I am a married 31 year old female with two children. My husband and I have been married since we were teenagers and have had a wild and interesting sex life. For several months, he has been begging me to get my hood pierced. I have looked at this website and studied it for hours upon hours reading about others experiences. I kept trying to put it off, but after a few days, my hubby would bring it up again and ask me to get it done. I was terrified. I did not want it done at all. I was afraid of spreading my legs for a stranger more than anything else. I had no desire to have it done, other than pleasing my husband. I made multiple phone calls to every tattoo studio in my town and asked so many questions. But nothing seemed to relieve my stress of having it done.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When A month ago Artist Steve Location Texas Six weeks ago, I woke up and decided that was the day. No more procrastinating! I called my husband and told him to come home and get ready to go. I also had a little help. I had an old prescription of an anti anxiety medication. I knew that taking the medication was the only way I would ever actually be able to go get pierced. I took three times the prescribed amount to calm my nerves. I dont recommend to anyone taking that much. I don't remember the entire experience, because I have memory loss while I'm on the medication, but I do remember some. I took a really long hot bath to get clean and relaxed. I shaved the entire area, so he could see exactly what he was doing. By the time I was done in the bath, I was totally relaxed and not at all nervous. I called the piercer and told him I was on my way.
Once I arrived at the studio, I was taken to a private room in the back. He asked me exactly what I wanted, and at first, I just said, pierce both my inner labia. I was lying on some sort of table, very relaxed and legs spread wide open, with my husband at my side and very excited! All I remember was a very minimal pinching pain. No big deal at all. Then, he pierced the second side, with very minimal pain again. I was thinking Wow; I could do this every day. After he was done, he said I was bleeding a lot, so he put some tissue between my labia. I was too chilled out from the medicine, so I didn't even look to see how much I was bleeding. I was so brave and impressed at how little it actually hurt, so I asked him if he could pierce my hood too, or if I would have to wait. He said that was fine and he would do it. Next thing I know, the most horrible pain I've ever experienced was happening between my legs!! I screamed, "Ouch!" Boy did it hurt badly, but like I had always heard, the pain went away after he was finished. He gave me a bottle of special sea salt that you can just spray on several times a day to help heal it faster. He took a picture to add to his book of piercings, I got dressed and off I went.
The healing process was very long. I went out and bought several skirts and that's all I wore. I didn't let my husband touch me for three weeks. The first time we did do it, it was not a good experience. The left side of my hood was still pretty sore, enough to keep me from being comfortable. I couldn't even orgasm, and I still cant.
It has been six weeks now, and my hood still hurts. It is not red, not oozing, nothing at all. It looks very healthy, and I love the way it looks, I just hate the pain. I don't want to have sex anymore because it hurts too badly. Even when I wear pants, they rub the area, and it hurts. I have to wear skirts and go pantiless to keep it from hurting all day. I don't know what to do. I am curious if anyone out there has had a horizontal hood piercing that just doesn't feel right. It seems that everything I read makes it sound so wonderful. But it definetly hasnt been wonderful for me. I'm going to wait a while longer to see if maybe I'm just not done healing. But, I would say that for me, it was not worth it at all. If anyone has good advice for me, I would very much appreciate it, because I would love to learn to enjoy the piercing and keep it.
