quick (and not at all urgent) question

[isolt.livejournal.com]

So, I got my nose pierced this past weekend. What, you are wondering, does this have to do with vaginas? Well, I'll tell you: ever since getting my nose piercing, I've realized that unless I decide to go for my nipples or my clit, I don't think I could possibly pierce anything that could hurt more than my nose (and even that honestly wasn't so bad, and I'm a wuss). So I've been bouncing around the idea of getting my labia pierced, mostly as an idle musing, but also as something I might want to do sometime down the road (when both my pocketbook and my nose have recovered).

My question is this: other than the normal health risks associated with piercing (possible infection, equipment that wasn't properly sterilized, lack of skill on the part of the piercer, etc), would there be any extra health risks specifically associated with getting my labia pierced? Would I be able to have sex during the initial healing period? If any of you lovely ladies in here are pierced, can you tell me about your experiences? Do they catch on things? (I hear that belly button piercings do that *a lot*, actually, and I can imagine it would be annoying if they always caught on my panties).

Thanks :)

I'd recommend asking the question on one of the body modification lj communities, or showing them this link, to see if any of them has advice/expierence.

do you have links to any of those communities?

kickass, thanks - I'd run off to make dinner and figured if links were needed, I could do that when food was feasted on :)
