Not so long ago any form of piercing on the male was synonymous with the “deviant”  lifestyle. Today, however, body modification is becoming more mainstream.  If you’re looking to get a bit more “oomph” out of your erogenous zones, or just some jewelry for your junk, there are plenty of options for guys looking for a piercing where the sun don’t shine.

1. Nipple Piercing

We begin with the most vanilla of the piercings,  the unassuming nipple. This is one of the most common piercings below the neck, and it’s easy to see why. Since it’s above the waist, you can get it done without having to expose yourself to the piercer (if you’re a male at least, sorry ladies), and you can show it off at the beach easily. However,  if you are trying to freak out the “norms,” then you’ll probably have to kick it up a notch. Anyone who was tuning in to the Super Bowl half-time show in 2004 (almost 90 million people) already saw the one gracing Janet Jackson’s breast, and the world kept turning.

2. Pubic Piercing

I know you guys wanna get to the cocks, but one more “tease” piercing. A pubic piercing on a guy is right above the base of the penis, a surface piercing through the skin there.  Due to it’s positioning it can at times stimulate a female partner’s clitoris, so ladies be on the lookout for this. Fellas if you want a genital piercing without worrying about scar tissue on your cock, this is your choice. It’s also far from the more sensitive nerve bundles of the penis, so it’s likely the least painful piercing on the list.

3. Foreskin Piercing

We’ve finally arrive at the penis itself ladies and gentlemen. This piercing does what it says, put a loop or bar through your foreskin. Naturally you need to be uncircumcised, or have enough foreskin left to gather up for this body mod. At this point you cross the line from “that looks cool” to “oh I have to put that in me?” when it comes to partners, so make sure you are ok with squicking a few potential hook-ups with this and the following piercings. Or just keep the lights off.

4. Frenum

Frenum piercings are where you really start to deck-out your dick. Though a literal frenum piercing would go where the head meets the shaft, either a bar or ring just under the head of the penis. However this term applies to any similar piercing on the underside of the shaft, and many people get several in a row to create a “frenum ladder.” With enough, you can act as your own ribbed condom (though you should still wrap it up fellas). These bars and rings are also commonly used in BDSM activities to attach chastity devices to the penis, so if you’re looking to take your submission to the next level this is a good step.

5. Hafada

Hafada is just a fancy middle-eastern sounding name for “scrotum piercing,” so if your mom wonders what your college money is going towards you can just say you’re studying the effects of Hafada on man. This is another surface piercing, going through two parts of the scrotal sack that are near each other, not through to the other side. However the thin, stretchy skin of the ball sack means that rejection rates are lower than normal. And you can get them mostly anywhere along the surface of your scrotum, so many men use this to extend their frenum ladder, which you can make go even further south with the following piercing.

6. Guiche

A Guiche (one syllable, rhymes with “leash”), is the natural progression southward from the Hafada. A piercing through the perineum, or as most people know it the “taint,” that can be the bottom of a frenum ladder, though at this point you’ve probably got enough metal in your groin to set off a security checkpoint. I’d only recommend this for true bottoms only, as the only way people are gonna catch a glimpse of this one is if you’re bent over, or on your back. Also this one’s harder to keep clean, given it’s location, and can cause irritation while sitting during the healing period.

7. Prince Albert

Ah yes, the infamous Prince Albert. The stories of his young majesty having a package so huge that metal was needed to tame it are almost certainly urban legends, but this piercing is very real. It starts by piercing into the frenulum, right in that notch under the head, then coming out of the urethra. Many piercing sites report it has a pretty low pain level, but this is according to people who probably have more than one hunk of metal in their groin. Best to get this one done over the weekend, cause your lil’ guy will have a bit of bleeding, especially while urinating, for a few days. And some leaking while taking a leak may happen even after healing, so you may have to forgo the urinal unless you want to paint your socks yellow.

8. Dydoe

Get ready for pain, cause now we’re going into the glans of the penis. This guy is like the lip ring of the cock, going from the underside of the head’s ledge to the top of the head on the other side. You can either have the one centered curved barbell, or a pair , one to each side. You also have to watch out when replacing or removing this piercing, as the glans of the penis is quick-healing, and can seal up in as short as a few hours. If you let that happen, it’ll be another much more painful trip to the body mod shop to get it reopened. Also due to it’s location, it’s much easier to get if you’re circumcised. Sorry uncut dudes!

9. Ampallang

Supposedly originating from the East Indies, the Ampallang is  a straight barbell through the glans horizontally. You can get this done either straight through the urethra at a perpendicular angle, or just above it. It’s actually recommended to have the barbell go through the urethra because the urine acts as a cleansing agent to aid healing. Regardless of which you choose, you’re looking at up to a year before it fully heals, so not a decision to be taken lightly (AKA be sober when you decide).

10. Apadravya

This piercing is simply the vertical version of the ampallang, a barbell going from the top of the head down to the bottom. While it may seem just as bad as it’s horizontal counterpart, it’s actually quite better for a few reasons. First it’s great for you, as it stimulates internal penile tissue, not something you get to do every day, as well as rubbing against that magic little bundle of nerves underneath the head. It’s also ideally placed to give your partner a little g-spot or prostate massage during intercourse, so much so that it gets a shout-out in the Kama Sutra! However it is a glans piercing, so expect some severe pain during the piercing and soreness or even bruising for the first few days. If you can handle it though, this step-up from the Prince Albert is a sexual investment well made.

Safety First!

Before getting any of these piercings make sure your body modification specialist goes over all the cleaning and healing rules with you. Depending on the stud, you may have to lay off sexual activity for days, weeks, or months (yes masturbating too)! The good news is none of these piercings interfere with condom use, so keep it wrapped up boys.
