Cleaning

[legalmoose]

Hopefully is not just coincidence, but recently I switched from using Satin to using Hibiclens to clean my new piercings and I've had a marked reduction in the amount of crud coming from the wounds (because, as we know, a new piercing is a wound). Am hopeful that this is a sign that they're finally getting to the last stages of healing and I can get back in action sometime soon (because, as we know, open wounds and sharing of bodily fluids is a Bad Idea). This celibacy thing has been for the birds. ;-p

Do piercings increase the risk of condom breakage?

Not that I have noticed, no. The metal itself is smooth (and if it's not smooth, it shouldn't be in your body!), so is unlikely to puncture the condoms. The ones I wear aren't much larger than the head of the penis, so the pressure put on them there is no worse than regular condom use.

I have had the worst luck with my nipple piercing. Thought it was healed a couple of times, but every time I thought it was and I let Jeff's mouth get near it, the piercing quickly became infected.
