A serious question

[Orrex]

How did the first guy to get a Prince Albert convince the second guy to get one?

1. It started out as a fashion statement...

"The Prince Albert Piercing , also known in the Victorian days as a "Dressing Ring", was apparently designed to strap the penis tightly against the leg to minimize the bulge caused by the penis when wearing the very tight trousers which were fashionable at that time. As the rumor goes, Prince Albert wore one of these "Dressing Rings" to hold back his foreskin so to keep his member sweet-smelling so as not to offend the Queen."

I had to look this up---Although I knew men did this, I never knew the name for it. Ouch!!! And they say women suffer for fashion. Apparently men do too.

14. Well, that's just super

And Victorian notions of antiseptics and needle-sterility were so advanced, I'm sure that there were never any complications from piercings...

15. Well...not great, but Victorian England is post-Lister.

Joseph Lister invented antiseptics and antiseptic practice during the Crimean War. That precedes the rule of Victoria by a few decades...I'm too lazy to look up the dates though.

Now there's a fun afternoon.

"Hey, jabbing yourself thousands of times with a sharpened bone needle dipped in charcoal paste sounds like a brilliant idea! Me next!"

walk around wearing in pain for hours.

Broken ankles and permanent damage to their feet from wearing these. I guess I'm out of it fashion wise---3" heels is as high as I'll go.
