JONG Prince Albert Question

[Skip Dooley]

I'm thinking about getting a Prince Albert. Am I crazy?

Any Maggots got one?

I'm pretty set on it, It just seems like 2-4 months is a long time for a healing process.

[karma]

Tech talk?

I'm quite sure this (and possibly YOU) belong in a padded room.

[PNWbrit]

Go for it. Have a couple of shots, use an 18v Dewalt cordless drill and a few small band aids. When bleeding subsides and/or you regain consciousness put a burly screw gate biner though it. You'll never need to use a climbing harness just tie straight into it!

However don't stand next to me at a urinal because you're going to be peeing three directions at once!

Idiot!

You want to put a metal ring through your penis. What do you think?

[Skip Dooley]

Seth did it.

[AltaPowderDaze]

Seth did it.

if seth jumped off a bridge... you should already know the rest of the story.

i don't know if there are any negative side effects, but it sounds unappealing to me. why exactly do you want to do this? if there's a good reason, then go for it. but if your only reason is that seth did it, then you got nothin goin for you.

Hell, I haven't had a good laugh on this forum in at least a day or so. Go for it! Your TR will be a side-splitter!

Here's some info just in case you still had a few questions:

Prince Albert Piercing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Prince Albert piercing (PA) is a form of body piercing. The PA pierces the penis from the outside of the frenulum and into the urethra. There is also a reverse PA piercing which enters through the urethra and exits through a hole pierced in the top of the glans. The piercer uses a reception tube placed into the urethra to ensure needle exit.

A nerve bundle runs along the center of the frenulum. While some piercers may choose to avoid the bundle, others do not. The piercing may be centered if the bearer is circumcised. Otherwise, the piercing will be done to the side because the skin in the area needs to be able to radically reposition itself.

The Prince Albert piercing is apparently named after Queen Victoria's consort Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It is alleged that he wore a ring attached to his penis which was then strapped to his thigh, in order to maintain the smooth line of the tight trousers that were in fashion at the time. It is very difficult to ascertain the validity of this myth. No contemporary account of him adopting the practice has come to light. It has also been suggested that the name actually refers to Queen Victoria's grandson Prince Albert Victor. This theory probably stems from attempts to link Prince Albert Victor with the Jack the Ripper murders.

The PA heals more quickly than most other piercings. Despite a popular belief that urine is infested with germs, a healthy person's urine is actually nearly sterile until it exits the body. Some believe that the frequent bathing of the piercing with (sterile) urine contributes to the healing process. Infections of Prince Alberts are relatively rare. Initial healing typically takes from one to two weeks, with full healing taking as much as nine months or more.

Some men find that the dribble caused by the PA when urinating necessitates sitting down to urinate. This is not, as might be suspected, due to the hole made during piercing, but rather is caused by urine travelling along the surface of the jewellery. The effect may be exaggerated by different sizes and styles of jewellery. This is usually not a problem when using urinals.

Another common misconception is that the PA is a painful piercing because of the high concentration of nerves in the area. However, nerves are specialized in their function, so the high concentration of nerve cells does not prove a higher sensitivity to pain. Anecdotal reports from people with PAs are that it is not particularly painful, although psychological state, adrenaline, and one's pain threshold all affect this judgment.

Prince Alberts are sometimes stretched to a 0 or 00 gauge i.e. about 11/32 inch (8 to 9 mm) diameter. Prince Alberts typically are pierced at either 12 or 10 gauge (2 to 2.6 mm). In the case of a 12 awg (2 mm) piercing, they are usually either immediately stretched, or stretched after partial or full healing. Outside of this initial stage, they are rarely seen below a 10 gauge (2.6 mm). Stretching to sizes of 6 to 4 gauge (4 to 5 mm) is probably most common.

Jewellery usually worn in a PA include the curved barbell, captive bead, and the Prince's Wand. Short curved barbells are usually about 3/8" or so length, so one ball sits on the lower side of the penis and the other ball sits at the urethral opening. This type of jewellery prevents discomfort that can come from larger jewellery moving around during daily wear.

The Prince's Wand is a particularly unusual piece of jewellery. It consists of a hollow tube with a threaded cap at the end. The tube is inserted into the urethra, and a stem is inserted through the PA piercing and into another threaded hole on the side of the tube. The general shape is similar to a policeman's nightstick. The little side stem holds the tube in place. The threaded cap, often just a ball, can be removed so the wearer can urinate through the hollow tube without having to remove the jewellery.

I got one...
No problems at all... and mine healed up a lot faster than 2-4 months.
Get one now before the ski season start!

[Below Zero]

Your fucking crazy. Fuck that shit!

[rossibandit]

my question is, "are you goning to let a guy or gal give you a Prince Albert?"

[fez]

sounds like a good time at airport security checks.

[rossibandit]

BTW, why the post in Tech Talk. Do you need "do it youself" instructions

[FNG]

Had a friend who got one. The good news is that girls will demand to see your penis if you or your friends mention the piercing. The bad news is that according to him, you splatter a bit more when you pee and sometimes sex hurts when the ring gets folded over funny inside a condom.

Girl: "Oh my god, didn't that hurt?"
Eric: "Oh only about as much as you'd think getting a hollow shank of steel jabbed into your penis would hurt."

[Shake Zula]

Get yourself a vice, air compressor and a nail gun. Make sure you use ring shanked nails, they won't work there way out. With the fore mentioned tools you should be able to figure it out.

[Lostinthetrees]

Love it! Great post and response. ...yeah, Seth did it... well, maybe he did... Better cross-ref your sources, jong.

Anyway, I think you are on to something. Putting a dozen silver ball-type studs on your cock could be quite appealling or should I say appetizing. Your girl/boy sex partner might really enjoy themselves. But, not sure a condom would provide you with safe-sex.

Yeah, post up the TR w/ photos...pleeeeeeaze!

Ummm...is this the best place to ask this question?

Tons of people's submitted experiences. BME-zine is pretty cool, but beware, some of the stuff on there is pretty intense.

Oh, and I'd go for it.

thanks for th link. I had been checking out BME for a couple of days, real good site.

Pullin' the trigger next week, gotta get some sex and surfing in before-hand.

[phUnk]

Pullin' the trigger next week

I see you're going with the nailgun technique.

Good luck!

[Skip Dooley]

Good luck!

yeah, I'm just not sure whether or not I want to use galvanized.

[Dexter Rutecki]

Just get a giant hole through your scrotum, then you can pull it up and stick your penis through it. (Really no dumber an idea than what you're contemplating.)
