Questions about PA piercing

[Atone]

As some of you may remember I had a discussion with my wife a while back about getting a PA. She wasn't too thrilled with the idea at the time. Well, the subject came up again and she might be coming around to the idea, at least a little bit. She asked questions about what way it would go, how it would feel, what does it look like. I would like to get some more information both for my benefit and for hers. So I am looking for some help.

1) Is there a good site / forum (such as this one) where I can ask questions and get good information?

2) I am looking for pictures to show her. If you do a google image search on "Prince Albert Piercing" the results are really rather scary. And that was to me. She would probably never talk about it again. I am looking for a few pictures of a fairly small diameter ring in a reasonable gauge (not sure what that is).

3) She is not sure she wants it inside her. That actually might not be a show stopper for me, I have only been inside her once in the last eight months anyway. One reason she is concerned is that she is very tight. It is not unusual for her to be too tight to have comfortable penetrative intercourse. She thinks the PA would make this worse. Any experiences with this?

4) How does it feel for her when we are having sex? I have read that it can stimulate the g-spot. I would love to hear any experiences you have with this.

5) Once the piercing is fully healed is it possible to take out the ring to have intercourse and then put it back in afterward? This would probably be for relatively short times (under an hour) and not very often. Even before chastity we had "alternative" sex more often than regular intercourse because it was better for both of us. She does still like regular intercourse though and doesn't want to give that up.

6) If I / we decide that the PA isn't for us will it close back up after being removed for an extended time or will there always be a hole on the bottom of my dick?

7) This may relate to #1 but how does one go about finding a reputable, experienced piercer?

Anything else I might need to know would be great too.

I know this a lot to ask but I do appreciate the time you put in to responding.

thanks,

I don't have much time at the moment, but I can give you some quick answers to a few of these...

2. Is mine too big? I've posted pictures before. There are some pictures and a bunch of good info here: http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Princ ... t_Piercing

4. Belle feels it and can tell it's there, but doesn't think it adds much to her pleasure. It's on the wrong side to help with the G-spot.

5. Yes, you can take it out.

6. The woman who did mine told me, after she had the dick in her hand and was about to punch through, that no, a PA will not always close. It can often stay open, though the hole will get smaller with nothing in it.

1) Is there a good site / forum (such as this one) where I can ask questions and get good information?

As Thumper pointed out, BMEis the best site. If you buy a membership, you can get access to an enormous gallery.

2) I am looking for pictures to show her. If you do a google image search on "Prince Albert Piercing" the results are really rather scary. And that was to me. She would probably never talk about it again. I am looking for a few pictures of a fairly small diameter ring in a reasonable gauge (not sure what that is).

There are a few on the FAQ page. The problem you've run into is that a lot of people like to share their extreme large-gauge piercing pictures. That can be intimidating.

3) She is not sure she wants it inside her. That actually might not be a show stopper for me, I have only been inside her once in the last eight months anyway. One reason she is concerned is that she is very tight. It is not unusual for her to be too tight to have comfortable penetrative intercourse. She thinks the PA would make this worse. Any experiences with this?

My wife was concerned too. I think in the end, I found it more uncomfortable than she did. If the piercing is not healed perfectly, it can get twingy during intercourse. She originally was concerned, but afterward, she didn't really mind it. She was more concerned that the bead would fall off inside her! heh

4) How does it feel for her when we are having sex? I have read that it can stimulate the g-spot. I would love to hear any experiences you have with this.

My wife didn't notice it much, honestly.

5) Once the piercing is fully healed is it possible to take out the ring to have intercourse and then put it back in afterward? This would probably be for relatively short times (under an hour) and not very often. Even before chastity we had "alternative" sex more often than regular intercourse because it was better for both of us. She does still like regular intercourse though and doesn't want to give that up.

It should be OK for short times, but honestly I wouldn't plan on leaving it out for more than an hour at a time. It's amazing how quickly it closes up and becomes painful to stretch back out.

6) If I / we decide that the PA isn't for us will it close back up after being removed for an extended time or will there always be a hole on the bottom of my dick?

I've had a few piercings begin to reject. When I took the jewelry out, they closed immediately. I wouldn't worry about it. If you don't go with a really large gauge, I can't imagine it would cause a problem.

7) This may relate to #1 but how does one go about finding a reputable, experienced piercer?

I'd begin by calling the piercing/tattoo shops in the area to find out who does them. From there, I'd go around and get a look at the shops. Get an idea of how much experience they have doing the PAs. They might even have a portfolio they can show you. Obviously, look for a place that looks sterile, and has good safety procedures. You might also poke around on the web to see if the shop has any positive/negative comments.

Good luck!

Or you could come visit me in Minneapolis and I could take you to the girl that did mine. She was awesome.

I understand that the PA is generally on the wrong side for g-spot stimulation but not if you are using rear entry or her on top facing away. It sounds like it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

I will check out BME, I don't mind paying if the value is good.

That is about what I expected as far as taking it out. Probably not something I would want to do unless I was taking it out permanently.

Thumper, I might have to come visit you. I am sure there are good places relatively nearby but I'm not sure how I would get a personal recommendation. The only people I know that have piercings are friends of my kids. I won't be asking them for advice.

Thanks for the help.

A lot of people write about having a "relationship" with their piercer but honestly, I just walked in, said I want to get my nipples done and that was that. You are obviously old enough but you want to make sure that they have you sign a release which has information about age and so on. Also, make sure they are using sterilized equipment. The needles and everything should all be in little packets that they open in front of you. Generally, you want to watch them do the setup.

From what I have read, PAs are pretty common but you should ask, have you done this before? How many times?

The shop should not be sleazy or dirty or skanky. If it gives you a bad vibe, turn around and walk out. I've been to three different piercing places and a tattoo shop (that also did piercings). All of them were fine and I would go back to any of them. Sort of an unofficial criterion (for me) was that they all took credit cards which says something about how serious they are about being in business. The cash-only places, the solo operator places are the ones I stay away from.

I think finding a tattoo artist is a much bigger deal than finding a piercer. With a tattoo, you need to know you like the person's art style and aesthetic. Even if you give them a design, they are going to interpret it on your body. Artists are the ones you need a recommendation for. Piercers, they are just sticking a needle in you for about 3 seconds. You just want to make sure you have somebody who is using sterile procedure and has done it before (hopefully many times).

I do agree that tattooists should be well-vetted for the reasons you state, but in doing my research, a piercer's doing a lot more than just sticking a needle in you. *Especially* when we're talking about a genital piercing. Back when BME was still free, there were ample horror stories I will not relate.

The overall advice is good: make sure it's clean, make sure they're experienced. In MN, piercers need to be licensed. That's a great place to start if similar regulations exist where you live. Also, if the piercing room doesn't look like a doctor's office (complete with surgical gloves and antiseptic swabs), I wouldn't use it.

I've read the horror stories too and I think we are in agreement!

Like you said, you want clean and sterile, brightly lit and people who don't give you the creeps (although if it's a male piercer, he'll probably be covered in tattoos. At least that's my experience. LOL). I think piercing (and tattooing) have become mainstream enough that it's easy to find a reputable place. The back alley skeezy places are being shut down or are hidden away for the underage kids.

People should think twice about getting a body part pierced in a tattoo shop... The reason is that tattooing releases micro fine mega tiny spray droplets of blood into the air... A piercing could get cross contaminated by such airborne droplets. The risk is incredibly small and having a tattoo it's a risk I felt worth taking but here in the UK the general advice from many is not to mix the two practices. I lived.

[Dev]

That sounds fine in theory although in my (albeit limited) experience, I've never seen a purely piercing place. I've seen tattoo shops that don't do piercings, but I've never seen a piercing only place--there are always tattoo artists as part of the business.

I am not sure it would be economically viable to have a piercing-only shop. Tattoos are where the money is. Piercings are cheap.
