BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

That’s going to be sore in the morning!

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Stinging nettles as genital piercing jewelery? Ouch!*

* If you’re asking yourself “why”, I’ll repeat: on most of these types of activities, the goal is “more” or “extreme” sensations and pleasures (that is, it is not a “negative” action). So this is about making sex better, even if it might not do that for you!

    I tried it: it gives you a lovely sensation: no pain, but your cock become warm and bigger!

    Try nettles on your nipples, creates a great tingling. Then get your partner to pinch and suck them (nipples not nettles), intense!
