    OK got it done yesterday. And it did hurt. The pain only lasted about 3 seconds but id did hurt allot for them seconds enough for me to give a shout out (really doesn't happen that often). Maybe the fact i don't have any other piercing to compare with makes it relative. Also i didn't much like the part where they stick something up your japs eye. This was nearly as bad. I do find there is no pain at all afterwards. you barely feel it in place. However that said it wasn't all that bad. And yes i think it was worth the pain. I have a couple of tattoos and think the pain of them (even though it is milder) is worse because it goes on for much longer.

    I am bleeding quite a bit but not as much as the OP. The cleaning is a bit messy and i find sitting on the toilet to be helpful for this.I am using the salt water as recommended but i am also putting a tiny drop of TCP in just to be sure. I'm sure it wont do any harm.

    I certainly don't want to put people off this its just that i got the impression from reading the posts here it would be relatively pain free. IT IS NOT. It is more than a pinch but not by a huge amount. I cannot yet comment about the benefits during sex yet but i will comment when i find out. I think my Girlfriend is a bit put out by the suggested recovery time.

    As Will said, better to leave the TCP out. You don't even need to use the salt water! When you are going to the toilet, simply sit down to go, and hold a cup of lukewarm water (NOT HOT!!!!!) in the bowl and basically dip yourself in the cup. Apply pressure midway up so that you can control the flow and slow it down, and this whole procedure will help clean and prevent you from experiencing pain while going to the toilet in the first stages of healing.

    Ok Bleeding has stoped and there is no pain at all. No need for peeing in a cup as i dont have pain then either.

    I am very pleased with the outcome. Girlfriend is eagerly anticipating trying it out ;)

    I will hold off on the TCP now as the bleeding has stoped. The amount i used was tiny. Only put it in to ensure the salt water was sterile.

    Thanks for the replys


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Well you can use it whenever you feel up to it (No pun intended) then you can, so long as you take it VERY easy, and use protection (I know it's your girlfriend, but you may bleed, so you really do need to).

    Better to wait it out a little while at least!

    Hi there topcatcbr and everbody else..

    i was considering a PA last year..but it was the stretching and changing the bar in the following months, etc that freaked me out...how did people find that..

    Not quite sure what you mean there...
    Changing the ring/bcr is entirely optional, as is stretching it. You'll find that it actually self stretches to an extent, that if you want to increase the gauge of the piercing, when its ready the larger jewellery will slip in pretty effortlessly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,477 ✭✭✭topcatcbr


    I have included the previous posts to give an easier reading for any would be PA candidates. I want to give a good chronological guide to show how it was for me so others can make an informed choice. I have read lots of advise from piercers on the Internet but have not read a complete guide from anyone who has documented the experience as it happened. Only accounts from those who had it done some time ago.

    1 Week later

    I should have said previously that i got a 10 gauge bent barbell from the start. I chose this as i thought it would be more comfortable for the healing process as it is less likely to hit off things and move. I think i was right. I will probably try a round barbell once the healing has completed and try to move up to an 8 gauge at the same time.

    Ok I have it in a week today and everything is going great. Apart from the initial piercing (as seen above)there was no pain involved at all for me. Initially there was a fair amount of blood, however there was little or no bleeding after the first 24hrs.
    Took it for a test drive today (I couldn't hold out any longer). I used protection as suggested. There was a little discomfort to start with but this soon gave way. The only way I can describe the sensation is "more". It feels the same but now i am also stimulating the inside of the urethra also. It just feels like more sensation.

    The girlfriend thought it was great. She was unsure about it at the start but once we got into it she loved it. She could clearly feel the 2 steel balls pressing against her insides. I think once i can dispense with having to use a condom things will feel even better. The piercing will have more freedom to move.


    I hope this will be useful to someone and not too long winded. I am not the best writer in the world.

    I'd say you'd feel quite a bit less ... discomfort with it, as the BCRs can twist around too, which can be uncomfortable at times, but actually means that the piercing tends to self-stretch too, which makes it much easier to change up a size. 10g (2.4mm) would be the standard size for getting the piercing done at. I'm at a 6g (4mm) BCR myself at the minute, and considering going up to 4g next (5mm), then maybe consider a 2g after that, see how it feels.

    I'm not too sure about the curved barbells myself for this piercing TBH, as I find that sometimes the ball on the BCR can disappear, having slipped inside the urethra, so I'm not completely sold on the idea, but might try it at some stage.

    just get a bigger ball on the end damo! :p

    I sizes up today. I thought i was pierced with a 10 gauge but it turned out to be an 8 gauge so i sized up to a 6gaugs. They didnt have any round barbells so i went for a bcr 19mm dia. It hurt a little but nothing too bad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Seriously? Little early to be sizing it up! If you leave it, it stretches itself, and then the larger jewellery just slips right in!


  • Registered Users Posts: 329 ✭✭Pierced Off


    If any of you gents want to treat your loved one, I have an unused, 18kt gold BCR for sale. Off hand I think its a 2g and around 22mm diameter, but if anyones interested I can post the exact measurements.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Dunno if I'd want gold there TBH. Had titanium for the first two rings, the one I have now is surgical steel, and I want to go back to titanium for the next one (which I think will be soon)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    High quality gold is very inert material so won't react with ya, it's just the lower quality stuff. 24kt gold would be too soft and malleable, 18kt is usually standard afaik


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Ah I know, I just don't like the idea though, thinking of getting myself a nice coloured titanium one though. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 329 ✭✭Pierced Off


    Wills, done his homework. 9kt is a no no for piercings, yes it can be used on healed but better to stay clear. 24 is too soft to make decent BCR's with. 18kt is the lowest recommended for new piercings and best for making decent jewellery from. Coloured titanium is cool, Damo, but imagine the kudos of having a €350 ring hanging from your best mate!

    If you do custom pieces I must get some from you to sell in the shop. Always happy to pimp out home grown talent.

    I'd be afraid to use it for the purposes it's intended for :pac:

    You are probably right but i wanted to change the ring type and when i was in the shop the ring sliped in very easy so it was suggested i try the next size.

    Its done now and all is well.

    How did it go for you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,101 ✭✭✭brianblaze


    Steve in Snakebite is a legend!! It was fine, totally bricking it beforehand, but it wasn't one tenth as bad as expected. Talked it through beforehand, felt at ease, and then BAM, done. It was a very tentative walk to the bus home though, waiting for someone to bump into me or set their dog on me or something. And I've just had my first pee with it in, which was lots of fun... IE fairly sore...

    All in all though, it was the second easiest piercing I've gotten, next to a standard ear piercing, if you ignore the nudity/ fella holding 'your fella' part of it.
