Genital modifications of all types are all around us, from the procedures illustrated in Modcon to your everyday Prince Albert piercing. I remember thinking in my naïveté that piercing my genitals was not an activity I would ever engage in. Furthermore I viewed genital modification as something for "fetishists" or "people more extreme than I was." Things certainly do change.
At A Glance Author LoveIsUnity Contact loveisunity@kingsoflutz.com IAM LoveIsUnity When A week ago Those feelings adequately reflect the person I was at age 14 or 15 when I first started developing an interest in body modification (at the time my main interest was tattooing). I was aware that people pierced their genitals but I didn't understand the sexual or aesthetic implications of the act. I viewed it merely as something "bizarre" or "sick" which most ignorant people tend to do.
This belief, however, only lasted another couple years and I eventually (with the help of BME) learned the error of my ways. It wasn't an act that "sick" people engage in but rather people who wish to empower themselves in ways that most people can't even dream of. I began to look at genital modification as liberation rather than something which should carry a negative stigma. I was still in my "genital modification is cool for other people, but not something I'd do" stage at this point in time. It would be another year before I even planned a genital modification.
I've been planning on getting a Prince Albert for about a year now. The time is growing closer every day (I will have it in about a month) and the truth of the matter is I was really scared of having a needle go through my penis. I don't mean scared a little either, I mean really fucking scared of something going through my penis. I've had numerous tattoos, my ears scalpelled, and several large gauge piercings but for some reason the idea of a needle going through my penis really scared me. I decided the best way to assuage this fear would be to tackle it head on and pierce my genitals.
It was about 4:30 and my girlfriend and I had just showered. We got out of the shower (naked of course) when I had the epiphany to sit down right there and pierce myself. I have an abundance of needles and on that day I chose to go with 20 gauge 1 ½" play piercing needles. I got one out, removed the wrapper, sat down on the floor, and removed it from its plastic sheath. My girlfriend was looking at me dismissively but I think that's mainly because I'd been talking about doing this for a long time. I could feel it though, the time had come. I absolutely had to know what it felt like to have a needle go through your penis.
I positioned the needle perpendicular to my penis on the underside so I could pierce my frenum. I readied the piece of skin (the piercing was to be about as deep as I'd seen "ladder" piercings so I figured this would be a good way to start. I took a deep breath, and very slowly started applying pressure to the needle. This needle took no less than 10 seconds to pierce from one side of the skin to the next as I was that light handed. The sensation was unbelievable, I had just felt a needle slowly penetrate each layer of skin and finally emerge out the other side. My endorphins were now pumping and I got "the rush." This rush meant only one thing; I had to have more. By this time my girlfriend was convinced of my sincere desire to pierce my penis and had readied the camera to take pictures (I would hate to not have this momentous occasion on film).
I quickly readied a second needle positioned it slightly under the first. Although I'd already pierced myself not a minute before I hesitated on this needle as well. This one was more of a 5 second process though and felt just as good as the first one. My girlfriend snapped a couple pictures and I readied a third and fourth needle.
I decided the third needle would go at the base of my penis and this one not only went quickly but produced an amazing sensation. I could feel energy coursing through my body and I couldn't help but look up at my girlfriend, smile, and get the fourth needle ready as quickly as possible.
The fourth needle found a home just above the third needle and I've learned it's much more intense to pierce near the base of the penis rather than towards the head (at least for me). The fourth needle was quickly followed by the fifth needle and at this point in time I was just shoving them through, frantically trying to satiate my lust for more needles. I decided that since I had another needle out I might as well put it to good use. This last needle found itself above the previous two needles and below the first two. Thus my penis was thoroughly covered with needles and it was time not only to take pictures but also to show off.
My cock always seems to be out. My roommates (including my girlfriend) seem to think it's hilarious so I'm not sure why they were surprised when I went downstairs with a penis full of needles. Many people would certainly be freaked out at the prospect of walking around with needles in your penis but I was feeling so good I couldn't not share this experience with the person I lived with who hadn't seen. I viewed myself now more as a big ball of energy and less as a clunky, lethargic human.
I found my way back up stairs and decided it was time to take the needles out as my girlfriend had to go to class and I had to drive her there (not a whole lot of prior planning involved). As sad as I was to see them go I knew that there was still a treat in store for me; blood. The first needle came out with only a few drops of blood but the second needle felt like a dam had been breached as blood was literally pouring out of this opening. It was amazing to cup my hand around my scrotum and get a small handful of blood as it pooled up. The remaining four needles were removed with less blood than the first two and I immediately ran to the bathroom to clean up (not before taking pictures of course). After applying a bit of pressure the blood was all but stopped and I didn't have much to worry about as far as the holes reopening, they were, after all, only 20 gauge needles.
Normally I dispose of my needles (in a responsible manner) but this time I've kept them around. These needles are special to me and they serve as a good reminder of how far I've come. I'm very proud of these 6 needles just as I'm going to be very proud of the needle that gives me my permanent genital piercing.
