girls get their tongues pierced to enhance their fellatio technique

Any amount of pain or risk to themselves to become more appealing to men.

Is it true that women get their tongues pierced so that they can "pleasure" the male? That's as far as I want to go..

[ValerieUSA]

Look - what is it to you? Someone said quite clearly, "I don't care what other people think," so what do you care? Do you think that person is lying?

[bribriagain]

Man, I'm glad I saw this post! I was getting ready to give out Body piercing gift certificates to all my friends and relatives for Christmas.

*YAWN* so here's the classic debate. The Lord does not want us to mutilate our bodies. So pierced ears for the ladies is OK but nowhere else? Get a grip. What I choose to do with my body is my business unless I put others in physical harm. Although, I did almost vomit when I saw that thing with that tats and piercings all over her face. I for one, love my tongue ring. Gives my mouth something to do. Call it an oral fixation I guess. 6 years and never a problem.

I didn't really bring up the Lord and what he wants or doesn't want. I don't really care if people follow every fad or not, obviously many will do anything if it makes them feel like they fit in better. It's probably better to pierce something to follow the crowd than to take LSD or some drug from peer pressure.

LOL!!

[Restorer]

Ping.

This thread seems right up your alley.

Morons have the right to pierce their bodies!

I think that the problem is, that the people , who do have holes poked through body and face places, don't think too far ahead. LOL They all claim that they do it, because they like it, but then get huffy , when / if others look at them , won't hire them, or simply say that it does what your nic says. LOL

Thankfully , my daughter never wanted to do that. She would have been disinherited, and bedeviled for the rest of her life, by her father and me. Neither did she want to get tatooed. As a matter of fact, she finds both things horrible , distatseful, abhorant, and doesn't have any friends who have body / face piercing or tatoos.

It only reflects badly on what you think of her personal style, not her morals or values. If you make that broad of a snap judgement based on appearances, I sure hope you are a super model, Ann, because I or someone else may likely have a judgement or two to make of you based on the way you look.

That could well be...that they just don't use foresight, although piercings are not permanent and can be removed at any time for whatever reason, so I doubt that is a deterent. I know one of my youngest daughter's friend got a ring put in her eyebrow. Everyone hated it and could not imagine why she would have done such a thing. Her parents are very good Christians and she certainly had a strong upbringing. The thing was always infected and we tried to impress upon her how dangerous that was. Well, she finally got rid of it. My question has always been, what made her do it to begin with? My daughter could not even answer that because the idea was distasteful to her too. They are not attractive additions to one's face. The girl was very pretty but the first thing you would see (and the only thing) was that awful ring in her eyebrow. I personally think it is their way of creating a difference...the same way we did when we wore our mini skirts. These kids were raised in a setting where there were little restrictions on what they could wear, so what else was there to do to go through the normal stages of rebelling? Of course my own girls understood they would be dead meat so they got through that period without going to that extreme...the tiny tattoo on was the extent of it. Thankfully.

I was raised rather strickly, and didn't really rebel at all. My daughter wasn't raise quite as strckly as I was; however , she knew that , as you put it, she would be " dead meat " if she even dreamed of having blue hair, face piecings, or anything else that is unexceptable. She didn't rebel in any wild way either.

The distance that the envelope has now been pushed, is ao far to the edge, that I can't even begin to imagine what the next move could even be. Ubangi lip plates ?

[connectthedots]

Being that you are in love with StoneColdGOP, you might want to reconsider. LOL

[MistyCA]

OMG....Ubangi lip plates? Can you imagine that????? LMAO!

[aruanan]

BTW, how does one tallk with a mouthful of hardware like that?

What would this individual have to say anyway? I doubt he/she is a modern version of Demosthenes.
