I just hit 300 miles this month.

God damn it. Fuck you, you asshole.

Now I have to go build a fixie because I'm completely overwhelmed with curiosity. I don't need this. I already have too much shit I don't need to buy. I hope you're happy with yourself.

No need to apologize, I invited questions.

Yes, it's technically a hole from the outside of the underside to the urethra (the tube on the inside that runs the length). When I take it out you can see the hole. The skin around it sticks up slightly, but not much. I'm not putting pics of my junk up on the net so you'll just have to take my word for it. I usually take it out if I'm having sex with a condom or after 30 or so minutes of unprotected penetrative sex. It can get sore and uncomfortable after that point, plus sex just feels different with it in vs. out. I'm a fan of variety.

It was a little awkward to put in at first till I gauged it out. I had mine first done at a 12g (should have gone bigger) and have taken it up. It felt a little uncomfortable to put in and take out at first as the lining of the urethra had never been touched by anything but after a month or so it was right as rain.

There's actually almost zero risk of infection. As the piercing passes through the urethra, it gets basically flushed with urine every time I pee. Since my urine is sterile to me, this keeps it cleaner than just about any other piercing you can get, even during the healing process.

Lastly, why? Well the the blunt fact is I'm just a freak. You can shave off the mohawk, take out the piercings, cover up the ink, dress me in a suit (and I do clean up rather well) but the moment I open my mouth people will still say I'm a weirdo. It's just who I am. I like that it makes me a little bit different and makes me stand out a little because that's just who and what I am naturally. As for the idea... I've wanted one since I was 18. I waited till I was... ummm... 23 I think? I considered doing it myself as, for a short period of time, I had aspirations to be a piercer, but after extensive research ultimately decided against it. Piercings become a little addicting. You get one and (for some people) it's a good experience. You want another. The cycle repeats. By the time I was 23 I'd had two industrials, several other ear cartilage piercings, 4 ear lobe piercings, 2 lip piercings and 4 tongue piercings. Honestly, I kind of ran out of stuff to pierce. Furthermore everyone can see my other piercings. This one's just for me and my partners. I kind of like that about it, though this was something I realized after getting it, not a motivation in getting it.

A PA goes through the skin on the bottom and exits the urethra (i.e the hole thats naturally there). So it's like a half Ava. Most people wear either a ring or a curved (horseshoe shaped) barbell in a PA, while an Ava has a straight barbell in it.

When I got my PA the pain from the needle wasn't that bad. It just felt like a shot. What was horrible was the receiving tube, which is what the piercer uses to "catch" the needle as it comes through the wall of your urethra. Having that inserted I often describe as "like there were a half dozen angry bees in my dick dead set on getting out by any means necessary."

Edit: I meant to say "It felt like a shOt." not "It felt like a shit."

I've got a Prince Albert. You can totally have sex with it in. Of the women I've been with while I had it, about half have been sorta "meh" and the other half love it. One went so far as to tell me "Great, now every guy I sleep with's going to need one of those." I'm unsure if she was just feeding my ego or serious; I'd say it's equally possible either way. Most seem to like the aesthetic appeal alone. I've heard of guys with Apadravyas giving g-spot area stimulation with it, but as I don't have one I can't speak to it. I'm unsure how easy it would to get the necessary angle with the top part of your penis. I know I can get it on some women from behind so I assume you'd be able to do the same with an Apadravyas.

And just for the hell of it, here's a picture of the ring I wear. Don't worry, it's in my hand, not my penis. It's an 8g or 6g. I forget.

That answer your questions?

I've got a Prince Albert. Yes, I can pee out both holes.

Oddly, I feel like I never used my gears to their fullest potential until I added a fixed gear to my collection.

Say more about this. I'm curious. I've never ridden a single or fixed gear.

I understand the worry, but I'm 98% on the "Don't carry" side of the argument, at least for myself. I know some people feel very strongly about guns, but I have yet to see one make a situation safer for anyone, whether that's the guy packing heat, the guy he's drawing on or some bystander off to his left.

If you do pack, for the love of dog, be fucking careful with it.

On another note, I'm sorry you got threatened. I know how that feels. It sucks, makes you feel about two feet tall and you spend the next week ruminating on woulda, shoulda, couldas.

I work for a BPO (Business Process Outsource) company with a major insurance company as our client. Working he has shown me the inner workings of mail rooms , the health insurance industry and the way this sort of business operates. Everything from "Where and to whom does my letter go?" to "Who answers the customer service line?"

Here's my blog: http://thetruthbesold.wordpress.com/. Technically I haven't left yet so it's a paltry offering at the moment, but I start travelling on May 24th and begin my bike tour on June 9th after a week on the beach.

Nice work! I like that it collapses and was made from old wood.

Apparently politicians are of such low opinion in the public mind that the lowest levels of city and state government have become cool to hipsters.

"I was an alderman before it was cool. You've probably never heard of that kind of civil servant."

I got this same thing when I started, weird lower back pain. When I asked my dad who's a triathlete he suggested core strength training, saying my back muscles were having to over compensate for holding me up while leaned over my bike.

When I say "That's nothing" I don't mean the distance is anything to sneeze at (because it's not) or that it's not an achievement (because it is). I say "That's nothing" because if that's what you've done in three weeks, I know you're going to blow that out of the water in two months and that again in three. Good on you man.

Keep up the good work; I highly doubt you'll stay that weight for long.

Man, I'd not even thought to include this, but it's completely true. This is why I'm taking a month long bike trip this summer and the tag on my blog is "Because it looks different from the seat of a bike."

As someone who's had horrible sleep patterns for the majority of my life this is not only true, but it this has been a huge benefit to me, unless I miss a ride. Then I sleep like shit. Mixed blessing I guess.

Haha, I took my girlfriend and her Italian roommate to nice, local breakfast restaurant. Pretty much everything on their menu is awesome, the place is always packed. When we asked her roommate what she was thinking about she named off three things and said "I want all." The girl's 110 lbs. soaking wet. It took us a minute to convince her that she would most likely not be able to finish even one of those.

The sentiment of "I liked that band before they were popular! Why'd they have to get so popular?!" comes to mine.
