In ancient times, many nations had a tradition of decorating various intimate places with piercings. Today, intimate area piercing has again become a very common procedure, which is especially popular with representatives of various informal youth movements.

Intimate piercings can be divided into male and female, as well as nipple piercings and genital piercings.

Male genital piercing
Despite the fact that men tend to pay much more attention to their genitals compared to women, intimate piercing is less common among them due to physiological characteristics. Most often, men pierce the head of the penis or the skin on the scrotum, after which an intimate piercing ring or other special jewelry is inserted there.

A man’s nipples are rarely pierced, and in most cases they insert small earrings for intimate piercings or the so-called “studs”, which are analogous to ordinary earrings for the ears.

Intimate female piercing
Intimate area piercings are most popular among women who work in the sex industry, as various jewelry in intimate places allows them to look more seductive and different from most of their competitors. However, recently, many ordinary women have also paid attention to such a way of decorating their bodies as intimate piercing.

The simplest option is to pierce the nipples and then insert earrings into them for intimate piercing. Such jewelry can be of the most incredible forms: from classic rings to multi-level designs with various chains and other hanging elements.
Genital intimate piercing in women has not only a decorative function, but also allows you to achieve a significant increase in pleasant sensations during intimacy due to acupressure on certain erogenous zones. So, the most common type of such piercing is piercing the clitoris in a variety of variations. Piercing of the external and internal labia and pubis is also very popular.
Today you can pick up a variety of women’s jewelry for intimate piercing, as closely as possible corresponding to a particular type of piercing and the structure of the genital organs, as well as allowing you to emphasize individuality.

How do they do intimate piercing?
To avoid the appearance of various unpleasant consequences of intimate piercing in the form of inflammation, suppuration and infection of the puncture site, it should be done exclusively in specialized medical or cosmetic clinics.

A prerequisite for successful piercing of intimate areas is the availability of modern equipment in a particular clinic, which is sterilized after each client. It is even better if disposable sterile needles are used for intimate piercing, however, the cost of the procedure in this case increases significantly.

Proper care of intimate piercing is very important, including:

conducting regular personal hygiene;
treatment of the puncture site with special disinfecting solutions several times a day;
application of antiseptic creams and ointments;
temporary abstinence from love pleasures, visiting the pool and sauna;
wearing jewelry made of high quality metals.
Having decided to make yourself a piercing of intimate areas, you should always remember the possibility of individual intolerance to the presence of any extraneous jewelry in the area of ​​intimate areas. So, such a piercing is not recommended for those who are characterized by increased sensitivity of the skin and mucous membranes, a tendency to form keloid scars and various inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system.
