Male Piercing Info

Male piercing has been around for thousands of years. Ancient civilizations like the Mayans and the Aztecs would often pierce their tongues as a blood offering to the gods, and it wasn’t unusual to find many sailors who had ear piercings to not only improve their eyesight but also to help pay for their eventual funerals. (Morbid thought.)

Luckily male piercing today doesn’t have the morbid connotation it once did. It is now seen as a fashionable accessory and a way to make a personal statement—rather than as a talisman to keep away evil spirits as the men of Borneo believed. Still it is a bit of a mystery for a lot of guys and here we hope to answer some of the more common male piercing questions you might have.

Male Piercing Question #1: Do piercings hurt?

Well that depends on your definition of hurt and what part of the body you’re intending to pierce. Ear piercings are the least painful of all the piercing procedures, while genital piercings are by far the most painful. Whenever cartilage is pierced it is always more painful and takes longer to heal. But if done by an experienced professional, who specializes in the type of piercing you’re seeking, the pain of piercings can be minimized and very tolerable in nature.

Male Piercing Question #2: Do genital piercings increase sexual arousal?

Is the Pope Catholic? Citations in the Kama Sutra prove that men have been getting male genital piercing to enhance the sexual experience for at least 2000 years and probably longer. Traditions that old don’t generally survive unless they work.

What makes genital male piercings so unique is that they stimulate both the male and the female during intercourse. The Prince Albert piercing, which goes through the urethra from outside the cockhead, is the most popular because it heals rather quickly and is great for heightening orgasms. But there are many different kinds of genital piercings—all intended to stimulate a different area of the penis. It goes without saying that when it comes to this area of the body that you want somebody who knows exactly what they’re doing, because the risk of nerve damage with them is quite great.

Male Piercing Question #3: Is it true that getting certain ears pierced denotes your sexuality?

File this one away in the urban legend department. Piercing your right ear is not code for being gay. Men throughout history have pierced both ears without any thought to sexual orientation. Ironically this myth continues---as proven by the high numbers of men who get their left ear pierced. But there is no significant difference in the right or left ear when it comes to male ear piercings.
