Sex with a genital piercing

Worth knowing

How long should you wait before having sex when you’ve just had a genital piercing? There’s no simple answer to this question, and it depends on the type of piercing and how well you heal. In general, you should avoid sex for a while, to avoid rubbing on the wound and let it recover in peace.

Once it’s healed, you’ll be able to enjoy your jewellery to the full. It goes without saying that the piercing should be cleaned thoroughly before and after sex, to prevent infection. You should also use a condom initially, to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
