    Looks like your frenulum is in the way of a more central placing. That's very common and most guys just accept it as it really doesn't notice much, especially if you stretch the piercing, which I assume you will want to do.

    That is definitely the case and was part of the discussion I had with Anne on placement. As I said - anatomy, you're stuck with it.

    Morning update the third.

    No signs of any bleeding and all looks healed. However, I get a little reminder that this is a very new wound every time something presses against or pulls on the ring.

    I've noticed that the ring slides through the piercing of it's own volition, sometimes the ball is by the urethra and sometimes by the back of the glans. I'm not sure this is a good thing as the aftercare instructions say not to try sliding the ring through the piercing.

    If the ring is moving around by itself and not causing discomfort then that shouldn't be a problem. Just don't try to move the ring - you may break a blood clot and if your hand isn't clean you might pass an infection to the wound.

    Agreed. It’s ok for it to move on it’s own. Just don’t fiddle with it.

    You’ll also find it takes time for the wound to firm up. Your body is building a new “wall” of skin and that’s why it still feels tender, but not bleeding.

    Tuesday - Day 6

    First experiments using a urinal were successful. Still nothing peeing out of the piercing, but I'm still working on the assumption that this is temporary and as the piercing heals/stretches it will start leaking.

    Yesterday, everything was very uncomfortable and I eventually realised that is was the new briefs I was wearing pushing on the ring. Today I wore the only pair of boxers I own and was much happier. Subsequently had a search of my underwear draw for tired, saggy briefs to wear over the next couple of days.

    Two week update

    Not really a great deal to report. I'm pleased to say that all discomfort ceased a couple of days ago and to a certain extent I forget it is there which is a shame - sort of. The piercing looks very clean but with no sign of the good crusty discharge. The ring still move freely with movement from my clothes, I'm trying very hard not to move it myself.

    In a side note, my hands are getting very dry and sore which I suspect may be related to the amount of times I'm washing them in anti-bacterial soap. (before and after each toilet visit and before each saline soaking session.)

    Like the doubt in the title of this thread I don't know why, but I get a great deal of pleasure seeing the ring in its place.

    You can probably ease up on the hand washing now that the piercing has healed (although the healing process will continue for a few months) but in the meantime use a moisturiser to soften the skin on your hands.

    Congratulations on getting it done. Remember that it takes 8-12 weeks for the healing process to take place. I would recommend waiting 12 weeks.

    Then, you can begin stretching it up. Is that a 10 gauge ring?

    Its 2mm which I think is 12 gauge. I'm finding it a little cheese cuttery so am thinking of asking the piercer to go up to 3mm ASAP. The original plan was to go to 4mm after 8 weeks.

    You should be able to jump two gauges at a time. I would go to 10 next. Your goal should be 4 gauge for a chastity PA.

    I'm not sure why, but Anne seems to prefer working in mm. Maybe its a Canadian thing or perhaps a preference from her clients.

    I had a discussion with her today and will be going up to the next size (around 3mm) and slightly larger diameter soon.

    There is no problem with working in millimeters. Typically, you can stretch up 2 gauges at a time, or 1 mm.

    You want to be at least at 5 mm to secure a chastity device.

    5mm is indeed the target.

    Week Five Update

    Yesterday I made my third visit to the piercer. This time for the first stretching. Some may say 5 weeks is too early, but I was finding the 2mm (12ga) CBR a bit of a cheese cutter specifically around the urethra's opening.
    So the next step 3mm.
    In contrast with the piercing this was to say the least not pain free. No sir!
    First attempt was without pain killing spray. Whilst not the worst pain I've ever felt, it's certainly up there.
    After a log pause to let my blood pressure recover and some lidocaine spray the second attempt. Still too much pain for Anne to complete the job.
    More spray and a cup of tea and the third attempt. Lots of deep breathing and the job was done.
    Now what I hadn't appreciated, the stretch is done with a taper that needs to be threaded on to the new jewellery. The 3mm CBR doesn't have a thread on it, so an intermediate step is needed, which is a curved bar bell that will be in for a week, then replaced with the 3mm CBR.
    A new part of the care routine is to rub in a lotion to soften the skin around the piercing.

    Ouch! Well, all the advice is to wait before stretching so it isn't surprising that it was painful and difficult. However, I hope it doesn't put you off the piercing. But I would say try not to rush the process and let your body tell you when the time is right for the next stage.

    The pain was short term. The result is no more cutty feelings from the small gauge jewellery, so most certainly worth it.
    Just need to go through it all again two more times!

    Congrats! You may have said something and I have missed it, but have you decided on what chastity device you are going with for your new piercing?

    I haven't said and I haven't decided. I don't like any of the Chinese PA ready cages.
    Getting strange packages from overseas is also an issue.
    So I'm thinking of modifying my cage and adding a partial ring to it.


    No idea if it will work, but I can't experiment until the 'ole is bigger still!

    That is pretty quick to start stretching. I started at about week 11 or 12.

    You don't actually have to use a taper that has threads. I did not. My tapers have a small cup at the end.

    I should note that I also did the stretching myself. What I did was use the tapers with some Surgilube, and if it did not want to go all the way through, I just stopped and left it in for a while.

    If it still did not want to go all the way through, I removed it, put the old jewelry back in, and soaked it in saline. I then tried again in a day or two, and it went through.
