PA.PA's got a brand new hole

At A Glance Author Bear Contact Bear@bme.anon Artist Rich Studio Cold Steel Location Camden, London

Many long nights were spent absorbing and assimilating every piercing experience on BME before finally facing the needle - so the writing of my story brings my piercing experience full circle.

Between the ages of 17 and 21 (college days) I had several earrings (including cartilage) and a nose ring. Rather strangely, before my PA I had also worn piercing jewellery in my penis - I was 'cut' at the age of two and some of the stitches holes from the circumcision have healed in such a way that jewellery can be easily worn. One of the stitch holes is even a sweet little Frenum!

After leaving university I had to take my piercings out in order to get a suit and tie style job and I didn't think about piercing for the next few years. At the end of last year I spent a lot of time just hanging out with my old friends from college and two of them now have nipple piercings and one has a PA. From that moment I had to have piercings again ­ maybe to get back in touch with the part of myself I lost when I swapped my identity for a regular pay packet.

After a solid three weeks of being addicted to the experiences on BME and searching on the Internet I came across Cold Steel piercing studio in London, I checked them out - APP accredited, local health authority inspected studios, regular spore testing of the autoclaves, etc. I even did a sneaky visit and pretended to browse their jewellery in order to observe the staff and soak up the atmosphere. No problems there.

I made the appointment for a weekday afternoon ­ I knew that I had no meetings in the diary and could stagger off home for some sweet tea! This may sound hard to imagine to some but I was really, really, really excited and diligently drank no booze for the allotted 24 hours beforehand ­ all the time finding it hard to contain my excitement.

Then, disaster! Phone call ­ can you make an urgent meeting at 3pm for 3 hours. My appointment was at 3pm. I called Cold Steel and after some deliberation on my part I decided to move the appointment forward by an hour and I would just have to get through the meeting. In retrospect I should have re-fixed as the meeting was very demanding and I was pretty spaced out.

I arrived at Cold Steel and Rich went upstairs to set up. I felt a bit out of place in my suit and tie, but this was my issue and the staff weren't fazed at all - I think I freaked the other customers out a bit though! Up to the studio, trousers down, lie back and make small talk. Rich was great, he didn't joke about and had a bedside manner that would do most doctors credit ­ I felt that I was in the hands (literally) of a professional.

There were lots of shenanigans going on with my penis but I was looking at the ceiling so I don't know what they were. I highly recommend not looking, it was quite relaxing just being cleaned, examined and handled without seeing the instruments and needles ­ almost like being at a penis beautician!

The receiving tube was a little uncomfortable but I had already started the breathing exercises and they really helped. Then on the second of two big breaths there were two sensations that lasted less than a second:

1. The feeling of the smooth needle sliding through the flesh and literally 'popping' through my penis (actually quite a nice sensation on its own).

2. A sudden crashing of electricity where every cell in my body seemed to scream for a split second. Before I could even recognize the sensation as pain it was gone.

Keep breathing I heard myself say and then warm waves of adrenalin and endorphins washed over my body. I was smiling and frankly flying as high as a kite ­ a lovely feeling! I didn't even notice the 2.2mm (~10 gauge) CBR being inserted.

After giving me 60 seconds to recover, Rich explained the aftercare and dressed my member with paper towels and 'the glove'. It had shrivelled up so much even the elastic band was too big ­ it looked like a frightened mouse but I knew it now had the roar of a lion.

The meeting was hard and it didn't finish for four hours ­ I changed the dressing half way through the meeting as there was some blood in the glove that was getting sticky. When I got home there was loads of blood everywhere, I felt sick. The blood had soaked through two gauze pads, a sterile white cotton glove (glove dressing for hand wounds), a pair of boxers and stained my suit.

(I think I made a mistake in dressing the wound ­ I had pushed the ring over to one side to keep it close to the head of my penis so it wouldn't catch on anything. I think this had created the medieval style 'blood letting' and resolved to let the ring hang straight. This really helped to control the bleeding).

Quickly, jumping out of my clothes my penis started to bleed heavily again. A solid and fast drip, drip, drip for about 20 mins. Then it stopped. I decided on only using the natural sea salt soaking/cleaning in conjunction with a super high quality diet and vitamin supplements ­ it seemed to work very well. Pissing was bitter sweet on the first night, so much pain, so much pleasure....

I bled heavily that night and woke up with a 'third leg' style hard-on which felt like someone had bitten the end of my dick off and was tenderly licking the stump. But again, there was pleasure and pain in equal proportion ­ this sensation was not unpleasant or pleasant, it was a new class of sensation entirely.

The bleeding stopped quite quickly over the next few days but the piercing remained pretty sore and I dressed it in a fresh glove for sudden knock protection every day for a week. Salt soaks were done twice a day when possible and meals were regular and high in fresh vegetables/pulses.

The first orgasm experience was after four days and majestic in its intensity and duration ­ if this is your first genital piercing, the first orgasm is easily the best you'll ever have had in my opinion. Don't waste it - wait until the piercing is comfortable and settled down a bit.

I'm now four weeks into the experience now and whenever I think of my PA, I smile :-).

Thanks for reading my experience ­ if you are currently considering this piercing I look forward to reading yours!

Good luck.
