I'm planning on getting my clit hood done by the start of summer.

As for what I've gathered regarding arousal, having something stuck through your hood (or behind the clit, or through it...) definitely helps, though some people "adjust" after a few months, and feel that they have "lost" sensitivity. I've heard that simply taking out the jewelry brings back full pleasure though!

I've also heard that a piercer who isn't completely sure about what they're doing can cause damage, which is why you only go to a reputable piercer, and personally, I would stay away from actual clitoris piercings, and either get a VCH (vertical clit hood) or a triangle piercing, which goes behind (rather than through) the clit. less

There's a whole myth about desensitization. Anyone who's done any research knows that this only occurs with piercings THROUGH the clitoris, which should only be attempted by serious body mod lovers. These are rarely done, and most knowledgeable piercers will not even do them if you ask. A piercing through the hood won't have any effect on the sensitivity of the area because it doesn't go through the area filled with all those great nerves.

The only way some people might say that they're more sensitive now, which is how I feel personally, is that you have this extra little chilly metal sensation when someone plays with your clit. It's really wonderful. I'd do it again in the heartbeat and I'm NEVER taking that baby out. Men love it, women love it, I love it! It's aesthetically pleasing, safe, and easy to care for because you don't have to care for it!

Be sure to get the numbing stuff. I've felt a lot of pain, but that split second of pain was INTENSE. However, it was only for a quick split second and done. No pain while healing, even when driving home from Berkeley through the hills. It got twisted a couple times, which is just uncomfortable, but after I've had it for a while, it doesn't twist anymore.

The cool thing about this piercing is that it won't close. I mean, after two years, yeah, maybe it'll be closed up, but leave it out for three months and you can come back to it. It might be smaller and take some probing to get it going again, but it'll still be open. It heals really quickly and acts like an ear piercing. They like to stick around.

Source? Well, I have one, and I'm pre-med. I was also really into body mod as a teenager. less

I have a vertical clitoral hood piercing (important to note, my piercing does NOT penetrate the clitoris). After months and months of research, I chose this piercing because of its claim to increase sexual arousal by stimulating more area of the clitoris (ie, not just the pea-shaped bulb, but also providing contact with the clitoral shaft). My piercing is bar-bell styled, which allows it to lay close to my body. Being pierced there was surprisingly comfortable, and the hood skin has deceivingly few nerve endings. I was walking and riding the bus within five minutes of having it done. I've had it for two years now, and it looks like the weight of the small steel balls has slightly (only SLIGHTLY) stretched the area. But upon pulling out the piercing to examine the hood, it looks perfectly normal except for a small hole. I have not noticed any desensitization, and have not regretted it. I'd recommend anyone who's interested in getting one to do some research and be brave! There's something sexy about knowing that you have that piercing. Especially at work in my business attire. It's sexy to know you've got a secret!

Mine healed really fast, in about a week. There wasn't any sign of swelling past the first two hours and no pain or blood involved whatsoever. That area's just really quick to heal. You can try and soak it in salt water, but I don't believe that I did. I'm trying to remember how much care I put into it.. whatever the case, I've had piercings in my nose, cheeks, tongue, belly, ears, all that, but the clit was the easiest and fastest to heal. There's virtually no maintenance, and it always looks great.

As for pain, I got numbed 60% of the way, but when the needle was going through that skin, it hurt like a MOTHERFUCKER. Afterwards, there was nothing. It was like a flash of white and nada. I could touch it, twirl it, whatever, there was no pain. The girl that worked there mentioned that that was pretty common.

Trust me, it's easier than getting your cartilage pierced, and I can tell you right now that you may get your cartilage infected, but you won't get your clit infected. It's seriously that easy and that quick to heal and stay healthy. I say go for it! It's my favourite piercing of them all, plus I mean, it's like having a built in vibe. It's a hard piece of metal that can always hit your clit, and if you're a college girl like me, the boys will appreciate it haha less

I do have to wonder for those of us with metal sensitivities - I use titanium for all of my piercings, and I still get oozy/pus-y in some of my cartilege piercings, sometimes. Is this something that would be common with a clit piercing as well? *curious* Sorry to resurrect a dead post! less
