Piercing Vagina

While there are a number of female genital piercings that an experienced piercer can perform, piercing a vagina is next to impossible.  The phrase piercing vagina typically refers to any number of female genital piercings that can be performed.  Since the vagina itself is primarily internal, external structures, and some partially internal and external structures, are usually pierced instead of the vagina itself.  Here are a number of female genital piercings that can be performed by a skilled body modification expert.

• Labia Piercings - The labia are the folds of skin on the external part of the vagina.  There are several areas of the labia, most of which can be pierced.  This is the most common female genital piercing people refer to a piercing their vagina.
  • Outer Labial Piercing - This is a piercing of out labial area, which is a large area of tissue outside the vaginal opening and the inner labia.  General heal time is between 2 and 3 months.
  • Inner Labial Piercings - The inner fold of skin directly outside of the vaginal opening.  This area of skin can be pierced multiple times or with a single ring. 
• Clitoral Hood Piercings - A piercing of the hood over the clitoris.  While clitoral piercings are possible, most are actually a piercing of the hood around the clitoris.
  • Vertical Clitoral Hood Piercing - A vertical piercing of the clitoral hood.  This is the most common type of clitoral hood piercing.
  • Horizontal Clitoral Hood Piercing - The piercing is performed on a horizontal basis rather than a vertical one.  This provides different sensations to the vertical hood piercing.
  • Actual Clitoral Piercing - This can only be performed on a women with a larger clitoris.  Since it is a large area of skin, the actual clitoris can be pierced.
  • Deep Shaft Clitoral Piercing - This is a vertical clitoral piercing that enters deep into the clitoral shaft, exiting the body above the hood.  This is a relatively rare piercing and it takes and extraordinary amount of time to heal due to the large amount of tissue being pierced.

There are a number of other area that are commonly referred to as vaginal piercings, but these piercings are extremely rare and difficult to perform.

Benefits and Issues with Piercing Vaginal Areas

The main purpose for piercing a vagina, aside from the obvious addition of a piece of jewelry, is the enhancement of sexual pleasure that results from the additional piece of jewelry.  Depending on the location of the piercing, the woman and the man's sexual experience can be enhanced greatly, leading to more pleasure during intercourse, increased stimulation on endogenous zones, and an increased rate and frequency of sexual climax.  This is especially true with piercings of the clitoral hood area, since the increase stimulation to the clitoris will increase the frequency of sexual climax.

It should be known that not all women will benefit from female genital piercings in the same way.  Where some women may experience an increased sensitivity, they may also experience over-sensitivity, where the slightest touch creates a sensation that is too difficult to handle, or even painful, or they may experience desensitization, where the area actually looses sensitive over time.  This may be temporary or permanent.  It cannot be determined if the person will experience this until they have had the piercing performed.

It is important to find an experienced and well trained body piercing expert to perform female genital piercings.  Due to the high frequency of nerves in the area and the complexities of the anatomy, it is important to be precise with the location of the piercing itself.   Also, proper sterilization and procedures need to be used to help prevent an infection from developing.  This is also essential to help prevent the transfer of infectious diseases due to the instruments used being unclean.  Every piercing studio should be equipped with an autoclave and be inspected by the area health department periodically. 

When you have your piercing performed, you should see every instrument opened in front of you, including the needles, forceps, clamps, and jewelry.  The piercer will go through everything before the actual piercing takes place.  Before you decide on who will perform you piercing, you should ask to see some of their previous work.  This allows for some credibility to be developed on the side of the piercer. 

In many cases, these piercings will hurt during the initial piercing (when the needle is inserted), but the pain generally subsides over a few day period.  The piercees reaction will vary depending on the person.  Some people claim to experience extreme sexual sensations during the piercing itself, while others only experience pain.  You should never attempt piercing a vagina yourself or having anyone beside a professional perform it.
