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.

    I’m female, so the results of this would obviously be different, but I’m actually starting to be rather interested in finding out what genital pumping feels like. I’m a big fan of anything swollen. *blush* 😉

    Kellex, I’ve been recommended genital pumping to be able to get certain piercings to expand the tissue, I’m starting to be really interested in it too…

    Genital pumping (for women and men) is really safe and harmless so even if you only try it once, it’s worth giving a shot!
