Do Dick Piercings Enhance Your Sex Life?

Do you know Prince Albert? No, not the actual Prince of Monaco, Albert II, but the penis piercing that goes by that name? If you don’t already have a ball closure ring or some other jewelry adorning your manhood, you probably wonder why, for fudge’s sake, somebody would have their genitalia pierced, risking infection, bleeding, scarring, and God knows what else! First of all, this type of piercing adds to self-expression in many ways. And second of all, it can improve your performance in bed. So, the actual Prince Albert may not be able to change your sex life (or any other aspect of your life, for that matter), but a PA piercing sure can! Or at least they say so…

What’s your tribe?

Antonio Pigafetta, a Venetian scholar who accompanied Magellan on his first voyage around the world, was one of the first European explorers who described the penile piercing that he witnessed among the Visayan people in the Phillippines. These piercings, he wrote, were done to boys at an early age for the purpose of enhancing pleasure during sex with their future female partners. Besides the Philippines, this practice was widely spread also in other South-Asian cultures and had tribal roots. It was used as a rite of initiation, of passing from boyhood to adulthood. It was during the Victorian era that the practice of body piercing in the Western world became kinda fashionable - mostly among men and women with royalty status. But it wasn’t until the second decade of the 21st century that genital piercing became a part of the mainstream culture, with “nice and normal” people endorsing it, too.

Not-one-piercing-fits-all rule

Nowadays, an increasing number of men, hetero and homosexual, are interested in getting a genital piercing. Some of them, though, are not really sure which of the many options to select, so it’s the best one both for their sexual partners and themselves.

OK, let’s start with the ones for beginners.

They are called Hafada and Lorum and are done on the ballsack, which is considered the least hazardous part of the male anatomy to pierce and heal. The reason is that the scrotum does not contain major blood vessels, and the tissue is pretty soft and stretchy. Prince Albert and its reverse version are the next level, and also the most popular choice among men, and gay men in particular. If you opt for this type of piercing, you should be aware that it’s done by inserting the jewelry through the urethra, and out of the glans. Because Deep Dorsal Vein and the Pudendal Artery are at stake here, it’s absolutely required that you refer to a professional, licensed piercer for this procedure. Аmpallangs and Apadravyas cross the head horizontally and vertically respectively, and guys like those because they are believed to increase pleasure during sex. But do they, really?

The cons and pros

Unlike clitoral piercings, which can give girls explosive orgasms even without touching (!), penile piercings have mostly aesthetic and ego-boosting effects for their owners. And there are other cons, too. One has to pee sitting down (at least in the first weeks after the procedure) and be really careful in public urinals because the stream can go really wild. There is more bad news. Besides the risks of complications, like excessive bleeding, infections, fistulas, and so on, one has to abstain from sex AND masturbation for 4-6 weeks until the complete healing of the tissue. However, the fun side of having your penis pierced is a huge payoff. Guys with a genital piercing report that knowing that they have a metal ring at a special place makes them feel like badass - naughty, daring, almighty. And you bet that when in places where nudity is allowed, it attracts people’s stares more than an erection does. And yes, the penile piercing feels absolutely amazing for the penetrated person. It’s a game changer, they say. So why not try it yourself?…
