Piercing "Prince Albert"

"Prince Albert", most likely, the most popular of all male genital piercings. Most people find him the most sexually attractive. But the reason is also that the healing process is faster than in other cases. The ring extends along the lower side of the head from the urethra (where the head connects to the stem of the penis). In a man with circumcision, he can be made directly through the center of the bridle. This is a relatively safe piercing.

"Prince Albert" - a puncture, named after the wife of Queen Victoria of Britain . He was popularized in the 1970s by Richard Simonton (better known under the pseudonym Doug Malloy) - a Hollywood businessman who was extremely interested in the piercing theme.

In his brochure on the history of modification of the genitals, which became a bestseller, he tells several fictional stories, in particular, one urban legend that Prince Albert had a very large penis, so he tried to hide it in tight pants on the eve of his wedding.

In that era men preferred to wear very tight pants. To the penis did not create an unpleasant bulge in them, it had to be laid in a certain way. To do this, some of them allegedly pierced it and a special ring attached to the inside of the trousers. Only this style was called "drezing ring". However, later in honor of the wife of the Queen of England began to be called many fashion accessories of that time (for example, the tie knot "Prince Albert").

In fact, there is no historical evidence for the allegations of Malloy. Moreover, in Victorian erotic fiction, including the sincere memoirs of the courtesan of Cora Pearl or the journalist Frank Harris (his too overtly multi-volume works "My Life and Loves" were banned in many countries of the world), there are no references to the piercing of the genitals.

We can assume that the flesh of the penis, fastened with a ring, resembles a double-breasted coat, also known as "Prince Albert", hence the name. Like most other species, this puncture for jewelry has its roots in practice developed in gay communities in the twentieth century, and became widely known when piercing generally began to appear in popular culture in the late 1970s.

Many owners of the "PA" say that it is very effective during sex, strongly stimulates both partners. Although the ring can cause and discomfort in women (if it comes into contact with the cervix).

Ornaments characteristic of this species, except for a ring with a ball-clasp, include a curved bar, a straight bar, the Prince's Wand.

Healing after puncture occurs between four and six months. At first, swelling and minor inflammation may occur. In extremely rare cases, the piercing "Prince Albert" leads to local infections. The fact is that even the owner's own urine actually serves as a healing agent. But in any case, certain hygiene procedures will not be superfluous at all. It is recommended daily washing of the penis with water with sea salt or soap, after which this area should be thoroughly dried. At first, you will have to suffer some discomfort in the place where the ornament comes in contact with the foreskin and rubs it.
