ok - Im going to get my Tongue peirced possibly in a few weeks and I am wondering how much it effects sex... I've heard that if used right, it can be perfect for some things, but I also heard its harder to kiss with...
Does any1 have any experiences or input about this, I would like to here about it, even if you dont think its a good idea, tell me why.
I also am wondering - do u think that her mom would not let her date me because of it - or would she think that im a bad kid because im getting it done. Im not the type to wear all black and have amillion peicings, but some people would think that the tongue peircing is a sign of disrespect. What do you think ??
Ja - Da - Mwah
Jay2, Right up front, I'm not a fan of piercings, but to each his or her own. Based on the information you've provided, I can't see any upside to it. I don't believe that having a piercing is disrespectful, but I also don't think it's going to make her parents think any better of you.
I have my tongue pierced. But I'm also at the age where opinions of the parents of the men I date, don't matter when it comes to that type of thing.
If you think it could end your relationship, then you have to decide what's more important, your girlfriend or a piece of jewelry.
To answer your question, it is not harder to kiss.
You can use it to your advantage on your partner's sensitive areas.
i know you are talking about a normal size tongue ring ive never kissed anyone w/ one of those. however i did kiss a guy who had like a size 2 gauge (which is really big) and he also had his lip pierced...there was a lot of metal getting in the way
If you have any questions, doubts or lingering second thoughts AT ALL about a piercing, tattoo or other such thing dont get it.
unless you're 100% certain you want the piercing, chances are you'll never really be comfortable with it.
Bottom line: Your basic piercings are removeable - so if after u have it done, you don't like it or the way it looks or feels you can remove it and the hole will heal!
Also, i'd worry LESS about kissing (it really dosn't impact that part of passion) and worry MORE about the 3+ month healing time! Your food intake and sex will be limited during the healing time - so factor that in before you decide!
Finally, if you're young and in school and don't have any work responsibilities, explore..however, a tounge piercing (for most jobs) really would be an inappropriate thing to wear for employment!
I would advise not to get it.
In response to Rawbob's post... he is right about the jobs. When I was working "normal" office jobs the tongue ring wasn't allowed. I had to put in a tongue retainer. Now it's ok because I work from home. My boss doesn't complain, lol..
Also, healing varies per person. Some can eat normally, talk, kiss, everything in a matter of days. Some, not all, take months. It took me 2 weeks.
If you do get it pierced, make sure you follow the directions by avoiding direct mouthwash (dilute it or the straight alcohol can kill tissue in your open wound) also avoid spicy foods, and on the first few days make sure you suck on ice and drink cold liquids to keep swelling down.
First I'd like 2 Thanks for everyones responses, I checked wit both of my jobs and they said it was ok, as long as I didnt make it a big deal, like click it against my teeth or show it off to customers.
I also heard that the healing process was a bitch but im sure ( since its summer ) I can spare a month of healing and non spicy foods. I dont wanna be the person that has horrible speech and all that, I'll drink slurpees and chew ice for a week strait, but during the healing process - how much does THAT affect my sex life, cuz i kno it will hurt, but wut can I or Cant I do with it ?
Ja-Da-Mwah
Well once again, it depends on how your tongue takes to the new piece of metal stuck through it. Each person is different. As I said, some heal in days, some months. When I got mine pierced, I was given a list of things NOT to do. Included was kissing and oral sex. Which was ok for me at the time because I was completely single, no boyfriend. You have to be smart about it. if your tongue is sore, don't do it. If it's red and swollen, don't do it. If you can eat normally without pain, then go ahead and start normal sexual activies; kissing, licking, etc. But you have to wait until you are COMPLETELY pain free. If there is any pain or redness, do not risk making it worse simply because you are horny. be creative and try new methods in the sac. Never forget, the new piercing is an open wound. Your tongue is an organ, it isn't normal to stick needles and chunks of metal into it. So take care of it to keep away infection... let me know how it goes and how your healing process is going. I'll give ya tips if you need any.
My boyfriend has his tongue pierced and once took it out to see if kissing and/or oral sex would change without it. I prefer kissing without the piercing, but oral is much better with, especially if you focus more on the clitoris.
But that's just my opinion.
[CENTER][COLOR="Purple">i love tongue piercings.. i have a few..
this is my mouth..
they dont hurt much to have done - they dont break ur teeth, they are pretty much problem free if you look after them.
:p
my female partners have love them! :p
i love them!
and they dont get in the way :)
remember body piercing and all body modifications are an expression of one's self and individuality, creativity etc etc,
if you want it done do it. if you dont - dont, but make sure you want it doen for yourself
=) goodluck!
