Gential piercings, whether male or female, are erotic and sensual. There are actually a number of reasons to get a genital piercing, although the more common reason is for pure sexual stimulation or to just get shiny jewelry in a feminine area. Whatever your reason for getting a genital piercing, you'll want to be prepared for the amount of care and commitment that is involved- IE sexual limitations and healing the piercing properly to prevent infection.
Common female piercings include:
* Christina- Not a very popular piercing due to the high rejection rate, but hte Christina is a vertical piercing through the V-shaped junction at the top of the outer labia and exits right about pubic area. It generally takes Christina piercings 12 to 16 weeks, if not longer, to heal.
* Clitoris Piercing- Often confused with hood piercings, but the piercing actually goes through the clit.
* Fourchette- This piercing only works with certain body shapes, as the piercing is through an extra tissue flap at the perineum from the bottom of the vaginal opening, that many women do not have. Fourchette piercings take about 12 to 14 weeks to heal.
* Horizontal Clitoral Hood Piercing- With proper placement, when standing up, the bead of the CBR will lay on the clit. The base of the CBR is pierced through the hood tissue about the clit. With slightly larger gauge jewelry, the weight will actually cause more stimulation than the typical 14 and 12 gauges that are commonly used. Horizontal hood piercings heal in an average 4 to 6 weeks.
* Inner Labia- The skin tissue in the inner labia is pierced as to create an aesthetic view as well as some stimulation. It typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks to heal.
* Outer Labia- The outter labia piercing has an interesting history; men would have their wive's outter labia pierced with multiple rings and lock them together to prevent the wife from sleeping with other men. The outter labia piercing tends to be more painful than the inner labia, and it tends to reject more often than the inner labia. Not all women can have this piercing. Outer labia piercings tend to heal in an averaged 8 to 12 weeks.
* Triangle- Not all women are anatomically suited for triangle piercings, as they are situated so that the jewelry is just behind the clitoris, so that when the front is being stimulated, so is the back. Only get this piercing with a skilled and experienced piercer, as you don't want him to slip... It typically takes about 8 to 12 weeks to heal a triangle piercing.
A few other piercings you may have heard of include the Isabella, Nefertiti and the Princess Albertina, which are more experimental and less common.
When healing a genital piercing, you want to take into account the following Do's and Don'ts so that you prevent infection and irritation, as the last thing you want to do is get an infection in your sensitive area.
DO'S
* Wash your hands before touching your new piercing.
* Cean the piercing in the shower by allowing clean water to run over the piercing. This will help soften and loosen up the crusted discharge from around the jewelry.
* For at least the first few weeks, take showers instead of baths. You don't want to saturate the piercing in bacteria laden water.
* Use saline twice a day for the first few weeks. Soak a cotton ball in the saline and gently clean the piercing with the cotton ball.
* Clean the piercing after sex and after masterbation with saline.
* After the first few weeks, clean the piercing just once a day until fully healed.
DON'TS
* Don't use a washcloth or towel to clean or dry off your piercing, as they both harbor bacteria.
* Do not use ointment, cream, or an astringent on a healing piercing.
* Don't use hydrogen peroxide on a healilng piercing.
* Don't use Witch Hazel on a healing piercing.
* Don't use scented soaps on a healing piercing; if you feel you must use soap, use Provon or Satin only.
* Restrict sexual activity for at least 2 weeks and do not let the piercing come into contact with bodily fluids (saliva or semen) for the first 2 weeks. Make sure to use a condom or dental gaurd during sexual contact to prevent infection.
* Do not wear tight clothing.
* Do not excessively clean or touch the piercing, as you can increase infection risks.
