If it’s not indecent to ask…was that not extremely painful to get? Like isn’t the whole point of the clit to be almost entirely nerve endings?
Then once you have it…is it more pleasurable to be touched there? Is there a slight and constant pleasurable tingle? Or if you shift your hips just right it gives you a rush? Or does it just make simulation more intense? Or is it purely decoration?
It wasn’t that bad to get! The piecing is just through the hood, not the actual clit so really just going through a thin membrane. It was less painful and faster to heal than my helix (upper ear) piercing.
For me it definitely adds to the sensations. And also, though not as frequently when I first got it, it came sometimes self-stimulate if that makes sense?
Basically it sits so that the bottom ball of the piercing rests on top of the clit.
If you want one you should definitely go for it! Just make sure you go to a reputable piercer, and if they pull out clamps run because they aren’t needed.
Not necessarily. My first VCH wasn’t placed correctly so I had it redone. The second piercer is highly regarded in the piercing community and does stellar work. He used a clamp and got my VCH placed exactly perfect, so it’s functional as well as pretty. My sex life dramatically improved after that second piercing.
An, mine did it very nicely without clamps, and when I was researching it at the time the overwhelming advice was that clamps shouldn’t be necessary if they knew what they were doing.
I’m very glad that it wasn’t the case for you though!
I feel like using clamps would be dependant on the anatomy of the client. If there's folds on the hood, it might be harder to place it correctly without clamps
Doesn’t hurt, and I can remove it any time, with the caveat that it closes up fast. I’ve had my piercing for more than 5 years and I still only get a couple of hours to put my jewelry back in before the hole starts shrinking pretty bad. I’ve had to use tapers to reinstall it once or twice.
You’d be surprised, after the first couple days you get used to it and can ignore it especially with underwear and pants holding things close and preventing movement. But if you want you can basically get a hands free arrival with the right muscle movements/contractions.
I had to take my helix piercings out. As a dude in the trades they just never healed as they were constantly being jostled or snagged. Lasted about 6 months until I was like "you know what? Maybe the punk rock/goth aesthetic isn't the safest around a bunch of heat, motors, belts, fans, and electricity" and took out all of my piercings lol. This was a few years ago and now I look like a normal almost 40 year old dude and people who didn't know me prior are shocked when they see older pics of me.
Oh gotcha. My second earlobes are a massive PITA if I remove them. I’ve had to re-pierce at home too many times. It’s on my list to visit a decent tattoo shop and see if they can fix for me.
There is only one APP certified piercer near me (I’m in a pretty rural area and they were about an hour away) so that is who I went to. But any certified piercer should be able to do it.
My upper helix took almost a year to heal but the second piercing on earlobes were the worst. If you don't mind me asking, how long does a clit piercing take to heal? Are you able to swap it for non-metallic ones in case of a MRI?
I'm very late to the thread so apologies if you have answered it already.
It took about 6 weeks to heal, it was very fast and easy to care for.
You can swap for a non-metallic one, but it is very hard to take out. Mine is med-grade titanium so the only time I had an MRI with it they just let me keep it in.
The few times I have changed it I have gone back to the piercer and had her do it.
6 weeks is fast, wow! I thought it would take longer given the location, friction against underwear etc. Our bodies are truly fascinating. I had a whole plan of getting my daith or maybe get two more helix piercings. However, all that went out the window when I got the first one and the pain was something else.
The clitoral hood is closer to the foreskin on a penis, so while I'm sure it would be painful, it wouldn't be anywhere near as painful as a piercing through the clitoris.
Also excuse my limited knowledge but do people even get piercings though the clitoris? Doesn't it destory the nerve endings and the flicking the ol' bean just don't work as well?
I'm part of an extreme body mod group, I've heard of a couple of women who have pierced their clitoris and a few gentlemen who bisected their penis. So yeah people do it but they probably shouldn't.
I also have a VCH and love anonymously oversharing on the internet lmao
It has 100% improved sex for me. Because of the jewelry, when things are moving around while doing the deed, it just is able to stimulate parts of my clit that otherwise couldn’t be accessed. Even just the slight motion has improved every single sex position and I can now orgasm from any position when I previously wasn’t able to. A big part of this I’m sure is mental because I’m much more consciously thinking about how the area feels.
That being said, as with all functional piercings, your mileage may vary depending on your anatomy and the degree to which you get desensitized to things. I have both nipples pierced and one got a huge increase in sensation and the other…she’s just kind of there lol
EDIT: To answer your question about it being painful to get, yes it was. In the instant of the needle going through, it was for sure my most painful piercing (I have 20 for reference). However, there was no aching or tenderness that I had with every other piercing. I’d compare it to someone flicking your ear hard. Hurts in the moment, but doesn’t really leave any throbbing. If for some reason I had to, I’d much rather get my VCH redone than my tongue for comparison.
