    I can't imagine anything worse than having a spike stabbed through my tongue. Most people I know who have them talk with a slight lisp too. So yeah, if you wanna end up talking like Jamie Oliver, then I'm sure it's a great idea!

    Sorry but I think getting your tongue pierced is ridiculous, particularly for guys. Seems like a very feminine piercing, just like belly button rings.

    Oh christ... just, just take a step back a second and try to imagine how ridiculous it sounds to suggest that the placing of a piece of metal in a certain part of your body is homosexual. seriously. It's a fucking piercing, nothing more. If you think sexuality is that trivial, maybe that suggests something more about you than your girlfriend's brother, no?

    hmmm...you know what they say about homophobes...

    I had mine pierced for a short period of time....NOT worth the pain and hassle. But it was my ex that convinced me to do it...and she LOVED it. Shortly after I took it out, I saw vibrating studs at an adult store...now that would have been interesting.

    I don't get how anyone could think it would be meant more for fellatio than cunnilingus.... think about it...in which act is the tongue more prominent?

    Whilst I agree with you to some extent, I do question the point of a tongue piercing. It's not a piercing that's particularly on show, like a belly button ring, eyebrow piercing, ear, nose, lip etc. It's a far more concealed piercing, and the fact that it is concealed would imply that the reasoning for getting it, is not for adornment alone. Which then begs the question, what is it for? And like it or not, tongue piercings are largely associated with oral sex.

    Didn't you just answer your own question?

    No, I supplied a possible answer. I've never had my tongue pierced, or had the desire to have it done, so I can't possibly speak for other people and their reasoning.

    k, but I'm trying to figure out where you're going with your comment above. Why does it matter why people do it, why do you question the 'point' of it?
    And is there a problem (like it or not) with it being associated with oral sex? Are you implying that it's mainly associated with gay sex, and this is bad...or that it's just associated with sex in general....and that's bad? :confused:

    My ex had his peirced twice so when he would do...certain things they would make this little clicking sound...It illicited a very pavlovian response after a while, if you follow. In my experience, the piercings were very worth while. And had nothing to do with anything BUT oral sex. I will say, that dentists say they cause little fractures in your teeth so they highly recommend against them. Female dentists may suggest otherwise, though ;) To each his own. Life is short.

    any you are, of course, aware that oral sex isn't only a homosexual activity?

    Why of course! I understand the point you are making, but it's kind of like when you ask someone to name a type of cola, 9 times out of ten people will say Coke, if you catch my drift? I'm just trying to point out that a tongue piercing is more often than not associated with fellatio. It may be an unfair and and silly stereotype to make, but denying the existence of that stereotype just for the sake of being politically correct seems a bit daft.

    More power to any bloke who wants to get their tongue pierced to improve their 'performance', I think it's a little extreme, but it's all about personal choice I guess.

    I never said that tongue piercings weren't used predominantly for that reason. I don't know where you got that from. I just said that pjoasisrule is ridiculous for saying that makes them homosexual. A piercing cannot define your sexuality, whether or not it is used for it.

    Oh I totally agree that it's a stupid stereotype, but nonetheless, that is what the vast majority of people think. Thus, if he goes ahead and gets his tongue pierced, he should at least be aware that a lot of people will make assumptions about his sexuality. All I was pointing out was that whilst I dodn't necessarily agree with the original poster, I can understand why they might have that preconceived idea - becasue it's a popular belief.

    i don't have my tounge pierced and have wanted to to it for a while
    (i am a woman for those of you who don't know me)
    the reason i don't there is a small chance of loosing sense of tatse if they hit a nerve and i am a chef so that would suck

    however i dated a guy who had on who was very hetero LMAO
    and it was very fun

    everyone jumps to the oral sex reasoning but it was really fun just to kiss him

    plus some people just get them because they are orally fixated and it's a toy to play with

    my 2cents for what it's worth

    I have but not just for that, for other things as well. He is a kid with serious issues, basically he is on a downward spiral. Got into a few fights, got caught selling drugs at school and spent some time in jail while also getting expelled from school. He most likely wont graduate from his easy high school where he only goes like 3 days a week for just a few hours doing work that is equivelant to probably 5 grades younger. He wastes all the money that he does have on abercrombie clothes and things that will make him appear to be cool and wealthy. And worst of all, he impregnated a girl and wont talk to her and refuses to believe that the baby exists. I am pretty sure he has actual mental problems.
