Are male genital piercings "functional"

First off, there's some points that need to be addressed:

- I have one so don't bother trying to convince me not to do it

- (BUT WHY?!)...because it was the last thing anyone would ever expect me to do

- No, it wasn't as painful as you imagine

- No, I don't sit when I pee

- No, I don't value your opinion of my lifestyle or aesthetics

- No, I will not have sex with you

Now then, I'm pretty happy with my Prince Albert. It doesn't get in the way even though I'm a road cyclist and take it out every single day to climb into spandex. All in all, it's fun for ME.

However, it's new enough that I haven't gotten a lot of outside opinions, male or female. I'm trying to gather anecdotal information beyond my own experience.

Are male genital piercings novel, fun, pleasurable for partners.? Do they end up being frightening when disclosed? Are they more work than they're worth?

What's the consensus out there?

Wow, i can't believe none of these people took your question seriously. That's pretty ridiculous.

I don't know why it would be frightening.. unless it was like at a 0 gauge with a huge freaking ring in it.

Every woman is different. There are some that will get a TON of pleasure out of a male genital piercing, there are others that won't feel it at all, and still others that will be in real pain from it.
