Body modification is nothing new but it’s become a new way for some people to explore their sexuality and Improve their Sexual Enjoyment. Various modification are connected with human sexuality. Perhaps the most well-known form of sexual body modification is penis enlargement. But this is far from the only form of body modification that has a strong connection to sexuality.
Body piercings have been popular for generations. The mainstream view of piercings usually only considers ears and, more often, noses or lips. But the world of body piercings extends to pretty much any part of the body you can pierce – including your genitals. Piercings for the genitals have a long and rich history, dating back to ancient times. The infamous – and ancient – erotic classic The Kama Sutra mentions male genital piercing.
Some people do it for aesthetics but others swear it enhances their sex lives as well. Nipple rings are perhaps the most common form of sexual piercing. People who have their nipples pierced often report they decided to do it after hearing it can heighten nipple sensitivity. For people who are aroused by nipple play, this can mean being turned on more easily, more often and more intensely.
Some women get their clitoral hoods pierced for similar reasons, though the pain associated with this procedure can be extremely off putting, even for those tempted at the thought of being able to get turned on more easily.
For men, genital piercings carry a certain stigma if only because there’s a natural sense of unease when it comes to thinking about putting a piercing gun near your testicles. But the truth is that most guys have their actual penis pierced, not their testicles and quite often the motivation isn’t their own pleasure at all.
The truth of the matter is that women will almost always get more physical enjoyment out of piercings – both their own and those a partner has. This is simply because of the mechanics of sex. Adding hardware to your penis gives it a whole new dimension of tactile sensation – something that becomes important when satisfying a female partner.
If you want proof of this fact, consider the most popular form of male genital piercing: The Prince Albert. The Prince Albert is a piercing that goes along the underside of a man’s penis and rests basically on his urethra. Of course this can – and often does – lead to better sex for men since the piercing itself – usually a curved barbell – rests and stimulates the underside of the penis. But the real attraction is what it can do for a female partner. Depending on the position, the piercing can be used to stimulate a woman’s clitoris directly without having to stop penetrative sex. Used wisely, a simple Prince Albert piercing can become your Ace in the Hole when it comes to getting your partner off.
It’s worth mentioning, of course, that these advantages don’t come without consequence. When a man first gets a Price Albert piercing, for example, urination becomes a bit of a challenge. As he heals and adjusts to the piercing, he’ll need to sit down to pee but, over time, he learns how to manage the piercing and can resume normal urination habits (i.e. standing up). Any piercing carries with it the potential for infection if not kept clean and genital piercings are especially susceptible. But as long as guys are willing to keep the piercing clean and maintain it with routine hygiene, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Piercing and body modification have a long history in terms of being a way for people to express themselves. Now we know some piercings can heighten sexual arousal, making them a kind of semi-permanent sex aid. As the world of body modification grows, chances are we will learn even more as to how the way we decorate our bodies can also decorate our lives, and just maybe, improve our sexual enjoyment.
