I have had both of my nipples pierced for the last seven years, and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. Most men I have dated have been turned on by them. But I don't care if they're not because it is such a turn on for me. I love looking and playing with them - or having them played with by somebody else! 

I recently convinced my best friend to pierce hers. She was always against them but now is in love with body piercing like me. Our most recent adventure has been piercing our hoods. I also have inner and outer labias pierced. All I can say is WOW what a feeling!

Both my wife and I (both in our 50's) enjoy some piercings. I've had nipples and a few cock piercings. She wants nipple rings, a navel ring, labia rings. She has both earlobes triple pierced and one cartilage pierced. Both were pierced, but one did not heal; we will have that one redone, and maybe a second cartilage in her right ear. Body piercings are significant turn-ons for both of us. The major drawback is how sensitive airport metal detectors are.

Shelly [see entry below] asks for thoughts about tattoos and  piercings. Personally speaking, I dislike both. Body modification to me is unattractive, especially if you have a beautiful body to begin with.

Have you ever seen older men and women with tattoos - what might have once been intriguing works of art turn into ugly saggy distortions. Or how about drooping  breasts with pierced nipples, or aged shriveled cockheads pierced. Egad! Now an aging body is not necessarily unattractive, but it can be made so because of body modifications.

From Shelly
As a follow up to my message a few weeks ago, my nipple piercing continues to be a source of pleasure! I am going to have the left one done today. I swear my nips are connected to my clit. Anyways, I have not seen anyone mention tattoos. What are your thoughts along with the piercings? I have a tattoo in the small of my back & my shoulder. I think most men love that! There is something nice to look at when going at it doggie style!

From Savonna L
I had my tongue done about 3 weeks ago. Considering how much it hurts to bite your tongue, this was easy. Then came the rules, try hard to cut back on smoking, and no straws for 48 hours. Of course, I used a straw. For three weeks I was in Agony. As silly as it seems, listen to the needler. I still have my tongue pierced. And am happy that I toughed it out. It's erotic for him as well as how I feel about myself

From Ghost Rider
Anonymous, in reading your post, I first would like to say its a pleasure reading a posting from a lady with piercings. There is nothing any more erotic than to see a lady with piercings in her hood, labia, and nipples to my way of thinking. Instead of letting a doctor start cutting on your clit hood, why don't you find a piercer that is really experienced and good at his/her job and have your clit itself pierced. Not being a lady, I have to take other people's word for it but I understand that this piercing makes the clit get larger. I also, understand that this piercing hurts like the devil when it is first done and takes a longer time to heal than most of your other piercings did.

From Lucy
I just got my nipples pierced yesterday! It was so random, I just told my two friends to come with me after work and I did it! It actually did not hurt very much and today they are not sore. I love it so much...but I have this desire to show everyone, but then again it is fun having a little secret. I mean, no one knows about it unless I am topless or wearing a very thin shirt without a bra. I am definitely looking forward to getting bars or more decorative rings when they fully heal.

I say, go for it! It's a fun change!

From Simon Taylor
I'm bi-polar and subject to very drastic mood swings. I had only been going out with my girlfriend for about a month so she was unaware of my medical problems. I happened to be on a 'high' when we were on a shopping trip to Brighton (UK). We passed a piercing shop and I jokingly suggested that I get a prince albert. She took me up on this and even offered to pay. Within minutes I was in the piercers chair having a large needle stabbed through the head of my cock. I screamed like Ned Flanders (The Simpsons) and almost passed out with the pain. 

After several weeks and quite a lot of discomfort it healed and I can happily say that it's the best thing I've ever done. My girlfriend (now wife) says it stimulates inside her vagina during sex, leading to more intense sensations for her and masturbation is now much much more satisfying for me. My piercer says that this is because the ring, passing through the penis, stimulates it from the inside where normally there is no sensation. Just thought I'd add my ten pence worth.

From Shelly
I just had my right nipple pierced a week ago. I had heard all of the stories about the piercing making the nipple more sensitive and erotic, and boy is that true! For me it hurt like hell, but the feeling now is well worth it. I am thinking of getting the left one done too. My husband loves it that I get "the urge" a lot more often now! It was pierced with a straight barbell and feels great! Still tender of course, but OMG why did I wait so long!

I also got my belly pierced about a month ago - that's sexy too. That's as far as I am going - unless I get the left nipple done. I also had small nipples that now are very erect!

From Anonymous
I love to read about so many people who enjoy piercing and sharing their experiences. I've been into piercing since I was 14 or 15. My older sister got her ears pierced and I was intrigued. I pierced and re-pierced my ears over the years until I began to wear earrings full time. The gold hoops went well with my hippie androgenese look. 

I discovered nipple piercing next and did my own nipples. I also did my belly and frenum. After piercing my nipples I became much more aware of my breasts and I had been wearing pantis for a long time so next I began to wear a bra to minimize stimulation and conceal my rings.

 Lately I have become interested in enlarging my breasts to become a full A cup. I tried herbal pills for 3 months with minimal results. Now I am taking hormones to feminize my body. I have stretch my right lobe to half an inch and have two regular piercings in my left ear. I don't plan to pierce anything else but I do enjoy the options my piercings allow me to express.

From Kim
Scarlet isn't a nurse [see Scarlet's entry below]. Scarlet really sounds like one of those people who believes urban myths and spreads them as truths. Firstly, a caregiver would use proper names for body parts, and more professional language, and besides that, it would be extremely difficult to get a blood clot and die from a piercing. They are mostly surface wounds to the body. But as always should be done by someone APP approved and who you feel comfortable with.

I'm a 30 year old woman finally about to take the plunge and get an eyebrow piercing. My earring holes have closed up due to having to wear headphones and monitors all day. This stuff sounds great but doesn't work with earrings. Ahh well. I've always wanted my eyebrow done.

I just need to discuss it more with my husband. When we've talked previously he was against it, but now that he knows I'm serious he's being supportive. Now this is for me, but he's gotta look at the thing. I want to make sure it's not a complete turn-off to him before getting it done.

He's an easy going kind of guy though, so I think he actually means what he says, but these decisions effect us both, so it's best to be sure.

From Scarlet
I have taken care of patients who had clits pierced and prince alberts in their cocks. Let me tell you - if a bad infection sets in the area swells up and oozes pus. Who would want to take a chance of losing their dick or their clit? The number one worst place to pierce is the tongue. Why? Because if it gets infected and you're too late getting to the doctor, you could experience brain abscess and die. I will never pierce anything on my body.

From Ghost Rider
Brcain9 [see lead-off question above] was kicking around the idea of getting her nipples pierced. I would recommend for her to go ahead and have them done. Have them done with either 14g or 12g rings. Also have a horizontal hood piercing done. I don't say that it wont hurt a little. Of course it will. Something is being stuck into your flesh. Just find a good piercer with a clean shop and that will level with you, letting you know what to expect and how to keep them clean while they are healing. 

I am advising the go ahead because I, as a guy have pierced my ear (8g), both nipples and stretched them to 6g, have had a pubic piercing (8g), done a frenum and stretched it to a 4g, and a foreskin piercing stretched to a 2g. I have had other piercings done but abandoned them because due to working they would start tearing out. Piercings are nice but make sure they are practical. It's a waste to spend money on a piercing and then not get to enjoy them.. 

The piercings that I advised Brcain9 to get are practical and shouldn't give her any trouble. Besides, I find nipple piercings and a horizontal hood piercing to be a turn-on. While I like piercing on a lady, just remember piercings do not make the person. The person makes the piercing. Too many piercings look tacky.

From Kevin
My wife offered me two diamonds for my ears. No problem except I was 50 years old at the piercing pagoda with young people all around, a little unnerving. I loved the ears, so why not the nipples. I found a good place they explained the procedure and I had the left one done, what a rush, I have never felt sensations like that. They told me it would be 8 weeks for that to heal properly and then everything would be normal. 

I felt lopsided so I went the next day for another rush that way they would heal together and we could do the lake thing and such in 8 weeks. It freaks some people out when they notice that my nipple jewelry. Most just ask did it hurt. I love it, I recommend it.

From Todd
Joe said it well [see Joe's entry below], and yes that goes for tattoos, too.

No, no, no. They are ugly and pointless, in my opinion. Seems that so many girls nowadays are trying so hard to be unique in their style or placement of piercings and/or tattoos that the only truly unique girls are the ones that have none of the above. It's unbelievable.

I may be somewhat extreme about it, I'll admit, but I will not date a woman with tattoos or strange piercings. Not because I think less of them as people because that's not true at all, but I'm just not turned on by it. In fact, I am 'actively' turned off. Seriously girls, you don't need a stud in your tongue to make your blowjobs feel good... it feels juuust fiiine au natural.

From Joe
Make this "piercing and tattoos"...for that matter, throw in breast augmentation, too. If I want to see mutilated bodies, I'll go to rotten.com or some similar site.

I see absolutely nothing artful, attractive, interesting, evocative, stimulating, humorous or enjoyable about punching holes and/or tinting the human body.

They're pretty nice the way they are...what makes you think you can or should "improve" the original work?

From Jim
Piercing grabs hold of you and makes you want to do more. I am a corporate lawyer living very conservatively on the east coast. I first visited a piercing shop in San Francisco in 1990 and was stunned by the magnificence of genital metal. It was three years before I could bring it up to my wife and discuss my getting one. 

On a trip to New York in the summer of 1993, I finally got a Prince Albert piercing. She thought I was crazy. Until she saw it and got to play with it. I followed it in 1994 with the most extreme male piercing--an ampallang. Wife didn't like it and I had to take it out. When she was pregnant in 1997 I got an apadrayva, another extreme piercing and had it for about 6 months. I've also gotten my tongue pierced, tongue web, nipples and frenum.

There is something about the process that is almost addictive. No one I work with or relatives would ever guess.

From JJ
I'm 22 and a musician. I love piercings. I have both earlobes pierced and later increased them to a larger gauge, myself. It didn't really hurt increasing them myself, but they were sore for a day. I've had two other piercings in my left ear, too. A second lobe piercing a little higher and a cartilage piercing. I've since removed those two. Also, I have my labret pierced (lower lip) with a spike. Some day I intend to get my eyebrow pierced.

When it comes to women and piercings, I find it erotic and a turn on. It doesn't matter the location, but having too many piercings in one spot is a bit much. I knew one girl who showed me her pussy. She had five piercings down there on her vaginal lips and clitoral hood. I love piercings, but that was a bit much.

From Hershey Kisses
I have my tongue and nose pierced. I recently had both my nipples done. It hurt for a few weeks and at some point I wasn't even sure if they were infected. As long as you keep them clean and you don't play with them all the time they are likely to end up being fine. 

I love it when my girlfriend sucks/licks them during sex. My nipples were sensitive before I got them done but now they drive me crazy during sex (a good crazy I might add). The first few weeks though they would get hard if my shirt brushed them the wrong way (I didn't wear a bra unless it was a sports bra) and if you have cats beware they jump on your chest and might even think the ball is "THEIR" play toy. But other than that I say go for em!

From Violetta
Having had many piercings, starting with the ever-troublesome belly ring and progressing, over 8 years, to my soon-to-be-pierced woman bits, I can say that it's a very mixed bag what will be sexually stimulating, and what will be merely mentally stimulating. For instance, many women have beautiful belly rings, but if the crease of your stomach goes through your belly button, like mine, it sometimes won't heal. Obviously that is more painful than pleasurable! 

My nipple rings look very sexy to me, and when I feel sexy, I'm more likely to be positive about sex. However, the rings didn't make my nipples feel any more sensitive. My tongue ring felt sexy to have, because it was a bond with a very sexy guy I knew; but when I got it re-pierced a few years later, it just didn't do anything for me, so I took it out. It's weird, I have a total metal fetish, and I think a properly placed piercing (well-selected to accentuate what's already there) can be really beautiful on almost anyone - but I didn't like how my ex's tongue ring felt when he was giving me head, and the sexiest piercing experience I ever had was a simple ear piercing! I guess it helps if your piercer is hot as well as safe. )

I think the most important thing when getting a piercing is to make sure you research exactly what you want and why, and what any risks/care might be involved. A site like bmezine.com is invaluable. The only unpleasantness I ever had was with the fussy belly ring, eight years ago. Make sure you're doing it for you, not just a partner or to look sexy. You might be surprised how much of a positive difference it can make in your outlook, even if you already like yourself.

From Ray
Here's my take on piercing, I would never dream of getting a facial or tongue piercing but I got a nipple piercing - it made my otherwise insensitive nipples sensitive. For the most part it is, like most piercings, just fashion - it looks great.

A couple of years later I decided to get a genital piercing- a lorum (base of penis and top of scrotum). I don't go around showing people so it's a naughty thing to do, a bit of a secret turn-on. It works really well for clitoral (or anal) stimulation with a dangling piece of jewelry. So well that the feedback from my girlfriends sent me back to get a frenum (underside of the end). At first it was a fizzle - it was irritating to me and my girlfriend. Until after about six months when it fully healed and I got some properly fitted jewelry. It really works well for control, by focusing on its stimulation I can come or not by choice. Now she prefers it - she gets disappointed when I take it out.

From Cantinadiva
I've been pierced for years and I love it. I have both of my nipples pierced and my navel. I've had more but have taken them out to replace them with tribal and kanji tattoos.

I love the feeling of euphoria you get with the piercing, I've had by nipples pierced twice, the second was 8 months after the birth of my son. This is the best feeling in the world next to sex, your body and mind are both transcended to a new level of clarity and ecstasy.

From Emily
My piercing list...ears, eyebrow, tongue, belly button and that "naughty place", my clit hood.

People ask me why I did the one below the belt and I say, "So my ex boyfriend could find it". I thought it could be like a big neon sign for him because he damn sure wasn't finding it on his own!

I am a little sorry I got it done now. I think it has taken some of the sensation away and having a sexy looking "naughty place" isnt worth the trade off.

From Zurichick
I started out with tattoos and then finally got over my fear and got my nose pierced about two years ago. Then last Easter I added my belly ring. Recently I had my tongue done. All of the piercings healed within the timeframe that the piercer had outlined. As long as you take care of your piercings and yourself, there should be no complications! Let me tell you, my lovers certainly appreciate the latest addition!

From Whitney
Response to Beth - content Hey Beth. I have my nose pierced, so I thought I'd answer your question. The piercing doesn't complicate things at all (except within the first 3 days of piercing.) Honestly, even then yawning hurts worse than sneezing. I have horrible allergies and my nose is just fine. Just thought I'd fill you in.

From Beth
I've been dying to ask this of someone who has their nose pierced. I hope this doesn't offend, but what's it like when you have a cold? I've had really bad sinuses all my life and there are times when my nose runs like the proverbial faucet. i can't imagine blowing my nose with a stud in it. Does it complicate things?

From Taen
I have to say that I've always found my piercings (and other peoples!) to intensify the whole erotic experience of sex. I know that my lover would be devastated if I took out the three bars I have in my tongue, he really loves them. And I love the feel of them in my mouth - they make everything from kissing to oral sex even more interesting and stimulating. There are downsides to having piercings. They can play up, especially if your general health takes a dip, but as long as you care for them properly there is no reason why you and your partner shouldn't enjoy the added sensations provided by them.

From pl048217
Information required: I've asked my wife if she would have here nipples pierced, she declined. As a result after several weeks I now find that the idea appeals for me to have one pierced. I've also thought about having my cock pierced, several times down the length of the shaft, what I would like to know, if I did would it enhance my wife's pleasure when we have sex, or would it just depend?

From Oldie But Goodie
I got my Prince Albert when I was 37. Over the last 5 years I've gotten larger jewelry as it stretched naturally from the original 10ga (about the size of a pencil lead) to 2ga (just over 1/4"). Everywhere it's been it's gotten rave reviews.

You can think of it as a built-in G-spot stimulator. The ring and balls drop below the line of the underside of my penis and the metal stiffens the tip a lot. The combination makes it much easier to get to "just the right spot". For my part, the ring turning and being pulled on each thrust (gentle or not) adds an incredible amount of sensation.

From Badtz
As a happily pierced and tattooed person, I can say that getting that first piercing or tattoo can start quite an addictive trend in ones life. People pierce for all kinds of reasons, but always be sure to find a shop that knows what it is doing and does good work. Regardless of what kind of piercing it is, if you take good care of it, infection is extremely rare (and Scarlet, there has been ONE reported case of a tongue piercing possibly causing a brain abscess, which the patient is recovering from. She did not in fact die as opposed to god knows how many healed piercings of all sorts. Obviously something was wrong with that piercing and removing the jewelry was the wrong thing to do, and most people who get their genitals modified take good care of them).

Piercing/tattooing/other modifications aren't for everyone, but if you are interested, go for it. I have yet to meet anyone who got themselves pierced who regretted it. Pierced nipples in particular can be rather good looking, in addition to increasing sensitivity in the area.

From Jude
I finally got the courage to have my nipples pierced about a year and a half ago and love it. I've always had very sensitive nipples so the pain was pretty bad, but hubby enjoyed my topless state for the first few days and was really supportive. After that it took forever to heal and I was really careful about cleaning and we were told he had to behave. Saliva is a very big no no on open piercings so it was a bit difficult for us. Now I love it. I'm super sensitive, always very conscous of them. I can actually feel the little balls bouncing just under my nipples when I walk, very sensual. If I ever decide I don't want to be pierced it's one of the few places that will grow over rapidly.

Would I pierce anything else? Not sure, I have no desire for genital piercings, scares the hell out of me actually. Belly button.. hhmmm not at my age (said as I suck my belly in) Eye brows or tongue, doesn't do a thing for me, ears I've got done, but maybe one more hole in each but that's about it for me.

From Kay
I would never dare presume to tell anyone that he or she simply must get this, that, or the other pierced. What works for me may well not begin to work for them, so I can only speak for myself.

My nipples are extremely sensitive, and I find now that the pierced one is exquisitely so. Breathe on it, and my cock starts squirming around; give it a lick, and up I go. It took me forever to get up the courage to have it done, as I was afraid of the pain just like everyone else. But it was quite tolerable, and the results have definitely been worth it. It has delivered in every way on my expectations for looks and for physical gratification.

Would I pierce anything else, other than my ears [one of which is pierced, BTW]? No. The very idea of getting my cock pierced is enough to make me want to encase it in concrete just as a protective measure. I rather like the look of a single piercing at the eyebrow or navel as long as it's a thin ring, but multiples or thick barbells don't make it in terms of being attractive to my eye. A pierced nose always makes me wonder how sloppy the jewelry gets when the wearer has a bad cold, and septum piercings make me want to tie a rope to them and lead the wearer around like a cow. You don't want to know what I think of tongue piercings; or worse, tongue splitting <ugh! cringe!>.

Then again, I'm sure there are a lot of people who wouldn't care for the three tattoos that I have, either, so... what's the phrase? Chacun a son gout <wink>.

From Murray
OK, I had no previous piercing experience so I took my long repressed desires off to one of the local piercing places (after doing some net research) and had 'Amber' jab my nipples and tongue. I also liked the idea of getting my dick pierced (not a Prince Albert but perhaps a ring through the edge) but did not have that much courage ;0 Pain wise I dreaded the tongue more than the nipples... Amber advised me that the tongue was less painful than the nipples so we did the nipples first. You breathe in and as you exhale she slides this needle through your skin... the sensation is sharp but not agonizing.

Within 5 or so minutes she had done all three and inserted the jewelry. It has now been a week, the tongue is virtually healed, I have shortened the bar once already and am ready to downsize once again. Very cool... I love it. My gf doesn't know yet (she is out of town, I will not see her till Christmas) but I think she will like it lots.

Nipples are doing well also although they take up to 6 months to completely heal. They look cool to my eye and the women I have showed them too seemed to think they are quite sexy as well. As far as sensitivity is concerned... my nipples were not very sensitive before so an upgrade is appreciated although they are still too fresh for me to want anyone to be anything but extremely delicate with them.

I would say go for it... a little research to make sure you are going to a reputable body shop is highly recommended.

From Charlie
With all this talk on piercing I thought I might as well send this in. Owwwwwww!!!! No fucken' way!

From Quicksilver
I have never had anything pierced and don't have plans to start any time soon. It's right up there with a tattoo, though a little less permanent.

Being a guy and pretty straight, piercings on a guy just don't do anything for me - but then guys don't do much for me either. Guys who go for that Prince Albert thing just appear as very strange people to me. If I were a woman I doubt that I would want to have sex with him.

On a woman, while nipple piercings may be interested, I have never made love to a woman who had pierced nipples. They are interesting to look at, but I am not sure that I would like to suck on a pierced nipple. I can only imagine that the ring would get in the way of sucking on and playing with a nice erect nipple and definitely not add anything to the experience. I think belly button rings look nice. I wasn't sure when I saw my first one, but they grew on me to the point where I like them and find them somewhat sexy. Genital piercings of any sort just plain look like they would hurt and I don't find them attractive, interesting, or sexy. A ring or a bar in a labia or clit just doesn't add anything and I imagine I wouldn't like it very much during oral sex either.

From fridayfungirl
Although I only have my ears pierced I would like to tell every guy out there that pierced nipples are supper sexy. I had never thought this until one of my good straight guy friends had his left nipple done (he did it himself by the way.) I had never looked at him in a sexual way before until he showed me. Now every time I see him I think about it and want him very badly. He also has both his ears done but I am not big on that. So far nothing has happened, but you never know...

PS I also have a guy friend who has his tongue, belly button, and ears pierced and he has picked up tons of girls who ask him questions about all three.

From Asteria
I just have to say how much I identify with Jennifer. I totally hate the way I look. Personally I find body piercings very sexy, when done in what I consider good taste. So my natural solution to hating my body? Pierce it. I was barely one month ago when I finally worked up the courage to go get my belly button pierced. I found the cutest little barbell with a smiley face on it (my personal symbol), but I suppose that's besides the point. When the man took me back to where he was going to actually pierce me, I admitted my total fear of pain. Now mind you I am totally into pain and love, for sexual purposes. But the thought of having some stranger stick a needle in me scared the crap out of me. He assured me that it would be no worse that having a blood sample taken at the hospital. OK, so there I went prepared for the worst. Not only did it not hurt, but I barely felt it. It takes allot, and I mean allot of care to make sure it does not become infected. But I can't wait to go out and get my nipples and tongue pierced. The nipples for me, and the tongue for my husbands pleasure. Not to mention, that as said before, for me getting a piercing is a total rush, it's like a natural high. I have been assured the act of piercing my nipple will be painful, but only moderately and only for a moment. And the pleasure I've been told of far outweighs the pain.

Oh and PS be careful with them and make sure your lovers are too. My husband in the heat of the moment ripped my shirt off of me, catching it on the barbell and sending me to my knees in horrifying pain. So please, do be careful.

From Jennifer
Hello, My name is Jennifer and I am a recovering pierce-a-holic. Perhaps you have heard of people who find the adrenaline rush from piercing addicting. I will vouch for that. I used to hate the way I looked. I was laughed at because no matter what I did I looked too innocent.

Some male friends suggested that I do a piercing or try drugs. Drugs were out of the question. I fainted when the guy at the piercing shop showed me his penis piercing. The next week I had my belly button done. I chose a silver hoop with a jade stone. Soon after, I had my left ear cartilege pierced. I got dizzy, but it felt so good! Then I started dating a piercing apprentice. FREE piercings! All I could handle. I had the belly button done again, and the other ear cartilege, and then my tongue. My mouth was numb, the needle pinched, I drooled all over myself and the piercer. I swelled up and talked funny for a few hours. I was not advised how to care for the thing - only told no oral sex for a few weeks, and no smoking. I went out and ate steak for dinner. Ripped the booger. It healed ok. I got a bigger ring in it. When it healed, I LOVED giving head!

Then my body rejected the belly rings. I replaced them by getting my tragus (the little nobby thing at the opening of the ear) done with a pretty lady with bright pink hair that patted my cheek and called me "momma." By this time the jewelry adorning my body was worth more than my savings. I was poor.

An inability to breathe due to a sinus problem meant I had to remove my beloved tongue ring. The rest came out when I had surgery. All that are left are the two on my earlobe that Mom did when I was six - and the tragus. Some day I may give up the tragus.

I am starting to value the look of innocence I was once so ashamed of, but I really, really miss the rush I got from piercing.

From Kelly
I myself have 6 piercings other than my ears. Two in my right eyebrow,2 in my tongue, one underneath my tongue, and one in my naval. Although I can't speak for the attributes to nipple piercings, I can speak for those of tongue piercings. It's great for giving head..plain and simple as that. If you've never had a woman give you oral pleasures who has her tongue pierced, then you don't know what you're missing. Not only is it pleasurable for the receiver, but also the giver. As for those infection, if you take care of it, make sure it's done right, and everything is sterile, you have nothing to fear. Don't knock it till you try it!

From Bob
As a male with a pierced nipple, I would advise that it is not for the weak of heart. However, after the initial discomfort which lasted about 6 weeks, I have had no problems and have found the sensitivity index to be off the scale.

From Beth
OK, here's my two cents on pierced nipples -- and if anyone who has actually had it done wants to speak up, please do so. My experience with it is rather roundabout as you'll see. I have not had anything pierced, but I did have a lumpectomy in my left breast. The lump was just under the surface of the skin, not too deep, and halfway under the edge of my nipple. The female breast specialist surgeon was careful to give me as tiny a scar as she could manage and she put it right next to where my nipple began so that it wouldn't affect the nipple itself (well, a tiny portion of it goes into the nipple but only for about a centimeter) while giving maximum camouflage. Only a faint skin discoloration is noticeable unless you really look for it, and even that doesn't always show up. What does this have to do with nipple piercings? I keep hearing about the 'feelings' people get from them. I can't swear that they're similar to the feelings I got after my surgery. If they are, I don't ever want my nipples pierced. It's a very unpleasant lightning bolt that does not stimulate sexy feelings in me at all.

From Guilia
I have met someone who had had his nipple pierced. He says the sensation is extraordinary and he likes it played with. However, he said it took about two months to heal - a lot more labor intensive than ears. Personally, I think it's VERY sexy, though not for the squeamish. I couldn't think to do it although I had my nose pierced and then had to remove it after a week because of work.

I considered the whole nipple piercing lark m'self for a while until someone asked me what'll happen if I want to breastfeed if I have a baby.

Much ado about nothing I'm afraid. I have a hoop rather than a stud in my nose. Most of the time I forget I'm even wearing it - I had a major cold several months back and it really didn't affect my nose-blowing at all.

From Lady Laurie
I have a total of six personal piercings not including my ears. I had my nipples done to intensify the dead feeling after childbirth - the doctor said without breast feeding my nipples might go entirely numb. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. It brought back feelings I thought long-dead. I love them very much and my hubby finds them erotic and sensual. I also have my outer labia lips pierced twice on each lip. I did this entirely for fun and for the way it looks. I love them very much - they have heightened the sexual act a bit, but nothing compared to the nipple adventure. We didn't wait to have sex - we were enjoying them the minute I walked in the door after having them done.
