My PA and a change of Mind

At A Glance Author AggieBear Contact AggieBear@bme.anon Artist Steve J Studio Obscurities/Trilogy Location Oaklawn (Dallas, TX)

The first time I ever saw a Prince Albert I knew I had to have one. A friend showed me the pictures of an stunning 40ish cigar chomping stud with ring of metal hanging from the tip of his penis. I must admit that it made for a beautiful picture. I thought it to be one of the most erotic images that I had ever seen.

Now of course, had you asked me a year before that day what I even thought about tattoos and body piercing I would have given you some long drawn out story about how that is something that shouldn't be done and that you would never see me doing anything so stupid. I don't know whether it was my conservative up bringing, my religious beliefs, or the fact that I attended an ultra-conservative university...or maybe it was just that I hadn't accepted my true identity. You see, at that time I still hadn't removed myself from the back of the closet. Somewhere back there behind the old shoes and hand-me-downs was a very adventurous gay man yearning to come out.

Since coming out I have not only become aware of my sexuality but also my affinity to leather, tattoos and body piercing, all of which seem to go hand in hand very well.

I spent lots of time thinking about whether or not I should actually get the Prince Albert done. Remembering that it would be something that I would most likely have to live with for a while. Thinking about the possible pain, uncomfortable situations in the gym locker room, etc. I finally decided that I was going to get it done. I went in to the piercing parlor; looked around at the jewelry and asked a few questions and then proceeded to walk my butt out the door. That's right. I chickened out. Actually I did it twice. Looking back now I see how silly it was, but how was I to know. On the third attempt I made a friend go with me. I think it was actually more difficult on him than it was on me. He had to watch the whole procedure. The worst part was waiting. I must have sat in the waiting room for an hour before they were ready for me.

I started out with a 10 gauge circular barbell. I loved the way it looked. I couldn't wait to "use it". I wanted to masturbate so bad, but I was going to follow the rules. Well, I tried to. I made it two weeks before I came for the first time w/ the new PA. I was fabulous. The sensitivity of the head of my penis was much more than I remembered it. But what about having sex with it in. I was going to have to wait at least 4 more weeks before I could use it for something that strenuous.

My plans backfired a little though. I contracted a non-specific infection. Now, do you really think that I was going to take my freshly pierced dick to my family doctor in the suburbs. Not on your life. I had go back to my piercer and find a piercing friendly doctor. Thanks god for small favors. He is now my regular physician. He handled it all very well. He had predominantly gay patients so I'm sure he sees these things all the time.

Well, I finally get that all under control and the rest goes pretty well. Sex is great w/ the Prince Albert and Oral Sex is even better. After about a year and a half I decided to moved up to an 8. The procedure for the stretching was pretty simple. I probably could have done it on my own, but I went back to the studio just for safety (just call me safety-boy). Even though the stretch was easy I did have some discomfort for a few weeks afterwards. I guess it was from the extra weight. I took it out for about a week to let some of the irritation go away and then put it back in. It seems to be fine now. I don't know if I am going to try and go any larger.

Getting the PA opened my mind to other opportunities as well. I just got my first tattoo as well. A beautiful Celtic/Tribal combination arm band on my left arm. It took about 2 hours to complete and cost about $180. I've had lots of complements on it. I basically went through the same process w/ the tattoo as I did w/ the PA. I spend lots of time deciding whether I really wanted to get it done or not. Once I decided I had to decide on a design. I took three pictures into the studio and showed them what I liked about each one. About a week later we came together and looked at what the artist had come up with. We twiked a little here and changed some things there...and then I saw it. The tattoo that I just had to have.

So what is in the future. Next will be the nipples. I am planning on getting them both pierced. Mostl likely 12 gauge, but I'm not sure. Thinking about another tattoo (probably on my back this time) that matches the pattern on my arm and a few more piercings. Maybe a frenum or a guiche.

What would be the number one thing that I would tell anyone thinking about getting a piercing? What out...it can be addictive.
