Hi there,

I'd like to tell you about my experience of piercing my own nipple. This happened when I was a mature 55 year old male with a good heterosexual appetite.

My nipples have always been sensitive, and I love putting clamps on them. I also love my wife playing with them when we have sex.

In my early twenties, I even used clothes pins with sewing needles pushed through them to clamp on my nipples. This created fantastic feelings. I also love wrapping a cord around them and hanging weights on them. In fact anything to do with Bondage.

Some time before I decided to get my nipple pierced, I started looking on the Internet, and found plenty of interesting pictures and write-ups about piercing. This increased my interest in a proper piercing, and I decided that I would "go for it".

After looking on the Internet, I found a supplier of a "Do-It-Yourself" piercing kit from a supplier in the USA, which I ordered. This arrived just after my wife went on a five week visit to relatives overseas.

On opening the kit, I found that the packer had accidentally stapled the pack together through the sealed alcohol swab, so that this had dried up. Not to be frustrated, I collected some Ethanol (Pure alcohol) and cotton wool to use as a replacement.

Warning. This may not be a good idea, but it was all that I had available at the time, and it seemed to work for me.

The kit consisted of this alcohol swab, a needle, a clamp and a 1.6 mm x 13 mm CBR as well as instructions and aftercare instructions.

Next question was how to do it on my own.

After thinking about this for some time, I set the needle up in a vice, horizontal and pointing to the right, at about nipple height when I was kneeling on the ground.

Next I took a small hammer and a chunk of expanded polystyrene (broken off from the packing around a Video Player or Computer Monitor) to help.

Next I sterilised the area by pouring the alcohol over the nipple and clamp, and then swabbed the area again with cotton wool, and let the area dry naturally by evaporation.

I then clamped my left nipple, and this set the endorphines racing. Next I kneeled on the ground next to the needle and gently let my left nipple rest against the point of the needle.

Next, I took the polystyrene chunk (about 25 mm cube) and placed this on the right side of my nipple (opposite the needle). I was then ready to start. Then, I hit the polystyrene chunk sharply with the hammer, and this forced the needle very quickly through the nipple, in fact so quickly that I didn't feel any pain above the ache of the clamp.

The next move was to fit the end of the ring into the needle and draw the ring through the nipple. This was a bit painful as the ring was so small and my nipple is quite wide naturally (about 10 mm wide), but not extremely painful. It was however quite difficult as my hands were shaking so much by then.

After this I fitted the ball in place and Job Done.

For after-care, I regularly bathed it in a weak antiseptic (TCP) solution (about twice a day for the first week), and after that I was able to remove the ring and squirt a weak TCP solution through the hole with a syringe then replace the ring. I did this daily for the next couple of weeks, and after that it seemed fine.

Since then (and that was about one year ago now), I have increased the size of the ring that I have in it. First to a 2.0 mm, then through a 2.5 and 3.0 mm to a 4.0 mm and I now wear a 5 mm section x 28 mm diameter ring, and the sensation when I go up and down stairs is something fantastic. The ring "jiggles" up and down.

I have also suspended weights on my pierced nipple. To date, the maximum weight that I have hung on it is 10 Kg (about 22 lbs), but only for a few seconds as the pain is quite something.

The next project will be to deal with the other nipple. I still have the needle, stored in alcohol, and a good collection of different rings. Next time, I will probably use a barbell initially, as I think this will be easier to insert. I guess that being right handed, the right nipple will be a bit more difficult to do, as I can't get my arm in a good position to take an accurate swing at the polystyrene chunk.

I guess that will take place some time in the next few months.

I hope eventually that I can also persuade my wife to get her nipples pierced also. She seems dead set against piercing, but does not seem to mind me having my nipples pierced.
