I had wanted a PA for about a year before I actually got one. The general idea was that it was going to be the only piercing I had got professionally, as before I had toyed around with eyebrows, lips, nipples, bellybuttons etc piercing which I had never kept in due to ultra conservative parents.

I had played around before with play piercing once before but I felt I was ready to have something permanent and a little risqué, so I set to work raising money to fund my piercing.
A year passed, and I had not yet got the cash or the effort (I was a very lazy kid) to go out and get my piercing. That's when I first decided to do it myself.
Friends urged me to reconsider...saying my cock was the most valuable part of being a man and asking me to consider "what if it goes wrong?" but I wasn't to listen to them as my mind was already made up.
So one day I went into town, and to the local headshop which sold among all the drug paraphernalia, a lot of nice jewellery. Initially I set out to get a Captive Bead Ring about 8ga thick, but they didn't have any of sufficient size or gauge so I settled on a 2 inch barbell which was 10ga which I was going to use for a vertical Madison piercing. I bought some antibacterial soap, latex gloves, sterile gauze and bandaging and from a piercing shop on the other side of town, I persuaded the owner to sell me a 10ga sterile needle.
I planned to go back to the shop in a couple of days or travel around in order to get the correct jewellery for my PA, but I couldn't wait! As soon as I got home, I bent the barbell I had bought earlier into a curved shape of the appropriate shape, took all my equipment to my bathroom, and set it all up on a steel tray I had from the kitchen. I wish I'd taken a picture of it because it looked so medical and methodical that I knew that I was the surgeon (and the patient!) and I knew what I was going to do.
I washed well with the antibacterial soap, taking special care to clean all areas of my crotch, hands and arms, before I pulled on the latex gloves and took a cotton swab with surgical spirit on it and swabbed the area I was about to pierce.
I suddenly realised that I didn't have a receiving tube and began to panic. I had got this far so there was no going back, right? I looked around desperately for something to use, then I saw what I was looking for. I took a cotton bud (the plastic stick with blobs of cotton stuck on each end) and sliced off both ends, leaving me with a firm small plastic tube.
I cleaned this up with antibacterial soap and surgical spirit as much as I could, then proceeded to thread it down my urethra. It stung like crazy...half because generally if you stick anything up your urethra it'll sting, but the other half because I had not managed to wipe all the surgical spirit off it before inserting! If you don't know what I mean, you try putting surgical spirit on the tissue of your urethra!
In the end, I managed to get the makeshift receiving tube into position, then pushing it against the wall of my urethra, I saw it stretch out a circle of skin at the base of my head. This was it. I ripped open the piercing needle packet and carefully drove it into the skin. I was surprised on how easily it glided in. I had always used sewing needles for all my other piercings, which always gave a lot of resistance, and this was the first time I used a proper needle. I could see that the needle had gone about half it's length in without showing any signs of blood, but I had to stop at this point for a few minutes because my eyes began seeing purple and my head began to spin. I reached up and over to the sink that was beside the bath and managed to fumble around to pick up a beaker and fill it with water. I sat back and drank the water slowly while thinking about anything but the piercing in order to clear my mind.
In a couple of minutes I was ready to finish what I had started, so I moved the needle back and forth a few times in order to loosen it. Then, pushed it fully through taking it out of the urethra opening, applying equal pressure to the receiving tube so it pressed against the fresh opening before I slid the curved barbell in the fresh hole, pulling it through as I removed the receiving tube.
I screwed the balls onto each end of the barbell and sat back admiring my work. My cock was very very sore and had turned a very angry red colour around the opening to the urethra and the fresh new hole, and there was a little bit of blood, but overall I was happy.
That was several months ago. Initially it was very painful to urinate, and hard to control where I was urinating, but I got used to it, and nowadays there's no pain or discomfort, and I'm very happy with my PA. I have plans of finding a way to stretch it, possibly up to 8ga or 6ga, but at the moment I'm content with my self-shaped barbell, which I have now got a small collection of different threaded ends including spikes, jewels and a pair of neon acrylics.
As for sex, I have yet to try my PA out, and I am waiting for it to fully heal and so I may change the jewellery to something more appropriate. However, I can feel it is very sensitive, and my girlfriend seems anxious to try it out too!
