10C.2 Aparavya Piercing Experience

October 21, 1995
I got my apadravya today, and boy did it hurt. Did it ever. I can
actually barely remember the pain, but for the first time ever, I
screamed. Pretty loud too, when I went out everyone asked if I was
ok. Different kind of pain than the nipples, which was shortlived and
searing, this was like real pain. Like getting an arm broken, only
worse. Jim Weber at Infinte Body Piercing did the job, as he's done
all my other genital piercings (and most body ones as well). It's been
about 4hrs since then and I'm still just coming down from the rush...
I've already got a 0ga PA, so the hole on the bottom is quite large.
We decided on using a regular length apadravya barbell (10ga) with a
5'16" ball on the bottom of it, to prevent slippage up the urethra (I
already had such a ball in my posession). Not a perfect solution, but
it works for now (I evenually plan to stretch up to about 6ga. The
barbell will still slip into the hole if I pull enough, but the
barbell tends to stay in it's place, since the new top hole is very
tight.
Basically, we decided that we would use a needle receiving tube (0ga,
since my hole is that big on the bottom) and then pierce through the
top into that. He marked the spot, and I made him move it a bit to the
left. After I was satified with the mark I prepared, by lying down
and beginning those nice relaxing breaths (not). My heart was racing
quite rapidly and I could feel it. The tube went in easily, since I've
already got the 0ga hole there, and the clamps fit on nicely, altough
they were a bit tight, but not too painful. I stuttered a few time, in
terms of starting the three-breath countdown.
Then I steeled myself up, told Jim that "this is the first
breath"...in... out... in...out...in...ouuuuCCCCHHHH!!!!!!!!
<insert gut-wrenching scream here>
Then it was over. Jim removed the insertion tube, pulled off the
clamps and then screwed in the ball on the bottom. I was then wrapped
up in a sterile pad, gauzed and taped (covered by a surgical glove, to
catch leakage of blood, if there was any).
I was getting very light-headed, so Jim offered me some Gatorade
(which Infinite keeps around for such occasions) drank about half the
bottle and lay down for a little while (1 minute or so). I was fine
after that, but I'm still a bit shaky (4 hours later).
I took off the bandages, because I had to go the bathroom and there
was quite a bit of blood, but none in the glove, so it wasn't flowing
freely (no bloody glove). Going the bathroom was a bit painful, but
nothing I haven't felt before due to my PA, or some random bladder
infection (sorry to gross anyone out). I rebandaged with a
sterile-pad, gauze and tape, and we'll see how much blood there is
overnight.
I'm quite happy with the placement and look of it (I just want it to
be larger and have bigger balls, but I can wait until it heals). Much
more so than my PA, which I don't know how happy I was with it, since
I stretched it out so much. The good news is, I can now pee standing
up, which is something I haven't been able to do since I went above
6ga in my PA. The only bad news is the blood, but we'll see how long
that lasts.
A few days later: The blood has been almost non-existent (except for
crusting) after that first removal of the bandage. I soak every
morning, remove the crust, clean with betadine and wash out. Do the
same every evening. I'm soaking it in epson salts at night (after
betadine, before washing) to keep keloiding down (worked before
so...).
Waiting for sex isn't a problem, since my SO is out of town for the
next couple of months, which makes this piercing choice good planning.
