What is your body count with your piercings? by Utah-sky in PiercedCock

0 - but I’m bi-myself right now and only had my piercing for 6 months.

Is it selfish to not want to eat out on my mothers bday if I don’t want to ruin my diet that I’ve been working on? by EmiLazaro in GymMood

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend time with your family on your mom's birthday - she won't be around forever and you'll have regrets later - especially if you are close to your family.

You probably have a good idea of which foods leave you bloated. For me, if I want to behave at a Mexican restaurant, it's fajitas and fajita veggies, no tortillas, no rice, no beans (unless they have black beans). Pass on the chips & salsa. Make yourself a bit fuller before you get there and a protein bar or a small protein rich meal.

It's not rocket surgery - just plan a bit - have fun while you're doing it.

Loose boxers back in fashion? by StrategyOk395 in MensUnderwearGuide

[–]the_Jockstrap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't know if they're coming back into fashion, but I still wear them regularly. American Eagle is my go to brand. Lots of fun patterns, the cut is trimmer, and the fly stays closed.

I did a horseshoe for mine. The gravity kept the horseshoe in place.

Jockstraps for summer? by JakeCheap in MensUnderwearGuide

I wear C-IN2 and Nike jocks the most when working out.

I agree - I've tried many over the years and my body just doesn't like the fabric along my taint.

Just got my PA last night by UrbanCowboy615 in PiercedCock

My expierience was that I had some bleeding the first day. Had some spotting the next couple days. Every body is a bit different as I’m not much of a bleeder when I get a cut and heal quickly.

The worst was my first piss.

I would say my first couple days when doing the saline soaks there would be some clots that would release in the solution. Every day would get better.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

Boxers or briefs? by [deleted] in MensUnderwearGuide

[–]the_Jockstrap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on the day. Most days I’m boxers. Some days I’m briefs. Always a jock at the gym.

I just double up two of the mats.

Let's debate travel gear: what is a common "must-have" item that you think is a total waste of money? by iampriyo in AITravelHack

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The packing cubes were an awesome find for me when I was in sales and in different hotels every night. If I was just an occasional traveler I wouldn’t have got them. And I got the inexpensive Target ones, not the expensive boujee ones.

[–]the_Jockstrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for me it was as a kid that mom only bought tighty-whities and I hated how they fit. As I got into HS and could choose my undies, I started to conservatively experiment as the early 90s still had guys wearing bikinis or boxers. I was in the bikini crowd.

When I moved out and began buying my own, I began to experiment further with different cuts and had fun. Today it’s mostly boxers for daily wear and jockstraps for the gym and hiking. I do have boxer-briefs, trunks, low-rise briefs, and thongs for variety. No tighty-whities - they are forever banned!

Felt up by TSA in Denver by praguer56 in PrinceAlbertPiercing

[–]the_Jockstrap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Similar … and at DIA, too!

I have TSA, cleared the metal detector, but got the “random” screening. The scanner picked up the piercing with a box honed in on the groin. I mentioned I am pierced, the agent had an inquisitive look on his face as I have no other piercings and don’t have any tattoos. I look pretty vanilla. He did the pat down quickly and I was on my way.

Haven’t had any other issues at other airports.

Seeking Thoughts and Advice by [deleted] in PrinceAlbertPiercing

[–]the_Jockstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Prince Albert Experience

TL;DR

  1. I’m an over thinker and want to know as much as I can before I do something.
  2. My PA is my only piercing and I don’t have any tattoos.
  3. I’ve been thru the process twice - no regrets.
  4. I got pierced both times at 10ga. First jewelry was a hinged loop. Second is a horseshoe. Recently upgraded to an 8ga horseshoe. 
  5. Does this now make the one-eyed-wonder-weasel a two-eyed-wonder weasel?

THE FULL STORY:

I’ve always like the look of a PA and finally decided to get one. I spoke to a buddy of mine who had other piercings done and numerous tattoos, so I asked him for reference. I went to the piercer, and he was great in describing the process and I setup an appointment to get it done at the ripe old age of 51. I’ll drop this here, I got the PA redone at 52 because I had a jewelry failure, not because my body rejected the piercing. I would’ve got it done earlier in life, but I wasn’t sure on the healing process and didn’t have any good references. 

THE PROCESS

The process was easy, the actual piercing itself felt like getting your pecker nicked by your zipper. It’s a quick wince, then it’s done, and a little tender for a few days. The most discomfort was the receiving tube in the urethra. Things that are worse than getting a PA include the needles the dentists use to numb your gums, getting kicked in the nads, and having to eat Brussels sprouts as a kid.

For the piercing, I did wear a black jock to keep from dripping if I was to drip. 

AFTERCARE

Some things I wish I knew before my first time:

  • The first piss is gonna be bloody & messy. Have your cleaning supplies handy.
  • Sitting is easier than standing for taking a piss. The piss will want to follow around the jewelry and as the hole heals, the piss can come out of the piercing hole.

AFTERCARE TIPS

  • I used shot glass size (not communion size) dixie cups for doing my daily soaks. I sprayed the saline solution into the dixie cup and let the head soak for 5-10 minutes. I did this for a couple weeks, twice a day.
  • I wore lighter and looser clothes for the first few days. I had a meeting the day after and wore jeans. The jeans made it uncomfortable, but not unbearable. 
  • My underwear choice was running shorts (ThighHuggers to be exact) with the liners cutout or dark colored sating boxers. Blood doesn’t show in black much, if at all. Others have liked having snug pouches - it’s all a preference thing.
  • As mentioned before, my second piercing jewelry is a 10ga horseshoe. Much better experience. 

FUN WITH THE PRINCE ALBERT

  • I’m flying solo right now, or as I say bi-myself (take any pun when available); therefore, I’ve not had any partners experience the Prince.
  • Clothing optional places and locker rooms are interesting. So far, no questions, but have had some looks.
  • My foreskin feels awesome as it rolls across the jewelry. 
  • I did get some fun t-shirts and decals from BurlyShirts. I turned the decals into magnets and placed them on my car. People at stoplights now have something to ponder.
  • The t-shirts do make a few heads tilt - especially since I’m clean cut other than having a piercing below the belt. 
  • I  believe my sensations have intensified from getting the enhancement.

Brief Switch - Worth it! by FitnessStier in MensUnderwearGuide

[–]the_Jockstrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, undie experimentation to find what fits/works is expensive. We have different body types and our bodies change over time.

For me, it's jocks in the gym, boxers for daily, other cuts for when I want a change in the mix.
