A guiche piercing is a body piercing through the perineum. Guiche piercings are much more common in men than in women. Although a guiche normally runs perpendicular to the direction of the penis, lateral placements are possible. A series of guiche piercings in parallel to the direction of the penis is called a guiche ladder, [ 1 ] and might commonly be seen as an extension of a frenum ladder. Depending on the anatomy of the individual, a guiche piercing can heal quickly with few complications, like a normal piercing, or it may require specialized initial jewelry and care, [ 2 ] like a surface piercing.
Due to the proximity to the anus, good hygiene is important both during the initial healing period, and on an ongoing basis after the piercing is healed. The estimated healing time for a guiche piercing is between 6 and 9 months. Both captive bead rings and barbell-style jewelry are worn in guiche piercings, both as initial jewelry as well as after the piercing has healed.
Guiche piercings can be stretched to large sizes and can accommodate flesh tunnel style jewelry, [ 4 ] although the potential discomfort to the bearer may be radically increased. Guiche weights may be attached to the piercing, causing added sexual stimulation. In the most extreme cases, both rings are cemented , glued , or even soldered shut for a semi-permanent removable only within a surgical setting alternative to a chastity device to be worn over months or years at a time.
