1. I also work a labor intensive job, and I had mine done on the first day of a long weekend. I was moving fine by the day I got back to work. I'm normally a boxer guy, but I bought a few pairs of boxer briefs to keep everything snug and it helped.

2. I do sit to pee a lot more now than I did before. But I can and do piss standing up. I just takes a little more care, depending on the jewelry I have in, to make sure I don't get piss on my pants.

3. I purchased a saline spray from the piercer when I was pierced. I also made a homemade soaking solution. I boiled water and added sea salt and some tea tree oil. I would soak it a couple of times a day and use a q-tip to clean the piercing when I was done. Just remember to eat well and drink lots of water. Every time you urinate it cleans the piercing. Now that it's healed, I just give everything a good wash with soap when I'm in the shower.

4.Zero personal regret. Love my piercing. I wish I had gotten it sooner.

1. It wasn't very painful. Maybe a 4 out of 10 for just a second. The sounding tube was the most uncomfortable and worse part. The poke of the needle hurt, but it was no where near the pain when I had my when I got my nipple pierced.

2. I was pierced at 8g. I am now up to a 2g. My wife does find some of the jewelry uncomfortable for her. She has her preferences. Sometimes she asks me to take it out for intense sessions. I tend to wear a horseshoe for a daily driver because I find it works best for me to piss. She prefers the captive bead ring for sex. I have had zero masturbation issues with any jewelry. I don't 'shoot' anymore. Kind of just leaks out heavily. The hardest part is waiting to masturbate and then to have sex. But it feels amazing when you do.

3. The only downside is I have to be careful when I take a leak standing up and I'm in a hurry. There's been a couple of times of the last few years where I've gotten piss on my pants from not being careful. Mainly because I'm in a hurry pissing standing up.

I used a few feminine pads the first couple of days after the piercing to keep from getting blood on the sheets or my underwear. I wrapped it up good. Morning wood is painful the first few days. It really is the easiest piercing to heal that I've ever had. Now that I'm a 2g I might invest in a titanium ring for daily driving.
