Penis Piercing: The Ultimate Guide

A penis piercing is not only an aesthetic statement, it can also provide additional stimulation. But before deciding to get a piercing, it’s important to understand the different types of piercings, their effects, and how to properly care for them. In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know – from recovery time to risks and benefits.

A penis piercing involves piercing the tissue on the penis and placing jewelry there. The reasons for this vary: some want a visual change, others want increased sensitivity during intercourse for themselves or their partner. It’s important that you’re fully informed and consult a professional piercer so that you’re happy with the results and that everything heals well.

Different Types of Penis Piercings

If you want to pierce your penis, you have several options – some of which are less painful than others. Here you’ll learn what the piercing is called, how it’s done, the average healing time, and whether it offers extra stimulation.

Prince Albert Piercing (Pennsylvania)

Starting from the urethra, it passes through the lower wall of the penis and reaches the coronal sulcus of the glans.

Healing time: about 4 to 8 weeks.

Stimulation: Can be stimulating for both partners. Every movement of the penis stimulates the lining of the urethra in a pleasurable way, while the jewelry provides additional vaginal or anal stimulation.

Reverse Prince Albert Piercing (Reverse PA)

It is pierced in a similar way to the Prince Albert piercing, but the upper wall of the penis shaft is pierced.

Healing time: Approximately 3 months

Stimulation: Can be stimulating for both partners. Every movement of the penis stimulates the lining of the urethra in a pleasurable way, while the jewelry provides additional vaginal or anal stimulation.

APADRAVYA Piercing

The piercing is done vertically through the glans penis, sometimes through the glans groove – it often passes through the urethra because the body’s own urine promotes healing – but can also run along the urethra.

Healing time: 3 to 6 months.

Stimulation: Apadravya piercings are mentioned in the Kama Sutra and are considered particularly arousing during vaginal or anal intercourse.

Puncture

This is a horizontal piercing through the glans penis, usually through the urethra or just beside it.

Healing time: 3 to 6 months.

Irritation: An ampallang piercing can also be considered highly irritating during vaginal or anal intercourse.

Lace-up Perforations

This is a piercing of the sensitive frenulum.

Healing Time: 2 to 4 weeks.

Irritation: Since the frenulum is very sensitive to touch, it can be very irritating to the wearer.

Dydoe Piercing

This piercing is made from the edge of the glans.

Healing time: 3 to 6 months.

Stimulation: Can increase the sensitivity of the glans. It can also stimulate the partner to assume certain positions.

Hafada Piercing

This is a piercing that penetrates the skin of the scrotum.

Healing time: 8 to 12 weeks.

Stimulation: More of a decorative piercing, no additional stimulation required.

Puncture

This piercing is very similar to the ampallang piercing, but is located closer to the tip of the glans.

Healing Time: Several months.

Irritation: Very intense for the wearer.

How Painful Is a Penis Piercing?

Piercings such as the Prince Albert, Ampallang or Apadravya piercings, which go through the sensitive glans or pierce the coronal area of ​​the glans, can be very painful. Therefore, carefully consider whether such an option is right for you. Piercings that only penetrate thin skin, such as the Hafada piercing, are less painful. Here, less tissue is affected and there are significantly fewer nerve endings.

Risks and Complications

• Every piercing carries certain risks, including:
• Infection: due to improper care or lack of hygiene.
• Irritation and inflammation: especially during the healing phase.
• Bleeding may occur due to strong blood flow to the tissue.
  In rare cases, scarring may form.
• Changes in sensitivity: some piercings increase sensitivity, others decrease it.
• Jewelry issues: The wrong jewelry may cause discomfort or injury – including to the wearer.

Penis Piercing: Care and Treatment

Follow the piercing studio’s instructions on care and abstinence — depending on the condition of your penis piercing, you should abstain from sex for several days or even weeks. To ensure your piercing heals smoothly, you should also consider the following:

• Cleaning: Clean two to three times a day with saline or a mild antiseptic solution.
• Hygiene: Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your piercing.
• Wear loose clothing – this reduces friction and promotes healing.
