Do you have one? Know someone who does? Just think they're sexy? I'm dying to get one, but I'd like to get a few opinions!

They're not for me. I personally don't find them sexy in others. The idea of the pain would probably keep me from getting one even if I was interested.

I've heard from a few sources that clit piercings hurt pretty damn bad going in, then after it heals up it feels amazing when you walk, but then you go numb.

I dunno about you ladies, but I really don't want to go numb down there.

I personally don't care for them and would never get one.

Nay. They could get infected easier and would be painful. Its a personal choice so if you want to make that decision go for it. Advice do more research before you decide.

I think they're gross on men, though I did meet one guy where I thought it looked nice. He was different, though, and definitely an exception.

Don't have one. Don't want one. Don't think they are sexy. My opinion save your money for something else. We watch Adult movies and don't even like to see them on them.

As a former body piercer for more than a decade, I actually used to have two. Mine were a Christina (decorative pubic) and a Fourchette (perineum).

They're some of the quickest piercings to heal (you're just going through skin, and unless it's done by an idiot, it's not going through the clit - I've only heard of two instances of this occurring by incompetant, untrained piercers). This is an area that physically, you want to keep clean and free of debris and bacteria ANYWAY, and usually there's not a whole lot of aftercare for them as a result. I've only once heard of someone getting one of these piercings infected - and seeing their personal hygiene firsthand, their piercer should have never allowed the piercing to begin with.

Now, like I said - one of mine was purely decorative, and it was cute and every guy I was with was intrigued by it (ooooh, shiny things!). The other was a tiny, functional captive bead ring that would spin in and out with every penetrating thrust into me. I LOVED that piercing. IMMENSELY. And I was so happy for having experienced it. I'm FAR more sensitive down there now than I was before, even though the piercing is no longer in it.

As for people losing sensitivity - only heard of this once - one of the horrible attempts I mentioned above by someone who shouldn't have been piercing. And if someone's trying to convince you that you'll notice any type of those piercings with every step or orgasm continuously by running, going up a flight of stairs, etc... they're lying. There's not that much continuous pressure going on down there in order to cause that type of sensitivity. If there was, then the piercing would be painful, potentially swollen all the time, and the person would never be able to walk - and the piercing would eventually either tear or migrate from its original position. It just doesn't happen, no matter what they're telling you (they just want you to get it or figure someone else told them this and just because their piercing doesn't cause that, maybe something's wrong - nah, the person that perpetuated the fabricated story probably is thinking the same - that it was done wrong).

I'm not saying that a hood piercing (the appropriate term for what most people call a clit piercing) can't help with orgasm, because extra help, no matter what, can help SOME people - but definitely with a helping hand or something to conduct vibration down there.

Men's piercings are a little different, having to go through meat in many instances (ampallang, apadravya), but you have hundreds/thousands of nerve endings and you're not going to hurt them all at once, no matter what.

Does it hurt to get pierced there?

I've known a lot of people with them. They're generally very good looking and add to the sexual experience. However, it's important to go to a piercer who you know is skilled with the procedure. It's possible to lose sensation in the piercing site, so it's really important for your artist to be skilled.

Nay for me and my man. I would not want to take any risk in that area no matter how small. I do think some of piercings are great some are just a turn off.

Thanks for the great information. You cleared up a lot of questions.

I had my clitoral hood pierced late August of this year, and I love it - had my nipples pierced at the same time. As far as pain, the VCH (vertical clitoral hood) piercing hurt more than the nipple piercings. However, this is different for everybody. A VCH piercing just goes through relatively thin skin and usually is less painful than other piercings. I absolutely love my VCH and have no regrets!

If you do decide to get pierced, do your research before hand - find a good parlor with a reputable and highly trained piercer. Safepiercing.com is a great place to start, their members undergo pretty intense screening and, if I recall correctly, they are screened every year they continue their membership.

Not for me, personally. But I love the look of them!

I like them but don't: I find small piercings down below to be rather hot. However I have recently seen pictures of large, rather extreme genital piercings all over that just freak me out, I can't enjoy that look.
Anyway I like how they look but I don't have any piercings downstairs, and I don't know any friends with any piercings there either... Though if they do have any then I haven't seen said piercings for obvious reasons.

While everyone's pain tolerances and thresholds are different, for the most part, it's a big pinch all at once and the pain is over (even mostly for the healing of many of the downstairs piercings). This is both from experience getting AND giving them.

Nay, but "removeable" ones, yay. Like nipple rings/clamps that aren't piericings. etc.

I think some genital piercings can be absolutely beautiful. I want some myself, just need to work up the courage. Lol.

Honestly, I find them to be a turn-off. I mean, if I found out that someone I was dating had one, it wouldn't be a total deal-breaker, but it would make me uncomfortable.

Then again I'm not a big piercing fan to begin with (I don't even like earrings very much).

Not for me, thanks. I want to keep every one of my happy little nerve endings operational and I want to keep my dermal protection layer intact, and healthy. Not sure what to say specifically about genital piercings, but after you have seen the end results of some belly button piercings after getting infected, or the long term effects of tongues and earlobes that have been altered...well, the end results were not very pleasant for their owners.

I don't have one or know anyone who does. I've only seen them in a porno, or when I looked them up out of curiosity.

I personally think they look like they'd hurt so I myself wouldn't get one.
