definitely stung, but it was nothing like what was about to happen.
I have to admit I wasn't expecting a whole lot of pain. When I had my nipple pierced, the actual piercing wasn't painful. It hurt while it healed, but the pain from the needle was minor. Not the case with the PA! I wasn't prepared for the pain I felt when the needle went in. It probably wouldn't have been unbearable if it had been over in a few seconds like in all the experiences I've read. But no, the needle didn't go all the way into the receiving tube like it's supposed to, so he kept trying to force it, all the while sending jolts through my prick like I've never felt before.
Of course, I had no idea what was really going on because I wasn't watching. I did, however, notice it was taking a lot longer than I expected. He finally stopped and asked me how I was doing. I asked him if it was over and he said, "No, we're actually hung up at the moment". I'm like "What do you mean hung up?" And he explains what happened (which I still don't completely understand) and says he needs to get another receiving tube but doesn't want to leave me if I'm feeling faint. I'm thinking, just do what you need to do to get this thing done with! I have a needle sticking through my member!!! Fortunately, it doesn't hurt as long as he's not trying to force it, so he goes in the other room and runs right back. I could tell he was a little nervous, which made me completely freak out. When he came back, he said to relax (yeah, that was going to happen) and take deep breaths. You would have thought I was in labor the way I was breathing, but within a few seconds it was all over with and the ring was through.
I am not ashamed to admit that I was on the verge of passing out at this point. I had sweat pouring everywhere and my arms were tingling. He reclined the chair and got me some water, which calmed me down. I asked him about what happened and he tried again to explain it to me and assured me that it didn't do any harm and that the piercing was successful. I wanted desperately to believe him and the pain was over with, so I felt much better about things at that point.
It was a long drive home. I was talking to myself the whole way, pumped up about what had just happened and at the same time scared as hell about what had just happened. I stopped at Walgreens on the way home and picked up all the things I needed to help the healing process. I was amazed at the amount of blood when I got home and took my shorts off. I cleaned up the best I could and wrapped it up with gauze. It bled a lot that night, I kept changing the gauze every couple of hours. I dreaded going to work the next day (I should have done it on a weekend). I walked bowlegged and had to be real careful whenever I sat down. I'm sure my coworkers were wondering what was wrong, but nobody said anything.
It's only been about 48 hours since this happened, but the bleeding stopped after the first 24 hours. There may be a drop or two every once in a while, but nothing major. It's still sore when anything touches it, especially when I sit down, but it's getting better. The buring when I pissed only happened a couple of times and it was minor.
I hope I'm not scaring anyone away from getting a PA, because my whole point in writing this is that if I can go through what happened and still be happy I did it, I think anyone can handle it if things go the way they should. Of course it hurts to have a needle go through your prick, but you can handle the pain for a few seconds. I can't wait until it heals enough to try it out and I love the way it looks. It's a shame most people will never know it's there!
