WhitneyMale Genital Piercings
July 4th 2008 13:27
Women are not the only gender that gets their privates pierced, but like women, men get their genitals pierced for pleasure and appearance.
There are actually a number of male piercings that are pretty common; they include;
* Ampallang- The piercing is made horizontally head of the penis, either above, under, or through the urethra, depending on the individual. Ampallang piercings take about 6 to 10 months to heal fully.
* Apradravya- The piercing is made vertically through the head of the penis. Apradravya piercings take about 6 to 12 months to fully heal.
* Foreskin Piercing- The foreskin of an uncircumcised penis is pierced. Foreskin piercings take about 2 to 4 months to heal.
* Frenum Piercing- Second most popular male piercing, next to the Prince Albert, frenum piercings are pierced on the underside of the shaft, just behind the head of the penis. Two common frenum piercings include the lorum (lower frenum at the base of the shaft, near the scrotum) or the ladder (several frenum piercings ranging from the base of the shaft to the top). Frenum piercings take about 2 to 4 months to heal, and tend to be relatively painless, when compared to the other male genital piercings.
* Guiche Piercing- (Also known as Perineum) This piercing is one of the less common piercings due to complication and placement. The piercing is located under the scrotal sac near the anus. Guiche piercings take about 4 to 6 months to heal.
* Prince Albert- Probably the most popular male piercing, the Prince Albert is pierced using a recieving tube through the urethra and out the bottom of the head. You may also see the reverse P.A., where the piercing circles around the top of the head, instead of the bottom. Although, P.A. piercings typically heal pretty fast, the average healing time is about 2 to 4 months.
The basic Do's and Don'ts are the same for both male and female genital piercings... They are as follows.
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.
