Piercing through time

A piercing isn’t a new invention because the ancient Egyptians already decorated their bodies more than 4000 years ago. It was also known by other ancient cultures throughout the world. Piercing was usually performed as a ritual, to mark social status or the introduction of a boy into manhood. It was also used for other purposes. The ancient Romans put holes through the genitalia of their slaves and gladiators in order to control when they had intercourse. In Hindu tradition in India they believed that some piercings increased sexual pleasure and improved the effectiveness of certain sexual techniques.

Around 1825, male fashion was in favour of very tight trousers, so many men had problems because they wished their penis to face left or right without a bulge that was too noticeable forming on the trousers. To achieve this, many, including Prince Albert, had their sexual organ pierced and had an earring inserted, so they could hang their penis on a small hook which was sewn on the inside of the trousers. In the last three decades, genital piercing has again re-established itself as a marginal or defiant form of self-expression and a way to improve sexual life.

 

Types of penis piercing

There are many types of penis piercing and even more variations, which are limited only by your desires and the experience of the guy doing the piercing. The most popular piercing is the Prince Albert, which starts at the bottom side of the head of the penis, near the top, and goes upwards on the urethra and through the opening. Urination is a bit more difficult because there are two holes instead of one, but most men say that this isn’t a great problem with a bit of practice.

The other most common type of piercing is the one where you put a hole through the frenulum, the floppy skin on the bottom side of the penis, just below the head. You can have several piercings inserted along the bottom side of the root of the penis, which then looks like a sort of ladder. If you pierce the skin on the bottom side of the penis, at the start of the root, where the penis connects to the body, some activities, mostly the ones which include sitting, will be pretty uncomfortable during the healing process. It’s best to avoid cycling.

The most dangerous, but according to many the most fun, is the piercing of the penis’s frontal skin, which is of course possible only with uncircumcised penises. The healing time is short and the chances of complication small. Historically, this type of penis symbolised male purity. Circumcised men who want to make up for their lost sensitivity prefer to have the head of their penis pierced, which is usually done in pair. It’s also possible to have a piercing in the crotch, between the anus and the scrotum. Some claim this stimulates the prostate, but it isn’t done often because it takes longer to heal, infections are more likely and there are difficulties when you sit down.

More advanced shapes include a horizontal hole through the whole head, where a lot of tissue is removed, so important nerves and veins can become damaged. This is definitely not a piercing for beginners and you should allow only the most experienced experts to do this. Some also insert rings or discs underneath the skin at the base of the penis, while others decorate their scrotum with jewellery. Both forms are very risky and painful, but the effect can be very extravagant.

Denis Rodman supposedly has a piercing on the penis as well. (jlp)

Why?

Why would anyone want to have a piercing in the penis with all the risks involved? Some people simply want to change something or add something to their sexual life, while others express how different they are with their piercings. Many claim that a piercing in their penis helps them achieve greater physical stimulation and their partners supposedly also benefit from it. The whole matter is also shrouded in mysteriousness, which helps the mental stimulation. The piercing shows you belong to a certain way of life, which opens doors to some exclusive social groups.
