Okay, so, let’s talk about this… Prince Albert thing. I know, the name sounds fancy, right? Trust me, the process isn’t exactly a royal treatment, but hey, no pain, no gain, as they say.
It all started with a dare, honestly. A buddy of mine was talking big about body mods, and I was like, “Yeah, I’ve thought about it.” Then the challenge was thrown down. So, I started doing some research. Lots of Googling, reading forums – the usual stuff. I wanted to know what I was getting into.
First things first, finding a reputable piercer. This is crucial. You don’t want some back-alley chop shop situation going on down there. I asked around, checked reviews, and finally settled on a place that seemed legit. The guy was experienced, clean, and didn’t give me any weird vibes.
The day of, I was a nervous wreck. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t be? I made sure to eat a good meal beforehand – you don’t want to be lightheaded when someone’s sticking a needle through your junk. I also took a shower and trimmed the hedges, if you know what I mean.
At the shop, the piercer walked me through the whole process again, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable. He marked the spot, sterilized everything, and then… bam! It was quick, a sharp sting, but over before I knew it. Honestly, the anticipation was worse than the actual piercing.
He inserted the jewelry – a curved barbell – and then explained the aftercare. Saline soaks twice a day, loose clothing, and no fooling around for a while. Got it? Got it.
The first few days were a little sore, but nothing unbearable. I religiously followed the aftercare instructions. Saline soaks became my new best friend. I avoided tight underwear and kept things clean and dry.
Healing took a few months, maybe four or five. During that time, I had to be extra careful. No swimming, no hot tubs, and definitely no getting frisky. It was tough, but I didn’t want to risk infection.
Now, months later, it’s fully healed and doing great. I’m happy with it. It adds a little something extra, you know? My partner likes it, and that’s what really matters. Was it worth the initial pain and hassle? Yeah, I think so.
But, I’m not saying everyone should run out and get one. It’s a personal decision. Do your research, find a good piercer, and be prepared for the aftercare. If you’re not willing to put in the effort, it’s probably not for you.
- Find a reputable piercer. Seriously, this is key.
- Be prepared for some pain. It’s not unbearable, but it’s not ticklish either.
- Follow the aftercare instructions religiously. Saline soaks are your friend.
- Be patient. Healing takes time.
So, that’s my Prince Albert story. Take it or leave it. Just remember, it’s your body, your choice. Do what makes you happy.
