Penis piercings with average-sized jewelry rarely interfere with the
safe use of condoms. Condoms with larger receptical ends will fit
comfortably over penis jewelry. Lubricating the inside of the condom
as well as the jewelry itself will reduce friction. Diaphrams and
cervical caps can be dislodged by curved barbells or circular barbells
worn in the Prince Albert piercing.
Penis jewelry rarely impedes comfortable male-female intercourse.
Comfort and stimulation are greatly influenced by the position of
intercourse and the relative dimensions of the penis and
vagina. Discomfort to either partner can often be alleviated by
changing the dimensions or style of the jewelry. Some women find
piercings with barbells, such as frenum, Apadravya and Ampallang
piercings, uncomfortable. Shortening the barbell or wearing smaller
barbell balls may reduce discomfort. A frenum barbell may be
substituted by a ring. A large diameter ring which snugly encircles
the penis behind the
corona(ridge of the glans) can be worn if the
placement of the piercing allows.
Discomfort caused by friction against the jewelry or friction within
the piercing can be alleviated by applying a
water based lubricant to
the jewelry.
