Well, it hasn’t even been a week since we first noted Micah‘s pretty ingenious prostheses he developed to address a necessary but unfortunate lobe split (we also shamefully misspelled his name not once, but twice. Guhhh), and now, be it inspiration or coincidence, Helsinki-based klitoris has fashioned himself a similar set-up. He, of course, has opted for some danglier (or “blingier,” to hear him tell it) jewelry. The original posting was a bit controversial among the commentariat, and the fact that this idea is SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE is sure to fire up some lively debate, so let’s do our best to set the terms, shall we? Is this an example of the cleverness and ingenuity that makes this community great, or is it an insidious trend that will destroy body modification as we know it? The truth is likely somewhere in between. (Or maybe just the first one.)

Read Klitoris’s page. The lobes weren’t split accidentally and they are only 16. I feel uneasy about it.
Interesting!
There’s really nothing someone can do for a split other than this, or have it repaired. Many people simply don’t have the money for this.
But I would like to think that just because it’s different…people aren’t going to go out and split their lobes for this. Splitting your lobes isn’t healthy for them or, for that matter, the community.
…not to mention. The general population seems to think split lobes are disgusting, in terms of aesthetics, and spend a lot of their time AVOIDING splits. 😛
Sorry for the double-post, but I forgot to include…
Someone who has snipped their ears at half an inch, and then strapped in a plug at say, two inches, does not have two inch lobes. That’s…ridiculous. The actual lobes are still the same size, if not smaller.
There is no easy way to get there.:)
Brilliant and Beautiful!
