Congrats on your decision to become pierced down below... My first piercing was a prince albert and i've had it for 5 years, and in a few weeks i'm getting an Apadravya. The pain would be one of the few things to be concerned about, but if your not worried about it, then great. The needle near your wang can be a bit intimidating, but, the short time of pain is for sure worth the outcome. Good luck.

I am not a piercer, just a pircee so I can only relate my experience. I have a high pain threshold and was pierced 12g for my Apadravya. The pain was no big deal for me. It was streached from 12 to 10 to 8 and to 6 where it is now. I think that getting your nipples pierced, and mine are, will be more painful.
If you are set on getting an Appy what is the difference if it is your first or done later. Hell just go have it done.

I really don't have any desire for a PDB piercing (yet, haha), but I'd be more put off by the bleeding than by the pain of the piercing. I just shudder to think of waking up in the middle of the night with a bloody wang, haha.

I got a PA a little over two years ago and quickly stretched it from 14g to 4g. Easy stretch. About 2 months ago I finally took the leap and got the Apadravya conversion. Since I had my PA at a 4 I wasn't really keen on having to let it go back down in gauge or wear multiple pieces to keep it stretched either...the thought of the jewelry rubbing against each other causing more movement in the new piercing wasn't appealing at all. I talked this over with my piercer and we ended up going with a 4g needle to do the Apadravya...it went off without a hitch. I've had no problems and am healing really fast. Already enough to play...gentle that is but still...

I can understand where starting off with an Apadravya would be very intimidating. That's why I initially went with a PA...that and the shorter healing time, but after a while I really did regret not getting the Apadravya to begin with, however, that is me and we are not all going to feel the same way about this stuff. It was just the whole time about going through the healing-downtime twice.

As far as the whole experience goes, there was very little pain with the PA...hardly any at all, more shock than anything and barely any blood; with the Apadravya there wasn't really much blood either. I even have a pic in my gallery of the piercing right after words. It did bleed overnight and spotted for about a week or more but still not anything that made me think anything was unusual. I just had to keep changing bandages and soaking. It did hurt more than the PA...alot more because as I've said that was relatively painless, however it was only a few seconds of pain and my experience is different because of that damn weapon that was used to pierce it (See pic in profile gallery). I will say my nipples hurt more but that's me. A friend of mine said his nipple didn't hurt much at all.

I am exteremly happy with my Apadravya and have had nothing but good comments from those that have seen it.

Anyway...congrats on your decision and happy healing afterwards!

I have a question that Jrod might also want to know. How long after the initial apa piercing is it before you can have sex?

Like most it can vary, for me it was right at four weeks. I tried at three but bailed out. I also changed the barbell at three weeks the initial "piercing barbell" was too long..an 1/8th inch in lenght makes a huge difference. As far as the bleeding, I only spotted but it lasted for three days. I just wore a mini pad which helped cushion too! I just stretched from a 10g to a 8g today

My PA was pierced at 8g. I put a condom on my dick for the first few days or so. Bled like hell the first day, and the morning after I woke up with like two inches of blood in the condom but after that it really wasn't bad.

part of the fascination of piercing for me is that each one is a unique sensation. it doesn't matter which you get done first, becasue it won't feel like any other. i don't have an apa but my dydoes were my most painful piercing (much more painful than nipples for me), but the pain was brief. when i got my frenum i was very confused when he said he was done and i didn't realize he had started.

My first piercing was the apa. Lots of reseach told me this was the one I wanted. And it looks real cool too. It was pierced at 12 or 10 gage can't remember as it is now almost 8 years ago when it was done. I'll never forget the few seconds of pain though. You'll never experiece that amount of pain again. (I think back to it now and would do it again just for the rush). I tried sex about 3 weeks after but the gage of the barbell felt like a cheese cutter in me, together with still being tender. It took about 9 months to heal.

Today I switch between gages of 6 to 2, normally going with 4 gage.

As time passes you'll find yourself sitting most of the time when going pee. If you want to stand up I've found that by pressing the bottom ball up so as to seal the bottom hole you can stand and pee but there may be a stream comming out of the top hole.

Sex: I've been with many different woman. Some like it some don't. I've also found that it has made me hold out longer and made the woman come faster. This is due to the balls on the barbell reducing the friction on the head during sex.

Over all. I really enjoy that I got it done. It took along time to heal and mastering that act of standing and peeing again. (sugest practicing in the woods). Hopes this helps.

I couldn't agree more! I often think about it and it gets me fired up. I was pierced at 10ga, which is a big freaking needle. But after that initial intense pain, the endorphin rush made it all go away. Amazing how the body responds like that.

The apadravya was also my first piercing. They immediately stretched to an 8ga barbell, which hurt a lot but also greatly reduced the bleeding (I did not need to leave the studio with a condom in place). I think its a wise move because the pressure helps and the pain isn't any different.

I'm currently at 6ga and waiting to stretch to 4ga. Don't expect to go much bigger than that but... famous last words right?
