The clitoral hood is a modern piercing developed over the past 10 years or so. It is located in the loose skin that covers the clitoris and can be done vertical or horizontal.

ADVANTAGES:
The main reason to get this one is Sexual enhancement caused by the jewelry's contact with the clitoris during sexual activity.

DISADVANTAGES AND CONCERNS:
No sexual contact without a latex barrier for 6 months. Interruption of sexual activity. May interrupt sex due to soreness for a week or two.

MAIN HASSLES & HEALING TIME:

HISTORY:.
It has been said that the navel piercing dates back to the time of ancient Egypt and was a sign of royalty. However there is no proof that this is the case. The piercing seems to be a modern invention that over the past 10 years has grown to be very popular and helped to bring Body Piercing out of the Underground and into popular culture. Except for the ear lobe it is the most common piercing today. I figure I have done well over 3000 navels and still do between 10-30 a Month.

ADVANTAGES:
Other then adornment the navel piercing really has no other advantage or use.
