Looking for an opinion on a genital piercing

    Hey folks,

    This question is more targeted towards women, but feel free to speak up guys,

    I have a Prince Albert piercing (if you don't know what it is, DO NOT Google it in work)

    I have not "been with" a woman in a while, since the last time I was with one I have had the piercing done, it has been done about 6 months now and obviously it has come up in conversation with people one way or another. The general reaction from women is "I feel sorry for whatever girl you get with" or "Would that not hurt a when you are having sex?" and the good aul "What if it gets stuck?"

    Firstly, let me put it out there (no pun intended), no, it cannot get stuck. But my question is this, if you heard a guy had a Prince Albert piercing, would you genuinely be afraid of having sex with him? (I know a few people that have it done, and their partners, and coming from their partners, no, it doesn't hurt)

    Just wondering

    Edit: Oh, and yes, the reason I ask is, I have been chatting to quite a few women who I like, all goes well and we are getting on and it is looking like it might go somewhere, then someone always says "He has is d*** pierced" and they give a surprised but interested expression and ask about it, but nothing ever transpires.

    I'm not against piercings, but I personally would not sleep with somebody with a PA. Mainly for fear of a condom ripping, and also because tbh I hate the look of them.

    So yeah, tbh it WOULD turn me off somebody.

    I've had a PA for almost 7 years now. I've never had a single problem with it.
    When it got to *that* stage with anyone that I've been with, I did get some of those questions that you've mentioned, but simply explaining how it works and allaying any worries that they may have had, it just left curiosity. And mostly, it was liked (and even recommended!) by those that, for want of a better word, 'tried it'.

    There should be no problems with condoms ripping so long as they're used correctly, and you use good quality ones that are the right size. (You don't have to get a bigger size simply because of it.)

    If you just don't like the look of them (or feel for that matter) that's cool :)

    From what my friends have told me, the condom's don't rip and I don't see how it could.

    Thanks :)

    Yea, I still get the same size ones as before :)

    That's good advice. And yea, from the girls, I hear the same thing. Guess it might just be something to tell the people I am out with to stop bringing it up so I can tell them myself or something.

    It would be a turn off for me, I just don't like the idea of it. I have 3 piercings in each ear and my bellybutton pierced so haven't a problem with piercings in general...that one makes me squeamish though. I've seen one IRL, there's just something that doesn't sit well with me about having such "delicate" parts pierced! I'd feel the same about women's genital piercings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,484 ✭✭✭username123


    It would put me off but only because I don't like piercings at all. Even if I didn't mind piercings I'd be worried about allergies (I'm also allergic to latex!), and I generally feel that pierced holes harbour bacteria (this might just be because I don't like them anyway) or that piercing jewellery has nooks and crannies where bacteria lurks also (again, this might just be because I don't like them anyway). I'm very squeamish about piercings so that's just my own thoughts.

    Despite assurances I would have a concern about a condom ripping too.

    Oh, I totally understand it is not for everyone :)

    In relation to the bacteria side of things, I clean all of my piercings every day (I have 30 in total),

    The funny thing, which I should have mentioned before is, I have my fenium pierced twice and no one seems to have a problem with that (my ex enjoyed it) and have never had a condom rip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,463 ✭✭✭loveisdivine


    Wouldn't bother me at all. I'd actually be rather intrigued :D
    Maybe I'm in the minority with that opinion but I'm sure there are plenty of others that would feel the same.

    I don't know if its possible, but could you ofer to take it out during sex?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭bp


    Nothing worng with them and if condones ripped because of one I would be a mother many times over!

    Women are curious and men freaked out!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,900 ✭✭✭rannerap


    I'm a girl and it wouldnt bother me in the slightest! The ones that would be scared are generally just uneducated on body piercings. I have my own lady parts done and also get all sorts of weird questions, you have nothing to worry about!

    Indeed it is possible, but, (I don't mean to make it sound like it is going to sound) it would be a pain to do it every time. For example, imagine the two of you were in bed or on a couch or whatever, and things are going well and one thing leads to another followed by "hang on one sec while I take this out". Not that it would be a problem for me, but it would kind of kill the mood.

    Been with a guy who's pierced for 3 years now. I was a bit curious at first, maybe a little intimidated just thinking how do you even go about this! But it's great. Think we took it out once or twice to see what the difference was and its much better with it!

    Never once had a split condom either, our main method of birth control for most of the 3 years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭Grayfoxy


    Oh and I do really appreciate all of the input :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,166 ✭✭✭Tasden


    I wouldn't find it weird but I have a vch so its not a bizarre concept to me whereas some people find it very strange, it depends on the person how they would generally feel about them. And tbh if a girl likes you enough then she won't mind after the initial curiosity/shock/intimidation or whatever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    Would put me off more to be told "he's had his dick pierced" by a random friend more than the actual piercing itself tbh.

    I dunno, maybe I'm old fashioned but am not particularly enamoured by that sort of casual-banter-down-the-pub approach to intimate parts. I don't casually banter about my lady parts. I'm sure if I was pierced my friends would know about it, but would sort of know not to fling it out there thoughtlessly with someone I was potentially going to hook up with, you know?

    I wouldn't necessarily be put off by the idea, but would be far more open to it if it were to crop up intimately between myself and the guy.

    That is one of the things I was thinking, it usually starts with a question about one of my facial piercings and then BOOM, one of them jump in and blow my chances.

    I recon I need to have the chats with them.

    Girls are curious about Prince Alberts and men terrified - boys and their willies!!! From my experience guys shudder at the thought of getting it done

    Garryfox are you my husband in disguise!!! Facial piercings, prince Alberts :-)

    Ah yes, I know what you mean, to be honest, wasn't really worrying atall, was more concerned about the peeing fire for two weeks (which was indeed a pain in the ass)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭bp


    That I remember witnessing (with glee and a hint of meanness!!!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭Grayfoxy


    Were you there when he got it done? As after effects go rubber gloves have more than one use apparently XD

    Yeah - tell your friends to stop telling people! Sounds like they are doing it to kill your chances anyway, as any time they say it the girl backs off! (Nice friends ;)!)

    I used to find that "over familiar" banter, a bit off putting too. Sometimes, some people can get away with it. Other times it just comes across as cocky (pardon the pun :o ) and annoying.

    So maybe it's not necessarily the piercing itself, but your mates announcing to whoever is around that there's a chance she is going to being up close and personal with your willy later!!

    This makes sense :)

    Yea, they are messers, and it is not only the lads. Gonna have to say it to em ^^

    For me it would probably be a turn ON! Everyone's different. I've experienced one...it wasn't a Prince Albert exactly, it went vertically through the entire head. I was really excited to try it, but unfortunately it was too sore (not because of the piercing, because he was too big :o). But the idea definitely intrigues me!

    Been considering an Apadravya and/or an Ampallang, but I think they might be a bit impractical. Perhaps I am wrong.

    A lot of mixed view here, thanks!

    I was with a guy who had multiple genital piercings and I personally loved it. New sensations etc. Was a big plus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,145 ✭✭✭Katgurl


    ohhhhh my god the memories... i've just remembered a guy I had a fling with (and was utterly besotted by) in my youth had one, it was amaaaaazing in bed. Any girls getting upset - suggest they PM me and I'll put their mind at rest :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭dellas1979


    Nope-would not put me off in the slightest.

    However, as beks said, the way that info is currently coming out could be off-putting.

    Some women would not bat an eyelid if your friends piped up straightaway and said youd your willy pierced.

    However, most women I imagine would want/like to know, maybe after getting to know you a little better, i.e., youre not just the guy who is "an amusement to his friends cause he's a willy piercing" which is how its coming across, right now anways.

    Its almost like your (interesting) willy is preceding you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 706 ✭✭✭SATSUMA


    I think it looks horrible and it would definately put me off. I'd probably scream and run if confronted with such a beast!!!!!!!! Lol

    Ok so....

    First night out alone on Saturday, ended up bringing someone home, she absolutely loved it and was never with a guy with one before, let alone three. PA stretched to 8mm :D

    Yea, so, she was up for giving it a go, we were chatting earlier and said it was quite big, so I explained the whole stretching thing, she said "And next time is it going to be bigger?", erm, winning :D

    Edit: Oh, and the condoms didn't rip.
