I can admit that I am a some-what impulsive person. I act on everything, which can be a good thing or a bad. But I must say that getting my hood vertical pierced where one of my better ideas.
At A Glance Author Linzee Contact Linzee@bme.anon IAM Linzee When A week ago Artist Ian Studio Harm City Location Towson, MD The genius idea hit me a little while ago. I was dabbling around on mod sites which was always one of my favorite things to do when writing up papers on my computer. And after a few papers I ran into the "Female Genital" section of the site, a forbidding place which reeked of "Nuh-uhs" and "Never-Evers" from my subconscious. But it was either do the report or check out the pictures; I choose the latter of the two.
I wasn't horrified nor deeply moved by the pictures before me, but rather in apathy. But, I think when I laid my eyes on the vertical clitoral hood piercing is when I got the revelation. It was plain as day to see that it laid right upon your clit to stimulate it. It was discrete and little. I'm into discrete and non-flashy. After reading experiences, it wasn't very clear if getting pierced was excruciating pain or do-able pain and that made me a little stand off-ish. I decided to predict it was somewhere in the middle with agonizing and painfully orgasmic. And it was a rather big plus to know that sensitivity loss wasn't a big with these piercing. So I guess I got hooked to the idea, it just took me months to do it.
When the time came for me, I called up the local piercing place for his personal background information with my particular piercing. I got Ian on the line and though he's done me before with flying colors, my genitals mean a lot to me and I want to make sure they are in good hands. He checked out with me and off I went with my two friends for moral support.
The shop was empty, Ian's girlfriend on the couch. We chit-chatted, form fill out, and the regular recital of the aftercare. And not to sound stuck up, but I really wasn't that nervous. Or maybe I was so terrified I didn't notice it. Whatever it was I was ok.
I got into position as he dotted his entrance and exit, and with approval from me, he clamped instead of freehand. Well, let me lay this out for you all to picture, I was laying on my back with just a shirt on and my legs hanging over the edge of the pleather topped table, my left arm at my side and my right over my stomach. I was staring off at the ceiling lights as he said to me, "Breath in..." (aka, I'm going to stab you now) and I felt it...I didn't scream, I just grabbed the table with my left and my back arched off a bit. But then it was gone. Nothing, no pain. I think it was because I was in a state of calmness that helped with the pain.
I would give it an over-anticipated.
We got the bar in, easy-peasy and Ian complemented on the way I took it. I'm really happy that I didn't buck, or else I would have caused him to mess up the piercing. Then he told me a horror story on a female genital piercing:
The woman laid down, unshaven and he started to do his thing. The needle went in fine but when he was pushing the bar in after it, it wouldn't go all the way in. Now that's a predicament. He couldn't understand why until he noticed a hair had been threaded in the newly pierced hole, so he'd have to take out the hair while holding the needle and bar in place. Though it ran smoothly after that, I can only imagine the pain that woman felt. So the moral of that story was to TRIM TRIM TRIM!
I went to go pay $84 plus tip. We then talked a little more about after care and gave me everything I needed and more for free. That Ian is a really swell guy. He also recommended after the healing, that I increase the 16g that I have in me to a 14 or 12g. He likes to pierces with smaller, which was ok with me.
The healing was ok. I clean with a 2 cups water, 1 tsp sea salt mixture once a day and a 2 to 3 times a day cleaning with Provon, which is a kind of medical soap.
I was a very naughty girl, I had sex the 3rd day after the piercing session regardless to what Ian said (I was supposed to wait for a month). It was uncomfortable. Don't let your boyfriend/ girlfriend persuade you to do anything!! I went to work the next day and felt as if I had sex with a porcupine. The constant heat and the pants rubbing up against it all the time. It was a tad sore by itself as well but not unbearable, but probably more than I had to deal with.
The sexual stimulation has been rather minimal for me so far, but I wouldn't abandon the idea forever. My one friend said that after her 6 month mark, the stimulation was constant and strong. She claims to have had orgasms while driving fast down deserted roads. I think that would be rather fun actually, but she decided it was too much and took it out.
If you're still contemplating on whether to get it done, I'd say go for it. If your good to it, it'll be good to you!
