April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI don't know if anyone else feels this way, but penis piercings make me cringe hard. The amount of pain there would be getting one and the idea of having more holes in my dick just sounds the opposite of pleasant.

MemberThere's always a penis. Dammit.
This one could be edited out though.

MemberAs long as you don't intend to pierce the smooth muscle tissue, it's just in the skin, I believe. If you pierce the smooth muscle, you're giving yourself ED.

MemberSo it's not just me then? Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks that.

MemberHate to necro, but neither of these are true. Penile piercings can be done at any point along the shaft (piercings on the underside, for example, are quite common.) In any penile piercing, you are penetrating the spongy membrane that fills with blood to cause an erection (there is no "smooth muscle" in the penis, and besides, piercing a muscle does not remove its functionality.) Phallic piercings extremely rarely if ever have an impact on sexual performance, and they certainly don't cause erectile dysfunction. Do educate yourself before spreading misinformation about something you find unpleasant.

MemberWhilst I agree that on piercing safety, the there is in fact smooth muscle. All blood vessels contain a layer in their walls of smooth muscle tissues to allow them to constrict and dilate, and the cavernosa is no different.
