Body modification is as old as human history (Ötzi the Iceman, the most ancient mummy ever discovered, had a pierced ear), but genital piercings are a relatively new phenomenon.

Even the origin of the Prince Albert is a myth. This penis piercing was rumored to be popularized by Queen Victoria’s husband, who had such a large penis that he pierced it with a ring so that he could adjust it more securely in his tight trousers. However, modern historians now believe that this story is a fabrication.

So what if genital piercing doesn’t have a long, illustrious history? The sexual pleasure such piercings deliver more than makes up for it.

Genital piercings are considered more advanced than ear or nose piercings, and many individuals get them to improve their love lives.

Unlike visible piercings, no one will know that you have a genital piercing except for your lover. Having such a “naughty secret” can give a person a boost of sexual confidence. Also, if your profession doesn’t allow you to show a visible piercing, a genital piercing is the perfect solution.

Not all piercers perform the procedure, but that’s not because genital piercings are any more complicated or difficult.

If anything, genital piercings are easier because they heal faster, tend to be protected from infection as long as safe sex is practiced, and rarely have negative side-effects when performed by a qualified piercer.

Choosing Your Piercing - Women

Choosing a genital piercing is perhaps the most difficult part of the process. Women can enjoy a range of genital piercings, including the Christina, clitoris (horizontal or vertical), clitoral hood (horizontal or vertical), triangle, Fourchette, Isabella, labia (minor or major), Nefertiti, and Princess Albertina.

Although all genital piercings can improve a sexual experience by making the wearer feel sexier and adding visual excitement, not all genital piercings are equal when it comes to delivering sexual stimulation.

The vertical clitoral hood (VCH) piercing and triangle piercing are considered two of the best for sexual stimulation. The VCH is extremely common and fairly straightforward, while the triangle involves slightly more pain and cannot be performed on everyone, as the back of the clitoral hood must extend slightly from the body.

Choosing Your Piercing - Men

For men, the range of genital piercings is equally as vast. Although the most common is the Prince Albert, in which a ring passes through the tip of the penis (from the frenulum into the urethra), there are a number of others, including the ampallang, apadravya, hafada, foreskin, deep shaft, dolphin, dydoe, frenum, lorum, magic cross, reverse Prince Albert, and transscrotal.

The frenum piercing is the second most common male genital piercing. It’s done on the underside of the penis away from the shaft.

A man’s lover will enjoy the experience just as much as him, as the piercing will rub against the vagina, creating additional friction.

Do Your Research Before You Pierce

If you’re ready to get your own piercing, don’t do anything before checking out SafePiercing.org, hosted by the Association of Professional Piercers. This website includes a must-read FAQ about genital piercing and valuable advice on how to choose a competent piercer.

Considering that you’re allowing someone to pierce one of the most private, sensitive, and nerve-packed areas of the body, it pays to choose the right person.

And ALWAYS care for your piercing as directed by the piercer until it heals completely (usually several months). You will need to practice safe sex during this time and may also need to avoid rough activities like horseback riding or bike riding.

Once your piercing has healed, enjoy! Some women experience their first orgasms after getting a VCH, and they'd agree that's worth enduring a few short minutes of pain for.
