A clitoral piercing is a piercing through the clitoris . It is not to be confused with the more common clitoral hood piercing .
The direct terminal branch of the pudendal nerve and the most important sensitive nerve that supplies the glans of the clitoris, the glans clitoridis and the clitoral shaft, the corpus clitoridis , is known as the clitoral nerve, the dorsal nerve clitoridis . It is responsible for conveying sexual sensations and is also known as the "lust nerve".
execution
The clitoris should have a diameter of at least six millimeters (better and safer, however, is a larger diameter), and the clitoral hood must not obstruct the piercing by covering it. If the clitoris is covered, it must be mobilized (see also clitoral adhesion ); a previous clitoral hood reduction may also be necessary in order to be able to pierce the piercing.
An adult female's clitoral glans is typically less than 1 cm wide and an average length - glans and corpus clitoridis - 1.5 to 2 cm.
Because of the many nerve endings there, it is painful and risky to perform. A clitoral piercing should only be done by an experienced piercer, as performing this piercing requires a high level of skill. Only a few studios offer this piercing. It is possible to perform local anesthesia with a well tolerated local anesthetic . Sterile conditions, disinfection , instruments and covers are mandatory in this case.
The clitoris piercing is usually done horizontally, but can also be set vertically. If the clitoris is covered, a vertical puncture channel is more suitable.
The healing time is between four and six weeks.
Because of the anatomical conditions in the clitoris due to overstimulation or mechanical damage during the piercing, this variant of intimate jewelry is rather rare. There is a risk of nerve damage to the dorsal clitoral nerve as a result of which a total or partial loss of sensitivity can occur. If the piercing is tolerated, however, it can mean a considerable increase in pleasure.
Jewellery
As piercing jewelry, the horizontal variant tends to use smaller rings (1.2 mm thick) and the vertical variant tends to use small barbells or bars or piercing studs. A ball closure ring that is as small as possible is recommended as jewelry for the horizontal stitch channel and a barbell for the vertical variant, each with a material thickness of 1.2 millimeters.
