would you like to see my penis?
ok .. as some of you have heard and a few of you have seen .. I got a reverse prince albert piercing this weekend while at philly.
this is my thread about it.
for starters (for those you have ever inadvertantly clicked a link posted by PMG in chat) the reverse prince albert is where the piercing enters through the top of the head of the penis (the glands) and exits through the uerethra.
ok .. let's start with the obvious: why, for the love of god, why!?
I've actually been going over this bit in my head for a while now. for a long time (probably around 8 years or so) I've been really facinated by this piercing and thought I might want to get it done.
there are several reasons 'why' that I can not explain, and these are primarily revolve around the basis of al body modification .. be it a tattoo, earing, or deep genital piercing. ever since I was about 12, when I got my first earing, I've been facinated with piercing and general body modification stuff .. even though I didn't really get into doing much to myself until I was older (and even then I was hardly 'hardcore') I've always had a facination with the art, and means of self expression that body modification has. when I was in my late teens I had many piercings; my ears, nose, lip, navel (well .. this was more of an attempt, but that's another story) but as I got older (and in need of constant employment) the jewlery started to come out a little at a time. I did not however lose my facination with the idea of it .. I just became more of a voyer of sorts.
when I first heard of the reverse prince albert piercing I was horrified by the idea to be honest. the idea of a huge metal ring being inserted through the head of my penis seemed like a bit more than anything I wanted to 'express'. then as time went on I met a few people who had it done and the facination switch was flicked back on and I started thinking about it for real. could I do this? it didn't seem likely.
at some point along the way I made the decision that I did in fact want to get this done .. but I didn't feel the overpowering urge to run out and do it. it was more of a 'someday I would like to do that' sort of thing. I would bounce the idea of girlfriends and such to guage reactions and show pictures to friends to hear what they thought .. all of which led up to the fairly recent upgrade from 'I would like to get this done' to 'I'm going to get this done .. a finite distinction perhaps, but enough so that I finally found myself sitting in a chair instead of thinking about it.
I've heard and read lots of different people's reasons for getting thier genitals pierced. some people do it because it's supposed to heighten sexual pleasure or other sex related reasons. some do it because it's the 'next step' .. they have already done everything and that's what's left. some people do it for shock value. I can sum up in one word why I wanted this piercing ..strenght. the reverse prince albert is a very powerful piercing in both the way it looks and what it represents, and that I think was the real draw.
it would be hard to explain 'why' any better then that really .. suffice to say that if you have any interest in body modification then you probably understand what I mean and if you don't .. well, there isn't any way I can enlighten you.
so here's how it went down:
I had been thinking that I needed to set a date for myself to get it done. I had gone to a shop or two on the spur of the moment and chickened out before ever even asking about it .. so I knew this wasn't going to work like a 'dive in the pool' sort of thing. I was going to need some time to mentally prepare myself a bit, and setting a date would also force a little comitment. I had the idea a few weeks ago that I might try to do this in philly when we where all together. it seemed like the perfect type of setting and it gave me a clear date. so I picked up PMG in chat one night and ran the idea by her, basicaly asking if she would be moral support and hold my hand and stuff. she said it was a great idea and actually looked up a cool shop located in philly. I went to the web site ( http://www.infinitebody.com ) and knew within minutes that this was going to be the place to go. a professional establishment dedicated to piercing .. not a tatoo parlor with a piercer that came in on tuesdays, which had been another small aprehention of mine .. call me crazy, but I wanted my penis to be 'in the best of hands' as it where. (as it turned out this was probably a wise decision .. but that part'll come in a bit)
So it was all set. I had a date, a place, and a friend. I told a few people in my excitement, but I mostly kept it under wraps in case I changed my mind at the last second again .. I didn't really want to set the hype and not deliver sorta speak .. but it had been my intention for a couple weeks to get this done in philly. it wasn't really a spur of the moment thing.
on saturday morning I was getting very excited about the whole prospect and was fairly confident that I would go through with it so I made an anouncement of sorts that anyone who wanted to come along and watch was more then welcome, and after breakfast (well .. lunch) pmg, rabble, mord, and I headed off to the shop to get pierced.
when we got to the shop I walked in and started getting a little nervous .. well .. very nervous actually. I walked around for a minute or two and looked at some jewlery. a couple people sort of stepped in front of me and talked about getting some navels or lips or something done and I feinged displeasure at my group while thinking 'thank god, of crap, thank god' silently in my head. then a guy behind the counter finally looked at me and asked if I needed any help. this was it. the proverbial line in the sand that I had not been able to cross yet. I looked up at him and tried to say in a calm and casual voice that I would like to have a reverse prince albert done as well as my right earlobe and that I would need jewlery for both and an extra ring for my left ear which I already had pierced. he told me ok and asked me to hold on for a second. he left me at the counter and I tried to catch my breath for a minute when another man (the piercer) came out and asked me what it was I wanted again. I tried again to tell him what I wanted without showing how nervous I was .. like this was justa normal everyday thing for me. "I would like to have a reverse prince albert and my right ear pierced and I'll need jewlery for both and an extra rinf for my ear as well" .. he looked at me for a second or two and then asked why it was I wanted this done. the whole bit I wrote before came to mind in a flash and was gone just as quick and all that was left was "I've wanted this done for a long time" .. he sized me up for another minute and then, oddly enough, went to go get the paperwork to fill out and to set up the room. no turning back now.
he took me into a tiny room with what resembled the sort of dentist's chair you might find in beverly hills. he had me sit in the chair and he talked to me for a few minutes about aftercare (good things to eat and cleaniing and stuff) and what to expect for both piercings. he asked me if I had any questions (I didn't) then set up to pierce my ear.
I've had my ears pierced on several occasions and knew pertty much what to expect. he had me get comfotable in the chair (not a hard thing to do) and take a deep breath and let it out slowly. mid breath there was a sharp prick and it was over. not a big deal .. and to be honest, most of my tension was on what was coming next.
a small note about me: I am a bleeder. when cut or pricked I tend to spill a fair amount of blood in a hurry. I also knew not to have my usuall 5 cups of coffee that moring and had refrained from drinking at all the night before in hopes that I wouldn't bleed to death after I was done. I warned him before hand and told him that I didn't really have a problem with clotting, and that when I get nervouse I tend to bleed a little more. after he pierced my ear he poked his head out the door again and asked for a small rubber band, which he later told me was going to be to hold the gause on (I knew that was comig after my ear dribbled for a while)
then it was time. I was feeling alot less nervouse at this point and starting to relax to the idea of what was coming up as he talked to me a bit more about specific aftercare for the r.p.a.
then he asked me to stand up and drop my pants, which I did. I was feeling a little self consious about being in a room with no pants on with pmg and a complete stranger, but I got over it before he had me sit back down .. I'm a fairly modest person, but this was not really an imodest act (we're all professional here, right?)
pmg and I shared a little 'so how are you doing? nervous?' small talk for a minute while he redied his equipment. I realised at that moment just how glad I was she had come along .. it gave me a moment to just be excited and she what was going on. a little social venting or something. having her there made all the difference between being a complete nervous wreck and being able to just relax and smile for a bit.
when jon was ready he swung me around and started to prep me up for the piercing. he disinfected and marked and proded for a minute or two before looking up and saying that the piercing was going to be done a little diferently then usual. this all has to do with a small surgury I had when I was a kid which resulted in the position of my urethra being a little lower then the norm. instead of using a cathader type tube he would actually just use a clamp to guide the needle. after a few minutes of reanranginf his whole game plan we finally settled down for the piercing. he had me relax and take a seires of long deep breaths. I tried to calm myself as much as possible, and not 'get ready' for the needle .. not only did I not want to flinch, but I wanted to be aware of the actuall piercing and not just my own anxiety. this may sound strange to some people and probably not make any sense, but I wanted to be aware of everything. I'm not a masochist and I don't 'enjoy' pain, but at the same time I didn't want to just shake this one off. it's definitly part of the experience, thus part of the piercing.
so I'm breathing deeply and getting focused and jon says real quiet (he may have been yelling it, but I barely heard) 'ok' and he pushed the needle in.
now everyone always akes "did it hurt" to say no would be a lie. it hurt alot. however, it was not a terrible pain. it was a very intence, and sharp, but it was over very quickly. and once it was done there was just more of an uncomfortable sensation.
I opened my eyes and took a few deep breaths and sort of tried to 'feel' the piercing at that point. hardly a thing. I was almost amazed. I had expected a lot worse. all that was left was to put the jewlery in. he sized the ring next to me penis for a second and tried to get an idea of hw it would fit and decided to go for a larger ring. better to go a little big and not have to worry about swelling and erections then have it be to small I guess. so he poked his head out the door and asked for a 7/8 while pmg snapped a few shots of the 'mid piercing' for me. then he inserted the ring, which was a little uncomfortable but hardly even worth mentioning in the big picture of things.
then it was all done. there was a very minimal amount of bleeding (I would almost wager I bled more from my ear) and the rubber band was cast aside for lack of need. he gave me a few packages of gause and went over some last bits of info again with me on how to take care of it for the next few days and told me to call or come back in if I had any problems or questions.
mord actually opted to get another piercing too .. but I'll let him tell you all about it.
so we left the shop and walked back to the hotel. it felt a bit strange, but there really wasn't any pain at that point. just more of an acute awareness of the ring brushing against the inside of my boxers. once we got back to the hotel I wrapped the whole works in gause and put on a pair of boxer briefs I had brought along for the ocassion to sort of hold everything still.
not long after we got back to the hotel I had to pee. I sat down out of anticipation and was glad that I had. what happened next was the only moment of 'oh my god, what have I done' since I got it done. as I peed I noticed that it was coming out the top of the piercing as well as my urethra. not shooting out by any means, but sort of dribbleing out and down the ring. when I was done I wiped off the ring and my penis with a shakey hand and contimplated the possibility that this might be the way I have to pee from now on. not a real high point, but I wasn't going to let that spoil my excitement. I learned from some of the things that I read that almost anyone who experienced this event said that it stopped and everything functioned 'normal' once the piercing haled up a bit. as a matter of fact I just now went piss while standing and almost no urine came up through the piercing. I was prepared to sit if I had to, but I'm a little relieved it wont be required.
I've been asked about morning wood and does everything work ok. the thing is I haven't really had the r.p.a. long enough to give an answer yet. saturday night I woke up for a second and noticed a sort of discomfort down there from an erection, but it wasn't bad enough to really even make me want to get up. I had wrapped it pretty well with gause before I went to sleep and I have a hunch that the restriction of the gause may have caused most of the distcomfort, and I'm sure that when it heals there will be no issues at all.
I've had this done for about a day and a half now and I've not experienced any real pain other then a small discomfort at times which sort of feels like bruising (no doubt that's what it is) and there's been no substantal blood, just a little 'spotting' here and there.
the piercing couldn't be better, and I couldn't be more pleased , and so with no more delay .. here's some pictures I took with my cam when I got home this earlier today:
