Since I had my Prince Albert piercing done last year, I have had a desire to get an apadravya. I spent quite some time reading up on the benefits of this piercing, both for my partner, and myself. It seemed though, that everytime I went to the piercing studio, I decided on getting something else done instead.

I timed the piercing to coincide with a small meeting of fellow Iam'ers in Brighton. I thought it would be fun to get my apadravya done on the same day that Don, Noot and BigHippy were getting stabbed themselves.
When the day arrived, Noot and I were waiting at Brighton railway station for the other two to arrive. BigHippy showed up first, and then Don, whose train, in the tradition of the British public transport system, was running late.
We headed off to Perforations (Preston Street, Brighton) and after a short wait in the bar next door, went downstairs with Dom (the very same man who had pierced my PA for me). I was the first to be pierced and, after disrobing, I jumped up onto the couch. One of my concerns was that I might have to lose my PA. The normal way that Perforations perform this piercing is to follow an established Prince Albert piercing through to the urethra, and then pierce through to the other side of the penis to create the apadravya. I really didn't want this to be the case for me and I had already discussed the possibility of having the Apadravya done on the other side of my frenum.
So the first thing that had to be done was to check whether my urethra had enough room to fit both the PA and the Apadravya in it. After a brief inspection, Dom was sure that it could be done. I had already decided to have Xylocaine for the pierce. I didn't want to jump at all during the pierce, and was sure that if I did that the placement might be affected. Having an audience for the piercing didn't bother me. I guess that Noot and I take seeing a piercer in action for granted. Other people though, do not have the opportunity to witness any piercings other than those performed upon themselves.
After cleaning the area to be pierced, Dom sprayed a cotton bud with anaesthetic and pushed it down into my urethra. The sensation was not pleasant. I could feel my penis grow very hot and it started to sting a great deal. Xylocaine was also sprayed onto my glans, and again, it wasn't very nice. After what seemed like an eternity, but in reality I suppose it can only have been a few seconds, I could feel the numbness spreading through my penis. Now for the piercing.
Dom had already removed the jewelry from my PA and set about clamping the head of my dick. As always I was shown the needle and clamps being opened from the sterile packaging. Then Dom set to work. I could feel the pressure of the clamps and a dull sense of the needle resting against my penis. As the needle entered I could feel the tissue parting slightly, but of course there was no pain. As it exited I saw no blood. I was very surprised as I had heard and read that an apadravya was a real geyser! The barbell was inserted and the ball screwed on. A smaller gauge ring was put into my PA to allow room for any swelling. Again Dom and I had already spoken about this, and I was happier with the thought that my already bruised urethra wouldn't be irritated further by a heavy piece of jewellery. A quick cleanup and I was all done. I left the others to their piercings and went upstairs to get a drink.
I remembered the sensation of pissing razors after my pa, and I was determined to use the lavatory for the first time before the anaesthetic wore off completely. I waited for the others to come upstairs, all the while slugging back a bottle of Coke. Then I used the lavatory. The stinging was definitely numbed by the Xylocaine, and I was relieved that I had been able to pass water and flush out any coagulated blood from my urethra before it had a chance to accumulate. Then we all went to get something to eat.
That night I worked the night shift. Using the lavatory here was an entirely different experience. My penis felt bruised and pretty sore, and passing water was a mind over matter thing. About two days after the pierce I finally stopped wincing every time I emptied my bladder.
My apadravya is now four days old and I have noticed an effect on my erectile state. I wake up with a "morning glory" and it takes a few minutes to subside. This is obviously a little awkward when you are trying to dress yourself. Another aspect is the sheer intensity of my arousal. Some of this must be related to the bruising, but will this continue after the soreness has gone?
So there you have it; my apadravya. Now I just need to use it to see what effect it has on Noot and myself....
