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.

    Syphilis is *very* treatable; if you catch it early it can be treated with only a single dose of penecillin.

    I’d guesses guiche piercings with a deep sub. Oops.

    i just thought of something…this guy can’t use a condom. i mean, he could, but it wouldn’t prevent pregnancy nor would it fully (or as fully as condoms normally do) protect his partner from stds he might be carrying.

    this puts an interesting wrench into the whole discussion of the sex lives of people with heavy genital mods. Shannon, has this ever really been covered in an interview or anything? i’d love to see some sort of statistics on people who have these sorts of mods–are they single, married, asexual, het/homo/bi/whatever, do they worry about the std/pregnancy issue given the above-noted factors, etc.

    why do people always say ‘penii’?
    it’s penises. or penes.

    …sorry, i’ve got a hard-on for etymology.

    Castro: It’s a running gag. In the 1990s hacker/underground scene, the plural of “virus” started being spelled “virii”. That was later expanded to any and all words ending in -us and -is.

    Just out of curiosity, to have the two balls…well each on its own, is it necessary some sort of surgery or just stretching enough at some point the guy could put each at one side?

    Oddly enough though, it makes me think of a Newton’s Cradle.
