Some time during the late 1980's, I saw a picture of a PA (Prince Albert) in a BDSM magazine. I was instantly enthralled, and decided one day I would have one. As I live in a rural part of northern New York, and these were the days before the Internet, I had no contact with anyone who could advise me. But that picture made a lasting impression.

In 1990, I happened to be in a hardware store, and came across a rather unique tool called a star-wheel leather hole punch. It looked like a pair of pliers with a wheel on one of the jaws, which had different sized leather hold punches, which could be turned until the desired size hole would be made. I immediately remembered the PA picture I had seen, and quickly purchased my new tool. I don't remember what it cost, but I wanted it so bad, I probably would have paid $100 if necessary (it wasn't that much).
Several months went by, and I procrastinated using my new tool. I was both nervous and concerned about my intentions. But, one night, I smoked some pot, and had a brain storm. I would take a towel full of ice cubes, numb my penis head, and do the deed. After about a half hour I was numb and ready I thought. I selected the smallest hole punch, adjusted it, and placed the tool in what I thought was the right position. I squeezed the handles together, -then I squeezed really hard, but nothing happened! It wouldn't punch through.
I had another brain storm, got up, and got a whole bunch of rubber bands. I then repositioned the star-wheel hole punch, squeezed the handles as hard as I could, and began placing rubber bands around the handles, one after another after another. I can't remember how many rubber bands it took, but all of a sudden, I began bleeding like a stuck pig! It scared the hell out of me! I twisted the hole punch around to make sure it had cut through, and then removed all the rubber bands, and the punch. The ice cube filled towel became completely saturated with blood, and I began to wonder what the hell had I done now, but eventually I stopped bleeding. I cleaned my new PA hole with hydrogen peroxide thoroughly (god knows if hydrogen peroxide was the right thing to use; remember: I had no one to talk to or get advice from).
I was sore as hell for about three weeks. Every day I used hydrogen peroxide to clean my new PA hole, and inspected it carefully. It finally seemed to start healing, and as the hole was large enough, I really didn't need to worry about it healing closed!
A couple of months later I happened to be in Toronto, Canada, found a "kinky" store, and purchased the largest gauge, smallest diameter, bead ring they had. I quickly returned to my hotel room, and after considerable difficulty, was able to get the little bead between the ends of the ring. I learned several years later there is a special tool that makes this task much easier!
The outcome was: a bad experience. Perhaps if I had been circumcised it would have made a difference. The ring made me constantly aware of my PA, caused me to be on-again-off-again semi-aroused, and frequent pre-cum discharges occurred. Between the discharges, it would dry out, and the ring would stick to whatever it touched. This caused the ring to be pulled and twisted with almost any movement of my body, and caused much pain. I'm a pain freak anyway, so this didn't bother me as much as the blood, coming from the ever-increasing size of the PA hole! Eventually, the hole was so big, -it had torn in a direction towards the head of my penis, that I was concerned it would completely tear through. I took the ring out, and haven't worn it since.
Needless to say, I don't recommend this experience! The Internet, and sites like this one, will allow you and others to have a much better experience than I did, I hope. I would recommend a professional service provider, for health, safety, and consulting expertise reasons.
I am undaunted, however. One day in the not too distant future, I'm going to get circumcised, and get a reverse PA!! But I'll use a professional next time.
I appreciate the IAM site, and others like it, for the information provided, that may be used as guidance for others who, like me, can't wait to get a piercing. What is it about a PA, -or other kinds of genital piercing, that makes us want one? Who knows; who cares!
