At A Glance Author anonymous four months ago i never would have considered getting a piercing done, much less getting my best friend pierced. however, events began to unfold since then which led to me getting a reverse pa last sunday. whatever reservations i may have had about this mod were totally unfounded! anyway, up until recently my only experience with body mods were the three tattoos i got in college and the fourth one i got last month. i'd just bought a new computer (my first mine-all-mine computer) and one night while surfing aimlessly (okay, maybe not-so-aimlessly) i stumbled across bme! admittedly, i had been toying with the idea of a genital piercing ever since my girlfriend had mentioned that one of her previous lovers had had an apadravya and how much she'd liked it. but she'd also she like my unit the way it was and was afraid i'd hurt her if i went through with it. so i ended up devoting some time to just exploring bme and trying to decide what the best piercing for me would be, if that time ever came. the first piercing i toyed with having done was an apadravya. but after some careful consideration i decided against that one. i was concerned about having my urethra punctured and also felt it would interfere with sex too much. the next direction i went in was toward a pair of "apadydoes" like the gentleman's i saw on bme. i talked myself out of this idea because, as i reasoned, again it would interfere with sex, and also a through-and-through piercing of my schlong seemed a bit much. after all, my motivations were simply to get a piercing that would enhance lovin' a little bit, not interfere with wearing condoms, and most of all look cool as hell! so after hemming and hawing and changing my mind several times, i finally settled on the cleopatra (even has a cool name!). well, you can probably guess what happened next. my girlfriend broke up with me. i'd gotten her pregnant and she'd had an abortion, and it really affected her. not only that, but she felt she was too young to be in a committed relationship, and really needed to establish her independence. naturally i was pretty upset about this turn of events, but was determined to make the best of things. since i'm pretty much a workaholic and don't meet too many dateable young women, i knew i wouldn't be getting any for a while. and all my research on piercing just couldn't go to waste, right? so i decided to take advantage of my unfortunate celibacy and get it done. but where? e-mailing a few studios here in denver produced zero feedback. being in a customer-service type field myself, i was a little dismayed? were piercers so busy that they didn't care about new clientele? possibilities in the yellow pages looked pretty slim, and one studio i dropped into looked really scurvy, and besides, the guy there said their piercer wouldn't do a genital piercing unless she knew you pretty well. well, i wasn't planning on staying celibate for the rest of my life; hell, i wasn't planning on having to befriend someone i was going to pay for a service. all i was looking for was a clean, professional, friendly piercer to stab a needle through my dick! was that too much to ask? back to my trusty computer. there i found a website for Bound By Design, a tatto and piercing emporium on east colfax, which if you're familiar with denver, isn't exactly an upscale neighborhood. putting aside my suburban prejudices, i picked up the phone. the young guy who answered was extremely helpful and said that if i was going to come in, i should wait until a little later when "Q" came in because he was really good with genital piercings. still unsure, i hung up the phone and sat on the couch for an hour, not fully committed yet. almost in a trance, and filled with apprehension, i got in my truck and drove downtown. i walked in to the studio, pretended to look at some tattoo designs for a few minutes to appear casual, then got up the sack to approach the young guy at the counter. turned out he was the guy i had spoke to on the phone. when i expressed how nervous i was, he was really, really cool about it, explaining that he had five genital piercings himself and that Q had done them all. starting to feel a little reassured, i picked out a 14 gauge cbr and paid for it. he again reassured me that Q had a very "unassuming" touch, which i assume was meant to allay any fears i may have had about another man handling my package. but i've been in the service and had much more intrusive inspections of various parts of my anatomy, so that was really the least of my fears. at that point he instructed me that it would take about 25 minutes to autoclave the needle and jewelry, and that i could browse around or sit on the patio if i liked. since there was a mother and daughter looking at earrings right next to me while this transaction was taking place, i was feeling kind of scrutinized, so i slinked back into the tattoo parlor to again pretend to look at designs. the next 25 minutes seemed like an eternity. my palms were soaked, and i was having momentary thoughts of calling it off. my heart jumped into my throat when i heard Q say my name from behind me and inform me that he was ready. i followed him into the piercing room and nervously asked if i should close the door behind me. he joked that it was up to me if i wanted people to watch. feeling a little more at ease, he then pointed out the autoclave and instructed me to drop trou and sit on the edge of the examination table they have there. wearing gloves, he made a few careful marks on my glans with a pen, and then asked me if a wanted to sit up or lie down. i elected to lie down, at which point he informed he was going to catheterize my urethra with a little k-y and that that might be a little uncomfortable. it wasn't, and then he informed me that he was going to but the needle into my urethra. when that was done, he said to take a deep breath, and that when i released it, he would do the piercing. i said okay, took a deep breath, held it for a brief moment, then as i started to exhale he stuck me. wow! my back arched momentarily in exquisite pain, and then it was over. i picked my head up and saw the needle in my penis. the intense pain had already subsided and i had this morbid curiosity to see the needle while it was still in. i laid my head back down and in no time at all he'd replaced the nnedle with my new jewelry. i sat up, looked down, and was fully stoked!!! it looked even better than i thought it would! and not a single drop of blood, either. when Q remarked upon this, i replied that due to my state of extreme nervousness, all my blood was somewhere else. we're talking serious shrinkage, if you know what i mean. he expertly bound me up with gauze, tape, and a glove, gave me some aftercare advice, and thanked me for coming. i gave him my business card, thanked him for being so damn professional and friendly (which he said he appreciated) and tipped him 30 bucks, since they work on donation there. he seemed really thankful, i was really pumped, and i was on my way... aftercare was a breeze, pretty much. i oozed a little blood for the first two days, but was actually able to "self-gratify" by the end of the third one. i only had to keep it wrapped up for those first two days, and i almost don't know it's there unless i lean over a car at work and tweak it the wrong way. i use gold bond triple antibiotic cream on the ring and spin it to work a little in to the piercing. since i shower twice daily anyway, it stays pretty clean. i also bought some extra-fine sea salt and drop my johnson into a cup of warm salt water to assist in healing. i don't plan on getting any more piercings; understatement is kind of where i'm at. i do plan on stretching this one to a 10 Ga bent barbell as soon as possible, because i think that will interfere less with condom wear and the thicker gauge will probably pinch less than the thinner gauge. i have ordered that piece of jewelry already, as well as a green niobium 5/8" cbr. variety is the spice of life!!! i told my (ex)girlfriend about it and pulled up the leg of my shorts to show it to her. although it appears things are over between us, she looked a little intrigued. or more likely it's my imagination projecting my excitement about my new little secret. anyway, i can't wait to get my new jewelry and do a little stretching, both on myself and hopefully on a future lover. anyway, i highly recommend this pierce to anyone considering it; there's really not that much discomfort involved, and it goes away fast, replaced by a really unique feeling. another good aspect has been that i don't have the spray effect when urinating that i anticipated. this has borne out on at least ten occasions a day for the last week, due to the copious amounts of water i've been drinking to facilitate flushing of the pierce. so if you're in the market for a quality piercing experience and you live in the denver area, get your butt down to east colfax and see the folks at Bound By Design. i'm really glad i did!!!
