I honestly have never been with a man that has had his member pierced. Belly buttons and under the ball sack, sure, but I've never been with someone that has had metal going in and out of the shaft in any direction. Is it gross? I don't think so. It's just very different and a little exciting.
The second most common types of penis piercing is the Jacob’s Ladder or a frenulum piercing (a piercing or multiple piercings on the underside of the shaft of the penis). It's a procedure that goes through the skin underneath the penis. It’s supposedly a small amount of pain that lasts for a brief second, but when it happens, it’s very intense.
The most common penis piercing is the Prince Albert (a piercing toward the head of the penis). They look a lot scarier than they are because you pierce down through the urethra and then out of the bottom wall of he shaft.
But is the bling worth it on your junk? Doesn't a piercing also affect other aspects of your every day functions down there, like peeing and sex?
MensHealth.com interviewed celebrity body piercer Chris Saint and asked him some very candid questions about piercing the peen.
What is the actual piercing procedure like for a Prince Albert?
It’s slightly uncomfortable. What we usually do is use these hollow metal or glass tubes. I’m pushing that tube down into the penis, and then we’re going from the outside into that tube. Every piercer is going to have a different method. Some don’t use the tube and like to open the urethra with their fingers and push the needle down. I don’t like that because it scrapes as it goes down. It’s a real soft area. Or an occasionally soft area (laughs).
That was the full answer to that question, but here are some other questions with abbreviated answers.
Does someone’s individual anatomy, such as their penis size or whether they’re circumcised or uncircumcised, play a role in piercings?
We’ve done it on both [circumcised and uncircumcised penises], and it doesn’t make a lot of difference…
What’s the healing process like?
It takes around six to eight weeks for everything to heal up nicely. It varies. Sometimes right after you pierce it, people bleed a little bit…
Do you have to abstain from sexual activity? Does it make putting on condoms more difficult?
You just have to learn how to do everything again. It’s not so much painful — it’s more that your body is a different shape now…
Can a penis piercing increase sexual sensation?
It might be good, or it might be bad; it might be good for both of you. It really depends…
If you’re interested in getting your penis pierced, what should you look for in a piercer?
Finding someone reputable is crucial. The best thing to do is find someone who has examples of their work…

Have you had a Jacob's Ladder or Prince Albert?
Any side effects?
What questions or worries do you have that might be holding you back from getting one?
Had my piercing done 5 years ago first time guy did it wrong and pierced far too low into my shaft went to other piercers and they told me to take it out which I did and got it redone properly and had no issues since.
I love it and it one of my favourite piercings.
I’m uncut and I have no problems with it.
Pain was very little and couldn’t have been bad as I went through it twice lol
I’ve had mine for almost a
I've had mine for almost a year. I t was the most painful of all my piercings, but it only lasted for a few seconds. I did bleed a bit, but my piercer gave me some plastic pads they use to cover tattoos. I used that to wrap the pierced area.
I had it done about 10 years
I had it done about 10 years ago. It hurt like hell when it was done but afterward it was not painful at all. Healing was easy and quick. I wouldn’t do it again if I had the option. If you take out the ring or post you drip when you pee it’s nothing but annoying.
I have a Prince Albert, it
I have a Prince Albert, it did bleed a little over night but it was wrapped and the guy that did the piercing advised me that it would bleed.The healing went well, no side effects. This was the first piercing that I got.
