10C.1 Reverse Prince Albert
by Steve Weston <stweston@nmsu.edu>
On July 1st of this year (1995), I finally got my reverse PA. I have
been thinking about it for over two years, and decided to go for it. I
got it touch with someone in the Albuquerue area who new about the
piercers, his name on the net is O Captain My Captain, and he agreed
to be my saving grace and drive me to and from the shop.
I had it done at Sine Qua Non by Eerin. He was great. He was nice and
calm and relaxed the whole time. The thing is, is that he had never
done a reverse PA, but told me that if I was comfortable with him
doing it, he would be more that happy to. I decided what the hell,
since he was so honest and straight forward about it, what could
really go wrong.
Anyway, I signed the release, picked out the jewelry (12g black
Niobium captive bead hoop), and waited for him to say that everything
was ready and sterilized. When I went into the piercing room, I was
quite relieved to see all of the equipment packaged and or soaking. I
dropped my pants, got into the chair, and he began his thing on my
thing. I was thoroughly cleaned, marked, and set. I asked if Lydocaine
was available and he already had it handy. He put some into my urethra
and after a few seconds, he inserted the recieving tube. This is where
I got a little nervous. That tube was a whole lot bigger than I
thought, and I didn't even feel it, just it's weight.
He took some time to explain to me that because this pierce does not
use clamps, and because it goes through more meat than most others, it
would take longer than usual. So I began breathing deeply, and he told
me when he was about to start.
Now, I won't lie, it hurt quite badly, but not as bad as I imagined,
and not in the same manner that I thought it would. The only problem
I had was that I was expecting an actual feel of puncture, and when
this did not occur after quite a while of pain, I began to freak out
mentally. Just at the time when I was about to say stop, Eerin said
O.K. we're all of the way through. My first reaction was to say
"Really?" but I just continued breathing calmly. Now, I expected the
pain to continue, but after the needle was all of the way through,
there was no more pain at all. He threaded the hoop, and voila, I was
finished. It was about this point in time when I started feeling like
I had smoked about seven bongs single handedly, and he said I could
lay there as long as I wanted. This was a good thing, because I don't
think that I could have walked evenly and in balance then.
The dreaded glove and rubber band came next, yuck, what a pain in the
ass. He informed me that things might hurt a little when I first go
to the bathroom and when I get my first erection.
When I got home to Las Cruces, I went to the store and bought all of
the cleaning stuff and proceeded home to clean it for the first
time. This was no problem, a little tender, but nothing I couldn't
handle. The only times that I bled where during the night for the
first four nights, I guess thats because they were the only times I
got an erection. When I decided to try masturbating, about five days
afterward, the only thing that hurt was the cum that got onto the exit
"wound" afterward", but manipulation was no problem.
As for healing, it took almost four months for it to completely heal,
and now I am quite active with it in most ways. The crusties were
gross and a pain, but less pain cleaning them than rotating them into
the pierce while cleaning. I got infected once, and a little iodine
and frequent cleaning did that very well. I think I cleaned three
times a day for just about a month, and I think I really needed to
too. After that, I just was carefull to get the crusties off when I
took my daily shower. And now, I don't have to worry about those
anymore either.
About a month ago though (three months after the fact), I noticed that
I had a raised white ring around the exit hole, but I read that that
is quite normal for a lot of certain kinds of pierces. That is gone
also.
Overall, I consider my pierce to be a high point of my existance, in
that I despise pain, but I did it, and am quite proud. I would not
discourage anyone from getting a reverse PA, but I will say that it
takes quite a while, and patience. If you can get through the first
week, and into a routine, it's cake.
Over X-mas or maybe in January I am going to be getting upsized to a
10ga, and I can't wait. And for X-mas, I am giving myself a nose
pierce as a present. Pierce number three, here I come.
