What is a Prince Albert piercing?

Penis Piercing History

Prince Albert was the husband of Queen Victoria of England, and at the time of her reign, ultra-tight men's trousers were in vogue. To avoid an unseemly bulge in his pants, a man needed a means to hold his penis to one side or the other. One method was to have the penis pierced and held by a hook on the inside of the trousers. It is not surprising that looser pants soon came back into style.
