FOR years, cultures around the world have practised piercing different parts of the body. One practice that has been catching on in the Caribbean in recent times is vaginal piercing.
In fact, sex therapist Dr Sidney McGill and gynaecologist Dr Charles Rockhead say more and more women in Jamaica are hiding a piece of jewellery 'down there'.
Some women who have had vaginal piercings say it helps them reach an orgasm, while others say it makes them feel adventurous, exciting, or naughty.
While many may be familiar with piercing of the clitoris, piercing has also been done on the outer or inner labia.
Dr McGill says clitoral piercing does enhance sexual pleasure and is fast becoming popular among young women.
"Clitoral piercing is still rare but growing in popularity among upcoming young people who are into the tattoo and body piercing cult," McGill says. "Women receiving cunnilingus with a ring through their clitoris report that the sensation is very pleasurable when the tongue is used to play with the clitoris and the ring."
But while vaginal piercings are meant to enhance, stimulate and arouse, Dr Rockhead says there are a number of complications associated with it.
"Some of the effects of vaginal piercing are not medical," Dr Rockhead says. "But there are a number of complications that can occur. These can be immediate, long-term and intermediate."
He says these complications can include:
* Haemorrhage, if inappropriately placed.
* Infection.
* Damage to structure.
* Scar tissue.
* Temporary or permanent desensitisation of the structure she is trying to sensitise.
* Distortion of the anatomy and sometimes pain.

* Clitoris/clitoris hood. This is the most popular type of vaginal piercing and is said to stimulate the sensitive clitoral tissue during sex. Piercing the hood is preferable to piercing the clitoris itself. The clitoris is very sensitive and piercing it can cause pain and nerve damage.
* Outer or inner labia. The tissue of the labia is thick enough to accommodate more than one piece of jewellery or heavier jewellery. As a result some women will have more than one piercing done.
* Princess Albertina. This is not a very popular type of piercing because it is very difficult to perform. The piercing goes through the urethra and the top of the vagina.
