Hey guys! Are you interested in learning about men's piercings or looking for cool body jewelry for guys? If so, we have all the masculine piercing ideas you want right here. Read on to learn about the most popular piercings for guys and see a sampling of our extensive selection of men's jewelry.



Piercings for Guys

Most piercings are unisex by nature, but there are some piercings that are definitely more masculine than others and a handful that are just for guys. Usually it's the body jewelry you choose that makes a piercing more masculine, though. For instance, girls with dermal piercings often opt for pretty accessories, like jeweled dermal tops, whereas guys who get dermals tend to choose more masculine tops like spikes and industrial-looking screw head dermals. Guys are also slightly more likely than girls to stretch their earlobes so they can wear cool plugs, tunnels and other heavier gauge jewelry.

The types of piercings guys tend to favor most are helix piercings, industrial piercings, earlobe piercings, eyebrow piercings, septum piercings, tongue piercings, labret and other lip piercings, nipple piercings, and male genital piercings. Of those options, nipple, eyebrow and ear piercings are the top three most popular piercings for guys.

When it comes to male genital piercings, there are tons of choices. More men get Prince Albert piercings than any other type of male genital piercing, but frenum piercings are a close second on the popularity charts. Prince Albert piercings go through the urethra from either the bottom or top of the penile shaft, and they exit through the urethral opening in the head of the penis. When a PA piercing goes through the top of the penile shaft, it's called a reverse Prince Albert piercing.

Although guys are more drawn to PA piercings than many other male genital piercings, sexual partners aren't always crazy about them. Before you get a Prince Albert piercing, talk to your partner and see how s/he feels about it. If the idea doesn't delight your partner as much as the possibility excites you, consider starting out with a more sexually-stimulating male genital piercing like an apadravya piercing or frenum piercings.

Frenum piercings are surface piercings placed horizontally along the penile shaft. They can be very stimulating for sexual partners during intercourse and guys tend to love the look of them, so many men who get frenum piercings end up getting a Jacob's ladder. A Jacob's ladder is a series of frenum piercings placed equidistant apart along the underside or top of the penile shaft. Frenum piercings placed along the top of the shaft are called dorsal frenum piercings. You could get a row of frenum piercings down either side of your penile shaft, too, but that placement isn't nearly as popular as the traditional and dorsal frenum piercing placements. Frenum piercings placed along the sides of the penile shaft may be more irritating than stimulating to sexual partners.

Apadravya piercings are vertical piercings placed through the top center of the head of the penis. They're one of the most painful male genital piercings to get, but they can be very sexually stimulating, particularly for female partners. When you have sex with a woman in a position like missionary or doggy style, the top or bottom ball of an apadravya piercing will stimulate her G-spot.

Your other male genital piercing options include:

Ampallang Piercings = Piercings placed horizontally through the penile head
Dydoe Piercings = Surface piercings that go through the top ridge of the penile head, parallel to the penile shaft
Kuno Piercings = Foreskin piercings for uncircumcised men
Lorum Piercings = Low frenum piercings, placed through the skin in between the base of the penile shaft and the scrotum
Dolphin Piercings = Connects a PA piercing to a second hole lower down the penile shaft, usually with a bent barbell
Pubic Piercings = Surface piercings placed anywhere on the pubic mound
Hafada Piercings = Surface piercings on the scrotum
Guiche Piercings = Surface piercings placed through the perineum, between the scrotum and the anus
Anal Piercings = Piercings placed through the rim of the anus
