piercing question I have not seen mentioned

Nipple piercing. Has anyone ever heard of losing sensation to the nipple
afterward? It is easy to imagine since you could conceivably be going
through nerves and whatnot. But soooooo many people have them done, if this
was normal you'd think it would be very well known. I do NOT want to loose
sensation to my nipples. I have heard loosing sensation is par for the
course with clit piercings. I am not interested in piercing my clit anyway.
But it does not seem comprehensible that someone would knowingly pierce
their clit if it was going to stop sensation.

What is your collective wisdom on this issue? No hurry since I am not going
to do it until I find a piercer who doesn't suck and have a completely
healed naval.

Thanks.

That should be l-o-s-e, fwiw.

And navEl rather than navAl.

So you weren't satisfied with the piercer who did your navel?

Regardless, I didn't lose any sensation to my nipples and have had
them pierced twice. Ymmv. Best of luck.

Not personally. Reports of unchanged or even increased sensibility are
quite common though.
It's not like there's a single nerve in your nipple that goes numb when
punctured, think of it more like a network.

Losing sensation would most likely be the result of excessive scarring,
which can occur for a variety of reasons, e.g. inappropriate jewelry
(too thin, ring diameter too small- I'm partial to barbells, at least 12
ga), repeated tearing/snagging, inferior jewelry quality (rough
surfaces), untreated metal allergies, infections....

I'd say you're doing better than most.

True. Much of it's anecdotal. But that's only sensible to expect. ;o)

And your opinion is still worthless.

As far as I can see, you've posted twice to this thread and neither
time have you offered a word of advice for Stephanie.

Selfish bastard? You'll forgive me if I don't agree.

And once again, you prove my point about the boner!

All I was pointing to was the fact that YOU, CURT, did not give
Stephanie her "S>" when you replied.

But no, Curt has to try and prove Kavin wrong in any way so he can try
and feel superior. And in doing so, he proves Kavin right.

It's the hard-on, Curt. You can't see straight for it.

What? Have you forgotten that's your thing? I'm perfectly capable of

Hey, I'm guessing that's your self esteem talking, Kavin.

Cool.

Okay, Kavin.

Many newsreaders will quote for you. But it is not going to quote with
attribute. I have never seen doing that in any newsgroup ever.
