The apadravya is a wonderful piercing. Hopefully you will agree, and if not, well then at least understand why.My older cousin is really to blame, he had his done and his description wasn't helping much, so he asked if I wanted to see. So being that we're family and very secure with our manhood, why not I said. Let me tell you, you can't exactly describe it, that's for sure.So I was turning 18, and still living at home. My mother was and still is very against tongue piercings and tattoos. So I narrowed my choices down to nipples or penis. At the time I had heard nipples were the absolute worse, and I'll explain later that they are. So there I was about a week and a half from my birthday. I had already told everyone at school that I was going to, so I couldn't chicken out now.I called up a local tattoo studio, Classic Tattoo in So. Cal. The man I spoke to, Jim, was very informative and helpful. I set up the appointment for after school and off I was.Jim was very thourough in explaing aftercare and also his pre-piercing antics. Everything was fresh, right down to the latex gloves. I first had to have a Prince Albert done, Jim said there was too much tissue to pierce all in one poke. So instead he was going to pierce from the bottom of my penis and out my urethra. So here we go...the burning sensation I felt was like no other. And blood, blood, blood. A condom was used to help keep blood from getting everywhere. The next 2 1/2 months were no fun. For the first week it was very difficult to walk with out moving my penis around. And for anyone who has ever had blood in their urine, you know my pain. It was almost enough to make want to remove the piercing altogether. However, I stuck it out, and after the 2 1/2 months I went back to finish the job. Shouldn't be so bad right? Only half way to go? Wrong. While the blood and pain afterwards was not near as bad, the piercing itself was hell. To start from the hole in the bottom and go straight up through that hard tissue of the head of my penis was brutal. It felt like he was pushing and pushing, and still nothing. But alas, it went through. A quick twist of the end of the 14g barbell and I was through.I happy to say that although 2 of the 3 women that I've been romanticlly involved with could not handle the barbell inside their vaginas. But fortunately, my current significant other can and loves to. Even so far as to tell a mutual friend (who she thought she told in secrecy) to find a pierced man. So for anyone who has thought of getting this procedure done. I highly recommend it. Don't feel as if you're damaging your penis, just accessorising.
