What makes genital piercings so popular? Is it the pleasure and pain aspect? The aesthetics? Or something else entirely? Popcorn.dating wants to know everything about these unique body piercings, and author Sienna Saint-Cyr is willing to share.
Genital piercings – where and why
A lot goes into the choice to get pierced. Some piercings are popular because of their ability to increase pleasure or prolong orgasm and others are more about appearance. When deciding to get pierced, you should think about your reasons for doing so, and the type of piercing and jewellery you choose. Be sure to ask the piercer about any concerns you may have. A good piercer will be able to determine which option is best for you based on your desires and needs.
I find piercings hotter than hell. Just seeing them is a turn on for me whether in myself or someone else. So for those like me, any choice is going to cause pleasure and increase my libido.
For example, a Prince Albert piercing pleasure the partner far more than the person pierced. This type of piercing can have a ring or a fuller barbell or partially bent barbell. There are also pieces you can purchase to add onto these for increased sexual pleasure, particularly for the non-pierced person.
Other types of piercings include Scrotum Piercings, Jacob’s Ladder, and for women, a popular choice is the Clitoral Hood Piercing.
Pain and Pleasure
No matter if you prefer pain or pleasure, piercings are perfect for causing a sensation. For example, a Prince Albert or Jacob’s Ladder may please both parties aesthetically, but as far as physical pleasure goes, the person being fucked is going to enjoy it most.
Women tend to get the better end of the bargain no matter what. If she has a male partner that’s pierced, she gains more from that experience, and if she has a Clitoral Hood Piercing, she gets the pierced hood benefits as well! The hood piercings, PA, and Jacob’s Ladder can all increase the length and strength of her orgasm.

Not all women enjoy feeling metal down under, so this is something to discuss with your partner. As far as popularity, though, these options rank high due to their ability to increase pleasure.
The Scrotum Piercing can also do this for men. Once it’s healed, weights can be hung from a ring, and that can prolong orgasm or increase the intensity of the orgasm for the man. This is one of the few male piercings that will affect the man’s pleasure especially.
Another aspect to the Scrotum Piercing is that when pulled on, it can also cause pain. Any piercing can cause pain as you're pulling on metal under the skin, but some are safer to do so with because of their size, placement, and depth. You’d never want to tug on a piercing that is shallow as you might pull it right through the skin.
For many (like me), pain equals pleasure. So having piercings that can be played with and tugged on, pushed to their limits, is fantastic. The mental aspect of someone pulling on my piercing and the physical discomfort leading to pain is something I crave.
Endorphins for the WIN!
Part of what makes the pain so pleasurable for me is that I love the endorphin release that goes with it. Getting the genital piercing causes one such release. Then, once healed, pulling and manipulating something so tender can also cause this endorphin release.
Endorphins interfere with the receptors in our brains and produce a feeling of euphoria. Not only can this endorphin release decrease pain, but it can also help with mood. The orgasm itself can release oxytocin (aka the happy hormone). This is why piercings and combining pain and pleasure can leave such a strong impact on folks.
Staying safe and choosing the right piercing
As with everything sex based, safety is vital. Talk to others and find out what they like and don’t like, and why. Also, be sure to ask about healing times. My nipple piercings were supposed to heal after four months, and it’s been well over a year, and they still aren’t healed all the way. I’m not taking them out! No way! But this has affected my ability to enjoy my nipples how I’d like to. Had I known how long it’d take, I may have chosen another piercing. In my opinion, unique body piercings will always be a win.
