I don't know why, but it still amazes me sometimes the photos that you can find from Wikipedia.
Ahem, anyway. I'm kind of against getting any piercings in general for myself, because I've managed to give myself so many by accident, that I'm sure if I had an intentional one, I'd probably unintentionally remove it in very short order.
But, from a friend who both his wife and he got genital piercings, they both gave up on them after a few months (after healing.) I didn't ask his wife her opinion, though she probably wouldn't mind. (We're all pretty close after all) But my buddy said they both liked them, except there was the constant preoccupation with the sensation that it might be pulled out at any moment while they were *in* the moment.
And as obligatory, I'm wearing my nasty, filthy jeans, and a gray t-shirt that's supposed to be white, and about a 1/4 inch of welding slag all over.
