Vertical Hood Piercing Questions

Some may consider this a bit more mainstream than some of the things that are discussed for this sight but I figured I would still ask. I find vertical hood piercings very sexy. I guess my question is, what is the woman’s prospective on them. I have hoped that my girlfriend would be willing to do this but she is reluctant. is there anyone who has had positive result from having this done? One of the myths about having this kind of piercing is (A) that the clitoris becomes desensitized over time and (B) that it heightens the sensitivity and that a woman with this can end up becoming aroused and having orgasms just by simply walking or at unexpected times (to be honest I have my hopes up this one is true). Can anyone help shed some light on this?

I am not female, but I am a retired piercer from the pioneering days.

The vertical hood, like all the clitoral hood piercings, is anatomy dependent. A loose hood, no adhesions and hood that completely covers the glans when the clit is relaxed are the usual things I looked for. These piercings should be done with a 14 gauge barbell or bead closure ring. Healing time is about 3-4 weeks.

Properly placed, this piercing will enhance sensation. If done incorrectly, it will cause a loss of sensitivity, perhaps permanently. In other words, find a very good piercer with lots of experience in genital piercings.

Now a word about the ethics of the situation. If your girlfriend is reluctant to have this piercing, you really have no right, nor should you have any expectation that she will get it. I would not pierce anyone whom I felt was being pressured to have the piercing.

That is a good point. i would not want to have her do anything that she did not want to. it is more that it is a fantasy i and she is curious but still unsure.

I would like to echo speedvogels' comments, I was also a professional piercer, but add that in my experience healing time for this piercing is usually shorter typically 2 weeks. Modifying the jewellery with smaller balls or different ring size will usually resolve oversensitivity problems. In Europe most piercers will use a spray anesthetic which usually renders the piercing painless.

Put your friends mind at rest at worst if it proves to be uncomfortable the jewellery can be easily removed and the piercing will rapidly close.

Compared to all the other piercings out there...is the clit piercing the most painful???

Hood piercings are not too painful. (At least that is what my clients reported.)

A true clitoral piercing is another story all together. First, very few women have the substantial clitoris needed to allow a safe piercing. Second, Proper placement is critical or the piercing will do permanent damage to the intense nerve structure in the glans clitoris. Notice I said glans clitoris; putting a permanent piercing into the shaft of the clitoris invites all sorts of issues with nerves and the erectile abilities of the organ. If your clit is at least 8 mm. wide when flaccid, you are a candidate for a clit piercing. Only about one in 50,000 women qualify without an enlargement regimen.

Now imagine having a 16 or 14 gauge piercing needle thrust through the glans of your clitoris. You betcha it will hurt like hell. Fortunately, after the jewelry is in place, the pain subsides to a mild degree of tenderness. These piercings heal quite rapidly and easily.

I have done four or five clitoris piercings. Two of the clients, a mother and daughter, did not have to enlarge their organs to have the piercings. All of my clients reported that sensation was enhanced to a point where orgasms came easily and quickly.
