Uvula Piercings

Doing some homework for a cross sectional anatomy class and I came across uvula piercings while reading up on the uvula. What on earth would possess someone to get that part of them pierced?

Google image search yields a few images of people’s pierced uvulas.

I dunno. I think I’d immediately become half bulimic if I had a uvula piercing (no binging, lots of purging).

It had to happen.

Twenty years ago, we joked about uvula piercings as an escalation of the “running out of things to pierce” mentality.

So, a couple years later, some goofball actually started piercing uvulas. What’s next? Epiglottis piercings? Kidney piercings?

People with a sharp eye for detail are getting their eyelids pierced so that can’t be joked about.

How about piercing the adams apple with a juice harp? I’m sure there are some noteworthy stories there if anyone is willing to take a stab at it.

From the BME entry on this:

Uvula Piercing originator Jon Cobb goes on to say:

Yeah, my mind frequently makes me throw up, too.

Folks with tongue piercings sometimes say it makes their oral sex more entertaining. I suppose a person who has suppressed the gag reflex enough to do deep fellatio would say the same thing about uvula jewelry. That is, a fella with his twanger down a gullet might appreciate the added sensation of a bejeweled uvula dragging across his corona. :eek:

Apparently, you can get your brain pierced: afapoker2021-demo casino slots-slot best 188

I’m still waiting for a full-on Frankenstein piercing. 1/2" steel bar right through the center of mass, man.

Elective colostomy: The last frontier in body modification.

Hmmm. That would explain a lot, wouldn’t it?

Is that for folks who want to save their anuses for recreational use only?

…and presumably collect all their farts (as well as the other bit of business) in a plastic bag?

Let’s not give people ideas.

I dunno, something about uvula piercings just sticks in my craw.

I never really understood that. I’ve received oral sex from a couple of girls who had tongue piercings and both times it felt bad. There was this weird kind of pinching sensation… not painful, but certainly not comfortable.

Nice to know that it’s BS. It seemed like a post-facto rationalization to me.

I dunno. I thought it was fantastic, although that might have just been technique. But she did it so she’d have something to fidget with, not to enhance BJs.

I had a friend back when I worked for a Christian camp who got in trouble for her tongue piercing because the only reason the (apparently not as conservative as I thought) Camp Directer could think of getting one was to improve sex. I have no idea if the rumor is true or not, and it’s not why my friend got it (or at least that’s what she said.)

He must have seen Pulp Fiction.

Boris Karloff rules.

A girl I know actually wanted to get her uvula pierced, and her piercer refused to do it on the grounds that he had never done one before, didn’t think it was a good idea, had no idea what kind of effects it might have, and could not in good conscience pierce it for her. And she still threw a fit over his refusal. (Note: To date, her uvula is not yet pierced.)

I have never understood the fascination with tongue piercings improving oral sex. Apparently a lot of people believe that the “cool metal” will create some kind of earth-shatteringly good feeling, but given that my mouth is a pretty warm place, when I had my tongue pierced, the metal was always about the same temperature as the rest of the inside of my mouth. But then, I had my tongue frenulum pierced, which is a slightly different case.

I’ve met Jon Cobb, the man who pioneered the uvula piercing. He’s pretty much insane, I feel I can say that with confidence.
