Penis foreskin

 Time of healing: 5 - 6 weeks.

 This type of piercing quite probably has its origin in the Ancient Greece right back to around year 750 before Christ, and thus to the time of the first Olympic games with all-nude athletes. In order to prevent the penis from flopping around and to reduce the risk of strokes and blows, they drew the foreskin together with a cord and fastened it around the root of the penis.  This was called Kynodesme. Later on, in around year 200-400 after Christ, the Romans did pierce the foreskin of the gladiators and their slaves with an iron ring, which was soldered together at its ends. This method was called Fibula having the purpose of preventing erection, so that the gladiators did not unduly interrupt the training, and the slaves did not impregnate any women.

 Today, the most common way of doing this is to pierce a hole through each side of the foreskin and to insert two rings here. After complete healing, these may be replaced by short rods, should you wish so.

 If you are experiencing any difficulty in retracting the foreskin, partial or absolute phimosis, such a piercing is likely to make the situation worse. Consider having this dysfunction treated first, e.g. a proper remedy may be a treatment with steroid cream during a few weeks, please consult your general practitioner.
