5 piercings that can change your sex life

Jewelry is meant to be shown off, right? A necklace around your neck, rings around your fingers – all designed to be seen. That rule doesn’t apply to these five piercings. They may sparkle just as beautifully as the rest of your jewelry box, but they also come into play once your clothes come off. Time to get acquainted with the piercings that do more than simply look good.

1. VCH, the all-rounder
The vertical clitoral hood piercing is the most popular intimate piercing in the world, and that’s no coincidence. This jewelry rests against your clitoris practically around the clock, so walking, bending over, sitting – suddenly everything becomes a little more exciting. And the effect is even stronger during sex. Not every body is suited to this piercing, so have an experienced piercer check first whether you’re one of the lucky ones.

2. Nipple piercing, because nipples deserve more attention
Once healed, your nerve endings often become more sensitive, turning what used to be a gentle touch into a serious stimulus. The nipple moves from a supporting to a leading role, which it has actually deserved all along.

3. Prince Albert, the boy model
This piercing passes through the underside of the glans towards the urethra and is the classic for men. It adds extra pressure and extra friction, and a completely different sensation for the partner during penetration or oral sex. It does require patience and specialist care while healing; so this one isn’t for the impatient piercing fan.

4. Triangle piercing, for depth
This one goes horizontally beneath the base of the clitoris, exactly where the internal legs meet. The result: stimulation that you feel from within, rather than only on the surface. Not everybody is anatomically suited for it, so look for a piercer who is really experienced in this.

5. Christina piercing, the silent pleasure
Placed at the top of your mons, where your labia meet. Functionally, the least intense of the five, but the jewelry provides a constant, gentle pressure that you can feel during sex, and even in tight clothing. It’s especially loved for its optical effect: a subtle sparkling secret that is only revealed at the right moment.

Whatever you choose: go to someone who has specific experience with intimate piercings, take the healing time seriously before getting back into action, and accept that your body may not be suited to all five variants. If one turns you into an orgasm machine while another simply remains a beautiful jewelry piece – both are worth it.
