Here's some more shit to read about mutilating, er, I mean "enhancing" your pecker...
SCROTUM / HAFADA
4 to 6 months
While piercings can be made anywhere on the scrotum, piercings made
through
an outward facing fold of loose skin are more successful. The piercing
must
not puncture the testicle sac itself which can lead to very serious
infection.
Scrotum piercings can be difficult to heal. The scrotum expands and
contracts which exerts stress on the entrances of the piercing. Scrotum
piercings are easily irritated by perspiration, lack of air
circulation, and
friction against the wearer's clothing, thighs and penis. Occasionally a
ring or protrusion of soft, inflamed tissue will form around the
entrances
of the piercing. Keep the piercing as dry as possible and wear
non-restrictive clothing that allows air circulation. Usually the
inflamed
tissue recedes as the piercing heals.
Initial jewelry: Captive bead rings in 14 to 10 gauge and 9/16" to
11/16" in
diameter; the diameter of the ring should be at least 1/4" wider than
the
width of the piercing. No more than 1/4 of the ring should be through
the
piercing. A ring which is too small in diameter will constrict the
piercing
and cause the piercing to migrate and scar. Scrotum piercings can swell
considerably during the first 4 to 6 weeks, and the ring must be wide
enough
to accommodate swelling.
2E.3 GENITAL PIERCINGS AND SEXUAL ACTIVITY
Genital piercings are intended to enhance sensation for the wearer and,
in
the case of male piercings, his partner during intercourse. However,
wearing
genital jewelry does require caution during certain activities,
particularly
if the piercing has not yet completely healed. In some cases, the
desired
activity can be impeded by the jewelry.
New piercings do not prohibit sexual activity. However, exposure to the
partner's bodily fluids must be prevented to reduce the risk of
infection,
even in a monogamous relationship. Numerous microorganisms, including
bacterias and yeasts, are present in genital and oral cavities. Saliva
should not be used as a lubricant for masturbation or intercourse while
the piercing is healing. Both partners should wash their hands before
touching the jewelry or the piercing. Latex barriers (condoms, dental
dams) should be used during all genital-genital or oral-genital contact.
After piercings have completely healed, they are no longer susceptible
to
infection and are no more susceptible to transmitting and contracting
disease-causing organisms than the surrounding skin (mucous membranes
are
naturally more susceptible). However, piercings can be injured by
strenuous activity or recent stretching; minute and non-visible tears
within the piercing which yields the piercing susceptible to infection
and
and disease transmission.
In the case of Prince Albert, Ampallang and Apadravya piercings,
erection or
orgasm may cause the piercing to bleed during the first week. Strenuous
sexual activity during the healing period may prolong healing and cause
uncomfortable scarring.
Penis piercings with average-sized jewelry rarely interfere with the
safe
use of condoms. Condoms with larger receptical ends will fit comfortably
over penis jewelry. Lubricating the inside of the condom as well as the
jewelry itself will reduce friction. Diaphrams and cervical caps can be
dislodged by curved barbells or circular barbells worn in the Prince
Albert
piercing.
Penis jewelry rarely impedes comfortable male-female intercourse.
Comfort
and stimulation are greatly influenced by the position of intercourse
and
the relative dimensions of the penis and vagina. Discomfort to either
partner can often be alleviated by changing the dimensions or style of
the
jewelry. Some women find piercings with barbells, such as frenum,
Apadravya
and Ampallang piercings, uncomfortable. Shortening the barbell or
wearing
smaller barbell balls may reduce discomfort. A frenum barbell may be
substituted by a ring. A large diameter ring which snugly encircles the
penis behind the corona (ridge of the glans) can be worn if the
placement of
the piercing allows.
Discomfort caused by friction against the jewelry or friction within the
piercing can be alleviated by applying a water based lubricant to the
jewelry.
Exerting pressure or pulling on jewelry that is too thin will be
uncomfortable and may injure or tear the piercing. The thicker the
jewelry,
the more surface area over which pressure is distributed. The depth of
the
piercing should also be considered; a shallow piercing is more likely to
tear or be injured.
Most men have found that penis piercings 12ga or thinner tend to be
uncomfortable or pinch during sexual activity. Once the piercing has
been
stretched to a thicker gauge the pinching sensation disappears.
There is no evidence that piercings of the penis cause urinary tract
infections in either partner.
On rare ocassions penis jewelry has been known to chip teeth or become
lodged in the partner's throat during oral sex. (Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! Funny!)
