Piercing Our Past Bod Mod in the ancient world Body modification, ie. piercing, scarring, branding, tattooing, etc. have been a part of womans adventure through hisher sexual history. Although in the past decade or so, body mod has seen a resurgence, for many years, anything beyond ear piercing was simply not acceptable. Hold over from the reign of prudery of Victoria assured society of its place in mediocrity until the subcultures busted through the veil of societys disdainful sniffs once more. Today, piercing and tattooing, scarification and alteration are nearly common place as people take on outward signs of their personalities. Most cultures throughout history felt strongly about the use of adornment, permanent or temporary, as a sign of pride and selfconfidence. The art of skin painting with henna has seen the light of current fashion and womens magazines. Bridestobe used hand painting as a way to make herself more attractive to her mate. Tribal and cultural bod mod is seen in ancient and nearmodern myths and rituals. Both for the religious connotations and for the sexuality involved. In the early history of the Filipino peoples, the males would have their penises pierced with small gold rods in the fashion that today is called a palang. Both ends of the rod were fashioned with tiny spurs. During sex, the man used extreme gentleness to insert his pierced manhood into the woman. And as his erection occurred, the spurs dug into the very delicate flesh of the females inner sanctum. He was unable to withdraw until his erection had receded by whatever means.
