I never thought I'd have the nerve to get my genitals pierced, but I've always really liked outer labial piercings for their aesthetic and the way you can accessorize and change the entire look of the piercing with labia spreaders, by crossing the bars, wearing rings, lacing the rings like a corset, etc. A few weeks ago my boyfriend (who is a piercer) and I were playing with forceps and I asked him to put them on my labia. I enjoyed the sensation so I thought maybe I'd be able to handle the needle. He had confidence that I could as well. I wanted to start out with three pair of piercings but we were low on jewelry so we went with two pair. I was nervous on principle, but I had been thinking about getting him to do this every day and I had a feeling I'd enjoy it.

He was kind enough to mark the third ones we wouldn't be doing that day so that I could get an idea of what it would look like when it was finished. After nitpicking and moving them down a bit (I'm a perfectionist when it comes to mods!) we were ready to pierce.
The first piercing was absolutely exhilarating. It hurt for a split second and I flinched, but after that passed my whole body felt electric. I had an orgasm during the second piercing, and that was the first time for that to happen to me without penetration or clitoral stimulation. I decided I needed a break after the first pair because it was a little much. I was absolutely giddy, tingly, and I felt like my whole body was blushing. After a few minutes they started to feel a little sore so I figured it was time to finish. By this point I craved the needle. The third piercing was a little too intense; I was a bit overstimulated. I had pretty much had my fill of it by the fourth piercing, although it never stopped feeling good. Manipulation of the labia in the forceps once the first two started feeling tender was just a little much for me coupled with the excitement and rush of being pierced.I'm glad I'll get to experience it again with the last pair; doing them all at once might have been overdoing it for me.
I wanted smaller beads on the inside of the top pair because the way they were sitting caused a little pain and I have to say I was not a very good patient when he was changing my beads. I was terrified of having my tender skin pinched with the pliers he was using to grip the jewelry. Even though I completely trust him, I wasn't able to let him do it and ended up doing it myself; things like that hurt less when you do them yourself anyway. It took a few days for them to stop being tender; in the meantime I waddled around and didn't wear underwear. I sort of enjoyed the soreness. I showed my new piercings off to all my friends that week. I have yet to "accessorize" and I'm going to stretch them to a ten gauge later this week and maybe finish the last pair. Shaving is the only aggravating part. It's hard to get around the piercings. But once they've healed more I'll be able to take them out and shave quickly before they close up. I'm looking forward to wearing rings; pulling on them will be lots of fun.
I was able to clean them with a slightly awkward sea salt soak. I used a small condiment cup filled with warm sea salt solution (1/4 tsp mixed in 1 cup water and warmed in the microwave). Soaking them was very pleasant and comforting, if a little tricky. I've never had such an uneventful initial healing period. I was able to have sex the same day as the piercings were done. They got a little torn, but recouperated quickly. My boyfriend explained that genitals are very resilient and heal the fastest of any piercing.
I would recommend genital piercings to anyone who's too afraid to get them but has always wanted them. They're really worth it if you like the way they look, and the pain is not nearly as bad as it sounds. Just make sure you have a piercer you trust, that you take a look at the markings beforehand to be sure the placement is how you want it to be, and that you breathe, relax, and enjoy the unique sensation. Don't worry if you get a little excited---your piercer is used to these reactions and wants the experience to be a good one for you.
