What the heck is a Prince Albert?

HIJACKER

*EDIT* Warning to the dudes.. Cawk below..










































The Prince Albert piercing (PA) is a form of body piercing. The PA pierces the penis from the outside of the frenulum and into the urethra. There is also a reverse PA piercing which enters through the urethra and exits through a hole pierced in the top of the glans. The piercer uses a reception tube placed into the urethra to ensure needle exits.

A nerve bundle runs along the center of the frenulum. While some piercers may choose to avoid the bundle, others do not. The piercing may be centered if the bearer is circumcised. Otherwise, the piercing will be done to the side because the skin in the area needs to be able to radically reposition itself.

The Prince Albert piercing is apparently named after Queen Victoria's consort Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It is alleged that he wore a ring attached to his penis which was then strapped to his thigh, in order to maintain the smooth line of the tight trousers that were in fashion at the time. It is very difficult to ascertain the validity of this story. No contemporary account of him adopting the practice has come to light, and many suspect that it was a myth invented by Doug Malloy who was chiefly responsible for popularising body piercing in the USA. (It has also been suggested that the name actually refers to Queen Victoria's grandson Prince Albert Victor. This theory probably stems from attempts to link Prince Albert Victor with the Jack the Ripper murders)

The PA heals more quickly than most other piercings. Despite a popular belief that urine is infested with germs, a healthy person's urine is actually nearly sterile until it exits the body. Some believe that the frequent bathing of the piercing with (sterile) urine contributes to the healing process. Infections of Prince Alberts are relatively rare. Initial healing typically takes from one to two weeks, with full healing taking as much as nine months or more.

Some men find that the dribble caused by the PA when urinating necessitates sitting down to urinate. This is not, as might be suspected, due to the hole made during piercing, but rather is caused by urine travelling along the surface of the jewellery. The effect may be exaggerated by different sizes and styles of jewellery. This is usually not a problem when using urinals.

Another common misconception is that the PA is a painful piercing because of the high concentration of nerves in the area. However, nerves are specialized in their function, so the high concentration of nerve cells does not prove a higher sensitivity to pain. Anecdotal reports from people with PAs are that it is not particularly painful, although psychological state, adrenaline, and one's pain threshold all affect this judgment.

Prince Alberts are sometimes stretched to a 0 or 00 gauge i.e. about 11/32 inch (8 to 9 mm) diameter. Prince Alberts typically are pierced at either 12 or 10 gauge (2 to 2.6 mm). In the case of a 12 awg (2 mm) piercing, they are usually either immediately stretched, or stretched after partial or full healing. Outside of this initial stage, they are rarely seen below a 10 gauge (2.6 mm). Stretching to sizes of 6 to 4 gauge (4 to 5 mm) is probably most common.

Jewellery usually worn in a PA include the curved barbell, captive bead, and the Prince's Wand. Short curved barbells are usually about 3/8" or so length, so one ball sits on the lower side of the penis and the other ball sits at the urethral opening. This type of jewellery prevents discomfort that can come from larger jewellery moving around during daily wear.

The Prince's Wand is a particularly unusual piece of jewellery. It consists of a hollow tube with a threaded cap at the end. The tube is inserted into the urethra, and a stem is inserted through the PA piercing and into another threaded hole on the side of the tube. The general shape is similar to a policeman's nightstick. The little side stem holds the tube in place. The threaded cap, often just a ball, can be removed so the wearer can urinate through the hollow tube without having to remove the jewellery.

Whoa!! That was a shock to open this thread again....talk about up close and personal!!

That looks painful.

An erstwhile "friend" of mine from several years back got a prince albert (an event which I was unfortunate enough to be on hand to witness in person, and which was quite enough to convince me that my penis is never, but never, going to have a metal rod jammed through it).
He claimed it didn't hurt too badly, but you should've seen the look of emasculated dismay on the poor boy's face when he was told that he'd better learn to pee sitting down.

I guess I should add my two cents since I was/am a professional body piercer. First, I'm very impressed with the accuracy of the information supplied by Hijacker - kudos. I found only one slight error in his post. The bundle of nerves along the frenulum is always avoided. If it isn't, the piercing would be more painful than piercing a woman's clitoral hood or a man's nipple (the two most painful piercings there are since I refuse to pierce clits). If this nerve bundle is pierced, from my understanding, there is no gaurantee that the penis would remain functional. It's very easy to avoid this problem if anyone is interested but now concerned. The piercing is performed by inserting a small NRT (needle recieving tube) into the tip of the penis. This should feel uncomfortable but not unbearably so. If the client experesses extreme pain during this process, the NRT is pressing against the nerve bundle and any piercer worth his or her training will refuse to proceed.
That said, the experiences of women with men who have PAs vary greatly. A lot of women like it, a lot can't tell a difference, and a lot find it uncomfortable or even painful.
