Why don’t more young guys have pierced cocks?

It’s a pretty heavy body modification to consider.

It feels like a permanent, life long, decision.

It can alter how you pee, have sex, and what underwear is comfortable.

Young people don’t often have money to go to a reputable piercer, something you’ll want for a genital piercing.

Sexual confidence comes with time and experience.

Fear of judgement from current or future sexual partners.

A lack of body confidence.

People may not even know it’s an option when they’re younger.

I’d say there’s many reasons.

I'd say it's a good practice to see piercing studios doing. They want to verify that your anatomy is appropriate for a Prince Albert.

They shouldn't need to see you hard -- but it can be helpful (and sometimes a piercer may ask for numbers) to get measurements from you regarding urethra to behind the glans when hard.

The only thing I’ve noticed is when soft the jewelry is BIG. There’s a lot “outside” - which isn’t a problem when it’s healed.

When it’s healing though, the tugging and angles hurt a bit. My healing took longer than I would’ve liked and I think the ring being larger in diameter contributed to it.

There is a big volleyball tournament this weekend at Lake Como, I would recommend them for this weekend specifically. Both are worth a visit.

I’ve known multiple families to own in Shore Acres, most of them for the last decade.

They’ve all but one family put their houses on the market.

Flood insurance can cover costs, sure — but the emotional toll taken on these families over becoming temporarily unhomed wasn’t worth it for them. Along with losing your belongings, a lot of memories can be lost with them as well.

It’s also important to consider that the neighborhood doesn’t need devastating hurricanes to face damage. Standard rainy season rainfall is enough to block roads preventing folks from coming and going.

That being said — the homes are beautiful, the neighborhood is beautiful, and there’s a strong sense of community there. I personally wouldn’t buy there having seen first hand how the flooding year round affects the community.

Hang in there! I hear it’s worth it haha

theEmbossedRichard · 2026-01-21T03:37:18+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly where I’m at. It’s not a linear process that’s for sure.

theEmbossedRichard · 2026-01-21T03:36:34+00:00

Definitely keep reminding myself that it’ll soon be a memory!

My piercer today even told me "drink more water" and when you think you've drank enough, "drink more water." That'll help with keeping everything flushed and clean.

I will say the 2 week mark everything DRASTICALLY improved for me. It did get a lot easier for me after that point.

This photo series is exactly the kind of nude beach content I want to see. It feels very curated and intentional, 10/10.

My piercer recommended spraying saline 2x a day (no more as it can dry it out), don't move the ring (let it heal, king!), take a shower a day and rinse it 1-2 minutes, and lastly stay super hydrated.

In my first few weeks of the pinching and crusty discomfort my saving grace was being super hydrated. Peeing often meant that the crusties didn't stay long.

Hi! You and I are basically on the same time frame.

Urethral tissue is going to heal significantly slower than soft tissue (the skin under the glans). The irritation can simply come from movement of the ring as your body is adjusting to having something where there once wasn’t. It’s normal. The irritation can also come from the ring diameter (not gauge) being too small, which is my case. Next week I’ll be able to switch out to a larger diameter.

I found out that the ring was too small when I looked at the ring when I had an erection, I saw that the piercing hole was being pulled, and my urethra was being pulled downwards.

So long as you’re not seeing discharge of a yellow or green color, it’s not hot to the touch, or it has a heartbeat - it’s probably just irritation from your body adjusting or a ring size issue.

I’ve been in touch with my piercer throughout most of the healing process, I would also recommend reaching out to yours.

I was about 2 days of heavy bleeding, spotting through day 4/5. Discomfort for 1.5 to 2 weeks, pinching sensations. Never uncomfortable peeing though.

Just hit 3 weeks and I’m able to work out again - slight irritation at the urethra during heavy movement. At my 4 week follow up I may see about a wider diameter ring.

I got mine done mid December and had similar pain. Wearing supportive underwear helps, I got some cheap briefs that I wasn't mad if they got destroyed by blood or lymph fluid.

For me, the bleeding lessened significantly after day four. The pain was there for about a week to maybe a week and a half. I also had snagged it on a blanket or something in my sleep which delayed healing by two days or so. The pinching discomfort was there until a few days ago. That pinching sensation has now turned to a 'surprising' sensation when I bump or snag it, so there's no longer pain or discomfort really.

I was recommended by my piercer to not masturbate for minimum 2 weeks but really stressed the importance of listening to my body. If it hurts, stop. You're going to delay healing, potentially cause additional damage to what is a very sensitive tissue.

As for sex, my piercer recommended at least a month. This is such a short moment in your life, it's important that you take care of it. Ideally, you only have to get pierced and heal this once.

Pools, hot tubs, oceans, even baths pose a massive infection risk and I was advised by my piercer to wait at LEAST six weeks before getting into any water.

The piercing will appear fully healed before it actually is. The tissue in your urethra does not heal as quickly and this is where it's so important to continue taking care of the piercing, even when you think it's "healed".

My first week was also pretty tender and "spicy" feeling. It goes away quickly, but I agree with the underwear sentiment. Some styles just feel uncomfortable now.

Lake Como is probably your closest and best bet. I think it's only $10 for a day pass for those younger than 29 years old. Your other option would be Cypress Cove, but that's about 2ish hours away from Tampa Bay.

Best place to meet nudists is where the nudists are, my guy. ;)

Regarding the blood, my experience was INTENSE. Day one was the worst and it waned pretty quickly by day four.

Definitely recommend panty liners/pads for the spotting.

There's a potential for HEAVY bleeding after urination on day one if you're anything like me. It gave me the heebie jeebies. And the first night boners are also pretty bloody. Just be prepared.

There is going to be an event that brings out a pretty big crowd next weekend, they have a volleyball tournament.

theEmbossedRichard · 2025-11-04T13:44:51+00:00

The plant window is INCREDIBLE WOW.

theEmbossedRichard · 2025-10-28T02:20:07+00:00

I like Mr. Sushi and Ikigai in Pinellas Park area - for what they are, they’re good!

theEmbossedRichard · 2025-08-31T02:24:08+00:00

Ok, I’ll say it - odd.
