Vertical hood piercings and sexual benefits
January 19, 2005
By: Bob Whitehead
For many people, one motivating factor in getting a genital
piercing is the benefit of added sexual pleasure. After all, getting
pierced in such a sensitive area can be painful and all the sweat
glands in that body region make healing a little more difficult—it
only makes sense to want to benefit from it. Vertical hood piercings
are one example of piercings done to the female genitalia that
enhance sexual pleasure.
A study done at the University of South Alabama examined the
sexual benefits of a vertical hood piercing to a woman. In addition
to sexual stimulation, the study found that of the 33 participants,
39% noticed an increase in their sexual desire and 43% reported an
increase in their level of arousal.
While this is a small sample size and there was not an actual
increase in reported achieved orgasms, there is a good chance that
piercing the clitoral hood will provide sexual benefits to the
wearer.
There are different reasons for this, of course. Because the
piercing is hidden from view, having a sexy secret could make a
woman feel more aroused before a sexual encounter. The friction of
the jewelry between the clitoris and clitoral hood is likely to
impact a woman’s level of sexual desire because she’s receiving more
stimulation.
This piercing directly stimulates the clitoris without being
difficult to perform or heal. Latex condoms, water-based lubricants,
and avoiding the use of Nonoxynol-9 will keep your piercing from
being irritated when you are healed enough for intercourse.
