Clitoral piercings

There have been other threads about how much preparation needs to be done 'down below' with regard to hair removal/tidying up etc. The answer of course is none except for personal preference

I would like to draw attention to the above topic thread. After once again having to fiddle about removing a clitoral ring last night prior to delivery, I thought I would highlight it here. There is a risk of tearing during childbirth which can be made worse where there is a metal object! Although no-one can make women remove them it is something to think about.

Anyone had any experiences? Did you leave it in or take it out?

OH OH this thread is REALLY cheering me up. I'm going to say it again....BELL END

Hi zephyrcat!! So this thing goes DOWN the tube????? I cannot comprehend the thought behind that. Piercings just do not float my boat in any way shape or form. What happens at the airport.Do they say empty your genitals and your pockets????

emmatmg · 02/11/2004 13:57

small children hovering around me so can't search. Can someone do a quick biology lesson for me.

Please us the proper words, like spook's 'bell end' as it'll go staright over my head otherwise.

The banjo string is where exactly?

Glans? makes it sound like a fish......oh no.....they have gills don't they.....

Please explain.
P.s I know someone with her Laa-laa peirced.

Hiya spook how ya doing? What a pleasant thread to bump into you on!! The urethra is the tube that runs from the hole at the top - basically where they pee from lol It's all very attractive!! (or not!!)

sunchowder · 02/11/2004 13:54

I really learn alot on this site! Mears you are wonderful for fiddling with that--I don't believe I could have!

spook · 02/11/2004 13:49

OK-so the glands are what a laymen would refer to as a bell-end right (I just LOVE that expression and am thrilled to have got it in a post) But what is the urethra??? I thought she sang R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Mommy2Ro · 02/11/2004 13:45

Why didn't he just wash instead of piercing? (sorry feeling cynical)

spook -
The Prince Albert ring goes down the urethra and comes out behind the Glans on the underside of the Penis (near where the Glans join the shaft). It is also done off to one side of the centre web of skin. Some people have had two Prince Albert piercings, but this may cause pinching of the skin between the piercings during sex, if both rings are left in place during sex.

History behind the Prince Albert Piercing

The Prince Albert Piercing , also known in the Victorian days as a "Dressing Ring", was apparently designed to strap the penis tightly against the leg to minimize the bulge caused by the penis when wearing the very tight trousers which were fashionable at that time. As the rumor goes, Prince Albert wore one of these "Dressing Rings" to hold back his foreskin so to keep his member sweet-smelling so as not to offend the Queen.

gross

This string cracks me up. Needed that today.

Had a friend in college who went piercing wild and showed me her piercing on the inner labia (we were in a crowded bar and jammed into a toilet together. And whoosh, there it was...) Not a big deal, but wouldn't want one myself....

On that note, my DS is just nearly one. How do mommies keep "their gardens" tidy with a mobile little one on their hands??

Skate · 02/11/2004 12:26

Vomit!

That beats my unkepmt garden hands down

motherinferior · 02/11/2004 12:24

It's the lovely way you say 'fiddle about'...

Spook, you don't want to know. You just don't. Well, obviously you do, but I'm not going to tell you.

I am never going to take my knees apart again. For ANYTHING.

spook · 02/11/2004 12:20

I have just googled frenulum and am really really regretting the bacon buttie I just scoffed. The picture was all shiny at the top. UUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH.
WTF is a Prince Albert??

zephyrcat · 02/11/2004 12:15

I know of a few guys with the banjo string thing and a few prince alberts! No women with it done tho. You must be mad! I'd have asked the boyfriend to do it. Yuk!!!
