I will be getting a PA done in a week or two, and from browsing image galleries etc. I have seen what looks like two different jewellery positions for the PA, and have replicated them (roughly) by playing with a spare bcr (see picture).

I by far prefer the first image, where the ring closely follows the curve of the glans, rather than hanging below the penis.

Is the difference in how the jewellery sits, due to: how far down the urethra it is pierced? The internal diameter of the jewellery? The angle of the pierced hole? Or is it another factor?

Thanks!

It may be possible to get PA jewelry to fit the way it does in the first picture, but you likely won’t be able to do that until the piercing is healed. While the first picture may appeal to you aesthetically, wearing jewelry that fits that way would likely prove to be uncomfortable with a healing piercing. The pressure that would be put on the piercing would be uncomfortable as well as irritating to a new piercing.

Placing the jewelry further down the shaft will not likely result in the fit you want…in fact, it would probably have the opposite affect. Because a ring is the same size in all direction, and you would need a bigger ring to reach further down the shaft, the ring would then hang more on the bottom side because of it’s size.

The varying sizes and shapes of different people’s anatomy affect what will and won’t work for each person. It may simply not be possible for you to get a fit exactly like you see in the picture. And if it is, it’s something you’ll probably only be able to achieve once the piercing has healed and toughened up a bit.
