I think there ough to be a paragraph in the FAQ about frenums with a
foreskin. Which other pierce offers such a difficult task in
placement. A foreskin can change so much between flacid and erect. I
can't think of another pierce where the skin involved can move so
much.
I can fill you in on a few things. I had a frenum two weeks ago (and
three weeks ago - more later). I am also 100% intact (uncircumstised).
My piercing is about 3/4" down from the head about level with the head
on the top so I can put on a loop after healing. I had it done 12ga
with a 5/8" barbell.
Before the piercing my foreskin would be in a variety of positions
from not covering the head at all to most of the way over. This hasn't
changed. Most of the time the barbell is on the outside sort of
anchoring the foreskin back but sometimes I have to go in and find
it. I'd prefer it to stay exposed for air circulation but it is fun to
unroll my foreskin to look for the barbell.
Cleaning is easy and was completely painless for me from day
one. Since the skin is loose I can push the barbell one way or the
other to expose both sides of the bar for cleaning. So far not too
many crusties.
So in fact I think the only disadvantage in having a foreskin and a
frenum piercing is in positioning the jewelry. How do you know where
the flacid skin will be whilst erect. I wanted the piercing to be
centred and horizontal whilst erect. I had thought about this before
going to get it done. When I went in I spent quite a while with my
piercer trying to position it. We pulled the skin moved the ink dots
and agreed on a position. I was still a bit dubious but
whatthehell. Afterwards I went home and checked the erect position. As
I feared it was off to one side and squewed. I went out to see a band
and thought about it some more. I decided that it would probably bug
me for years so took it out.
A week later I did some homework. I got hard and drew a grid on my
cock. One line down the exact centre, one each side on the egdes of
the front ridge and a couple of horizontal lines. Then I went down to
the piercer and we tried again. More endorphines etc - good value -
two hits - one pierce - I now understand play piercing.
The second time was perfect. It is exactly where I wanted it to
be. The initial healing has been good. No pain, easy cleaning and not
much redness. Unfortunately my girldfriend is about 6750 miles away
so I haven't fully tested it yet but on a couple of solo missions it
felt great.
