Q&A
Tom B. wrote in with an interesting question:
I’m thinking of getting a genital piercing. How do girls feel about that? And are there any known health risks I should consider?
Well, Tom, that is a very good question. First let’s start with the facts: there are several health risks you should consider when it comes to male piercings.
The most common male genital piercing is the “Prince Albert”, where a ring is inserted right outside the frenulum and through the urethra. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that this is a painful experience, but thankfully, there is a lower chance of infection for genital piercings than most other piercings. There are some major drawbacks, however; urinals may be a thing of the past. Since the urethra is punctured, most men learn to urinate sitting down after the piercing. And even if the piercing is removed, it may not regenerate, so consider it a permanent decision.
So, all of the bad and scary stuff aside, there are still many women out there who swear by sex with a man who has had a Prince Albert. It makes sense, logically, that a foreign object attached to the head of a man’s penis would rub a woman the right way. I have to say that you have hit upon one of a very few things that are foreign to yours truly, although I’m not against it. I will try anything once.
My dear Tom, I suppose the best advice I can lend on the topic would be to do whatever your heart desires. This is a decision that only you can make, because it is something that will stay with you forever.
And I’m eagerly anticipating pictures.

There are some mid-points to this journey, including a barbell through the foreskin (or in the case of a cicumscised man, the skin beneath the cock head). There are also some silicone rings that can be worn behind the head, though you must be careful they’re sufficiently tight not to come off during sex. The best thing is to avoid any lube before you put one on.

Really? I had always heard that piercings were PRO-lube.. it was encouraged to prevent unnecessary friction at the piercing site. I may have to do some more searching on this, then..

I’m not talking about a piercing, but things worn on top of the skin. A piercing would seem to require lube, but I’m no expert.
