**lovestoread** · 06-20-2008, 08:04 PM

in certain places? I have heard some are done for ........sexual reasons......although I cant understand why? and didn't it hurt like HELL when you did it ? And yes Frugal nurse, Carly's husband was kinda scary lookin'........

I have my belly button pierced. I just like the way it looks although after 2 kids no one sees my stomach anyways. I've thought about the piercing you're probably talking about and yes, that's for sexual reasons or so I hear. I'll never muster the gumption for that one though, just too chicken.

{{{eeeeeek!}}}
was my response to Carly's husband.

Piercings.. Didn't I say... Don't get me started!!

If your body was meant to have a hole there... it would already be there.

If a person needs piercing to enhance the sexual arena - then I feel sorry for them.

There's only ONE reason a woman gets a 'tongue' ring and it's not for her own look of beauty. If you NEED a tongue ring... well then.. I still feel sorry for you. And all the other piercings I won't get into.

I know... some people are into the BDSM scene so... I guess piercings are needed in that 'scene' in order to fit in. But.. personally... can I just say.. BLEH!

Of course.. you can get all the piercings you want- I don't hate you for it. And I don't judge you because of it. In fact, I love you for it. It makes my skin and body look sooooo much better. If we were standing side by side and your bod was pierced all over- you betcha I'd beat cha hands down.

So I should thank all those with piercings everywhere.

all I can say about "that one" is eewwwwwwwwww, somebody has to see you there and touch you to get the piercing in there!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! No Way!!!!!!

**danimarie0820** · 06-20-2008, 08:29 PM

I have piercings and I understand why people have negative opions about them because I used to be the same way. I was anti-piercings and anti-tattoos. I didn't understand why someone would do that to themselves. Now here I am with tattoos and piercings... I have navel, tongue, ears, and my tragus done. I didn't get them because I needed to fit in or for any sexual reason, I got them because I like them. There isn't just ONE reason for a girl to have her tongue pierced. I think everyone has their own reasons for what they do.

**lovestoread** · 06-20-2008, 08:33 PM

please don't get me wrong, I am just speaking of those in the "private area" being for sexual reasons. I am not judging those who do just wondered if that was the main reason, and that whoever is doing the piercing is seeing you in a most "intimate" area......

**danimarie0820** · 06-20-2008, 08:37 PM

I think that type of piercing would be so scary and painful not to mention the person doing it. Not saying that other piercings are great but who came up with the idea of them? I mean seriously, I don't know any girl or guy personally that would just go and get those areas pierced! Scary if you ask me! lol

**inneedofhope** · 06-20-2008, 09:37 PM

I once dated a guy who had his tongue and nipples pierced. The tongue ring would fall off when kissing, and cuddling was tough because his nipple rings would snag on his shirt. Really more annoying that anything, though I always thought the tongue ring looks kinda cool, though I couldn't do it, the second ear piercing was painful enough for me!

**MomToTwoBoys** · 06-20-2008, 10:37 PM

My first DH got a Prince Albert and I made him take it out one night...then he couldn't put it back in.

That served him right...

I got my tongue pierced for purely cosmetic reasons. I never had a flashy barbel there (though I did have one that said Princess on top) so it's not like it was tacky. I got my eyebrow done simply because I wanted it done. It didn't respond well to my body, though, and I had to get it removed because it was infected. I got my navel pierced when I had a really toned six-pack stomach in the Marine Corps and honestly, it was really nice.

I, however, could never get one in any part of my body that has a severely high sensation threshold. That's just, meh.

**Momto2Boyz** · 06-20-2008, 11:56 PM

I'm not huge on piercings for myself. I have tried, but just didn't like them. I had my eyebrow pierced in college. Honestly, I pretty much just got that done to annoy my mother right before I went home for Thanksgiving break!

Horrible, I know...I wouldn't do it now!

I had my tongue pierced...twice. And I hated it. I don't know how people get used to it. I always had a metalic taste in my mouth and it made it hard to eat certain foods. But that was just me, I have some friends who have had it done for years and love it, so to each his own.

I've had my belly button pierced since I was 18...so 11 years now. I wore it through both my pregnancies and have changed the ring, but never really taken it out. I love that one, but it is the only one that stuck.

I've always thought about getting my nose done, with a teeny tiny little diamond. But I don't think I can pull it off. Plus, since I've "wasted" money on piercings before, by getting them done and taking them out, I don't think I'll ever do it.

I'd be curious to see everyone's age vs. their opinions on piercings. Not saying that everyone against them is old fashioned or anything. It just seems like starting with my generation and going down, it has become a really normal thing and nothing out of the ordinary. I love going to the park with my kids and seeing the mom's (like me) with tattoos and piercings, I just think it's kind of cool that you no longer have to be a "biker chic" to have these things be acceptable!

**Palooka** · 06-21-2008, 12:14 AM

I'm not a tat person myself but I love peircings. I have had my nose and tongue peirced for years now. Never had a desire for a belly one though. A few on the ears.

And no.........silly... the tongue had nothing to do with a sexual reason.

I just think it is cute.

I think women look really pretty/cute with a nose ring, especially dark skin. I know I am weird though. lol

**Palooka** · 06-21-2008, 12:17 AM

Wrong, very sweeping generalization there...

I think they are pretty.

My piercings are all purposeful decisions made to commemorate moments in my life, much like tattoos for many people. None of them were for sexual reasons for me, although they certainly give a little extra spark. I got my tongue done right before DH moved out of town and into our first place together, womanhood, my voice expressed. And yes, a little honeymooning fun :p As an added benefit, it forced me to relearn the positioning of my tongue and, because the bar would stop my tongue from thrusting forward, I now speak *without* the little lisp I had all my life up until then! So, this one is definitely staying in.

When I got my lip done, I was mourning someone who always wanted me to get it done who is no longer here, I wanted to feel no matter where each of us is, he would always feel as close as kiss. Neither my husband or myself realized it's, uh, well positioned for, um, things, especially when coupled with the tongue bar (none of my peircings have ever accidentally come out btw.) It was something we only figured out later, lol.

My husband and I both have our nipples done. We went to get them done together, and that's what it was about, getting something done together and moving into a new mode of our relationship -- we had just gone through something earth shattering together, they symbolize surviving pain together.

I have a friend who got her chachie done last year before she got married. I've had some surgery down there, and nonono I just couldn't take the pain. But again for her it was symbolism, she saw it as sort of liberation, the ultimate control over her body, a confrontation of a fear, thus giving her the ability to consciously give all of herself to her husband. Sex was secondary (but she said it improved her sensitivity.) She didn't have a problem, um, saddling up in the chair. Every peircer I've been to was very professional, and, like an doc or a massuese, people who work on other people's bodies, private parts aren't a big deal and they try to make you comfortable if it's a big deal for you.

All that said, I don't think there's anything wrong at all with people who wish to get peircings to enhance their sexual lives, either, or peirce without a point. To each his own.

I will add, I'm 29. I don't really know many people who *aren't* tattooed, peirced, or into scarification in some way. It's just my circle. We're all educated, successful and not unattractive. Even the most vanilla people I know have small or undercover things.

my oldest daughter who is almost 19, got the word Faith on her foot in march of this year, and it is cute, and my other daughter who is almost 17 got her nose pierced, with the teeny little diamond , and it really is cute too. I went with my youngest to get it done, had to since she was 16 at the time, it wasn't too bad. I would sorta like to get either the moon/stars thing somewhere or a little fairy, or a cross , but I am 41, and my mother would have a cow!!!!! Ha ha!!!!

I don't know, maybe someday!!!!!!!

Come on...tell us how you really feel.

What's the one reason women get tongue rings?
If you're implying it's strictly for sexual reasons....you don't know me.

And this comment..."If your body was meant to have a hole there... it would already be there."
I've heard alot of old people say that.

You are entitled to your opinion....but if you were standing beside Kat Von D...I'm sure she'd beat you hands down.

I feel sorry for you too. *wink*
