For over a year a friend and I had been very interested in each getting a genital piercing. She was interested in a hood piercing and I was interested in a Prince Albert. Our thoughts were plagued with should we each really get one, pain, cost, and all those other concerns that come along with needles and genitalia.
At A Glance Author Adam Contact Adam@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Nick Swartz Studio Alley Cat Location Harrisonburg, VA Almost exactly a year to the day we decided that we both finally would get them done. We did our research, all over the web, and on BME. Eventually we called the local parlors and asked about prices, we went with Alley Cat in Harrisonburg, VA since it was local and a good place. After getting all the details we finally decided we would go in, in about 3 days. We couldn't wait! We sat around talking about it, thinking how awesome the piercings would be and finally we just couldn't wait anymore. Off we went to get pierced.
She went first and the mission was successful. As I waited, people asked what I was having done, which was a new question and somewhat hard to answer. People seemed surprised and very interested. One woman made the experience better by telling me "if it helps, I started dating my boy friend because I heard he had one." Actually having the entire parlor's group support made the adventure a bit more exciting. Hell, the idea of the fun genital piercings would bring to my life was enough to get stuck.
Then my turn came. I paid, it cost around one hundred dollars and this included jewelry. I decided on the suggested 10 gauge 3/4 enclosed bead hoop and sat myself down on the table. As Nick, the piercer, got things ready I asked him my final questions. I asked about pain, healing times and all the normal stuff. Then we were off. It was one of the least painful experiences I have been through. I couldn't see what was going on, perhaps by choice. I focused on a red spot on the ceiling. He inserted the receiving tube, and after some casual chit chat the needle was through and within 2 seconds the ring was in, and the job was done.
I checked it out, liked it and decided I needed a smoke. I headed outside and my friend and I checked up on one another's progress. I went to the store, bought some gauzes and saline solution. I went home and check my new friend Albert out. He looked bloody and unhappy. I wrapped him and took it easy that afternoon. The bleeding stopped about an hour or so later, and he hasn't bled since except for a bit that night. I was impressed at how little it did bleed; it is in no way a "gusher" as others have said.
I cleaned it twice a day. Anti-bacterial soap and saline. I also soaked it in salt water every now and then. The first time I peed I was scared about any pain, but there was a light burn but nothing else. The hardest thing to get used to is the difference in how I pee. I have found that if you turn your cock over it is easier not to make a mess and your jewelry won't drip. Another thing that bothered me was sleeping. For awhile I couldn't sleep on my stomach and it still requires that I make sure it is adjusted correctly. Support in the pants is another issue. Boxer briefs kept everything under control and now my PA is again ready for free balling it. Since then it has been almost 5 weeks and it is doing great. I still clean it, but don't use saline on it anymore and it will be completely healed soon.
Looking back on this and forward, I am very happy I did it. It cost a pretty penny, but worth it. I can't wait until he is ready for action. I plan to gauge up, definitely an 8 gauge, but possibly a 6 gauge and either way with a smaller ring size possibly a 5/8 or 9/16. I would recommend getting it done, particularly with a partner that is getting something erotic pierced. There is nothing like feeling like you have new toys to play with!! It is interesting to have now; it is like a have a secret that makes life a bit more interesting as well as exciting. I have masturbated with it a few times and it s great. The Price Albert is definitely an improvement and I have heard that it makes the ride better for the woman too. I am concerned with how oral sex with a PA will work, but I feel certain that it is doable. I have never had anything pierced before this and it has been and continues to be a very exciting experience. It was awesome, with the support of people, a g reat parlor and some guts I have modified by body for the best!
