After doing much research about a PA, I thought long and hard about it. (no pud intended) I had gotten my nipples pierced along with my girlfriend about 2 years ago from Jay. I couldn't say enough about this man. He was the absolute most professional person I have ever seen in the field. He made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. There was nobody else I felt more comfortable with, in putting a sharp needle into my manhood.

After mentally getting ready for the procedure I drove up to the studio (about 45 min drive) I find out Jay has just left for the day. Wasn't really his fault nor my own. Just bad timing. So I was a bit disappointed after readying myself. So the next day was a Easter. I call and to my surprise they are open. So my girlfriend and I drive up there. Only this time I was much more nervous. I really was not prepared as much as I was the day previous. So after sweating it out in the waiting area Jay comes out to bring me back to his room.As he gets his things together he has me lay on his [strike]operating table[/strike] bed, and he goes over the procedure. Rather than pull down my pants he has me just pull my lil guy through the zipper. I'm sitting there thinking to myself that blood is gonna be all over my jeans. But hey....he is the one with the sharp objects so he is the boss. He first marks the spot where he plans on doing it. Since there are veins in that area he spends a few moments finding the best spot.
Ok as others have said in posts about this... shrinkage does occur. Next he tells me that the most uncomfortable part is about to happen. The dreaded receiving tube. Yeah it wasn't very pleasant; however, it wasn't all that bad. You grind your teeth together for a few seconds then the pain subsides. To be honest at that point I thought I was finished. But the real part was about to happen. He tells me to take a deep breath and to hold it.
At this point the voice in my head is saying be ready for the most pain you have ever felt, then...... a quick pinch... and it was over. Well almost. He still had to put in the jewelry. 12 gauge by the way. That part felt like a pinch just as much as the actual piercing. He had me look down and see what I thought. We'll I was a bit light headed. (Probably from not breathing for a minute) so I looked quick and put my head down.
After cleaning me up, he had me stand. I looked down and felt the weight hanging there. Defiantly a weird feeling. It was interesting to say the least. There wasn't all that much blood to speak of in the studio. My girlfriend who watched the whole thing said she saw some. But by the time I was standing there was none. So he wrapped me in gauze and sent me on my way. The ride home I could feel wetness. I knew it was bleeding. I just couldn't tell how much. He wanted me to soak it in sea salt and warm water and continue few times a day there after. So I got home around 6:30pm and looked at the damages... blood soaked gauze pads. So I carefully pry it off, as some of it was sticking from the blood starting to dry. At this point I'm saying to myself, why the F' did I do this. So I soak it in sea salt and warm water. Ohhhhh that felt sooooo good. After about 15 minutes I rewrap it in clean gauze. Now at 8:00pm I'm ready to go pee for the first time. I read and read about others on here and how easy it was. But this still didn't take the fear out of my mind. I sad down and said to myself:
"One....two.....three... Pee!!!" and a few blood clots came out and just urine. Wow... it really wasn't all that painful. In fact it felt ok. But after another hour I had to go again. Even though I had pee'd without a problem before I still was scared. But it was all easy going. Now its 11pm and its time for bed. I pull off the old bandages and apply new. Only now the sucker is dripping about 2x a second. Now I'm light headed. I can deal with blood, except when it's my own coming from my penis. I apply pressure, drink some orange juice and headed for bed. I put a towel down under me in case of bleeding though.
I wake up and first thing I do is look at the bed... no blood on the towel...sweet. However my boxers were about 70% red. I take a shower and clean myself off. And after getting dressed I think it's a better idea to call into work sick. Which I'm thankfull I did. Not that I was bleeding anymore, but it was a bit easier to deal with being at home. I had a difficult time for the next few days walking up stairs and getting around. But after about a week I was fine. Now a few things to think about...Morning wood
I personally get morning wood a few times a night. The first few days after getting a PA, it will wake you up. Not severe pain.. but its pain telling you, that you just got a metal ring in your cock.Peeing
I can still stand and not have to sit while peeing. However the angle of the trajectory has to be different. At least for me.. aim down more. I was expeting to spray all over the place. But that's not the case for me. However everyone is different.Sex
This topic was never really covered much (that I saw) in previous experiences. For me the piercing didn't bring much to bedroom. It didn't make it better, however it didn't make it worse either. As for my girlfriend, she has gotten use to it. At first she didn't care for the clanging in her mouth. But as far as intercourse.... It didn't make her scream "OHHH yes!!!!" as I was hoping it would . However it is fun hearing it click against her hood piercing. On a side note... my nipple piercings.... They are the best think I have ever done. One quick flick of the tongue and I am in business.Gauge
After about a month I went up to a 10 gauge. It made the piercing that much better moving to this larger size. It was so much more comfortable to wear. Jay told me the smaller the gauge the more knife effect it has on you. Meaning the thinner the metal the more it feels like its cutting into you. I am now looking at possibly going to an 8 gauge just for something different.Overall... I like the new look. After 6 months I still find myself looking at it in disbelief and I am still happy I had gone through with it. Depending on the circumstances, sexually there are times I wish didn't have it. Such as anal sex, and few positions that can make the piercing "pinch" a bit. But I think the Prince Albert is here to stay. Now I'm thinking about an Apadravyas. Time will tell if I do.
