"Prince Albert" is probably the most popular of all male genital piercings. Most people find it the most sexually attractive. But the reason lies in the fact that the healing process is faster than in other cases. The ring extends along the underside of the urethral head (where the head connects to the shaft of the penis). In a circumcised man, it can be done directly through the center of the bridle. This is a relatively safe piercing.
"Prince Albert" is a puncture named after the wife of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. It was popularized in the 1970s by Richard Simonton (better known by the pseudonym Doug Malloy) - a Hollywood businessman who was extremely interested in the piercing theme.
In his pamphlet on the history of genital modification, which became a bestseller, he tells several invented stories, in particular, one urban legend that Prince Albert had a very large penis, so he tried to hide it in tight pants on the eve of his wedding.
In that era, men preferred to wear very tight trousers. In order for the penis not to create an unattractive bulge in them, it had to be laid in a certain way. To do this, some of them allegedly pierced it and attached it to the inside of the trousers with a special ring. This style was only called the dressing ring. However, later, many fashion accessories of that time (for example, the Prince Albert tie knot) began to be named after the Queen of England’s spouse.
In fact, there is no historical evidence for Malloy's claims. Moreover, in Victorian erotic fiction, including the sincere memoirs of courtesan Cora Pearl or journalist Frank Harris (his too frank multivolume works "My Life and Loves" were banned in many countries of the world), there is no mention of genital piercing.
It can be assumed that the foreskin of the penis, held together by a ring, resembles a double-breasted frock coat, also known as "Prince Albert", hence the name. Like most other species, this piercing for jewelry has roots in the practice developed in gay communities in the twentieth century, and became widely known when piercing generally began to appear in popular culture in the late 1970s.
Many owners of "PA" say that it is very effective during sex, strongly stimulates both partners. Although the ring can cause discomfort in a woman (if it comes in contact with the cervix).
Jewelery characteristic of this species, except for a ring with a ball clasp, includes a curved bar, a straight bar, and the "Rod of the Prince".
Healing after a puncture occurs in a period of four to six months. At first, edema and minor inflammatory processes can occur. In extremely rare cases, Prince Albert piercings lead to local infections. The fact is that even the owner’s own urine actually serves as a healing agent. But in any case, certain hygiene procedures will not be superfluous at all. Daily washing of the penis with water with sea salt or soap is recommended, after which this area must be thoroughly dried. At first, you will have to endure some discomfort in the place where the jewelry comes in contact with the foreskin of the penis and rubs it.
