I was out and about one day and I decided I needed a new piercing! Most of my piercings are spontaneous, because if I have time to think about it I'll chicken out. At this point I already had a vertical hood piercing, a navel ring, and my left nostril pierced. I decided I either wanted my tongue pierced or a triangle. I was honestly more scared of the tongue piercing, and because of my job and my parents, I opted for the triangle. It was much easier to hide!

I decided that because it was a more daring piercing than my others, as well as being a genital piercing that I would go to the girl that pierced my nose. She was really friendly, and I trusted her more with my stuff than I would a guy I didn't already know. I called ahead to make sure the piercer was in and that she would do a triangle and then I was on my way. I wasn't nervous at first, but we put off going until midafternoon and by the time I got there, I started to get nervous. All the people were looking at me as if I was crazy. I then chose my jewelry and filled out the necessary paperwork. It's hard to sign my signature with a shaky hand! The piercer also had me pick out a hoop for a horizontal hood in case I wasn't able to get a triangle. She then went to the back to set up and sterilize, and I sat shakily down on the couch to wait.
Finally the piercer came to get me, and I went back to the piercing room. My best friend went with me and held my hand which helped me to relax a little. The piercer told me that she only does four or five triangle piercings a year, mostly because it is dependent on having the correct anatomy. I then took one leg out of my pants and bent it to be in the right position. This was almost the worst part! She then looked at me to make sure I had the right anatomy for this piercing. She then took the barbell out of my vertical hood piercing so it wouldn't be in the way.
When it was time to do the piercing, she felt around for a long time to make sure the piercing would be straight and she wouldn't hit anything important when the needle went through. It was awkward and a little uncomfortable, but I was glad she took her time because it's better safe than sorry! Then it was deep breath time! After the needle went through I gasped in air again. I can't lie, the pain was agonizing. But after the initial shock it dulled down a bit. The piercer then put my vertical hood piercing back in and I got a chance to see what the two piercings looked like together. It was cute because the triangle surrounded the hood piercing.
I was feeling a little light headed afterward so I had my friend drive me home. I had a little trouble finding the comfortable ways to sit and move around at first. The piercing bled a lot the first day, but I didn't have any problems keeping it clean after that. It did take a long time to heal and was sore for awhile. I chose an open ring so it got caught on my pants occasionally if I moved the wrong way.
I now also have my nipples pierced and in comparison I'd say they hurt a lot less. The pain and soreness in them also went away a lot faster than the triangle. I also ended up getting my tongue pierced later. It hurt less than the triangle for sure (but at least the triangle didn't interfere with my eating!) The worst part about the triangle was that it went through so much sensitive tissue, unlike most piercings.
I'm not sure if it exactly made sex better, but it definitely made it different. The combination of my vertical hood and new triangle was amazing! Also occasionally my vertical hood piercing would get caught in the hoop in my triangle and I would have to adjust them. This wasn't a problem as far as the hood goes, by this point I'd had my hood for almost six months and it was completely healed. It was over a month and a half before I could have sex comfortably. However it wasn't impossible before then, I was just a little sore during and after. I wouldn't recommend this as a first genital piercing, or to someone who doesn't want to abstain from sex for the necessary healing time and I doubt I would do it again, but now that it's all healed and well I love it!
