Genital piercing, in fact piercings in general, have taking quite a rise in popularity. What was once considered taboo is now a very common occurrence in our everyday, tongue rings and bellybutton rings being seen everywhere. Even though there is no easy way to determine in the austere secretary in the office has a clit ring, genital piercings are growing in popularity as well. One of the main reasons for this is enhancing the pleasure of intercourse. Depending on the location that ends up getting pierced, can affect exactly how much of an effect it has.

Compared to piercing on other parts of the body, a genital piercing heals very quickly, with most completely healed in a month or so. The large amount of blood flow in the area allows for such a rapid recovery.
Piercing of the genitalia can have a variety of meanings. Where your master wishes you pierced there, or you’ve heard about the wonderful sensations it can cause, all seem quite attractive.
The Downsides
Like any piercing, lots of attention is needed to ensure that it does not become infected (painful to say the very least), and also to make sure that the hole does not close.
Until the piercing is completely healed, you are also going to need to forgo some sexual activities. Anything brushing against the piercing can and, more than likely will irritate it.
Also, any STD that has physical symptoms on the vagina itself will often become bothered by a piercing. Some reports say that, for those with genital warts, it can actually cause outbreaks after times of inactivity. That is definitely a factor you want to keep in mind.
Also, while much more common now a days, genital piercing is still highly frowned upon by many people. While it is practically impossible for most people to find out about it unless you want them to, certain people are going to eventually spot it, namely your gynecologist. Medical practitioners often frown upon such piercings, although they cannot tell you what you can and cannot do with your body.
The Types
There are a variety of different ways to get your vagina pierced, and each type has their own distinct aspects.
The Christina is an unpopular type, pierced vertically through the junction of the outer labia, coming out above the pubic region. This piercing has both a long healing time coupled with a high rejection rate. For such a sensitive area of the body, this is near unacceptable.
Clitoris piercing is, contrary to popular belief, not the more common piercing through the clitoral hood, but a piercing that goes through the clitoris itself. This is the most risky of piercings to get, due to the fact that it could have adverse affect on sexual desire by damaging the clitoris.
Horizontal clitoral hood piercing is a commonly seen piercing, although one that must be placed meticulously if the desired effect of increased sexual stimulation is sought. Of course, it will look very erotic to your partner, and that is almost as good.
The most popular of them all is the vertical clit hood piercing. It boasts the most able to provide sexual stimulation, as well as one of the more ascetically pleasing placements. Because it is running parallel to the clitoris itself, this allows for it to stimulate easily, as well as having much less chance to become pulled or irritated.
Other piercings that are not often seen are labia piercings, problematic because they can be pushed into the vagina, triangle piercing, which is not compatible with many women’s unique shapes, and fourchette, which also requires a specific body structure, and can be torn easily.
Piercings are slowly gaining acceptance more and more. When an earring on a man once raised an eyebrow, now there are tongue rings, nose rings, and even that raised eyebrow pierced.
