About three months ago I made the decision to get my clitoris pierced. I am not entirely sure as to why I wanted to do this, but almost over night I decided it was just something I had to do. Why? I wish I could better explain that. For starters, once the idea entered my mind I could not stop thinking about it. Maybe it is just one of those crazy things that I had to do or maybe it is because I don't think we should be embarrassed about such things. I guess you could say I consider it a celebration of who I am and of being a woman. Anyway, I absolutely love it.

I did not need her approval because I had already made up my mind, but I always like to have someone with me when getting a piercing just incase I get dizzy or don't feel well enough to drive and I was hoping she would agree to accompany me. Initially she thought I was crazy, but as it became clear that I was actually going to go through with it I gained her support. I wasn't nervous about the actual piercing, but I was nervous about finding a piercer I was comfortable with. I wanted a female to perform the piercing and a male had performed my others (nose, conch, and rook). After asking around I found an experienced woman who'd be willing to pierce me. The hours went by so slowly as I waited for my appointment to roll around.
I arrived early in sweats, since I didn't know if jeans would necessarily be the most comfortable choice after being pierced. My nerves raged as I sat in the front of the studio waiting with my friend who still couldn't believe I was going to go through with it. Finally, my piercer arrived. She calmed me down and made me feel comfortable and explained how everything would work. At this point my only concern was whether or not the piercing would cause a loss of feeling in the area.
Quickly my piercer had everything ready and gave me my options as far as jewelry goes. I chose a straight barbell to start with. She then explained that my anatomy would decide which type of clitoral hood piercing I could have, horizontal or vertical. For a moment she just looked at me and I realized it was time. She instructed me to drop my pants and lay down with my legs spread. She said I'd be more suited for a horizontal and that as far as the benefits of a clitoral hood piercing would go, both are similar. She lubricated the area and placed a clamp on me. To be entirely honest, this was the most painful part. I was ready to just get it over with. Next, she took the 14 gauge needle and a cork in her gloved hands. I asked her if it would be okay if I cursed and she told me it'd be fine. I grabbed my friend's hand and took a deep breath. Then, it was all over. My piercer leaned back, smiled, and asked if I was okay. I did not scream or curse because I wasn't for sure if she had actually pierced me. She then gave me a mirror to check it out and I was in love. I dressed, stood up, thanked her, and walked out without any pain. I was amazed. I was prepared to be bleeding all night and in excruciating pain. However, I felt great and had absolutely no complications. I went home and changed into some jeans and went out for the night and almost completely forgot about what I had done.
My piercing healed beautifully and I still love it as much as I did the day I had it done. Now I can't imagine myself without it. The benefits are great and it certainly is interesting. Shortly after getting my horizontal clitoral hood, the friend who accompanied me decided she wanted one, too. She only had her ear lobes pierced. Her experience was just like mine and she experienced little pain and a lot of gain. She is glad she made that decision, too.
I wish I could better describe why I chose to make that decision, but I am certainly glad I did. To anyone who is considering getting a clitoral hood piercing, I highly recommend it. While getting this type of piercing is a bit more nerve wrecking than others, the healing is nothing compared to getting anything on your ears done other than your lobes. You can't roll over it and be in pain or anything and within a matter of days the tenderness is gone. It is definitely my favorite piercing and my experience was wonderful as well.
