I love this thing!

At A Glance Author lars Artist Bryiah Dailey Studio Taurian Body Piercing Location Houston, TX

During the summer, I finally decided to move 'below the belt' so to speak. The girl I was seeing talked me into getting a PA...finally. I have been fascinated with piercings for years, but always thought I didn't have the courage to get one in my genitals.

- BACKGROUND - The first time I ever saw a piercing was in the 5th grade on a show on the TV. This girl was showing off a picture of her bf's pierced penis. I guess since then, I've always been very curious about them. The thought of it didn't make me cringe unlike my schoolmates. Little did I know years later they would be cringing at me =)

Anyway, back to the story. The girl I was seeing knew about my other piercings (nips, navel, many ears) and tats, and we talked about genital piercings a lot. I tried to convince her to get some done herself, but to no avail. She ended up volunteering to pay for my PA, so I decided why not.

- THE DEED - I dropped by her house one day and announced that I was going to Houston to get the PA and asked if she wanted to come too (dammit, if I'm getting my penis pierced you should come too!). She said she was not feeling well and gave me a hundred dollar bill and apologized. Oh well, looks like I get to make the journey myself.

I made it Taurian fine. It was a Sunday afternoon, so no one else was there. I told Bryiah I was the guy who called earlier about a PA, and we started talking about it. Just general stuff - healing, ring size, etc. Thanks to BME I was able to research this piercing a lot before getting it, which really calmed my mind. Plus Bryiah is the only piercer I trust so I was very comfortable.

We decided on a 10 gauge 3/4 inch CBR. I signed the forms, paid $68, etc. and went to one of the piercing rooms. I layed on the table and dropped my pants. He said it might bleed, so not to worry, and that being circumcised doesn't matter. I wasn't very worried about all of this since getting a cock ring is something I've always toyed with, but now was finally getting. Plus, I've had someone else do much worse (circumcision is basically socially acceptable mutilation) to my penis before, so what harm is a voluntary piercing? I think of my PA as a step to reclaim my genitals by _me_ choosing to get it modified rather than my parents.

So back to the piercing itself. He poked a hole in a paper towel and my penis went through it (for the blood.) I started breathing and looked at the ceiling. He asked if I was ready (I was) and put the receiving tube down my urethra. I've heard this is the most uncomfortable part for some people. It wasn't that uncomfortable really, it just made me feel like I had to pee very bad. I took three deep breaths, and he pierced me on the third exhale.

Yes, it hurt for a split second but was no-where near being unbearable. It was slightly pleasurable actually, in an odd way ;) There was some blood trickling down the side which soon stopped. He asked if I was still okay (I was) and then closed the ring. But before he did, I raised my head to look at the needle poking through my penis. I made the remark that seeing a needle down there was the most interesting thing I have even seen, we both laughed, and I leaned back. I sat for a while admiring my new hardware. He put "The Glove" on me and told me to wait a while before removing it. He also said to expect discomfort when I urinated the first few times. Then I got cleaned up and went into the lobby. I was the only customer there, so Bryiah and I talked for a while. He's a very friendly piercer and I highly recommend him. Some people say Taurian is too expensive, but I disagree. I don't think you can really put a price on getting mods done in a clean and comfortable environment.

- AFTERWARDS - I was feeling pretty good from all this, so I called my girl at home. We both had a _very_ good laugh over this, and she told me I was owned now. Eh, whatever... she paid for it so I guess so :P

The ride home was very interesting. My stereo system vibrates my truck seats, and I was listening to some techno music. My seat was shaking pretty hard and I swore I was going to have an orgasm if I didn't turn the music down! Already I was seeing this was a very pleasurable piercing.

I almost made it home without stopping, but had to pee so I stopped. I was very scared to look inside the glove since there was a good bit of blood inside of it. I couldn't hold it in, so I tried to pee very slowly so it wouldn't hurt or splatter. oops! I made quite a mess trying to go standing up, so my apologizes go to that mini-mart. I was able to go by sitting down though...but DAMN did it hurt! Peeing out broken glass is all I can describe it as. I put the glove back on and drove home.

I took a shower later that night, chunked the glove, and tried to pee again. It still hurt, but not that bad. I'd say 3 days later there was no discomfort. - HEALING - This was a very easy piercing to heal. I used medical soap to clean it once a day and drank LOTS of water to aid in cleaning it. I didn't masturbate for a week which helped also...but I had to go slowly. Seeing bloody semen isn't pretty! About 3 weeks later I was able to masturbate with no problem at which time I declared it healed fully.

- IS IT WORTH IT? - YES!!!!!!! My penis just feels so much better. I love to feel the ring in it. I went off to college a week after getting it done, so I never got to try it out in sex with my (now ex)girlfriend =( All I can say is that jacking off is so much better, and I can safely assume sex would be too. The only problem is learning how to pee with it at first. Once I get the hang of it, I didn't have to sit down to go anymore. So yes, this is a worthwhile piercing. It looks awesome and feels good too.

Another problem (maybe) is people think you are an absolute freak for getting it done. I go to a conservative college, and the few people who have found out think it's just not right to do it and wont talk to me. Screw them! It's your body, and no one has any right to tell you what not to do to it.

- STRETCHING - On New Years Eve, my brother and I went back to Tuarian. There I got Bryiah to stretch it up to an 8 gauge circular barbell. It did not hurt, nor was it even mildly uncomfortable. I prefer this new jewelry. It's bigger and heavier for one thing. Plus I can easily remove this one, something I couldn't do with a CBR. I plan on getting it stretched to 6 gauge soon...maybe I'll even go to 0 gauge =) I should since it keeps getting better each time!

- THE END - I love my PA. If you are considering getting one done, go for it! It doesn't hurt much, and the benefits are great.

Later.
