First of all as with any piercing have it done, as it is not a do it your selfer. I will guarantee that you will get the cbr in a position that will pinch when you first have it and sit, ride a bike etc. In time you will learn to position things so that does not happen and all will be right with the world. So go get poked and enjoy.

Thanks for the comment. Absolutely, my level of masochism does not extend to self inflicted abuse No chance of that happening. Only self willed abuse....

I'm just curious about the general sensation after the healing is complete. I understand that there will be twinges and awkward moments likely, but I'm wondering how often those arise.

It isn't the same, I know, but the only experience I have to potentially compare this to is the 3 earlobe piercings I had 30 years ago.

I can help much about the post, not having, you know, the appropriate ... experience, but I would like to congratulate you for researching the big picture, and not being happy with "I only just got it, but I love it" stories.

I only wish more people did!

I would also consider an apadravya if I were you. While wearing a straight barbell that fits comfortably, I very rarely get into a situation where the piercing pinches me or causes any pain. Sometimes in the morning when I've got an erection and I move a certain way, the piercing catches on the front opening of certain boxer shorts, and that doesn't feel good. But its more of an annoyance than a painful experience.

Honestly, I've had no problems riding a bicycle (both a road bike for distance, and a mountain bike on trails). There are times during the day that I completely forget about the piercing. Part of that, again, is that I wear a snug fitting barbell that only leaves 2 balls on either side of the piercing. Works well for me.

I'm so glad to hear it annoys others

ps your image reminds me of a group called Controlled Burn.

Pardon the ignorant question, when you say snug fitting barbell, you're referring to it being snug when you're erect right? If so, wouldn't that leave several millimeters exposed when you're flaccid?

I guess thinking more about when I had multiple ear piercings, there wasn't much of a pain problem with them, but we are talking about different areas of the body and nerve endings too. So maybe what I'm asking is how would those healed genital peircings' sensations compare to a pierced ear?
Wacky, but that's all I have to compare at the end of the day.

It's interesting mentioning the apadravya, I enjoy the appearance of the PA, but also there is the consideration of it being generally less painful and quick to heal, as well as less painful I'll look into the apadravya a little more; is yours above or through the urethra? Why?

Thanks,

Leo H.

question on apadravya, if you have a foreskin, will this piercing be a problem as it would not let the foreskin come right over the head or the penis will it?
Dont know, just thinking aloud!

I couldn't tell you about foreskin issues, though I imagine it could be a problem.

As for the snug fitting barbell, yes its snug when I'm erect. In fact, I recommend that you have it "very" snug, since its not going to hurt you and it won't be snug for a long time (unless you've got priapism ). The benefit is that there is so little barbell left when you are flaccid, that the chances of it catching are greatly reduced.

My apadravya is through the urethra. If you try to go around it, there's no way it could be symmetrically straight. And by going through it, the flow of urine is supposed to help with cleaning. Only difference it has made with urination is that the bottom ball often drips, which is easily manageable (its very slow and drips straight down). So I haven't had to sit.

I have had my PA for 2 yrs now and also ride a bicycle to work. I have never had any problems in doing so only on occation if the cbr was in an uncomfortable position it might pinch a little while healing but now its fine.
I also had a motorcycle at the time i had it done and riding that always brought a smile to my face, it gave me some of the best sensations ever! Bike had to go, I miss those vibes so much
My advice to you would be to get it done if you really want it, I love mine and wouldnt be without it now. Wife likes it too. Bonus

Thanks. That's what I'm looking to hear.

I've had mine for just about ten months, I'm currently at 6g and plan to stretch to a 4g in a week or two.
If I understand your question, you are asking if there is much sensation in the piercing after healing?
To be honest when I am out and about doing my daily business I hardly notice it. Except, I changed to a circular barbell not long ago and it got caught in my scrotal piercing when I went to take a leak, and that was not a great feeling!
The feeling for me is most noticeable (and enjoyable) when naked and can feel the weight of it. Or when having sex of coarse.
I ride a mountain bike with no problem and am getting a motorcycle before long and I don't anticipate any problems with the PA.
BTW, I wear either briefs or boxer briefs. They prevent moving around too much.
My recommendation? Get it done and share your experience with us.
Good luck!

In agreement with chrmkr also, its a good sensation when walking naked when pierced i quite like how i sort of jingle its nice

ouch. This would be an only piercing for the forseeable future, so that's a pass. I can see how that'd be a problem

Reading these posts is helping me imagine what it would be like and it makes sense. I am interested in this kind of a piercing because it's not obvious, it's kinda kinky, and it seems like it would look and feel cool. It's just trying to get a handle on the idea of just how constant the constant sensation might be for this piercing.
I do wear briefs or the boxer briefs and I've read enough faqs and posts to understand they're the way to go.

I need to figure out how best I would present this act to my wife and no one but me can do that; probably by showing her all the pretty jewelry she now can pick to put in my ! !

It'll happen when it's the right time to occur but I feel that it's going to happen.

Thank you,

Leo H.

Jingle? How many piercings do you have?

Leo H.

So did you have input on how long the piercing ought to be or did you just rely on the piercer and did they tell you, 'I'm putting Y size in because for X reason is why the piercing is Y sized'? Also, how large is the wand you have and how large are the ends, thinking about what you said about how it's 'snug' when you're erect?

Leo H.

When I was pierced, the barbell was longer than necessary to accommodate potential swelling during healing. I actually did not have any (hardly any bleeding either) so the longer barbell was uncomfortable, but manageable.

After 3 months, I took a magic marker and marked the extra part of the barbell when I had an erection. The piercer used my measurement to select a 1-inch barbell, and then she replaced it on the spot. She would not have agreed to replace the bar until at least 3 months healing time. Either way, the shorter bar was much more comfortable.

I've got 4ga hardware that I'm waiting to put it (not quite ready for the stretch) and I bought a 15/16" barbell just to see how a smaller size would feel. We'll see how that goes.

I`ve had my PA for about 3 years going from 10g to 0g and never had any problems re discomfort other than when I had it first done and that only lasted a short time. I just love it

It sounds like you went to a piercer who knew her stuff.

This is just a curiosity question, for anyone, but at what point in the jewelry expansion does it actually affect urination? I'm sure that a 10g wire isn't noticeable, but there is some size that is a point of diminishing returns.
