My Apadravya - Warning - An "Apadravya" is a male genitalia piercing.

Ok, first and foremost - I am big into body modification. To me (and many others), body modification is an art form, which is why I am posting it here in The Artists Corner. I am fully expecting those of you who view this thread to conduct yourselves in a MATURE manner - as the body art I am going to be showing off is a genital piercing. It is not porn, erotic, or anything of the like.

Those who cannot conduct themselves in a mature manner best leave now. Inappropriate posts in this thread will result in the post being deleted, and the user being BANNED!!

So onward... This is my Apadravya... I originally had it pierced @ an 8 gauge. The pic shown was the day after I stretched it up to a 6.

Jewelry Specifics
Material used: Implant grade stainless steel
Gauge shown in picture: 6
Post length: 1.25"
Ball size: 1/4"
Total length of the jewelry: 1.75"

One final reminder - this is not porn - it is art. Those who cannot be mature about this need not reply!!!

 

Sticking an 8 gauge needle through any part of your body is going to hurt. It didn't hurt as bad as I thought it was going to, though... And that tends to be what I hear most frequently when I meet other people with the same piercing..

EDIT: @ imcherokeeangel - they do that for the Frenums (the skin right below the underside of the head). Mine goes completely through the center of the head, angled so the top is pointing towards me, and the bottom pointing away.

It did hurt, but not as bad as I imagined it would... And it only lasted a few seconds...

 

The genitalia are often the cleanest part of your body (assuming you have good hygiene). Apadravya/Ampallang piercings tend to not get infected as much, as they go through the urethra, and get a sterile bath every time you take a piss.

It makes more un-pleasant feelings and higher chance of infection?? Where'd you get that info. Mine's never given me anything but good feelings (and the ladies I've been with since have all seemed to enjoy it)... And like I said above, they get infected less often than other piercings - due to the sterile urine bath they get when you pee.

Haha, nice. I haven't had any complaints as of yet. Big turn on according to a lot of my lady friends.

 

I pee standing up. If I push on the top ball hard enough, I can pee straight down, lol. The only problem I get is a little extra dribble here and there. So I just sorta give it a lil extra shake... Takes care of that

 

I came across a piercing I've never seen/heard of before, that I want to get called the Apadydoe:

Instead of having to get it done through a crooked Apadravya, I can just get the 2 Dydoes, and run both of them through my current Apadravya opening (I'd just have to use 2 smaller gauges, so they'll both fit through the same hole )... OoOOOooo the possibilities

Hahaha... Nah man, not mutilated... YET!! LoL... I'm planning on getting a few in that area. Not sure exactly which, though.

Coming from you, I take that as a compliment

I'm getting my tongue done at a 6-8 as soon as I can scrounge up a little cash

 

Not worried at all. You have to stretch your skin to about 1/2" before it loses its elasticity (Varies depending on the person, and how rapidly they stretched). Anything 0 gauge or under will heal up no problem - so long as it was stretched properly. The tissue on that part of your body is extremely elastic, and it tends to close quickly if the piercing is removed (much like your tongue). I take it out every once in a while to do a thorough cleaning, and sometimes it's a little tough getting it back in.

 

Alrighty... First and foremost, make sure you really want them. A lot of women don't like Ampallangs. They say they are uncomfortable during sex. Some like them, but the general consensus seems to be that they're not all that comfortable for her during intercourse.

The Apadravya is more favored by women, mostly due to the added G-Spot & clitoral stimulation. But again, it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you are big to begin with, it can really stretch a girl out, and may be a lil much for some. MOST girls seem to like it though. I haven't had any complaints as of yet.

Healing time for the above 2 vary depending on the person. I was able to masturbate (though only very gently, no contact with the head or the piercing - shaft only) after about a week. The first orgasm kinda hurt a little, but in a good way. Mine was ready for sex after about 3 and a half to 4 weeks. Everyone is different, however. Some of us heal faster than others.

The Ampallang is typically a bigger piercing than the Apadravya, so it will hurt slightly more. I'm not going to say they don't hurt - because they do. Any time you shove a needle that big, through that much skin, you're going to feel it. For me the worst pain was the 2nd half (they pierce from the bottom up), due to the thicker skin on the top of your penis. There is a slight delay between the first half and the 2nd half as the needle goes through the urethra. Overall, though, they don't hurt as bad as most people seem to think. I'm actually thinking about getting another [smaller] one behind the ridge (a "deep-shaft" Apadravya).

Frenums don't hurt to get done, but they suck when they're healing. They get snagged a lot. Not particularly my favorite (I used to have 2, but they were crooked so I took them out).
