Prince Albert

By Mistress Michelle Peters

Will the real Prince Albert stand up???? And don't forget the Prince Albert!

WHAT???? The WHAT?

The needle goes through the tip of the penis, through the urethra, and comes out underneath. There's a surgical steel ring.

The procedure gets its title from the prince who in the 1800's had himself pierced to stretch out uncircumcised skin under tight fitting pants. Piercings history doesn't stop there. What may seem like merely a fad of the 90's dates back to the pharaohs. Likewise, it was practiced by Julius Caesar's men and has long been a part of rituals in tribes found worldwide.

At least as early as the 14th century B.C., jewelry worn through the navel denoted royalty. Piercing in Caesar's time was more useful. Guards would fasten their caps to rings looped through the nipples.

For Mant tribes body piercings were a sign of beauty, honor and distinction. Often, the bigger the ornament worn, the better, being able to withstand the pain proved strength and courage.

Another, purely for decoration, they say. It's a noticeable --- though rather permanent--- form of dressing up, similar to new clothes or different eyeglasses.

Another reason is that piercing is a "rite of passage, " they say. Just like in primitive cultures, where boys and girls are tattooed or pierced to mark their passage into adulthood, so are people of today marking some significant point in their lives with new earring or a navel loop.

However, the ultimate reason why people may get their bodies pierced is that it might offer then a better way to get in touch with themselves.

Most popular right now is the navel. The nostril ring has been pretty standard for a while. While genital piercing is fairly common in California.
