I'm 20...and I got mine this past summer. First thing you need to know...you don't have to be hard to get one. That was the rumor I heard when I got mine. When you get it done it hurts, and for the first few weeks it sucks. During the first few days your pee blood...maybe the first 2. I jacked off after a week, to see how painful it was. It wasn't bad at all the first week. You can check out my pics to the piercing. I still have a 10 guage, and it's awsome. Some of the best orgasims of my life haha. PS...I've taken mine out for weeks at a time...and when I put it back in...it's fine
