One day as I was browsing the internet, I read a story on a website about a woman with a vertical hood piercing. The story she described about having an orgasm while running simply mesmerized me because for me, orgasms are hard to come by. Keep in mind, I am a sophomore in college with one small tattoo on my back and no other piercings. At that moment, I got a brilliant idea that I should maybe get my hood pierced also. I don't know how or why because before now, I wouldn't even think of piercing anything within 10 feet of my vagina!

So then I started looking at more websites to learn the ins and outs of genital piercings. I researched female and male piercings (some of which made me sick to my stomach) and decided that the VCH was very attractive. The fact that it is the least painful, and quickest healing of all female genital piercings, probably had some bearing on my decision also. I thought about it a little longer, talked to my partner and some other friends and decided that as soon as I got the nerve, I was gonna get the piercing.

When I ran the idea by one of my coworkers, she then told me that she wanted to get her belly-button pierced and that we should go together. So we decided to go by Outer Edge on one Saturday afternoon. We got there and talked to Josh and he was very helpful. He answered all the questions that I had about the piercing from pain meds and healing times to cleaning instructions. He told me that he would do my hood for $50 and my friend's belly-button for $40. I told him that we would be back on the next Saturday to get the piercings, and although skeptical, he said "we'll seeya Saturday"

So Saturday came along and while my friend was relatively calm, I was slowly losing my nerve. So I grabbed a soda, a bottled water, and my credit card and we left our dorm before I had time to change my mind. When we got to the shop, both of our palms were sweaty, but we were determined! We briefly spoke with Josh again while he answered any last minute questions, we paid, and then it was our turn. We argued over who was going first and I let her go because she said she might lose her nerve if she saw me get mine, so it was settled. I'm relatively squeamish but I watched her get hers and boyt did I almost lose my nerve then! She reacted as if the pain was unbearable. My mind was racing and I thought, "maybe its not too late... dammit, i already paid!" I was soooo ready to back out but then the vision of how sexy it would be and how much my partner would love it brought me back to reality. I was still getting it! After that brief moment of doubt, it was finally my turn.

Josh made the whole experience a bit more unnerving as he was extremely professional and let me know everything he was about to do. I had taken care of the cleaning and shaving back at my dorm so it was pretty much straight to business. I climbed onto the paper towel covered chair, he rubbed some kinda ointment on, and inserted the receiving tube. I had gotten myself all ready when he said "hold on, lemme get a bigger receiving tube." That bought me more time, but it was short lived. He told me to breathe in and stuck in the needle as I breathed out. I felt a quick surge of pain as he did the piercing, then nothing, then a slight pinch as he inserted the jewelry, then nothing again. My friend sat by and watched in amazement as I looked down at my newly pierced hood. Josh turned away as I got dressed, gave both of us cleaning instructions and seasalt and we left. He also mentioned using Bactine but being a nursing major, I didn't feel it was appropriate to but antibiotic on anything that's not infected so I don't use it.

Right now, I'm practicing the LITFA method, urinating on it (I know it sounds nasty but your urine is sterile to your body,) and periodically removing the jewelry and soaking it in the seasalt solution to get rid of any funky smelling germs that might accumulate. Although I got the piercing about 2 weeks ago, my partner and I haven't played with it yet (he's a little rough.) I, however have played with it on my own and have found that my orgasms are much more intense and last quite a bit longer than before. I'm sure it will be the source of pleasure for years to come. I would definitely recommend this piercing and Outer Edge (ask for Josh) to anyone. Have fun!
