Figure 6.2: Penis Piercings

The first Prince Albert I saw was huge—we’re talking loose-leaf binder material—and only one thought came to mind: How ever did he get on an airplane? Not to worry. I’ve been assured that the average ring will not set off most airport metal detectors. But be prepared to explain if they check you with one of the handheld models!

An ampallang and apadravya are other common penile head piercings. For an ampallang a rod is passed through your glans from side to side, missing the urethra. The apadravya spears your urethra while piercing the glans from top to bottom. (Beware of the sprinkles with this one too!) (See Figure 6.2.)

Penile piercing does not mean you have to abandon safe sexual practice. Condoms must be a little larger, and avoid ultra-sheer styles, which break easily as they slide over jewelry. Be extra sensitive to your partner’s needs, because metal is clearly not as soft and pliable as your penis. Your partner may have difficulty accommodating a large ring (fold it to the side of your shaft), and it can tear his delicate anal lining. And don’t forget about his mouth—no one likes chipped teeth!

If your partner did not already know you were pierced, he may be put off at the sight of your love tool impaled with a metal bar or ring. He might also worry about hurting you if he touches it. A little caring and time spent teaching him about pleasures you derive from your piercing go a long way in keeping him around for a good time. Who knows, your barbell might just tickle his fancy.

Infection is a major risk of piercing but usually can be treated with diligent hygiene. Rarely are antibiotics necessary. As with any medical problem, don’t delay seeing your doctor if you think something is wrong. This is no time for embarrassment—and I guarantee you’re not the first person your doctor’s seen with a piercing. (He may even have one himself!) I treated a patient who waited so long that a penile abscess developed from a poorly placed direct spearing of his shaft. His infection required surgical drainage and left him with a badly misshapen tool.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are also more common anytime you pierce your urethra, because the metal ring or bar harbors bacteria. The major symptom of a UTI is burning with urination (dysuria). Blood also may be present. If you develop a UTI, antibiotics are necessary. If you ignore the problem, you can become quite ill.

Bleeding, a rare complication of piercing, usually stops with gentle pressure. A nasty rash frequently signifies an allergic reaction to your jewelry. Most piercers recommend surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium bars and rings. Never choose silver, because it is too reactive. And any queen knows that platinum and gold are never a problem!

If someday you need surgery, take out your body jewelry—and not because of medical homophobia. During most operations doctors use electric current to stop bleeding. There is a chance that your metal jewelry will conduct current and burn your penis, nipple, or anything else that’s pierced.
