 everyone has a different experience regarding pain, but the long term results are usually worth any momentary discomfort.

What are the long term results that are so great?

I read this:
 
 "Doug Malloy, who was one of the 'grandfathers of late 20th century piercing practices' and 'created a number of the piercings now considered standard', wrote much of the ancient history he claimed for piercing himself and that most of this was probably his own invention: 'he never produced any concurrent written records of his findings'"
 
 here: http://homepages.primex.co.uk/~lesleyah/factoids.htm
 
 is that true?
 
 Must have been a great guy to manufacture such a story. I am not sure what I believe now.

some piercings are purely aesthetic, but some are functional as well.  most genital piercings were designed to enhance the sexual pleasure of either the pierced person, or their partner.
 
 or, to quote a good friend of mine: "it makes fucking better."
