Would you look at that? How many times have you seen body piercings on people and wondered why they would do that. It used to be if you saw a stud in a guys ear, you immediately thought he was gay. Then all of a sudden manly men like sports figures started wearing ear studs and you had to know which ear was gay and which ear was just studly. Then lo and behold, people started showing more piercings than just ears. Belly piercings, nose piercings, lip piercings, and the occasionally seen tongue piercings. What was going on!

There is a whole history to body piercings and the culture that goes with it but this is not the article to discuss that. There are certain types of piercings that people have done just because the result gives them pleasure. Usually the pleasure is supplied in several ways.

Men and women are not much different in why they get these kinds of piercings. I admit some of the locations, while they can be similar, are very different in application but the main reason is because these piercings can be used to enhance their sexual life. I do not know many people that think a pierced tongue is that much fun in a normal world. There is a sexual reason for getting a tongue piercing not a fashion one. No one I know of goes around with a lisp and a piece of jewelry clicking against their teeth because they think it is in fashion. They do it because it gives a fantastic sensation to a pussy or cock when they are giving head.

When nipples are pierced it is not because that person is going to run around bare-chested and show off the piercings (please note guys and gals get nipples pierced for the same reason and they do not even have to be gay). It is done because it really feels good when someone pulls on the rings or studs or whatever jewelry is inserted at the time. A little twist here and little tug there. A mighty tug later on. Who knows, if that someone is like me, that alone can get me hard enough and excited enough to almost come (remember The Quickie in the shower).

There are other places that, while I have not experienced them myself, I have been told can be so exciting that just manipulating the jewelry can cause orgasm. I know of a woman that had a piercing on her clit, well just behind it actually, and when she had sex, it was a focal point for foreplay and provided a delightful sensation during the act of intercourse (fucking for most of us). There are other piercing locations for woman on and around their vagina area that can supply just as good fun as that one. There are the lips, the area just below the opening, through the clit itself, and many more.

The guy has many options also when it comes to sexually placed piercings. Through the tip, under the head (very exciting one that), the famously fun Prince Edward (into the opening and out the side, bottom, top or wherever), below the scrotum and more. The main thing is, both sexes can get piercings in areas that will never show in public but can be used to enrich their lives.

The thing about piercing is that a little pain at the beginning results in years of pleasure. Do not kid yourself getting a piercing is painful. Also, there can be resulting complications like infection. That is why if you think you might like to try a piercing, say one nipple to start, you should definitely go to a professional. Just because someone can give you a tattoo or sell you a set of pierced earrings does not mean they know how to do a piercing properly. Professionals are trained in the proper placement of the piercing, the proper techniques to get the job done with the least amount of pain and how to give the proper instructions on the care and maintenance of a piercing. While I had my done at one of the best, The Gauntlet in West Hollywood, many years ago (look them up they were one of the pioneers in this stuff), there are now many reputable piercing facilities with properly trained staff. Please, and I cannot say this enough, do not trust your friend (unless they are a trained professional) or the ear pagoda in the mall or places like that to do any of your piercings. You are, after all, making a hole in your body that can possibly create problems down the road. GO TO A PROFESSIONAL!

The biggest thing you have to watch out for, in all honesty, is getting addicted to the effect piercing can have on you. That is probably the reason you see some pierced people with rows of piercings on their ears and multitudes of piercings in their face. You can bet they have them in places you cannot see also. They probably have become addicted to the pleasurable effects piercing can produce by itself, regardless of the sexual nature of the piercing I have mentioned. Just be warned, you too could fall under the pleasure curtain of piercing if you start.

Enjoy!
