Types of Penis Piercings

Based on where they are situated in the male genital region, the 15 types of male genital piercings are divided into different categories. Check out the information below to learn which male genital piercings fall into which categories, their benefits and drawbacks, and what type of jewelry works best with which piercings.

PENIS HEAD PIERCINGS

Glans penis, or simply glans, is the head of the penis. In addition to the three glans piercing options available to all men, there is also a fourth option for uncircumcised men:

Dydoe Piercings

A dydoe piercing goes through the top of the glans, parallel to the shaft of the penile. After the dydoe piercing has been placed, the front ball of the short straight barbell placed for this piercing sits centered atop the glans, and the back ball rests against the top of the penile shaft. You can get one or several dydoe piercings if the circumference of your glans will support more than a pair of dydoe piercings. Dydoe piercings are typically done in pairs with a little space between them.
