Play piercing is body piercing that is performed for sexual pleasure rather than aesthetic result. The items used to piece a subject during in play piercing are removed at the end of each session and the wounds are allowed to heal. The needles placed in the skin during a play piercing session are typically just there for that session. These needles are typically placed so that both ends can be accessed, allowing for twisting and pulling on the them to deliver various sensations to the person being pierced. The endorphin high produced by play piercing is quite intense and, in some, can induce orgasm.
