P.S. to my October 1999

Well, my experience, which is already posted here and it took place at the end of October, 1999. At that time, I projected my future desire for a 6 gauge PA; I wore the original 10 ga., 7/8" circular barbell for 10 months.

I ordered a 6 gauge, 1" ring through Dungeon Bear Leather at the Ramrod in Ft. L. Though there were some delays in waiting for my 6 gauge ring to come in; this proved good, for it allowed for more healing, if not widening time, and was a test of my patience, if not maturity.

Finally, it arrived; my 1 inch, 6 gauge P A ring, with 1/4" balls! I had little doubt that it would go right in, and I was right; upon arriving at home, I soaked it in alcohol, and without lube, inserted it through my piss-hole, and the other end simply peeked out of the piercing hole underneath. On went the 1/4" ball, and the weight and appearance of it were just great". By the way, I am wearing it right now as I write! Even sent a photo of it to Jock-Dad whose website is well known-he thought it looked great, and said he would post the photo.

Recently, I decided I would go to a 4 gauge, despite my original belief that the 6 ga. was more than enough, given my dick-head size. Not true......I ordered the 4 ga, (3/4") circular barbell with 1/4" balls this time from BME's source, and voila!, much to my pleasant surprise-this arrived within 4 days

from California!

I couldn't wait to tear open the package, soak the ring in alcohol, dip it in lube, and prepare to put it through....and what do you know........it went right through, and I quickly screwed down the ball-and my frequented and preferred appendage was "off and running!" It feels absolutely normal and part of my anatomy-not a bad idea, this 3/4" smaller diameter, and there is no problem with its pinching in times of wood!

What's more, the weight of it is quite noticeable at times, and it feels so good down there when my guy is bouncing around in the nude! Urinating is better controlled with this one, by the way! A couple of my fellow workers who are no strangers to piercings (tongue, ear, eyebrow, etc. seem to shrink in horror if not feigned wonderment, at the fact that I sport this wonderful appliance. They wanted to know if in the morning, when I am washing in the bathroom-"does it clink or clank against the porcelin on the bathroom sink?" -Actually, it really does!!!! And when I confirmed this, they broke out into laughter at my candor and what they know was likely.

I have since befriended a nice guy from Cocoa Beach, Fla., who as time went on in our relationship became obsessed with what he saw when he viewed my equipment. That is the same reaction I had, when I saw a thick P A for the first time! Well, last week, he drove the 3 hours to the Ft. L. area, and having had an appointment, we both headed over to Leather

Werks in Wilton Manors for a "BearMan Special" for my friend. The new facility is beautifully laid out and is a far cry from the warehouse it originally was when I was there in October-lots of leather items-(I am not particularly a leather afficianado).

I must admit, though, beautifully crafted-those single-strapped jockstraps-Wow!, not to mention other kinds of items best appreciated by men of my persuasion!

My friend, with trepidation, laid on the leather table, presented his "best man" and BearMan proceeded to do the thing he is so famous for.

The ring my friend picked was a 1 inch, 8 ga. captured ball ring, (BearMan elected to go with a wider pierce, and believe me, even a 1 inch diameter was questionable for that hunk of equipment it was to go through! It all went quietly, except for some necessary bravery on my friend's part when the needle pierced-I grasped his hand firmly, and reassured him, and with a few deep breaths, the deed was done. Much perspiration flowed, a tensing of muscles, a quick yelp, a little blood, and the masterpiece was finished! Today, a week later, my friend is happy with the jewelry, is still slightly sore (he drives a cement truck), and has already seen many woodies and experienced some "nut-popping", as he puts it. I told him I can't wait until it fully heals, and we can link up and have a "tug-of-war". For some reason, this was not exactly funny to him-particulary at this time!

So......this is the post-script to my original narrative, and I can say that I am now quite content with what is, and I can proudly state, I continue to feel so extra special a man, wearing this jewelry down there....thanks, BearMan, and you too, BME!
