About six months ago, my boyfriend and I watched a porn movie together, and the women in the movie had a vertical clitoral hood piercing. I found it very hot and exciting in a weird way, and I mentioned to my boyfriend that I thought it was hot, and that's when I began thinking about getting my clitoral hood pierced. Just like my nipple, he convinced me to do it. I did some research online, came across some horror stories, but decided to go for it anyway. We went to Primal Urge, in New Hope, PA, knowing how clean it was, and how professional and good their staff is from getting other piercings there. As we were driving, I was freaking out, I decided if I got there and couldn't do it because of nerves or embarrassment, I would just get the top of my belly button pierced again because I had taken it out about 2 years earlier.

She also explained that she wouldn't pierce it vertically because it's more difficult to clean, so I settled for horizontal. I have no pain tolerance; I hyperventilate when I get shots at the doctor, so I was pretty nervous about the whole experience.
When we went upstairs, I told her how me and Bill's first date was to get my nipple pierced, and she talked to me, which made me much more comfortable and relaxed. She made me get on the table, which had stirrups and reminded me of the gynecologist's office. I watched her set everything up, and take all the equipment out of those sterile little bags. She explained to me that she was going to put some stuff on to clean it, and then she felt around and asked me if that was my "spot," meaning my clit, so the piercing could rest on it, she then clamped it, counted to three and pierced it. No big deal, it was perfect, and definitely not as painful as I thought it would be, or as painful as my nipple. She gave me a special solution to clean it with, and bacatracian to put on it. I couldn't have sex for 2 weeks, but trust me, it was worth the wait. Everything healed very quickly and nicely, because there is a lot of blood circulation in that region of your body.
Bill has his tongue pierced and my new favorite sound is the clicking of the two piercings!! It becomes sore after a rough night, or if I have sex a few times in a day, or a few days in a row. It actually teared a little bit, but I just started cleaning it again, and being gentle, I didn't have sex for a few days, and it healed itself fine. I didn't have any problems with bleeding, but I am a strong believer in if you take the time to research the piercer and the place where you are going to get pierced, and make sure it is clean and sterile salon and the piercers have the certifications and experience for the piercing, that you will have a pleasant experience with any piercing.
I remember sitting in a pizza place right after I got the piercing, and Bill asked me how it felt, and the only word I could describe it at the moment, was weird, because it wasn't painful, just a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, almost pleasurable, which was a little weird. It didn't hurt like my belly button, I guess that is because of the location and you are constantly moving, and it definitely didn't hurt like my nipple, because that was just plain painful. I later asked Bill what my facial expression was when she pierced me because he was in the room with me, and he said, "Terror," if that was the case, I think I was just more shocked that I actually went through with the piercing, then the actual pain because I am a pretty conservative girl, and the only piercings you can see on my body are just my earlobes pierced, two holes in each, and that's it. But what other people can't see, they never have to know about!! I told Bill when I got it pierced, and today actually (because we recently broke up), that as much as I love the piercing, when I start dating someone else, I am going to take it out, because it is me and Bill's "thing." If you are thinking about this piercing, go for it!!! You will not regret it!!
