An apadravya is a piercing passing top to bottom through the glans (although some men place it farther back, behind the glans, making it a "Shaft apadravya"). It is essentially a PA and Reverse PA combined, and in fact many apadravya piercees start with just the PA.

Placement

The piercing is usually done on a slight to great forward slant; not only does this follow the lines of the body better (if you want to wear flat based jewelry, it needs to be pierced perpendicular to the point of entrance), it makes penetration (and withdrawal) simpler and can actually result in the jewelry taking on a wavelike movement as it's employed.

Procedure

The apadrayva can be performed using either a standard clamp-and-pierce method, a freehand method, or a scalpelling method. For any method, proper jewelry size should be determined pre-procedure by measuring the penis while erect....

Clamp-and-Pierce

Freehand Method

Scalpelling Method

Healing and aftercare

The piercing usually takes four to six months to heal, however, a year or more is not uncommon. Especially, an apadravya passing through the urethra tends to heal more quickly due to the constant cleaning from urination.

Long term health issues

The apadravya tends to be a very stable and comfortable piercing when done correctly....

Jewelery

Almost always, a straight barbell, is used for this piercing. For the initial piercing a 12 gauge or larger is used.

History and culture

The Apadravya piercing is mentioned in the Kama Sutra.

Alternative Names

  • Happydravya because the apadravya piercing is said to be highly pleasurable for both the wearer and their partner, the nickname happydravya was coined to describe it. It is believed that this sources to a regular poster on rec.arts.bodyart from the mid 1990s, Chef.
