Apadravya piercing

The Apadravya is a male genital body piercing.

Like the Ampalling, the Apadravya is a piercing that passes through the glans penis; while the Ampallang passes horizontally through the glans, the Apadravya passes vertically through the glans from top to bottom, almost always placed centrally and passing through the urethra unless it is purposefully offset. The piercing is normally done on a slight forward angle. An Apadravya is essentially a combined Prince Albert (PA) and Reverse PA (sometimes called a half-Apadravya) combined. The jewellry is nearly always a straight barbell.

The Apadravya is one of the more intense male piercings, passing as it does through the most sensitive part of the penis; it is generally thought of as the most pleasurable for female sexual partners.

Variations include the shaft apadravya which pierces the shaft; the magic cross which is a combined apadravya and ampalling; and the apadydoe.
