A great P.A. experience

After reading all the stories about how painful other people's P.A.s were, I decided to send mine in. I got my P.A. about 3 months ago, after much deliberation about getting metal in my dick. I weighed the pros and cons with my good friend and piercer Brett. He's got a P.A. and told me the honest truth. I thought some more and decided to make an appointment.

I spent the week before the piercing going back and forth in my head about whether I should do it and how much it might hurt. The potential pain was terrifying. I kept thinking, "this is my dick! I don't wanna fuck it up!". The day of the piercing came and I gave in to my fear and called Brett to cancel. He calmly assured me that I would survive the experience but told me that if I really had second thoughts to not do it. I gathered my courage and drove down to the shop. I spent the whole drive psyching myself up to do it, telling myself that this was gonna be a great experience.

Slave to the Needle is a clean, friendly and above all, professional shop. Everyone there is really cool and they don't have that "cooler than you" attitude that some shops have. If it's your first or 51st tat/piercing, they treat you with courtesy and respect. Brett took some time to make sure I was calm and ready for this experience, which I definately appreciated. Two other people from the shop came in to watch, which made the whole "shrinkage" factor even more embarassing. Brett explained every step of the process while he worked and was totally professional. I closed my eyes and Brett had me breathe slowly while he made his markings and inserted the guide tube, which stung a little. He then said he was inserting the needle and that I'd feel a slight pinch. He had me take a deep breath and when I let it out, he slid the needle through. It wasn't much more than a slight pinch, to my surprise. I looked down and there was a 12 ga CBR hanging from my cock. Brett wrapped it up in gauze, put a condom on it, and we then hung out and had dinner at a friend's house.

Apart from some bleeding for the first day and a half, healing was pretty easy. It stung some when I pissed but soaking it in sea salt was great. Imagine putting the head of your cock in warm water for about 5 minutes. It was like putting your feet up after a hard day's work. My whole body just relaxed and I felt great.

I can honestly say that my P.A. was the least painful of my piercings and I have my tongue, my right nipple and my ears in addition to the P.A. so we're talking about pretty standard piercings. I've now double-jumped to an 8 ga curved barbell with 5/8 beads on each end and that was even easier than the piercing. I had my eyes closed again and I didn't believe Brett when he said the barbell was in. I didn't feel a thing. Guess I'm lucky that my P.A. has been pretty pain free.

My girlfriend hadn't been with a guy wtih a genital piercing before and she loves the fact that my dick is more sensitive. Oral sex is sooooo much better with the P.A. and doggy-style sex is great. Masturbating is definately more pleasurable now, too. I really like the idea that I've customized my penis. Brett gave the following analogy to someone regarding genital piercings: Imagine you have an old muscle car. It's fast, it handles well and it performs great. Now if you add a bigger engine or ground effects and it's even more fun to drive. That is how I look at my P.A.

The most common question, after "did it hurt?" is "why?" Well, I can't really say why. Was it for better sex? Yeah. Better orgasims? Yeah, that too, but there's something else that I can't put my finger on. I don't know why I wanted to do it, I just did.

Will I get any other genital piecings? I dunno, I've been toying with the idea of an appadravya but I'm pretty happy with my P.A. I love the way it looks, I love the way it feels and I especially love the reactions from people when I tell them about it. I'm glad that people still consider tattoos and piercings shocking or strange. This isn't for everybody, you should know exactly what you're getting into and consider how it will impact your life. Thanks to Brett and everyone at Slave To The Needle. It's a great shop and I'll definately be back for something else soon.
