So, it turns out that if you mention on Reddit that you have a Prince Albert piercing, you will soon be inundated with PMs asking about it.

Most of them are actually quite harmless, just curious guys who want to know more about the process, usually because they are considering it themselves. And that's fine; I don't mind answering questions. I actually quite enjoy being...

I really need a new profile picture. The one I'm currently using here (and on Facebook) was never great, and now it's about five years old it doesn't reflect my current hairstyle or facial piercings. Particularly seeing as I'm thinking of giving online dating apps a try again, I really need an updated photo.

Trouble is, getting a photo that is a. recent, b. an...

Well, at last I have a new photo. It's not great, but I guess it's as good as a photo of my ugly mug was ever going to be.

Two years ago today, I slept with my ex. This was not a good idea; I shouldn't have done and afterwards I wished I hadn't. At this stage, though, it doesn't really matter: just more water under the bridge. I finally cut all contact with her almost six months later; something I should have done when I tried to leave her that January. I still...

In a comment on a post on Facebook yesterday, I mentioned, in passing, my lorum piercing. A friend of mine, seeing this comment, decided to Google what a lorum piercing was and was not prepared for the photograph that adorns the appropriate Wikipedia page.

Apparently this is my fault.

Oh, Lol!  You can say it's for women. And say no more.
axelfendersson:
Heh. As it happens this was a female friend, so I don't know what difference that would have made. Also, I'm pretty sure that if anyone had asked about it my answer would have been something along the lines of 'look it up: I want you to have 'lorum piercing' in your search history'. So maybe I do bear some responsibility after all.

Latest entry in 'things I naively didn't expect Facebook to advertise to me'. A tiny metal penis to attach to the end of the bar in one of my piercings.

At 1.6mm, it would fit on either my tongue, nipple or lorum, the last of which would have a certain irony to it.

I learned recently that one (presumably popular) service offered by many OnlyFans 'content creators' is 'dick ratings'. Am I the only person who finds this really bizarre? I guess I just find it very hard to imagine paying actual money for someone to tell me 'you have a perfectly normal penis; other than the piercings there isn't anything special or interesting about it'. Really, who...

I don't get it either lol I wonder if there are also women who pay for reviews on their pussy 😂
axelfendersson:
I don't know about that one. I have definitely seen some tip menus that included 'genital ratings' with the implication that they would be open to rating vulvas as well as penises. But I don't know how many takers they actually get for those.

I wish I knew what to call this feeling.

It isn't loneliness. It kind of feels like loneliness but it can't be. I am quite active socially. I have friends whom I see often (including my housemates whom I see daily). I have a loving family whom I see on a fairly regular basis. I go out and spend time interacting with people several times...

oh sorry it feels this way. I hope you can get out of this feeling
axelfendersson:
Thank you, so do I! What, of course, makes it difficult is that feeling this way is itself an unattractive quality that makes it harder to find intimate company. So it's a condition that is very self-reinforcing.

Honestly, at this point I'm not sure if it's the framed pin-ups or the 80s fantasy art on my bedroom walls that most emphatically screams 'the man who lives here sleeps alone'.

The social status of piercings has changed a lot over the years. These days they're not particularly uncommon; many are pretty mainstream. But it wasn't all that long ago that most of them were still quite unusual. Genital piercings, especially, were pretty taboo and extraordinary even pretty recently.

It's my understanding that although many other parts of the world have piercings as part of their...

I'm sure that at one time it used to be possible to order prints of SG photos. As I remember, you could order a print of any photo from any SOTD. I'm pretty sure I almost did order one some time back, but found that once I'd factored in the cost of shipping to the UK, the cost was prohibitive.

Did I just imagine that?...

Aha, I didn't think I'd just imagined it! I wonder why they stopped doing it.
