apadravya

Pronounced:   ap·uh·drava·yuh 
 

A male genital piercing. It enters at the side of the frenum and travels to exit at the top of the glands.

In the Karma Sutra, the term Apadravya refers to any form of vaginally stimulating device. Among the Dravidian people of South India the word also refers to a device worn through the pierced penis. The piercing was done vertically through the penis, usually behind the gland of the penis. The piercing today is normally done through the glands.
