Lorum (piercing)

A type of male genital piercing

A hafada piercing, a type of scrotal piercing

Lorum piercing is a type of male genital piercing that is located at the juncture where the penis meets the scrotum. The term "lorum" is a portmanteau of "low" and "frenum," indicating its position lower than a typical frenum piercing.

Procedure

The lorum piercing is performed by inserting a needle through the skin at the base of the penis, where it meets the scrotum. This piercing is typically done with a captive bead ring or a barbell. The procedure is similar to other surface piercings and requires careful attention to hygiene to prevent infection.

Healing and Aftercare

Healing time for a lorum piercing can vary, but it generally takes between 2 to 3 months. Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure healing and to prevent complications. This includes cleaning the area with saline solution and avoiding any irritation or trauma to the piercing site.

Cultural Significance

While the lorum piercing is primarily a form of body modification for aesthetic purposes, it can also have personal or cultural significance for some individuals. It is less common than other genital piercings, such as the Prince Albert piercing or the frenum piercing.
