This unusual phenomenon that we call, pearling or genital beading, is a process that involves inserting beads that are made up of various materials beneath the skin of the shaft or the foreskin of the penis which is mainly done for enhancing sexual pleasure during intercourse besides aesthetic reasons. This practice is said to have begun in Yakuza in Japan where they inserted pearls under the skin of the penis while in prison.

Beads are set practicing a manner very related to a frenum piercing, the chief distinction being that the jewelry is sealed completely under the surface preferably than being left with the edges distending. The piercing is done by using large gauge piercing needles and then a taper is inserted inside so that these holes could be made bigger. The beads are then inserted inside the skin and the needle is removed. To remove the beads, the piercer will squeeze the skin that underlies behind the beads and hence forcing the genital skin to be together over the beads. A small chink is made with the needle and then the bead is protruded out too which is kind of comparable to popping out your zits! After removal, you can’t really point out the original modification.
