Apadravya Piercing

The Apadravya is a vertically through the glans of the penis stung Piercing. In rare cases, the piercing is placed in the glans groove. By Apadravya closely related is the Ampallang, which runs horizontally through the glans.

Description

Originally found on Borneo, the origin of body piercing, no distinction between Ampalang and Apadravya. Both are rather referred to regardless of their orientation as Ampalang, or only Burah Palang Palang. The difference in names for the two piercings goes back to Doug Malloy and established by an article in the Piercing Fans International Quarterly.

History

The piercing can look back on a far-reaching tradition. It is found both in different tribes of Borneo such as the Dayak, Iban and Kelabit and is also in the ancient Indian Kama Sutra of the 2nd Century mentioned [3], where his sexual stimulation, especially for the woman praised. This is found in the Kama Sutra, the passage:

"The Pallang is the lingam (penis) is attached to its increasing thickness and improve the yoni (vagina) to adapt. Among the peoples of the South (India) there is a widespread conviction that no true sexual pleasure can be felt unless the lingam has been pierced with a Apadravya ... this should be a sharp object being used and the man should be in the water, as long as the wound is bleeding. In the evening he should practice sexual intercourse, to clean the wound. After he was to maintain the wound with a decoction and provided the opening with a piece of bamboo. This should be expanded continuously in order to stretch the opening. "- Kama Sutra

A Apadravya is a vertically extending Pallang. The upper ball stimulates the G-spot of women during sex

The recommendation to bring the fresh wound in contact with water as well as the final sexual intercourse, medical point of view of today's decline. The stretching of the piercing is recommended especially for this piercing due to the mechanical stress. Whether the passage refers to the "peoples of the South" to tribes in the south of India or to other parts of Southeast Asia is controversial in the research.

The first mention in European history is found in a report by Thomas Cavendish in 1588. This writes about the inhabitants of the island Capul:

"Every man hath a Nayler (nail) of Tynn (Tin) thrust quite through the head of his privie part (glans of his penis)"

The piercing was common at the time of Borneo also in different regions of present-day Indonesia and the Philippines, but is now only found in Borneo. The piercing is practiced by the Dayak, the Iban and the Kayan, the piercing is documented in the Iban best. The explorer and adventurer, WA Nieuwenhuis, who traveled to Borneo in 1897, wrote in his book Across Borneo [4]:

"The young men through the tattoo, because it is performed by them only to a limited extent, much less than women to suffer for it but they must in order to gain their full manhood, subject of another test, namely the through-hole the glans penis. This operation procedure is as follows: First, the glans made anemic by pressing between the two arms of a folded over strip of bamboo. At each of these arms are opposite each other where needed openings through which one after the round pressed glans become less sensitive to an acute kapfernen pin; formerly was used for this purpose a pointed bamboo sticks. The bamboo and the clamp is removed by means of a cord attached to pin left in the opening until the channel is healed. Later, the copper pin (utang) by another, usually through a tin, replaced, which is worn at all times, making only heavy work or strenuous operations of the metal pin a wooden square. Particularly brave men enjoy with the chief's prerogative to be allowed to wear the penis a ring in the scales of the pangolin cut and blunt teeth is occupied; sometimes they can also be crossed with the first channel, a second by the glans . Drill In addition to the Kayan themselves, engage in many Malays from the upper Kapuas this art. The pain during surgery do not seem to be very violent, and it has only rarely serious consequences, although until recovery can often take a month. "

The piercing is also justified by the Southeast Asian tribes, mainly through its effect on women:

"The lady had various ways of indicating the size of the Ampallang desired. She might hide in her husbands plate of rice a betel leaf rolled about a cigarette, or with the fingers of her right hand placed between her teeth she wants the measure five of the one she ASPIRE. The Dayak women have a right to insist upon the Ampallang and if the man does not consent they may seek separation. They say that the embrace without this contrivance is plain rice; with it is rice with salt ".

Whether the piercing in India and Borneo was created separately to be considered so far unexplained. There is good evidence, however down in Borneo as a source.

The best known bearer of this piercings in today's time is the British singer Pete Doherty.

Implementation

The Apadravya is usually engraved in the center and passes through the urethra (at a Ampallang contrast, runs the branch channel horizontally through the glans). The Apadravya can be engraved in two sessions, with first a Prince Albert piercing (PA) is crisp and to the healing of the puncture channel from the top of the glans penis to the urethra towards completed. The upper half of body piercing is not the same as a Reverse Prince Albert, as the needle tract but has the same position, but is engraved in a different angle.

Variations

Runs the branch canal behind the glans is called a stem-Apadravya. A Apadoye is a piercing in which a ring by Apadravya and one or two Dydoe is worn. He usually goes through two pairs engraved Dydoe piercings. The cross-combination of a Apadravya a Ampallang called Magic Cross.

Jewellery

As jewelry is usually a straight barbell is used by at least 2 mm diameter, care must be taken that this is also an erection long enough. The Apadravya has a relatively long branch canal and thus a long annealing time in comparison to other genital piercings.

Stimulating effect

The piercing is attributed to impact on the sexual partner, especially pleasurable, which is why he often is "Happydravya referred. The Apadravya increase resistance during sexual intercourse and in most positions directly stimulates the G-spot of women, which is experienced as a rule of woman as very pleasurable. Even for the man himself, the Apadravya, similar to the Prince Albert piercing, a positive impact in sexual intercourse because it stimulates the sensitive urethra.
