The second day of being pierced was MUCH better than the first.
The first night I bled quite a lot, and last night not much at all. I spent most of the day yesterday doing bleeding management. Today I’ve been able to go our and cut the lawn and run errands without any major issues. I do have to make sure I adjust myself properly though so the piercing doesn’t rub against my underwear too much. If the piercing rubs, it moves, and it feels pretty durned intense.
I’m not supposed to have sex until it heals. The main issue with that is making sure I don’t get bodily fluid that is not my own on the wound. This prevents infection and helps speed healing. As soon as I am healed over enough, I’m going to make use of the plentiful condoms in my home, and try it out!
The piercing is supposed to stretch fairly naturally over time, anywhere up to an 8 or 6 guage piece of jewelery. There are so many amazing pieces of jewelery you can use too. *drools* I am looking forward to going up to a bigger piece of jewelery in.
I’m the proud new owner of a Prince Albert Piercing! Elwood came out to do a play piercing workshop at our party tonight, and afterwards provided piercing services to those interested in being pierced. Elwood is the man when it comes to piercing and branding. I was the very last to be pierced, on account of needing to be able to host until the last possible moment.
I was really nervous about getting pierced; especially with getting a genital piercing. Once I decide to do something though, I get it DONE. Once it was my turn to go I just laid down and let Elwood do his thing. Well, do his thing on MY thing. The receiving tube in the urethra was no biggie. It felt just like sounding. The poke itself, the needle going through my skin and urethra, hurt like a motherfucker. In fact, that is what I vocalized quite loudly, “Motherfucker!”.
I bled a fair bit after the piercing and, in fact, still am bleeding on and off now. There isn’t really any pain anymore, but it does feel pinchy every now and again if the ring gets moved or bumped when I walk.
I’m crashing pretty hard now. If I wasn’t worried about bleeding on the bed, I’d be in bed now. I have to remember to get some gauze and wrap myself up a bit so my bed stays bloodless.
The only thing I am not looking forward to is peeing. It is going to hurt a LOT to pee. On the plus side, urine is sterile and will clean the wound out and help it heal faster,
Anyways… I am seriously crashing and need to get warm. For all the endorphins that I got during the piercing, I’m sooooooo tired and shaky now.
So off to bed I go.
Let’s see. I had a good birthday this year. I had my typical birthday melancholy, followed by much excitement and fun.
We went out and had sushi for dinner on my birthday, and I bought a fruit flan for dessert. I love flans. I used to have one almost every year when I was in my teens. On Friday we had our first Raven’s Retreat En Femme Friday party. It was my birthday party as well as a public event. It went really well.
I wore a dress for the first time -ever-. I’ve been told for, let me see, YEARS, that I’d look good in one; a gender fuck as it were. A very masculine me, not trying to look anything but masciline, in a dress. Who knew I’d look so hot.
Who knew. The look was a big hit. I got lots of compliments and even some leg humping. Not too shabby.
It was a smallish party, so Katt and I were able to play together. I have been experimenting with sounds. Sounds are nice. New genital sensations are always a good thing. At larger parties we tend to be busier hosting, so having some public play time was nice.
I have been attempting to be a little more open to trying new things. I can be somewhat stubborn about.. err.. change… and about my interpretations about what my role is and how I perceive myself. I can let myself be the focus of attention without feeling guilty. That’s a big one for me.
There has been some change in relationship status for me as well. I had been dating someone until just recently when I decided that I would make a better friend than a boyfriend. The decision really had nothing to do with the person I was dating at all, they are really cool, sweet, and attractive. I am just not up to that level of intensity in my life at the moment. I really don’t like to hurt people, but I can’t be where I’m not. I do enjoy their company a lot though and hope we can remain close friends.
So yeah, as always the birthday has been a very introspective time for me. More later though. It’s late and I am sleepy.
Go me, It’s my birthday. Gonna party like it’s my birthday!
In 2 days I turn 36. Neat.
What a journey.
I’ve had a good life. Oh, I’ve fucked up a few times and made a few mistakes, and there certainly has been no shortage of traumatic, and even in a few cases life changing, events, but life has been *good*.
So, on April 12, I will turn 36, and ponder the future.
And as I think about the past, there is no place I’d rather be than now.

We are the proud new parents of two lovely female rats, Honey and Myhr. They are very very cute!
Myhr is very active and friendly and loves to be out of her cage and with us. She is very much about exploring. She is mostly white with a little tan patch on her pack.
Honey is a bit shy and likes to cuddle once she starts to cuddle but takes a bit to decide to come out and visit. She is white with a dark honey coloured hood (hence her name).
Bella is obsessed with the rats. She seems to like them when she gets to sniff their tails, but otherwise tries to bark at their cage. It will take a while to socialize them to the rats. It will be a methodical and slow process.
