Th...Infection is not much of an issue in this area. There are certain rules that one must follow: wise to wear underwear or sit on a towel when sitting on furniture where pets are, don't swim in dirty lake water during healing, cleaning twice daily, avoiding contact with other people's bodily fluids during healing time, wear clean underwear, laundry your clothing and sheets frequently, etc. The placement of the piercing is actually an assert - it is in an area that is rich in blood flow, so it actually heals much faster than other piercings on the body. Also, since it is going through a flap of skin, rather than just being a surface piercing, this also helps. Additionally, these piercings generally stay well protected during their healing time (provided that you wear clothing). So infection is of little issue with some minor precautions. In fact, if the pierced person is feeling up to it (and proper precautions are taken), sexual activity can be engaged in the day the piercing is received. I have not done this myself, so I cannot attest to it, though.autogatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301654223433605633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13593970.post-1145503578727122662006-04-19T23:26:00.000-04:002006-04-19T23:26:00.000-04:00I really don't see that much attractive about them...I really don't see that much attractive about them, except for the one that I downloaded for the beginning of the post. In fact, they are actually painful to look at, but I have a more squeamish nature than I would sometimes like to admit. Mainly, though, I would worry about the threat of infection.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13593970.post-1145328782909671782006-04-17T22:53:00.000-04:002006-04-17T22:53:00.000-04:00The pictures are fascinating.

Glad you enjoyed the post, and thanks for the link. <BR/><BR/>Another aspect of body art, both piercing and tattooing, is the utilization of various techniques as a ritualistic tool. For spiritual, ritualistic, and even for magical practices. <BR/><BR/>The magical implications of vaginal modification-oh hell,I hate that sterile term-of tatooed and/or pierced pussies, then,would be obvious-fertility, sexuality, love, etc. Still, it's a subject that is rarely addressed. In fact, I didn't address it myself, but I may well do so in a later post.<BR/><BR/>Now, it turns out that you are into it too. Yes, that is interesting. I'm very glad you stopped by, and hope to see more of you. Yes, I am being a smart ass, but I do mean that in a good way as well. Just to let you know, I am at this point only updating once a week, for now, it's a way I have of being able to devote more time to other projects and at the same time I still end up posting about the same amount of posts per week as I do when posting every day.<BR/><BR/>Also, I am in the process of putting together a Blog Roll, and yours will definitely be on it. I have been planning it for some time but I have had a hard time finding enough blogs that are of consistent quality and regular updating. Yours is one of the few I found that fits the bill, but I have found enough that it should be ready before too long.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, talk to you later, I hope.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13593970.post-1145071045731088772006-04-14T23:17:00.000-04:002006-04-14T23:17:00.000-04:00Ah, funny I should visit your blog is this be the ...Ah, funny I should visit your blog is this be the first thing I see. I'm very interested in such things. I must say, that is a very lovely photograph and my compliments to the artist! I recommend checking out www.ringsofdesire.com. Angel is shut the business down to move to Mexico and open a business there. If you're ever in that neck of the woods, I highly recommend her services.<BR/><BR/>While it may seem unfathomable to some to have this kind of work done, to others it is beautiful and symbolic. I, myself, as well as some clients I work with, have used these types of body modifications therapeutically - to symbolize important events or transitions or to memorialize lost loved ones. It can be very beautiful, yet easily misunderstood. If one goes to the literature and searches for empirical articles on body modification, one will find articles on the psychopathological correlates of the practice. Unfortunately, there is very little available on the positive aspects of the practice - how healthy people can do it for healthy reasons. I think that some of the new outlets about the practice in the media are helping to change the tide.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to find that you are able to find this lovely now! Congratulations! Welcome!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for dropping by the blog. I enjoyed your post. Big time.<BR/><BR/>Coincidence? No, I don't think so. There was some meaning in this timing!autogatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301654223433605633noreply@blogger.com
