This is *great*. To me it’s not the specifics of pierced nipples (though lordy they are sexy, and great on women of all ages, and you should keep them forever-and-ever-can-I-get-an-amen) but rather that it is your story of triumph in finding new personal and sexual confidence and how you turned something you didn’t like about yourself into something you now love about yourself. This is touching and uplifting and the way you write about it sounds like you are glowing.
