At A Glance Author Christina Contact Poom1er@aol.com When A month ago Artist Boyfriend Studio Bedroom Location Brooklyn, NY I had always wanted to get a genital piercing, but I never really knew which would be right for me. I had thought about a clitoral, but the thought of some strange person touching me just didn't fly too well.While searching, my boyfriend, Billy, found that the labial piercing looked safe, and I didn't think it would hurt, too much.
Billy and I talked it over. He liked the idea, but he didn't want me to get it done by anyone. Basically, professionally. He's pretty stubborn. So with that in mind, Billy attempted to convince me that HE do it himself. He thinks that because he's pierced his scrotum, he can now pierce anything. It took my a while before thinking it through. I decided to let him. What's a relationship without trust, right? Right.
Time passed, maybe a couple weeks, and now it was his birthday. I decided to let him pierce me then. You know,as a gift of some sort. I was nervous. He put on his Megadeth dvd, and we waited until his mother stepped away to start cooking outside. God was I nervous. The last thing I wanted was for him to mess this up.
I sat on his bed, he washed his hands and then washed the jewelry and needle. Alcohol and anti-bacterial soap. He also cleaned his clamps. I situated myself, and took off my pants. He then cleaned the area and showed me where the ring would sit on my labia. I said "go for it." He clamped me.
Let me tell you, I believe this to be the worst part of this piercing. Once he clamped me and I heard the 'click' sound, the pain shot through my body. I looked at him, and thought, 'if the clamp hurt this much, the actual piercing must kill!!.' I backed out. I kept telling him him take it off. And eventually, I took it off myself. God did that hurt! I felt bad though, because i knew he really wanted to do this. So, me being me, I let him do it again. This time, I told him not to hesitate, and to just stick the needle through.
Same process. Cleaned the area and clamped me. It hurt so much more then the first time. I sucked it in, and he held up the needle. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I watched as Billy placed the needle to my skin and pushed it through the other side.
Did it hurt? Nope. It felt more like pressure then pain. There even may have been a little pinch. But, if anyone asks me if it hurt, I would tell them, no.
When he has finished the piercing, he looked up at me, and asked if i was okay. Astonished to see me not crying or making any sort of painful face, he smiled. I can see he was happy that I let him pierce me. And I was happy that he was happy.
He slowly slid the needle out, and replaced it with the CBR. I didn't feel a thing. Thank god. He snapped the ball into place, and he was done.
Did I bleed? Oh hell yeah. When i got up, there was so much blood dripping down my leg is was amazing!Some-what reminded me of a period. Some-what. Anyhow. I went into the bathroom, and cleaned the blood off, and rotated the ring a bit. i pulled up me pants. It was done and I was happy with it. Billy loved it.
Walking home wasn't a problem. It just felt rather sore. Maybe a tad uncomfortable, but worth it. When I got home, I walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I stood there, staring at it for maybe fifteen minutes. Looking at it in ever angle I could. I couldn't believe I went through with it.
The next couple days it started to hurt a bit. The CBR was bothering me and I wanted to replace it with something else, but I knew it was way too soon to be doing that. I waited maybe around two weeks before I decided to change the jewelry. I find a horseshoe very comfortable.
Cleaning this isn't a problem at all. It is rather easy. For the first two weeks, I used alcohol to clean the ring and piercing. Now, being a month later, I am using alcohol occasionally, and anti-bacterial soap to clean it with. It didn't get infected or irritated. It is healing perfect.
The longest I've ever had the ring out, was maybe fifteen to twenty minutes. My mother had walked in the bathroom one morning while I was taking a shower, and knowing my mother, If I had tried to hide it, she would find it suspicious and tell me to strip and eventually find it. So while I was in the shower, I took it out and once I got back in my room, I put the horseshoe back in. I had no trouble getting it in. During the healing process, there was some crusting, but hardly any. It's healing so perfectly and I love it.
Although I DO NOT suggest piercing anything un-professionally, I do not regret it. I love it and so does my boyfriend. Remember: Self piercings are very dangerous. Be Careful!
