We promise you won’t regret it.

[01:12] [Ed] So what is a Prince Albert, or a PA?
Well, there’s lots of general piercings.
I don’t want to talk about the other ones.
I’m going to talk specifically about the Prince Albert.
If you want to know more about other piercings, the internet’s an amazing place.
The Prince Albert is a piercing that goes through the urethra and down through the bottom
of the penis.
So there’s a hole, basically, in the bottom of your penis, up into the urethral canal.
Now, there’s a reverse Prince Albert, which does the same thing, but it goes through
up through the top, through the meteor part of the penis.
So a regular Prince Albert goes through the thinner skin down on the bottom.
There’s lots of different urban legends about where this came from, why it was named after
Prince Albert.

[02:08] [Unknown] And Prince Albert, for those of you who don’t know, was the Prince at the time of Queen Victoria.

[02:15] [Ed] So quite a while ago, urban legends, which have been mostly debunked.
Some people thought that it was a chastity device.
You could kind of restrain the penis by tying it out of the way so that it couldn’t be
used or chaining it or straining it in some way.
And then the other belief was that it held the foreskin back.
So for better hygiene, most people, most scholars have debunked a lot of that and believed
that it’s mostly because Prince Albert wore really tight pants that were fashionable at

[02:49] [Unknown] the time.

[02:50] [Ed] And he wanted to be able to tie his penis down one leg, the leg that was his preferred fashion
side.
It was almost entirely for aesthetic or fashion reasons for having the piercing.
Fascinating.

[03:06] [Unknown] Yeah.

[03:07] [Phoebe] So what are the benefits for getting one?

[03:11] [Ed] Well, you get added stimulation through the hole and through the urethra on the shaft
of the penis and your partner gets little beads that rub on the insides of their parts.
So if it’s a vagina, then it could rub on the clit or when it’s going in or on the

[03:37] [Unknown] g-spot.

[03:40] [Ed] And we don’t know much about anal play with beads, but we are curious for anybody who plays
anal play with a Prince Albert if they can let us know what that’s like.

[03:55] [Phoebe] Yeah.
Do you even wear one for that type of play and if you do, what does it feel like?

[04:02] [Ed] Exactly.
So call us or email us, let us know.

[04:06] [Unknown] Exactly.

[04:07] [Ed] I will say that certain positions work better.
So for example, a traditional PA, the bead would be out the bottom, the ring would kind
of hang down, which would mean positions like doggy where your partner’s facing away
from you for vaginal penetration would be better because the bead would rub on the g-spot
and kind of all of those anterior nerves.
But if you had a reverse PA, then flipper over and the g-spot and everything’s up on the
top where the ball is.
So different positions, it’s going to feel different and some of them are going to be

[04:44] [Unknown] better and others for the piercing.

[04:47] [Ed] It’s visually appealing.

[04:49] [Phoebe] Uh-huh.
I agree.
It’s one of my favorite visual piercings.

[04:55] [Unknown] Yeah.

[04:56] [Ed] It stands out when you’re walking around naked, this kind of a fishing board is dangling
around on the front and it does draw attention.
It’s shiny, it’s sparkly, it glints and it’s an usual too.

[05:16] [Phoebe] And people see it and go, what is going on?

[05:19] [Ed] I have to get really close.

[05:20] [Unknown] Yeah, or touch it.

[05:25] [Ed] You can get different rings and bent barbells for a different visual appeal.
I’ll hold them up here and I’ll show you a close-up of them.
So you can get something that’s like a bent barbell, which is more like a ring shape

[05:42] [Unknown] or a slightly less bent barbell, which doesn’t dangle as much and it’s kind of more tucked
up.

[05:52] [Phoebe] Right.
Really, the only the ball ends a show outside the skin and the bar itself is hidden inside.

[06:00] [Ed] And then this is another one.
This one’s kind of fun.
This is a captured segment ring and this one’s very smooth and very streamlined and then

[06:08] [Phoebe] you don’t get the balls in the way, kind of tucks everything up out of the way.

[06:12] [Ed] And it’s like I said, it’s very, very smooth.

[06:15] [Phoebe] And you use a special tool for that one.

[06:17] [Ed] Yeah, and you have to use pliers, reverse pliers to get those on and off.
There’s also ones that you can get.
So if you’re into sounding and inserting things inside the urethra for urethral play,
you can get basically a rod, a stainless steel rod with a bead on the bottom of it.
So you basically feed this thing inside the penis and then you thread the rod in and
then that sounding rod is stuck inside.
It’s not going to slide out.
So you would wear it for an extended period of time.

[06:54] [Phoebe] So you would have to have this piercing in order for that particular sounding rod to work
correct, because it doesn’t come out the end of the penis.

[07:03] [Ed] It comes out that urethra down below, yes, that extra bead is intentionally designed
to intersect with that hole and lock it in place.
Fascinating.

[07:16] [Phoebe] So many questions.

[07:17] [Ed] Yeah.

[07:18] [Unknown] Very.

[07:19] [Phoebe] That’s another time.

[07:20] [Ed] That’s a whole other thing.

[07:21] [Unknown] And I haven’t actually played with any kind of sounding stuff.

[07:28] [Ed] Let’s talk about the procedure a little bit in terms of what it felt like to get it done

[07:32] [Unknown] and the healing.
It’s pretty quick.

[07:36] [Ed] It usually takes anywhere from two to four weeks, if you heal quickly, sometimes it can
take longer.
It can take up to eight weeks.
So depending on how quickly you heal, genitals heal very quickly in general, but different people
heal at different rates.
So be prepared to be basically out of commission for up to eight weeks.
You can’t have sex while you’re healing.
The extra pressure and tearing will irritate the skin.
It won’t heal properly.
It’ll get infected.

[08:12] [Unknown] Bad things happen.

[08:14] [Ed] Just don’t do it.

[08:15] [Unknown] Just wait.

[08:16] [Ed] There’ll be plenty of time to play with it later.
Cleaning it on a pretty regular basis while it’s healing.
And you’ll probably start with a smaller gauge piercing and then stretch up to a larger
gauge.
And I’ll talk a little bit about that with with my experience.

[08:32] [Phoebe] What are the downsides for somebody that?
Is considering this.

[08:37] [Ed] Some partners don’t even notice that you have the ring in.

[08:40] [Phoebe] Yeah.
Me.
Well, I notice it.

[08:43] [Unknown] It’s just not pleasurable.

[08:46] [Ed] Either your partner won’t notice or it might annoy them.

[08:51] [Unknown] So that’s one downside, teeth and jewelry.
So banging a stainless steel ring on your teeth, yeah, that’s, that’s bad.
And if you’ve got expensive dental work, ceramic crowns, our retainers, permanent retainers

[09:13] [Ed] on the inside of your mouth, yeah, that’s a bad combination of things.

[09:17] [Phoebe] Maybe you have a small mouth, maybe your partner’s very large, challenging.

[09:22] [Ed] It can happen.
I have heard the most obvious thing.

[09:26] [Unknown] It can hurt having a stainless steel needle forced through the skin in your penis, but

[09:33] [Ed] they numb for that stuff.
They some piercers do and some don’t mind did wait, what piercers wouldn’t give you the

[09:42] [Unknown] option though?

[09:43] [Phoebe] You think ethically they have to give you the option.

[09:46] [Ed] I know that there are some piercers who are purists and it’s all about the experience and
you know, the the endorphin rush of of having a piercing done, right?
It’s a very quick procedure.
It’s a single hole zips at zoom, Wang, they knock the spike through and they put
push the ring through and then it’s just healing time.

[10:08] [Unknown] You said it was a smaller ring, so then the one that you have, now the ring that they
put in is that thick enough to be to to heal and not push out.

[10:21] [Ed] So I got pierced, if I remember right, with a 10 gauge hoop, which is a pretty substantial
hoop.
I mean, this isn’t like a hoop earring.
Another aspect of that is the diameter of the rings, depending on the shape of your
penis and the size of your head, the ring size diameter wise changes because it’s a particular
curve to fit properly.
Oh, which is a whole other thing in terms of like buying jewelry, you’ve got to get the
right size.

[10:45] [Phoebe] So when you don’t lean your dick up on top of the jewelry counter trying to match the
bar to the size of the shape of your penis, how are you supposed to?

[10:54] [Ed] The piercer will help you figure that out, yeah.
When you got to see the dick, guaranteed the piercer will see your penis when they’re
piercing you.

[11:02] [Phoebe] They’re not going to do it blindfolded.
They look at it, they, you go in, you say, I want the bar and then they have their little
tray of lengths and angles.
And so when you’re looking at your penis and then they realize which one that’s going
to want the best.

[11:16] [Ed] And they’ll probably use calipers and measure and get you the right size.
Interesting.

[11:21] [Phoebe] Yeah.
Okay, wait.
So where I was going was when you get your ears pierced, you get pierced a size larger until
they heal.
Right.
Because the ears shrink a little bit.
And then your normal earring is smaller, smaller gauge.

[11:34] [Ed] Yeah.
So this is different opposite.
So what they do, especially with softer tissues, they pierce with a smaller needle and then
they push a slightly larger ring through so that the ring puts pressure on the skin and
basically seals the wound.
So you don’t, you don’t bleed as much.

[11:52] [Unknown] So if they use the same size, it would be kind of a rough fit, a sloppy fit.

[11:59] [Ed] And the jewelry wouldn’t basically seal up that edge, so it kind of works like a suction
cup, right?
That open skin on that smooth stainless steel surface.

[12:07] [Phoebe] Right.
Otherwise, I’d have a hard time stopping the bleeding.

[12:10] [Ed] Yeah.
And you don’t want random bleeding from that particular part of your body.
There’s a lot of blood flow down there.
And yeah, that would be bad.

[12:20] [Phoebe] That makes a lot of sense.

[12:21] [Unknown] Yeah.

[12:22] [Phoebe] Yeah.
So wait, I have one more question.
Certainly.
You’ve got pierced, it’s sealing off the blood.
At what point do you get to spin it?
Because at some point, you have to spin it to clean it.

[12:35] [Unknown] Yeah.

[12:36] [Ed] That’s, so as it heals, the little scab kind of forms the tissue, it gets stuck to the
ring.
That’s kind of hurt.
That’s why when you get in the shower, you let the warm water run over everything.
It loosens up that tissue and you can move the ring around a little bit.

[12:55] [Unknown] And you want to keep it moving so that it doesn’t hurt, crust up because if you tear

[13:02] [Ed] that, that really hurts.

[13:04] [Unknown] Got it.

[13:06] [Phoebe] That makes sense.
Yeah.

[13:08] [Ed] And the cleaning solution that they’ll provide for you or, you know, that’ll be in the
aftercare kit will also help with that, too, kind of loosens up the tissue and lets
things slide around.

[13:18] [Unknown] All right.

[13:20] [Phoebe] What’s the other downside to this?

[13:23] [Ed] It’s a surgical procedure.
It’s a needle through a part of your body that has a lot of nerve endings.
There’s a possibility that you do nerve damage.
So if you talk to some women who’ve had breast augmentation, you can have some nerve damage
and you lose sensation in your nipples.
Well, you might actually lose sensation in your penis.
Thankfully, that did not happen with my piercing.
Probably the quality of the piercer that I got my piercing from, but also the location
and probably some genetics in terms of where the nerves were running at the time.
There’s always an increased risk of infections.
You now have another hole.
It’s not normal.
So there’s another place for infections to occur, especially when it’s healing or if there’s
damage to that.
So if you’ve been extra vigorous and you tear a little bit, you could hurt it and introduce
an infection there.
And this is the real big one in terms of infections.
The rings are not as friendly towards condoms.

[14:34] [Unknown] So if you’re wearing condoms in the lifestyle, the ring may actually damage the condom and

[14:39] [Ed] cause it to break, which opens you up to STIs.
So something to be cautious of, something to be extra careful with watching the condoms
to make sure that they don’t break.

[14:52] [Unknown] Right.

[14:53] [Ed] All right, we need your help so that your community, the very one you love and have so
much fun with, can also find our show.

how good our content is or how long we’ve been around.
It only cares about ratings and reviews.
We’d appreciate it and your community will really appreciate it.

[15:54] [Unknown] Thanks for listening.

[15:59] [Phoebe] What about rejection and UTIs?

[16:04] [Ed] Yep, all of that too.
You’ve got a foreign object.
You’ve got bacteria that’s being introduced.
If you don’t clean it thoroughly or regularly, there’s always a chance to get bacteria

[16:15] [Unknown] up there.

[16:17] [Phoebe] And that’s not good.
Do people’s bodies reject the piercing?
If it’s done right, shouldn’t it not reject the piercing?

[16:27] [Ed] Think it really depends on your genetic makeup, your anatomy.
I know of a number of people who’ve had facial piercings that migrate out.
I know people who’ve had nipple piercings that have been rejected or migrate out.
It’s 100% how your body deals with foreign objects.
Mine’s been fine.
I’ve not had any problems with my piercings, although my nipple piercings used to get
infected pretty regularly, which is why I don’t have them anymore.
But the Prince Albert has been great in terms of healing and infections.
No, I’ve never had an infection at all.

[17:11] [Phoebe] What about jewelry, collisions, or entanglements?

[17:14] [Unknown] That is that.

[17:15] [Ed] Yeah.
So, if you’re a person who likes piercings, you may have a partner who also likes piercings
and having piercings get tangled up together, mouth piercings, and Prince Albert piercings,
or general piercings getting tangled up, it can happen.

[17:35] [Phoebe] We’ve got rings that are touching other rings and be careful because you don’t want to

[17:42] [Unknown] tear a ring out or hurt something.
No rough play with general piercings, or play that way, but expect that there may be consequences
for this.

[17:59] [Ed] As we talked about with the teeth, that’s another type of jewelry collision that can happen.
Right.

[18:05] [Unknown] And you just need to be careful.

[18:06] [Phoebe] So what’s your number one downside for you personally?

[18:11] [Ed] Yeah.
Okay.

[18:13] [Unknown] This one’s a little funny.

[18:15] [Ed] Gentlemen, you may have to learn to sit down more frequently.
So to pee, to pee, you’ve basically punched an extra urethra in the bottom of your penis.

[18:29] [Unknown] So you now have a leaky robot.

[18:33] [Ed] With the jewelry in, you’ll get the stream out the front and you’ll get a dribble out
the bottom.
So you’ve got to make sure that you’re standing over the ball.

[18:42] [Unknown] If you don’t have your ring in, sometimes it will be more than a dribble out the bottom.

[18:50] [Phoebe] My God.

[18:51] [Ed] And it can be quite messy and I don’t have to get into the graphic details, but it can
be all over the place.
So be prepared to clean up after yourself or just sit down.

[19:05] [Phoebe] That way it’s not like literally it’s getting on your, your, your thighs and your feet,
the kind of messy.

[19:10] [Ed] It can.
Yeah.
On your shoes, on the bowl, on the floor.

[19:15] [Unknown] Yeah.

[19:16] [Ed] Okay.
It dribbles everywhere because it’s not a steady stream.

[19:21] [Phoebe] That’s a big downside for me, I would say.

[19:25] [Ed] Well, as an example, I mean, you pee in the woods and it’s not a controllable stream.
It just kind of comes out.
It’s exactly like that.

[19:36] [Phoebe] Yeah.
Sometimes I pee on my feet.
Sometimes I pee on my pants.

[19:41] [Ed] Because you can’t really, it’s not a controllable stream.
So that, that amazing skill that men have to stand two feet from a toilet bowl and just
hit the bowl, you are compromising that accuracy.
Interesting.

[19:58] [Phoebe] You will not be a sharpshooter anymore.

[20:00] [Unknown] And even when you take it out that hole after, I mean, you could not have a piercing in

[20:05] [Phoebe] for years.
The hole is somewhat closed, but it’s not sealed.
And you will still have.

[20:12] [Ed] Yeah, that’s true for me.
I don’t know if that’s true for everybody.
I know.
If some people like their earrings will close up, I’ve gone years without putting jewelry
in my Prince Albert and it has not closed up.
I can still put a 10 gauge in there.

[20:31] [Unknown] And then within 24 hours, it’ll stretch out enough to be able to put the six gauge back
in.

[20:38] [Ed] Interesting.
Yeah, it just stays open.
Now for the most part, the dribbling part, if I haven’t had jewelry in for a long time,
isn’t a thing, but everyone’s a while that will surprise you and you will have to clean

[20:54] [Unknown] up.
Oh, my God.
So yeah.

[20:57] [Phoebe] Okay.
So let’s get into, you’ve made this decision, right?
You want to do it.

[21:06] [Unknown] Yes.

[21:07] [Phoebe] And how do you go about finding the right piercer?
Yeah.
Is it really, is it pretty easy nowadays or what?

[21:13] [Ed] There’s probably more piercers than when I first done it.
I think getting piercings was pretty new at the time.
I’m sure it’s been around for a long time, but they weren’t as commonplace.
There’s piercers all over the place and tattoo shops all over the place.

[21:29] [Phoebe] I don’t think people wore gloves when I was getting tattoos that I don’t even know if
they’re cleaning their machines that it was talked about, but they, that was bad.

[21:41] [Unknown] There was really no restrictions rules, you know?
That’s some, that is some country craziness right there.

[21:55] [Phoebe] So now pretty much when you walk into any piercings tattoo shop, they’re very clean.
It’s, they get the little trays, like the gloves and the, the, that swabs and the, and that’s

[22:04] [Ed] one of the important things to look at is if you go into a shop, you’re going to interview
the piercer.
You’re going to talk to them about how long they’ve been doing it, how long have they
been in business, you know, are all their licenses up to date?
They should have their license posted.
There’s health, yeah, health inspections that are done pretty regularly and check their
reputation online.
Almost every shop is in Yelp and you’ll be able to read reviews and see how, how reputable
they are and what, you know, in general, what people’s expectations were and whether they

[22:38] [Unknown] were met.

[22:40] [Ed] And like I said, cleanliness is really important, especially with something like this.
You do not want it to get infected.
You don’t want it to be done improperly.

[22:48] [Phoebe] So yeah, check out the shop and ask around, ask your, you know, your friends or your
buddies.

[22:54] [Unknown] Absolutely.

[22:56] [Ed] You also want to get down, get the rundown on cost from them, how much is it, how much
is the jewelry and the service to get the piercing done?
What are the recommendations for, you know, healing for a length of time, after care, the
size of the jewelry that you should start with and also the recommended final size.
Have a conversation with them, how big do you want the jewelry to be when it’s all healed
up and you’re prancing around with your shiny new Prince Albert?

[23:27] [Unknown] Right.
So before we go into your story and why you decided to go to wake up one day and go, I think

[23:35] [Phoebe] I want to shove a hole in my penis.
I will say my experience with the Prince Albert, which is with you because I had never had
that experience with anybody else was, was okay, okay to like not okay, okay to somewhat
uncomfortable, depending on which jewelry you put in, right?
It didn’t offer me any extra clictoral stimulation or G-spot stimulation.
It didn’t turn on bells or whistles for me.
What the annoying part was the hardness of mostly the horseshoe, I believe because it’s
very heavy and it’s larger.
If you like a glass dildo that you would probably like the horseshoe piercing.
Right.
I don’t like it.
It’s too hard for me.
But if you like that, you might really enjoy that.
So again, it really depends on the person and what their body likes, right?
What their nerve endings are like.

[24:40] [Ed] Now I’ll say it’s quite the ordeal to go through to just try it out to see if you’ll like
it.
Yeah.
But that’s about as good as it gets.
Or you find somebody who has the piercing to be able to try it out and you go, oh honey,
you should get one of these because it’s fabulous.
Right.
But then is he going to like it?

[24:59] [Unknown] Who knows?

[25:00] [Phoebe] So you’re in your 20s and you magically wake up one day and go, I’m going to shove a
hole in my piece.

[25:06] [Unknown] I was going through a phase where a body modification was a thing.

[25:15] [Ed] My partner at the time had tattoos.
I wanted to get my ears pierced and I actually got my nipples pierced before I got my ears
pierced, which is hilarious and did the nipples.
And then I decided that I wanted to get a print Albert and I did it because I was nervous
about getting a permanent tattoo and I knew I could take the jewelry out.
In general, that’s why I went the piercing route instead of the tattoos and it’s cheaper
and it’s cheaper.
Much cheaper.
And it takes 20 minutes to get it done versus hour sitting in a chair like it’s less

[25:56] [Phoebe] painful.

[25:57] [Ed] It’s like super fast, super easy.
And honestly, I’d hoped it would feel really good.
I’m like, oh, extra stimulation on the penis.
Okay.
I’ll try that.
I just heard that it was going to be magical and sex was going to feel better.
So I said, all right, I’ll give it a try.
I mean, theoretically, it’s stimulating all the nerves in that part of the penis and
it makes sense.
And it does.
It does increase sensation.
It’s just different than what I had expected.

[26:34] [Phoebe] So like on a scale of 1 to 10, how much increased sensation?

[26:39] [Ed] It’s different kind of sensation.
So I’ll say it that way.
I wouldn’t say it increased it to the point of it’s easier to orgasm or it’s, you know,
puts me over the top.
It’s just a different kind of sensation.

[26:58] [Unknown] Got it.

[26:59] [Ed] It feels different.
Kind of like you have different kinds of orgasms.
You have different kinds of orgasms with a prince of Albert.

[27:08] [Phoebe] So you could have just asked someone to give you a hand job with a calf skin glove versus
a raw high glove and you would have two different kinds of stimulation.

[27:19] [Ed] Yeah.
But also that would have still been different.
And I think at the time, it sounded like a good idea.

[27:28] [Phoebe] That’s true.
And with it being popular at the time, I guess, that was a thing.

[27:35] [Ed] And for me, you know, they used a little bit of light of cane.
It didn’t hurt that much, getting it done, it healed relatively quickly for me.

[27:44] [Unknown] And like I said, I like the look of it too.

[27:48] [Ed] And that was the other appeal that I found of it.
It was pretty, pretty cool.

[27:53] [Unknown] Hmm.

[27:55] [Phoebe] Well, if you want to hear all about Ed’s PA and how it’s gotten him into trouble, head over

[28:00] [Unknown] to the podcast to hear the full story.

[28:04] [Ed] Sexy story.

[28:05] [Unknown] Sexy story time with Ed.
So I have two stories that involve the prince Albert and the first one is probably the least
expected one, but it really does speak to the power of curiosity with people.
Yes.

[28:29] [Ed] Yes.

[28:30] [Unknown] So I’m at a vanilla Christmas party, okay, that’s already interesting.

[28:39] [Ed] It was close friends of my current wife at the time and mine and some of them actually
happened to be related to her cousins of hers.
So these were people we hung out with all the time.
Well, they knew we were into piercings and tattoos and all that kind of stuff.
And so one of the ladies was very curious about what it looked like when they found out.

[29:05] [Phoebe] Of course, it’s Christmas, so it’s that people are celebrating and drinking.

[29:09] [Ed] People are drinking inhibitions are lowered.
Can I see your piercing?

[29:15] [Unknown] And you know what?

[29:17] [Ed] I’m not one to refuse a lady who wants to see my penis.
So I walked over to the couch and I unzipped my pants and lowered my underwear and tada.

[29:32] [Unknown] There was the piercing.

[29:34] [Ed] They were fascinated and I gave them all the angles and described it and kind of moved
the ring around so they could get a really, really clear picture of what was going

[29:45] [Phoebe] on.
Oh, and how many people were standing around you at this point?

[29:49] [Ed] 10.
Let’s see, there would have been, I think they were 20.
Three women, I think the men all averted their eyes because they were too pained to see
what was going on.
But yeah, my ex-wife and two of the other ladies were definitely interested in checking

[30:08] [Unknown] it out.

[30:10] [Phoebe] Very fun.

[30:11] [Ed] Yeah.

[30:13] [Unknown] Strictly visual at the time, like I said, it was a vanilla party, but you know, even

[30:20] [Ed] even the vanilla’s want to see it, it’s that kind of a, a fishing lure.

[30:24] [Phoebe] Oh, I know.
There’s been some crazy stuff going down at vanilla parties.
I mean, you think you’re at the swing your party, but it’s really the vanilla party.

[30:33] [Ed] No, those vanilla’s get crazy too.

[30:35] [Unknown] Yes.

[30:36] [Ed] The second story was on our first lifestyle crew, we were on the Bliss Crews, and I was dressed
in my four moles, so I was wearing my kilt, and I was wearing a regimental style, and
we walked up to some friends of ours who were sitting in the coffee bar, and she was

[30:53] [Unknown] very excited because I was wearing kilt, and so she asked the inevitable question, which

[30:58] [Ed] is, what are you wearing under your kilt?
And I said, well, I can’t tell you, you have to find out for yourself.
This was a swing or event, so she was more than happy to check under the kilt, right?

[31:11] [Unknown] But I did warn her that there was a surprise there, which kind of took her back a little

[31:17] [Ed] bit.
She hesitated for a second, and then she very timidly reached her hand up in there, and
when she felt the jewelry, she pulled her hand back very quickly, not knowing what it was.
But once again, curiosity got the better of her, and she decided she was going to have
a more thorough inspection of the site, just to make sure that she felt what she thought
she felt.
And yeah, that was fun.
She may have peaked under there, too, just to see what she was checking out.
So yeah, the prince Albert will get you attention, and potentially a little bit of fun.

[31:57] [Phoebe] Did you wear it at the local Newd Resort as well?
Once maybe?

[32:03] [Ed] I may have, although I think they have sent banned jewelry, general jewelry.
That’s true.
So I don’t know if I could aim more, but I think I did.
Now that you mention it, and I have worn it on, I did wear it at the cruise at the pool
one time, too, to get attention, because it does.

[32:25] [Phoebe] People are like, what?
Right.
And when men wear the cock rings, the fancy ones, the silver, they’re like snake snakes,
or there’s so many amazing types.
It’s very attention grabbing, or gorgeous, definitely.
I like it.
I really do.

[32:44] [Unknown] Yeah.

[32:45] [Phoebe] So, yeah, if you could go back in time, would you do that again?

[32:50] [Ed] Well, I’m not sure I would.
I’m not sure I’d do it again for the peeing reason, but also just it didn’t do for me,
or my partners, what I had expected it to do.
I expected more bang for it.
And none of my partners have been over the moon about it.
They’ve never just raved about it.

[33:17] [Unknown] It’s never been a thing.

[33:21] [Ed] So, yeah, no extra orgasms, nothing fancy, no tall, right.
It does add a little extra stimulation, but that comes with some irritation, and sometimes
some pain, and especially when the barbell slides up to your ethra, and you get a ball

[33:46] [Unknown] up your ethra, and then the little thing is dangling on the bottom.
It can really leverage on that hole, and it can hurt, you know, really hurt.

[34:00] [Ed] Now, you can help with that a little bit by wearing a condom, which kind of keeps the
jewelry tucked in, but it also kind of tucks it in, and you’re wearing it with a condom.

[34:10] [Unknown] So, if you’re playing with your primary partner, or you play bear back, that condom is not

[34:17] [Ed] what you’re in it for.
It’s not the best, not the best deal.

[34:22] [Phoebe] We just need our listeners that have different types of jewelry, a Prince Albert Hall, with
maybe different type of joy that will fit that type of piercing, to email us, call us

[34:37] [Unknown] whatever, and let us know if there’s something different that we haven’t seen that is pleasurable

[34:44] [Phoebe] for them and their partner, because I’m open to trying other things.
Maybe there’s something, a softer material, or a different shape.

[34:54] [Ed] Different shape.

[34:55] [Unknown] Yeah.

[34:56] [Ed] Something.
Yeah.
So, if you do know of a type of jewelry, or a particular attachment that works really
well for you and your partner, yeah, let us know.
I’d love to hear about it.

[35:07] [Unknown] I’d be down to buy some jewelry and give it a shot.

[35:11] [Ed] Me, too.

[35:12] [Unknown] I like experimenting.

[35:18] [Ed] So after hearing all this, and you’re still considering a Prince Albert, do your own
research, especially for a piercer, and consider the pros and cons, and how they match up with

[35:29] [Unknown] your playstyle.

[35:32] [Ed] This piercing is not for everyone, but it may be just what you’re looking for.

[35:38] [Phoebe] Be sure to tune in for our next episodes where we will be in Costa Rica during our lifestyle
resort takeover.
You won’t want to miss all the excitement, especially if you aren’t going to be with us.
