I've been fascinated by Tattoos and body piercings for many years, and got myself a tattoo in 1985 while still at college. Soon after, I started building a career and met my wife, neither of which were particularly compatible with bodyart. Many years on I decided that I very much wanted a genital piercing, but never really had the opportunity to do so, knowing the amount of pressure I would get at home to remove it.
But a job opportunity in Colorado meant that I would not see my wife for nearly 4 months, the perfect time to let it heal before I encountered any major arguments.
I decided that either a frenum or a PA would be suitable, though I was bit unsure about a PA since I'm uncut and have a very prominent foreskin. However, I wandered down to Snake's Tattoos, and spoke to Jessica who is their resident piercer. She showed me the range of jewellry that they had in stock, and we discussed whether a PA or frenum would be suitable. I mentioned being uncut and she didn't seem to think this would be a problem. I then deliberated about whether a 12ga or 14ga would be best for the initial piercing, as that 12 ga ring looked awfully big to my little willy !!!
"No, a 12ga was better" she said, and I thought "now's the time to give it a go", OK, I'll just pop to the loo and make myself comfortable, while Jessica prepared the tools. I came back, and Ooer, I have to take my trousers and pants down in front of a lady. This is the first time my willy has been handled by a woman other than my wife, it's rather embarrassing. Still, I'm a grown man, I can deal with this, but it still shrank away like a walnut whip when confronted with a strange pair of hands.
I sat back in the chair while Jessica cleaned my willy and checked for placement. I have a large "seam" that runs from the bottom of the glans into the foreskin, we decided to place the exit hole just to one side of the seam. She inserted the receiving tube into my urethra, and explained that this would be the most uncomfortable bit. It didn't seem at all uncomfortable to me, far less uncomfortable than getting pubic hairs caught between the foreskin and the glans.
Now breathe in..... breathe out...... Oops, was that it ??....
Blimey, there's a bloody great needle sticking out of my willy !!!! I can barely feel it, but I can certainly see it. Jessica then slipped in the ring and fitted the ball. I can't believe how little pain there was, and no blood either. She wrapped the piercing with a dressing, then encased it in the latex glove explaining that it may bleed later on, and that was it, all over. We discussed aftercare and cleanliness, then I left the shop, sat carefully on my motorbike and rode off down the road, the proud owner of a key fob in my underpants.
That evening there was a little blood, but not much, and urinating was an interesting experience. my aim was all over the place, it tingled as the urine passed through. Overnight it was uncomfortable. I normally roll from side to side during the night, and each time I rolled, I woke up and had to adjust my position as I leant on my fresh piercing.
The next morning was the worst, as the usual dawn horn announced itself, along with a quick bout of bleeding. But after getting up, going to the toilet and cleaning everything, it was comfortable again. I spent the next two days fastidiously keeping it clean, and the only time it was uncomfortable was when I had an unexpected erection. Since my wife was many thousands of miles away, this didn't occur too often.
Within three days I was bounding around a raquetball court with no problems at all, and within a week I was able to pull it and generally fiddle with it. I still found that it pulled a bit whenever I had an erection and was filled with delusions of grandeur about my glans being too big for the standard 3/4" ring. After a month I felt that it could go to the next guage, as 12ga really was too small, and as we compared the 10ga 3/4" ring to the 12ga 3/4" ring we could see that the 12ga was a bit less than 3/4", rats, and I hoped I had a big todger. Oh well.
I decided to have the 10 ga popped in, so off with my trousers, I'm getting used to this now, in with the insertion taper, and "yeow" I noticed that, it was more uncomfortable than the actual piercing. A quick struggle and the ring's now in place, and although I can feel that it's a bit tight in the hole, it feels better than the 12ga. Within 2 hours, it felt fine again.
Over the next few months I found that although my foreskin was loose enough to cover the ring, during the working day it would push the ring into unusual positions, and was often quite uncomfortable. Since you can't adjust yourself whilst walking down the corridoor, I would often go to the gents to re-position things. I could see that the foreskin was pushing the ring quite a lot, and decided to order a curved barbell. The barbell arrived a few days later, I slipped it in, and bliss !!!! I can barely feel it during the day, and the little ball at the bottom hole fits snugly into the corner between the bottom of my glans and the foreskin. All you can see is this metal probe with a ball attached sticking out of the end of my urethra. My aim when urinating has also returned, phew what a relief !!!!
Three months had passed and my wife came to visit me in Colorado. "You're not coming anywhere near me with *that*". Oh !, after a rather disappointing discussion and 4 months of celibacy, my human urges take over, and I agree to remove the barbell, then put it back in the next morning. The piercing shrank quite a lot overnight, and it was a bit of squeeze to refit the ring the next morning, but since the mere fact that I had had a PA reduced my rations drastically, I was able to leave it in for the next few days.
After two weeks my wife went home again, I've come to the conclusion that I rather like my PA, and that it's time to move to an 8ga. Turns out that it's quite hard to find someone with a good quality 8ga 3/4" ring in stock, but eventually I find one, and go to have it fitted. I was a bit apprehensive about the tapering again, as the last occaision it was pretty uncomfortable. I took down my trousers , hey we're getting good at this now, lay down, in went the taper, I barely noticed it !! It seems that the hole had already stretched to 8 ga, and that's without any use at all !!!!!! Just me fiddling with it, because nobody else is going to. The ring slipped in, it was bit a difficult to close this one with the pliers, and that was it.
I really notice this ring, it seems that reaching 8ga, there's suddenly a lot more weight to deal with, and it feels rather nice. Unfortunately, it too, gets pushed about by the foreskin, so I'll get hold of a curved barbell soon. But overall I'm very pleased with it.
I'd like to get some more piercings and possibly another tattoo, but my wife is so disgusted by the idea that I'm not sure if this will come to pass or not. I hear lot's of stories about some piercings enhancing peoples sex lives, but since mine is currently non-existant, due to my wife being so far away, and her intense dislike of any body mods, I'm unlikely to experience this.
My view is that it's better to satisfy your curiosity than to spend your whole life wondering. So if you're wondering about getting a PA, then go for it, it doesn't really hurt, it's good fun, and if you don't like it, you can always take it out later.
