Genital piercing becoming more common on college campuses
August 04, 2004

A recent Mayo Clinic study showed that genital piercing is
becoming more common with young people on college campuses, moving
into the mainstream of educated youth. In 2002, their survey of
college students revealed that 1% of males and 2.4% of females had
at least one genital piercing. The results were surprising for a
procedure that many felt was relatively unusual and limited to
individuals heavily into body modification.
The Mayo study revealed that this generation’s twenty-something’s
were much more open to a variety of genital piercing procedures,
with women particularly interested in getting the procedure done.
Clitoral hood piercing was the most common, with labia piercing also
very popular.
With the new prevalence in genital piercing, it’s important to
know what is and isn’t a good idea for this kind of piercing.
Because the skin in this area is extra sensitive, you should always
use the highest quality materials to prevent infection. Surgical
steel is your best bet, but there are also some high quality 18K
gold pieces to consider.
Whatever you do, don’t skimp on the quality of the metal when
getting a genital piercing, and avoid crystals and gemstones. These
will cause irritation and can trap bacteria. Proper care and use of
surgical steel, however, means that these piercings are no more
difficult to maintain than most others.
Genital piercing has become popular in particular for the
connection to sexual arousal. Many men and women who have never felt
completely sexually satisfied report that genital piercing has
increased sensitivity and provided incredible sensations that have
changed their sex lives for the better!
