The Dydoe piercing belongs to the family of male intimate piercings and is placed between the shaft of the penis and the rim of the glans.
It owes its name to the piercing pioneer Richard Simonton (stage name Doug Malloy), who first pierced it for a Jewish student group, the so-called (Cyprian Society). The aim was to revitalize the less sensitive glans of circumcised men. Today it is often requested for purely aesthetic reasons.
The Dydoe piercing is considered to be one of the most painful piercings of all. Which is hardly surprising, as this is where most of the nerve cords in men are located. Nevertheless, dydoe piercings are very often pierced symmetrically in pairs or four times (right and left).
A Dydoe piercing is more often worn by circumcised men, but can also be easily applied to men with foreskin.
Please note that intimate piercings at 2nd Skin are exclusively for the same sex. An intimate piercing is always associated with an appointment and is not performed spontaneously.
A Dydoe piercing is perceived as very pleasant by the partner.

| Please note | The Dydoe piercing must always be pierced by a very experienced piercing artist and requires a long healing phase. In rare cases, it may tend to grow out. During the healing phase, the foreskin (if present) should be retracted as much as possible. As with any intimate piercing, we recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse for 2 weeks. If this should nevertheless occur, only practice protected intercourse and stop immediately if you experience any pain. |
