Actually the piercing didnt hurt as much as you might think. There are several diffrent genital piercing placements for both men and women. Some are more extreame and painful than others. The placement I elected to get was called, oddly enough, the frenum. :O) Its kind of hard to describe but Ill try. It is pierced between the head and that little ring o round the dick. You know, where the skin changes from pink to slightly darker. Also it is located at what I guess you would call the bottom. ONLY THROUGH THE SKIN. I may be a bit crazy but im not totally out of my mind enough to go all the way through my shaft. Anyways because of the placement, the pain wasnt really that bad. It was just enough to make me inhale sharply, then nothing. On the ride home from the piercer I actually had to keep checking that it was there because I couldnt even feel it. The pain that I went through having my tounge ring heal was a hundred times worse than anything I experienced with my southernly piercing. And as far as how do my partners like it......Well I get mixed reactions depending on the girl. Some are indiffrent, others excited. Usually everyone who has heard me talk about it or has seen it has thought it was cool. Depening on what position im having sex in, the barbell tends to rub kinda directly on the beloved g spot. I have had many a compliment for that little bonus. Its not something I needed to get to improve my sexual preformance, just something to augment it. Anyone else have any questions about it? I love answering. :O)
