Mine is pierced with a vertical barbell. It did hurt, but not as much as I had expected. The worst part was the anticipation. I was so nervous. It healed quite quickly and it's been nothing but great ever since. I change piercings every now and then, but it's kinda hard to do. Weird angle and what-not. It does provide me a bit more stimulation, and it is definitely a bonus with a vibrator, though, it is hard to keep the vibrations quiet. It makes quite a racket. teehee.
