Genital piercing is a form of body piercing. It involves piercing a part of the genitalia, thus creating a suitable place for wearing different types of jewellery. Genital piercings can be done in men or women, with various forms of piercings available. The main motive for both genders is beautification and individualization, in addition some piercings enhance sexual pleasure by increasing stimulation.〔〔Hogan, K. Rinard, C. Young, A. Roberts, M.

Piercings of the genitals have a long tradition, with sources mentioning the Apadravya, a male genital piercing, as early as in the Kama Sutra (second century).〔(The Apadravya In The Kama Sutra )〕 The ampallang, a similar piercing (which passes horizontally through the glans instead of vertically), is found in different tribes throughout Sarawak and Sabah on the island of Borneo. Genital piercings became first introduced in western countries by ethnographic report, done by explorers such as in the 19th century. The Dutch explorer Anton Willem Nieuwenhuis described in his ethnographic record ''In Centraal Borneo: reis van Pontianak naar Samarinda'' - documenting his travel through Borneo in 1897 - the procedure of an ampallang piercing:〔(body-modification.com )〕 Unlike the nipple piercing, that became a short lived fashion trend at the end of the 19th century,〔(''Nipple Piercings, Male and Female'' ) - bmezine〕 genital piercings were uncommon in the western world until the second half of the 20th century. In the 1970s, genital piercings were introduced to the emerging body modification community in Los Angeles by the early piercings pioneers like Jim Ward and Doug Malloy. Genital piercings were sported by the modern primitives movement that developed during the 1980s. Only until the recent years, genital piercing was confined to a body modification subculture. With the beginning of the 21st century, genital piercing became increasingly more popular, with celebrities such as Janet Jackson,〔(''Janet Jackson’s Interview With Vibe Vixen'' )〕 Christina Aguilera,〔(''Female body piercing'' )〕 wrestler Katarina Waters,〔(''Piercing genital de Karina Bacchi na Playboy causa polêmica'' )〕 Fantasia Barrino,〔(''Fantasia’s Pierced Down There'' ) - Socialite Life〕 and Pete Doherty〔(''Pete Doherty's penis piercing'' ) - Female First〕 confessing to have or planning to have genital piercings. Genital piercings nowadays have a growing demand, especially in a young adult, college-aged population.〔E. Kasten (2007): ''Genitale Body-Modifications bei Frauen.''
