However, I have many friends who have various parts of their body pierced — and most of them have great things to say about their piercings. The most common part pierced for sexual pleasures is the tongue. I am told it does not really hurt to have the tongue pierced, and the benefits are somewhat obvious. When used for oral sex , the small metal ball or tongue ring that is on the tip of the ring will add pressure, tease, and bring a new sensation to the experience for your lover. People that use them seem to get off on the fact that their partner enjoys oral sex so much. Meanwhile, the one on the receiving end usually also loves the power of the tongue ring. For some extra fun, you can drink something warm or suck on some ice prior to performing oral. This will change the temperature of both your mouth and the tongue ring for added effect.

Thinking of getting a tongue piercing? Here's everything you need to know.

Skip navigation! Story from Sex Tips. The way most people talk about oral sex , it sounds pretty simple. You either lick someone's vulva or suck their penis and that's all there is to it.

There are about 5, things you can do with your tongue , and they don't all feel good for everyone.

Tongue piercings are one of the most popular non-ear piercings. Skellie says that over the last 25 years of his work, tongue piercings are still very frequent and popular. Tongue piercings are equally common in men and women. Skellie says "it's about equal" in general, even though his studio in particular has more female clients. Skellie himself has worn a tongue ring for over two decades. You'll start feeling healed in about a week. Skellie says most people acclimate to the new jewelry within a few days. In days you should start feeling healed, although it takes about 90 days for a protective layer to form around the piercing.
Much like lip or labret piercings, the tongue piercing is one of the easiest piercings to sit through—but it can be one of the more uncomfortable piercings during healing. Swelling is usually fairly substantial, and it will probably make speaking and eating difficult for a few days, but sitting through the procedure is usually not too bad. By the time you feel any discomfort, the piercing is already done.
