The sensual attractiveness of a piercing

Piercing is most of the time done for aesthetics reasons, but sometimes it is also done as a way to discover the hidden sexual power of your body. From the every innocent belly ring to a cheeky pierced tongue or even what it is known as a “Princes Charles” or a "Prince Albert", piercing has a sensual power that attracts people from all over the world.

The coquetry of Piercing

Whether it is a ring on the ear, nose or belly button the aesthetic piercing has innumerable adepts. In some countries a baby girl’s ears are pierced for earrings even before she leaves the maternity hospital and christening presents include gold earrings. From a very early age, women are introduced to the coquetry of adorning their ears with tiny gold earrings.


But what do men think about this coquetry?

Apart from a few men who think of piercings as body mutilation, most of the men I know are curious about piercings. They think about it as something original, a little extravagance that arouses their interest in a woman. For some of them, a pierced woman in an extravagant place of her body (belly button, nipples, genitals) is a woman who can face pain, a strong woman who would dare anything, and that in itself is a challenge!

Piercing as an erotic accessory

Some people enjoy going to the limits and have tried piercing very intimate parts of their bodies not only for aesthetic reasons, but mainly for its erotic effects. According to women who have pierced their nipples or genital areas, their sexual pleasure has increased. Personally I would be a bit concerned about the opposite effect, but I can only talk about third hand experience here, and everyone swears that sexual pleasure goes up with genital piercings. The only piercings I can vouch for are tongue piercings and its virtues for oral sex. Those who have tried a partner with a tongue jewel can agree with me.

Extravagant piercings

Nowadays the piercing market has widened and one can find all sort of jewels for her piercings.  From blinking jewels to transparent ones which are great for those who want to be discreet or those who are not allowed to wear piercings at their work place. 

There are also vibrating piercings –recommended for the tongue and genitals.  And for those who are pregnant you can find jewellery specially designed for pregnancy which stretches along with a woman’s tummy.


According to Painful Pleasures.com Nipple Piercing is the most popular Piercing with Tongue Piercing coming in second.

My Gosh, this hub certainly arouse my interest in understanding most of the reason for tongue piercing. I will henceforth be on the look out to satisfy my desire for and enjoy the pleasure associated with tongue piercing of my partner. Some people can endure pain than others. I am certainly not one of them. Shame!

I think piercing is sexy, especially on the navel. But I'm too scared to try it. :) Cool though!

Stretching with the belly? Wow, I did not know such a thing existed. I wanted to pierce my navel years ago but thought about "what happens when I become pregnant" so I opted not to and have a tattoo there instead. Meanwhile, not sure what that would look like once my belly starts growing....yikes! Cool Hub!

Great Hub. I myself had my tongue pierced about 6 months ago. My 17 year old daughter had her tongue pierced and I was fascinated by it. Of course, me being a 48 year old mother...it didn't quite settle so well with my daughter. The pain during the piercing was intense but quick. It hurt more, 2 to 3 day's later. I had to work and not let them know, which wasn't easy, but I did it. The ladies in my office are still unaware of it and I think I will keep it that way. Call me crazy...but I am actually very glad I did it and my daughter has gotten over it. When it comes to the improvement with sexual pleasing...my better half say's "HELL YEAH!!" All I can say is - it's your body...celebrate it.

I have plenty of piercing and enjoy them. To me they have an erotic effect. My husband enjoys them as well. I have one on my face and that is my nose, my tongue and belly as well as other places. That is all I have. I say pierce if your into it and don't if your not, just know they are addictive. lol
