Quick trip to the bathroom for a little clean-up and a quick change of the underwear after that one I'm guessing! :lol:

My Brother in law is an MRI tech. I take his advice very seriously.

They aren't for me (any body alteration is not for me) but I certainly cool with any one doing anything they want to their body. Not sure why the subject stresses "GUYS" with tongue rings... as if gender mattered with piercings. Personally, not my thing and I would never consider one (though I was perfectly happy dating a girl with one ). They are somewhat distracting when talking to someone and you notice they have one. Maybe I am just easily distracted by that sort of thing, heh.

I think probably because societal norms deem it slightly less creepy for women to have piercings.
Shiny objects? Yeah, join the club.

At our motorcycle club there is a girl 19 ish years old who had lip rings all along the bottom lip and three rings in her eye brow as well as other body piercings such as multiple ear, and who knows where else......(I didn't ask).
I asked her what possessed her to do it.
Her answer, "too much whiskey"
Recently she lost all her excess facial piercing and I asked why she gave them up(I'm outspoken like that)
Her answer: "I needed a job"

What it all boils down to to me is that is there really ANY other purpose to have a tongue ring other than for sexual purposes? Unlike other forms of body art, the choice really can't be defended as a 'style' choice. Why don't the same people walk around with dildo belt buckles and handcuff bracelets? :lol:

This is one of the reasons (youth/rebellous random actions vs. reality) that has me convinced that if I ever give up this tooth thing I do all day long, I'm going to Medical School, specializing in dermatology, and then going to buy myself a big 'ol medical laser that's great a removing tattoos and viable for scar revision and then set up shop in a strip mall, right next to a liquor store/smoke shop down in some retirement community in Florida/Arizona and zap away at all the tattoos that have sagged due to 30+ years of aging, remove the tattooed name that the person had put on of their "fling of the week" while under the influence and do some scar revision work for all of the now 20 somethings that currently have lip/eyebrow piercings but with be quite cosmetically conscious of the scars they'll leave when they finally realize that their lives actually don't suck and drop their "I'm so oppressed" attitude that caused them to get the piercing as a sign of rebellion/personal liberation in the 1st place.
I figure that I'd have PLENTY of work in that type of scenario!

Not having one, I wouldn't know, but that definitely seems like a great side benefit.
A couple of my cousins had them when they were younger and I never asked them if that's why they got it. It was more a trendy thing at the time, I imagine. Sort of like navel piercings.I have to laugh at your comment about walking around with handcuff bracelets and dildo belt buckles. In high school I was "safely rebellious" (I was too "good" to do any harm but I hated being what everybody expected, too). I remember making a necklace out of a condom and walking around school wearing that for a few weeks. I was 15. I wasn't even close to having sex yet. But I liked the shock factor. And if anyone asked, I claimed I was promoting safe sex. In retrospect, I'm pretty sure it was just to get attention.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me if there were people walking around with blatant sexual aids on their person. The world is a crazy place!People get tattooed and pierced for different reasons. It isn't all the influence of alcohol or because it's trendy. I know for me, one of my tattoos was very therapeutic in dealing with the emotional pain of loss. And my nose piercing also served a psychological purpose. (I'll admit that the ankle tattoo was rebellious, but I was also 24 at the time...) Sometimes, pain can be therapeutic though.

Agree 100%! I always have a bunch of fun with the typically nowadays 15/16 to say 23/24 year old 99.9% females that I see sporting a tongue ring in my office, and when I have the conversation with them about the negative oral health impacts it can have vs. the "benefits" from it. My business partner(he's one mega sarcastic, blunt guy) every now and then will say, typically to an outwardly shy patient with a new tongue ring, "what do you use that thing for??" :lol: Even after hearing him pull that line 50+ times now, I still laugh when I hear it!
Tongue rings IMHO were created for 1 primary purpose, and oral jewelry isn't that purpose! ;
