What do women think of male genital piercings?

Q. I have multiple genital piercings and tattoos which had I had done while I was married. I had them for about about 5 years now and my ex wife loved them but and since the divorce I met only a few women that were okay with them in the past 2 years. The ones I met before had piercings and tattoos themselves so in the beginning we talked about theirs and then discussd mine. It seems to me like these women are rare. Either my approach is wrong or they are just not into it. I was told by friends to let women know right away so you don't waste their time but when I do that they don't get to know me and run since genital piercings are not in the norm. So I would like to know what women really think of genital piercings? Should I change me and conform so women don't run? What is the best way to approach women about the subject? Your input will help me decide if I should remove them and conform or leave them in and just be me.
What if hygene is not an issue does it still seem to be a turn off for women?
They also make condoms which are made for these types of situations so that would not be a factor either.

A. Not my cup of tea personally but each to their own.

I think you should stay as you are, these piercings are obviously a strong part of your personality and you shouldn't change for anyone.
If women are making a quick get away when they find out well it's their loss really isn't it? there is no point being with someone who doesn't accept you is there? because as soon as she finds out she is likely to ditch you anyway and if you have formed an attachment by then it's likely to be more hurtful then if she left in the beginning.

So don't change, wait for the right woman who will accept you for who you are, piercings and all.

Original Question

I was wondering if getting a inner wrist tattoo would hurt more vertical than horizontal?

Q. I was thinking of getting one , but i'm not to sure if I wanna bare the pain, but im only getting to words!

A. I answer these questions related to pain in the same way every time.

The pain in different places differs from person to person, pain threshold does have a lot of input but, for example, my chest tattoo didn't hurt at all, where as some people I know said their chest tattoo hurt a lot!

Anyway, here's a basic pain level chart I always reffer people to.

Pain level 1
These include the upper arm, forearm, calf, Bum, and Thigh. For a 1st tattoo these are great points to begin your inked journey.

Pain level 2
These include the centre back, front / side of thighs and shoulders. This is also not too bad a start for your first tattoo. The shoulders and central back region can be area that require quite a lot of movement. The skin on these areas is much looser meaning it takes longer to tattoo and also longer to heal. On areas that have lots of movement such as these, require more care once a tattoo is completed. Due to the thigh area being quite a dense muscle mass and also quite tight skin, it may tend to bruise the day after.

Pain level 3
These include the knees, elbows, hands, head, neck, feet, chest and back of thighs. Beginners beware of starting at these areas. You would need to be determined to have tattoos here as the high sensitivity would require a lot of mental focus to get you through. The poor quality of skin on both the knees and elbows will result in a very slow tattoo process and nerves are very close to the surface in these areas. This could result in the tattooing being unbearable for any length of time for some people. As with the orange areas these tend to be high movement areas and will require a longer healing timescale. You may find that to achieve a good solid colour, you may have to repeat the tattoo process on these areas. As a side note the chest area on men can be much more sensitive to pain than a woman, yet due to the tighter skin on a male, the tattoo can be completed quicker.

Pain level 4 (OWCHIE!)
Areas include hips, ribcage, stomach, back of knees, armpit, inside of elbow, nipples, lips, inside of thighs and genitals. Are you really sure you want to get that tattoo? As these areas can elicit crying, half finished tattoos or even the customer passing out. This could just be more than you may be able to handle. All of these purple areas are considered by most to be the most painful areas to be tattooed. The stretchy or thin skin over bone are slow to tattoo, some of these may require multiple sessions to achieve solid colour and smooth shading. Healing can be just as painful as receiving the tattoo and may require a few days off from your regular activities.

SOME USEFUL TIPS WHEN GETTING A TATTOO:

�Women are your more sensitive the week prior to and during your cycle. Plan around those dates to have the best experience possible when getting your tattoo.
�Use lotion everyday on the area to be tattooed at least 1 week prior for healthier skin and better results.
�Do not go out in the sun at least one week prior to being tattooed (including tanning beds) This drys the skin and if peeling occurs could damage the tattoo.
�Consider what you will wear for 2 weeks while healing if your tattoo is in an area like the foot, waist, shoulders or chest. Shoes, waistbands, belts, underwear, and bras can all damage tattoos if you do not plan ahead. Find comfortable clothing that will not touch or rub during this time.
�Always eat a good meal before being tattooed and drink plenty of fluids.
�Be sure to get a good nights rest before your appointment.
�Ask what kind of aftercare products you will need when you set up to get your tattoo.
�Mention any allergies you may have, pigments, dyes, perfumes.
�Some medication may thin your blood, check with your doctor before being tattooed.
�Anyone with an autoimmune disorder needs to check with their doctor and should bring a note to be tattooed.

How painful is an ankle tattoo?

Q. I've only had one tattoo, and it's on my right upper back / shoulder blade area. It wasn't bad at all, kinda like a cat scratching me with a vibrating claw. I'd like to get a second tattoo, on the outer side of my right ankle, just about the ankle bone. Can someone tell me how much more painful that location will be, relative to the one I've already gotten? Thanks!

how much does a tattoo hurt?

Can anyone tell me more about becoming a nudist?

Q. I am interested in this lifestyle. I dont always feel the best in clothes. People stress modesty so much in this world, and I believe that us human beings should get used to each other's bodies instead of separating or hiding it. Are people with less than perfect bodies, or tattooed people accepted too?

A. You're absolutely right that people put too much emphasis on modesty. Society treats the nude body as something to be embarrassed and ashamed of, while at the same time treating it as a titillating and exciting thing that everyone wants to see (which is why near-nudity and sex appeal is so often used in advertising). It creates a very mixed message that has led to people being nearly dysfunctional when it comes to matters of nudity and body parts. I agree that people should get used to nude bodies (their own and that of others) as something that's perfectly natural and comfortable.

Among the naturist/nudist community, people of all body shapes/styles/forms are accepted no matter how perfect or imperfect they are. I've even read of post-mastectomy women with one breast and a lot of scars being accepted and feeling comfortable among nudists. People with tattoos are also very much accepted; an individual tattoo may not be accepted if it's blatantly offensive, however, but that goes for all of society and not just nudists. What makes a person accepted or not accepted is whether or not he/she is a nice person. A douchebag is a douchebag whether naked or clothed, and someone who is nice and friendly remains that way whether naked or clothed. About the only cosmetic thing that commonly isn't accepted is genital piercings because it draws unnecessary attention to the genitals, but that may be more of a rule of naturist resorts rather than the community overall.

If you feel more comfortable without clothes then by all means, go without clothes as much as possible. When the temperature is warm enough to be comfortable or is just plain hot, clothing serves no logical purpose. Once you feel comfortable enough with nudity, either alone or with your significant other, and you'd like to venture into social nudity, look into naturist resorts or nude beaches in your area where you can get out and meet people who share your interest. Have fun!

Original Question

Do the Valtrex commercials make you as angry as they make me?

Q. They are pretty much saying if you take our medication you can have sex with whoever you want and you wont give them herpes. This really scares me. I dont want a valtrex takin ho to have sex with me and not tell me she has herpes because she thinks she cant give it to me. People with STDs should be forced to get a tattoo above their privates that tells what disease they have so anyone who is about to go down under knows.

A. Obviously you need some education. Herpes affects 1 in 5 men and 1 in 4 women. Chances are if you've slept with 4 people you have been exposed. Approximately 80% of those that have herpes don't know it and the test for herpes is NOT a part of normal std screenings. Many that say they are "clean" are not.

Many of the people that have herpes got them from partners that did NOT disclose. Studies have shown that you are safer with someone that KNOWS they have herpes and takes suppressives, uses condoms and avoids sex during outbreaks than sleeping with the general public. Oh, and make sure you don't have oral sex with anyone that has coldsores because that is Herpes (HSV1) and many of the new cases of genital herpes are coming from oral sex. Just because you don't see a coldsore doesn't mean the other person isn't contagious...there is something called asymptomatic shedding.

The commercial states that it lowers the risk....and before you say much more perhaps you better go and get tested for herpes....you could be part of the 80%.
