A Revelation of Just How Completely Out of Step I Am with This Culture

Gaah!!! Body modification websites should come with warning labels and a consent form before allowing people inside!!!!!!

I don't mind accidentally stumbling onto a few pictures of naked people having pleasurable-looking sex. But pictures of people with metal things stuck through their flesh in places where there aren't any naturally occurring holes—that bothers me. I had no idea what I was in for by clicking that link.

And by the way, I'm not terribly happy about people being allowed to walk around in public with their ears pierced without any warning labels on their foreheads, either.

Ears are fine for me... so are eyebrows, to a certain extent... but when I see nose and lip/labret piercings... *rawlf*

Well see, I just got unwillingly subjected to online photographs of nipple and dick piercings . . . the nipple one was complete with a string through it that was being pulled on and stretching the nipple all out of shape . . . it was HORRIBLE!!

I'm trying to surreptitiously cover my eyebrow and ear so you don't spot me- without forehead warning- through my computer.

My friend Dave is a tatto artist who also does piercings and he once met a guy who had eight foreskin piercings. It was... interesting... I hear, to say the least.

I'm sure you were just itching to hear that.

there's some extreme stuff out there. some folks consider voluntary amputation "body modification/body art". i think the thing where they split the tip of the penis in two is the one that weirds me out the most perhaps.
