Most tongue piercings are removed by unscrewing the back off the underneath of your tongue, which is relatively easy. The most common difference between kissing with a tongue piercing is the addition of something cold into an otherwise warm situation. The feeling of a cold ball or bar as your kissing can be exciting for some, plus for the pierced person the tugging on your piercing is meant to be like a party for the nerve-endings in your tongue.
For oral, this is where I get squeamish. The mixture of a warm tongue and a cold piece of metal is a surprising delight for both women and men receiving oral. It also adds pressure and can be somewhat of a tease. So, if you're thinking of getting a tongue piercing purely to improve your tekkers, think again. That being said, both men and women may enjoy giving it should they think the piercing has upped their game.
How do we defeat the dreaded stigma of tongue piercings? The drawing attention to your mouth, the rumour that it improves oral sex, it all adds up to the ridiculous notion that you are somehow more interested in sex because you have a sparkly ring in your mouth. In fact, tongue piercing originates from ancient tribes who used it to draw blood to regain favour of the gods and create an altered state of consciousness for communication. Tongue piercings have been linked to receding gums and chipping teeth.
It may also increase the risk of bacterial infections in your mouth and can fracture existing dental work. If you have your piercing for a number of years, the constant pressure against the back of your teeth can cause them to move and create gaps but this can happen without oral jewellery too.

Heavy barbells, especially, will increase the chances of this happening. Accidentally biting down on a tongue ring can chip or crack your teeth. If your tongue ring is too far forward, and regularly touches the back of your front teeth, you can also risk rubbing the enamel off of these teeth. For the first week after you get your piercing, you'll need to stick to a liquid diet.
Popsicles, jello, pudding, seedless watermelon, bananas, ice cream and warm soup not hot! To ensure you receive enough vitamins, drink lots of energy drinks that contain electrolytes Powerade is a good one , or drinks with extra vitamins added such as Vitamin Water.

Read on to find out what symptoms are typical during this time, how your aftercare may vary from week to week, when you can safely change your jewelry, and more.
Proper aftercare techniques are crucial to the outcome of your tongue piercing. Much of this depends on where your tongue piercing is placed, as well as how many new piercings you have. A little bit of swelling is normal — after all, your tongue now has a hole in it. Soft, bland foods — like applesauce and yogurt — are preferred. You can do a salt rinse to help minimize any pain and swelling. Ready-made rinses may be available for purchase from your piercer, or you can make your own at home.
Use it several times per day at first to encourage the healing process. Pain and swelling should start to subside by the end of the first week. You may find it easier to eat, but you should still stick with soft foods at this point.
Keep up with your salt rinses, and avoid extensive physical contact with others. Overall pain and swelling should be done by this point.
You may start eating harder, crunchier foods, but do so with care. If any discomfort develops, stick with soft foods for a bit longer. If possible, rinse your mouth out with salt water after eating and drinking. This can help prevent food and other irritants from getting stuck around the jewelry.
