In college I received a BJ from a girl at a party who had one.  Knocked my freaking socks off.  After that I actively searched out ladies with tongue rings.

Heck, we love them just for the message they convey. As Chris Rock once famously said: "If a girl has a tongue ring, she'll probably suck your dick."  

I like piercings and I've been told the tongue is not painful.  Its like being too thin or too rich.  Its a nice problem to have, considering the alternatives.  And being piercingless has caused me great embarrassment over the years.

Tongue ring or no tongue ring... no difference, it's the tecnique that makes the difference.

...ooooooo myyy

@ brenn97 : lol...that's awesome!!

@ CaitlynFBSM : i have an oral fixation so i'm constantly playing with mine but i gotta tell myself to quit it...i wouldn't want it to tear.

***back to the original question....i always knew i wanted one. i got mine done at 15 y/o (a christmas present to myself). honestly i felt like i lost a tooth when it was over with.... no biggie. i can't say there's really any pain but after it's tender & swollen. i hate all the horror stories that go around about getting one. after that experience i've been addicted to piercings ever since and got my ears, nose (removed), belly button & my hood done. =)

i would have to say that it's all about the technique. if you don't know how to suck **** without a tongue ring then it really isn't going to help you out much if you decide to get one (figuratively speaking....no intentions on being rude).

i love oral so it was just a bonus!!!
