Who says men don’t like to wear accessories? In the world of body modification, there are many ways to beautify what has come naturally. One form, pearling, is a lesser-known but historic type of modification. While most mods are visible when it comes to the penis, like piercings and tattoos, this guy really gets under a man’s skin…that is, the skin of his penis. Want to learn more? Here is everything a man needs to know about obtaining pearls.

What is the pearl?

Pearling is a type of body modification practice in which pearls are inserted under the genital skin to achieve aesthetic appeal and increase sexual pleasure. This is also known as beadwork.

How is the pearl made?

This is not for the faint of heart. A single object, a pearl or other rounded implant, is embedded in the dorsal (top) aspect of the shaft of the penis. They can also be placed in rows or randomly around the circumference and length of the shaft. Some men think the process is so simple that they do it themselves, which is not recommended. After insertion, a man should expect swelling around the entry site, as well as discomfort while the skin heals. In very rare cases, pearls can be rejected by the body.

While the practice is believed to have originated with pearls, a wide range of implants are used in modern society, including silicone, titanium, Teflon, and stainless steel. The beads are said to create a ribbed effect that is known to enhance vaginal and anal sex for couples. Some people also find it very pleasing to the eye.

A historic peak in pearl mining or who thought this?

Body modification is by no means a new practice. Pearl mining dates back to the 15th century and is recorded in Chinese texts of the time. It is believed to be a practice brought to China from Southeast Asia, specifically parts of the Philippines and Myanmar. A modern historian from this part of Asia discovered that there were 30 different types of beads available to suit a woman’s choice, as the ribs have long been useful in stimulating a woman’s pleasure.

The best known, although curious, use of pearl extraction is that of the Japanese Yakuza. According to records, the Yakuza would have a pearl implanted in their penis for every year they spent in prison. It makes the mind wonder what a 20-year sentence could bring: would there be enough room? However, the modern Yakuza, if one is to believe the stories, do so to enhance the woman’s pleasure. It’s like mobsters with a heart of gold.

Pearls and Penis Health

As pearl fishing has gained popularity, more complications have come to light. They include things like infection, bleeding, pearl migration, and scarring. These complications can lead to problems like erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease. As with all genital body modifications, there is not only the possibility of the above happening, but also the possibility of permanently losing sensation in the genitals if things don’t go exactly according to plan.

Men who opt for lower body modifications should be especially mindful of penile health. Be sure to thoroughly cleanse your penis every day and after any sexual encounter, with warm water and a mild cleanser. Rinse well and air dry. After washing the skin, use a specially formulated penile health cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil that has been clinically proven safe and gentle on the skin) on the penis. By selecting a cream packed with vitamins and nutrients that protect and rejuvenate the penis (such as vitamins A, B, C and D), the penis is always strong and ready for action.
