Genital piercings are those situated around sexual organs. Female genital piercings are way more common than male genital and intimate piercings. We therefore propose this guide which will present most female intimate piercings, with a description and basic informations for each of them.

All types of jewellery may be used for genital piercings. Genitals piercings are only democratising since a few years. They are becoming fashionable, after having been used in bondage, S&M and fetichist movements. Their role is more decorative than sexual. These piercings, especially for girls, are nevertheless often very stimulative and bring a lot of additional sexual pleasure. However, the location of the piercing and the sensitivity of the woman who wears it have a lot of influence on this pleasure, on the fact that is it more or less intense, or even absent or distrubing. That's why piercing on the clitoris are less and less common because of the risk of total desensitisation. It is now advised to pierce on the clitoris hood instead.

Generally speaking, it is recommended to take good care of the cicatrisation of genital piercings, which is usually rather fast. It is important to note that there is a risk of accident which can be painful, in particular during the sexual act. It is therefore advised to wear large-sized clothes (coton is best) and to avoid frictions with the jewel. Professionals will tell you to avoid sexual contacts during one month and will recommend to wash the jewel with hot water and salt, using a cotton bud (as for nipple piercing). Actually, the size of the jewel for a genital piercing should be 1.6mm/14G minimum (up to 2 mm). Under this size, the risk of cutting or rejection is too important (as for tongue piercing).

Clitoris Piercing

The clitoris piercing is rather painful during the passage of the needle, but it is reported that this pain only lasts 2 seconds. This piercing is rather recent and only appeared in a contemporary time. This piercing is only possible on a relatively large clitoris, it is therefore not possible on every women. Clitoris piercing can be done horizontally or vertically, depending on the anatomy of the candidate. These few constraints, added to the high risk of total desensitisation of the clitoris (even if the opposite can happen too) lead many professionals to stop piercing the clitoris itself. It is more common to pierce the hood instead.

• Healing time for clitoris piercing: 2 to 4 months.
• Type of jewellery for clitoris piercing: CBR/Segment Rings, Circular Barbell and Straight Barbell.
• Particular risks with clitoris piecing: To damage nervous connections and provoke desensitisation of the clitoris, partially or totally (rarely). Consequences are normally reversible by taking the jewel off. It is interesting to note that some women report to have reached by this mean their first clitoridian orgasm after having their clitoris pierced.

Clitoral Hood Piercing

Piercing at the clitoral hood is way more common than clitoris piercing since it brings stimulation to the clitoris without any risk of desensitisation. The clitoral hood is the little piece of skin which covers the clitoris. When pierced vertically, the sexual stimulation will be stronger, or even permanent: in that case, the extremity of the jewel lay directly on the clitoris. It is reported to be a unique sensation unreachable otherwise. Horizontally clitoral hood piercing also allows to reach new sensations, but in that case it's rather the esthetic aspect which is the source of motivation. When processing to this piercing, a guide is often used in order to avoid touching the clitoris itself with the needle. This piercing generally costs 70 euros (in France).

Christina Piercing

The Christina piercing is a vertical piercing located at the junction of the two outer labias, on the top. This piercing was realised for the first time in the 90's by Tom Brazda and became more common only a few years ago. It has rather an esthetic function than a sexual stimulant function.

This piercing can also be unconfortable during sexual intercourses or when wearing tight clothes (skinny jeans for example).

Fourchette Piercing

Fourchette piercing is somehow the opposite of Christine piercing, being situated at the jointure of the two labias, but this time at the bottom back of the vagina.

Inner and Outer Labia Piercing

Piercing at inner and outer labias reappeared recently in the fetichist movement with the purpose to be able to close and prevent access to the vagina thanks to rings or padlocks. This piercing was originally born in the antique Rome to prevent slaves from having sexual intercourses. It has now become a piercing very simple and common. Both labias are often pierced symmetrically for esthetic reasons. Inner and outer labias piercing can bring a more intense sexual pleasure, especially for the partner. It is said that piercing to outer labias is more painful than to inner labias because of the thickness of the skin. This piercing is one of the rare feminine genital piercing that can be enlarged thanks to the technics of stretching (this may even increase again the sexual pleasure).

• Healing time for inner and outer labias piercing: 2 weekds to 3 months (outer labia piercing being usually longer to heal than inner labia piercing).

• Particular risks with inner and outer labias piercing: None.

Triangle Piercing

This piercing is located under the clitoris, horizontally, at the junction of the two inner labias. Triangle piercing is only accessible by a few lucky women. To do this piercing, it is required to have a little more skin than "usual" under the cap of the clitoris. It is reported that this piercing brings more sexual pleasure than any other classic feminine genital piercing; it is the only way to stimulate the clitoris by its back which is said to procure unique sensations. The first Triangle piercing was realised in 1991 by Elayne Angel.

Nefertiti Piercing

Nefertiti piercing is in fact the combination of a vertical piercing on the hood of the clitoris and a Christina piercing. The jewel therefore stimulates the clitoris and procures an increased sexual pleasure but the fact that it comes out on the top of the vagina can provoke the disconforts of the Christina piercing.
