and I decided that it would look better with a piercing. So I put a dull piece of metal through it this evening. No biggie. I took a 14 gauge ring, and shoved it through through the shaft, at the top. It’s merely a surface piercing, no big deal. It’s doing quite nicely. Don’t worry, no sharp instruments were brought into proximity with it. Just felt I had to share.

Maybe I’ll take it out and show it off now.

I’m focussing on minutiae to avoid screaming and curling up in a fetal position. :eek: I’m not sure it’s going to work.

Oh hey! I wanna see it! What fun is a piercing if ya don’t whip it out in public places on demand? (Make sure you tell all your friends what you did so they bring it up every drunken moment you are together…It’s considered polite to be “asked” to show it before you whip it out and wave it at the bar.)

big deal.

No, seriously, that’s pretty cool. There’s no way I’d do that to myself, I’d definitely have consulted a professional.

Anything on BME to give us an idea of what it looks like?

When I’m bored and looking at my penis, I usually find myself doing something other with it than jabbing sharp metal implements at it with the intent of getting the metal to stick. Hey, YMMV …

(I also just don’t understand the comedic stylings of Jerry Lewis. Or was that Jerry Lee Lewis?)

Well, Beatle, his first effort went a tad wrong… so he can still pee standing up, but he needs three toilets to do it without making a mess.

No pictures, please. That’s all I ask. I’ve seen Bea Arthur naked. Isn’t that enough torture for one man to endure?

I once had a model in drawing class with one of those piercings. Stopped conversation when he took the robe off. Had never seen one before. He had a small dick. But he was the one hot model we ever had.
