Kerry 2/9/03
I posted on your message board last month how I wish I had found your site sooner and read the warning about lever-back earrings. Unfortunately, as I said, I ripped my earlobe out on one. It is not healing well and I was hoping for some advice on how to get it fixed. I attached a picture of my ear. Help! I would like to get it fixed and get back in hoops soon. What are the options? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! btw, love your site! (Pic here) 

annie 2/11/03
Kerry , you need to go to a plastic surgeon the get your lobe repaired. It is very repairable, it might be costly but well worth it..I know that if I had my lobe ripped like that I would have it done right away because going without my big hoops would never ever work..I would be like a lost soul...lol..if you look on the web they have alot of information on the subject of torn earlobe repair..Good luck Kerry and hope to see you with your big hoops again...

In common with a lot of the other correspondence on this site I was amazed that I am not alone in being crazy about hooped earrings. Having told friends about this in the past I was made to feel that it was very unusual. Yet I have collected pictures for years now. There is just something so magical & sexy about hoops on a woman. I have always tried to analyze why this should be & have never worked out why, but who cares, it is just such a good enhancer of female beauty. 
Hoop wearers like Holly Valance just don't seem half as attractive when they're not wearing them.
My wife wears large hoops from time to time & they really do so suit her, though she doesn't wear them quite as much as I would like.
Having discovered that I am not alone in this passion it is interesting to note how the passion varies amongst us, those who prefer silver, those who like multiple hoops, those who think men should wear them.
Personally I prefer gold though any metallic ones are still good (plastic ones don't quite have the same appeal, don't move in the right way), I prefer one hoop per ear, and as for men, I hope it never catches on, though I love hoops I find them very feminine, I certainly would never wear them & I actually like the
definition of women only wearing them. (Hey we're all different)
Still, heres to finding out that there are quite a few of us out there

Kerry 2/16/03
Thanks for the info annie, I did figure that plastic surgery was what I would have to do, but there are so many types, and they all claim they are the best.  Some say a straight stitch is best, others talk about Zplasty and Jellyroll. Has anybody had any of these? How did it turn out? Were you happy with the results? I want to do what will work best and I don't want to end up with a bigger mess. I want to get back to wearing my hoops and looking sexy again! 

Cherrie 2/17/03
I think they used that Z thingy when they did my lobe. There is still a mark, and my earlobe looks different, slightly shorter. It was a pretty bad rip, so I guess I should be happy. I had it re-pierced awhile back and have made it back to hoops. I am wearing a smaller but heavy one in that ear, hoping to stretch it a little so that it matches my other ear. 

Karl 2/17/03
Wooo Cherie, are you the Cherrie i discussed with,6 months ago. Did you rip your earrings during sex time? How about the felling? Please answer me !

Cherrie 2/19/03
Yes, Karl, I am. I am not sure I trust you but I will put a good foot forward.  It was during sex. The actual night was wonderful, but my ear hurt like hell the next morning. Over the next two days, it got very swollen, infected, and ugly. I went to a doctor, and made up an excuse. He treated and bandaged it. When I took it off about three days later, I realized I needed to see a plastic surgeon.  

Karl 2/21/03
Cherrie, do you regret with hindsight to have ripped your earings? What did you say to the doctor? what kind of excuses? Did he trust you? Thanks to your answer and if you regret, i'm sorry of having encouraged to rip your earrings...

chocolata 2/21/03
I am looking for a pair of 4" hoops. I followed the link on your site, however, the site was down. I will try back but do you have any other sites that I might try? I NEED BIGGER HOOPS! I think I have a sickness :) Just let me know. Thanks!     P.S. Love this site!

Minotaur 2/22/03
hi Chocalata, Check eBay for big hoops. I bought several pair of 4" hoops and even a pair of 6" hoops. Unfortunately I wear big hoops very rarely now as I have stretched my bottom holes to 00gs (9mm) and big hoops just don't hang right in any of my other ear piercings. Besides most people just think it is strange that a guy can wear big hoops :-}     Minotaur

Pattie 2/23/03
This is going to sound funny, but at age 22, I still don't have my ears pierced! Lately, I have been having these dreams. In them I am wearing these big hoop earrings. I am free and wild! I know it's just a dream, but part of me wants to live it out! At least a little ;) I even went out and bought myself a real big pair of hoops. I want to get my ears pierced and wear them, but my earlobes are very soft, and someone told me that because of that, earrings would quickly cut out of them. Is this true? What if I only wear them a little? I'm a little frightened, but I so want to do this! Can anyone give me some advice? btw, This place is fantastic! 

Karl 02/24/03
Pattie, what a super dream!!! even though your 2 earlobes are very soft, you can't cut them only by wearing big hoops during short time.  Even you wear very heavy hoops all the days on your soft earlobes, your earlobes cant' be cut off before at least five years...  Anycase, pierce your ears and try hoops more and more heavy and big each time and you will see.  The only way to cut earlobes is ripping deliberately the earrings from your ears and it need a strong traction... Believe me!  Have a nice earlobes' piercings! Oh , how many earholes on each lobes do you want?

annie 02/24/03
Hi Pattie, go for it girl, get those beautiful lobes pierced and put those big hoops in and enjoy yourself!! You will love the feeling of them bouncing off your cheeks and swinging from your newly pierced ears, the feeling from within is special as well. very personal to me anyway, I would never be complete with out big hoops in my lobes..lol, kooky? whos knows but thats me.. your right about this being a great site. you are not alone, get those ears pierced right away and let us know how you feel. The look is stunning, sexy and very classic.. HOOP IT UP Pattie....

Nicole 2/25/02
I have been watching my namesake Nicole Kidman wearing huge earrings on all these shows for the last year. Now I find this site, and it has turned my whole view of this upside-down. All these years, I have seen the rich and famous wearing big earrings and thought it was about glamour. Now I find out about this sexual stuff.  What a joke on us regular folk! Their getting off on it. If this is all true she must have been near orgasmic wearing that pair that were almost twisting her ears off. I see no point in letting them have all the fun. I am off to my local shop! 

Pattie 02/25/03
Thank you for such quick replies, it makes me feel at home! About an hour after I made my post, I decided enough is enough, and was down at the mall getting my ears pierced! It was so exciting! I know it's no big deal getting your ears pierced, but this was more about living out a fantasy! For now I have two cute little gold balls in my ears. They look lovely! I am suppose to wear them for four to six weeks.  I did not ask about wearing big hoops because I was embarrassed.  I so cannot wait!!  I was reading that thing about earrings being a turn on and I am so excited! I had the dream again last night, and when I woke, I felt the little earrings in my ears and was so happy!  I got out of bed and went into the bathroom and held the hoops I bought up to my cheeks to see how they will look and to feel how they felt against my neck and cheeks.  I am so excited! Thank you Karl and Annie, after reading what you said, I don't feel weird about this any more! 

annie 2/25/03
Hey Pattie, congrats to your pierced ears!!! I think that is great you did it so soon..you are not weird at all my dear .You are just like alot of us who love BIG hoops..Cant wait till we hear from you after you try them for the first time...I know you will love the feel and the way they look on you..your excitement is shared by many i am sure...Enjoy your new pierced ears and email anytime...cant wait to hear from you again...good move girl!!!

Karl 2/25/03
Please Patty for thanking us, send us photos of yours freshly pierced earlobes!!!! What about the two photos I submitted (gallery 24) The most numerous is the better ?(even though you must pierce 20 times your earlobes?) The thicker is the better ? (even though you must stretch your earholes?) Thanks for your comments, everybody!!! This WEB site is wonderfull!!!!

Pattie 2/27/03
Four days down and twenty-four to go! I am soo excited!  I guess I am talking way too much, but this is the only place I can vent!  I kind of know what may have brought this on, and since you all are so nice, I'm gona bore you and share! My boyfriend and I were being intimate about a month ago, and he started nuzzling and biting at my ear. It was driving me wild!  Later, as I was falling asleep, I was watching VH1, a TV channel that has music videos on it. I can't remember the group, but the girl singing was wearing those big kinda hoops. That was the first night I had the dream! Anyhow, I kinda OCD'ed on the whole thing and have been obsessing ever since! Hey, it's fun! Btw, a girl I know suggested I get a pair of smaller endless hoops and that I could change into them by taking my backs off and kinda following the studs through backwards. I think I read the same thing here somewhere, and that they will heal faster. I'm gonna wait a bit, too chicken right now!  Karl, I looked at that picture, and it's just not for me. Too many! I would look tribal! Annie, does it really change the way you feel?  I am so excited! I said that, I know!  Now I'm just going on and on so I'll say bye. Bye!

Kim 2/27/03
Hi Pattie. Don't be chicken, that does work. I did it. The studs they use for piercing are pretty thick. Look for some small hollow hoops that are about the same thickness, then put a little Vaseline on them.  just stick the little point on the stud into it and slide it forward. The hoops leave the front and the back totally uncovered so the air keeps them dry and they heal a lot faster. Good luck! 

Pattie 2/28/03
Kim, thanks for the tip! I bought a small pair of endless tube hoops. They are about 3/4 of an inch. There was another smaller pair, but I don't think I could have twisted them enough to get them to work without wrecking them. They are very thin and look about the same size as the studs. Wish me luck, I'm going to try to put them in tonight!  My boyfriend saw my pierced ears for the first time today and said they looked very sexy!  This is all like a cool dream coming true! 

Pattie 3/1/03
I attached a picture. I did it! It went pretty well, except after I pushed it through, I couldn't get it to slide back, so I had to spin them both all the way around. I guess it was a little thicker then I thought because it's a real tight fit! It's smaller around then I guessed as well, more like 1/2. I lucked out because my sis left her camera over my house, I hope you can use the picture cause I have no idea what I am doing with that stuff! 
JLG (Webmaster) Picture is fine! 

annie 3/3/03
Way to go Pattie, your on the way to wearing your big beautiful hoops..Anyday now!! I am as excited as you are too LOL..Good thing to get the little ones in to aid in the healing process, you might be able to put the big ones in in 3 weeks from now just see how the lobes feel, only you can tell when you are ready, "Yes" to your question about the feeling that I get when wearing big hoops, I feel sexy, confident, ready for anything, The feeling of them bouncing off my neck and cheeks, the way they pull on my lobes are part of me and I would never feel complete without them in my ears..I know our webmaster will remind us of safety factors and that is a very good thing to be reminded of..but I sleep with them in most the time for different reasons..lol..we wont go there now,.and the kind of hoops I wear are not snap bar closing type, maybe I will send a pic of the styles sometime for you to see..But they are all BIG hoops..I am going no and on now so I will say bye soon...Enjoy yourself and again WAY TO GO GIRL. If you would like,email anytime and we can go no and on and on about our big hoops...see ya later..bye

James 3/6/03
Is anyone here particularly aroused by a woman wearing TWO large silver hoops in each ear? Personally, I think it's overdoing it although I do find two medium or small hoops in each ear particularly arousing.
Is anyone else from the UK? Do you want to chat from home? How about forming a Hoop Earrings fan club for the UK? (or the US , for that matter).

Pattie 3/6/03
You're back!  I was saddened when I tried to find you last week and the site was gone. Nothing new to report on my ears, all is going well, I just wanted to say I am glad you are not gone for good!

thad 3/14/03
Isnt the internet great! The only way the people with similar thoughts can meet up and find others with the same feelings as themselves! I love women wearing big hoops, but I love more seeing women with two, three or four piercings in each ear. I cannot work out why, but a girl with two or three big hoops is just fantastic to see. Any girls out there want to email me some pics of them wearing two or three hoops in each ear? Most appreciated if you do! email me at thadtraxler@yahoo.co.uk

Pattie 3/15/03
Only one more week to go!  I am so excited, I had that dream again last night! They are probably healed well enough now, but I want to play it safe. I did hang a key off one of my little hoops just to get a feel. It is so strange to feel something pulling at you that way. Very sexual and daring!  The little hoops I am wearing now I can't feel at all. I went shopping again and found a pair as big as bangles! I so can't wait!

Kim 3/20/03
Pattie, It's time!  Please let us know if you have tried your big hoops on!  If you are like me, you will find it thrilling!  Give this a try, after a nice hot shower, comb your hair back, and slip them in. Go into a dark room and just let your mind feel them as the sway and touch your neck. I have found this to be rather fun *smile* Please let us know!

Sammi 3/22/03
Hi guys.Been reading back thru yr postings!This site is so cool!!!I am a big hoop fan - never, ever, ever wear studs or drops at all!!! Why would you want to???They are soooo dull.Hoops are big and bold and tell the world who is coming.Do any of you girls like to wear maybe two hoops at once? I lurve that feeling when they jangle together and stretch my lobes....mmm, feel good just thinkin about it. Considering getting a third piercing in each ear - whaddya think? is that too much?

Pattie 3/22/03
They're in!!  OMG! I think I overdid it (my ears are so sore!), but it was a dream come true! I put in my biggest hoops first thing when I woke up. They felt so strange!! I loved how the would gently touch my neck and playfully tugged at my ears!  I think I have become a hoop addict! I have a date tonight!! (so to speak) Wish me luck!

Pattie 3/29/03
What a change in my love life! I can't say if its how I feel about myself, if its encouraging my boyfriend, or me just living out my fantasy. After one heck of a weekend, I went back to my small hoops for the workweek. It is a little tricky changing back and forth, but I'm getting the hang of it. For fun, I wore my big hoops to work on Thursday. I never got so much attention!  I got a few dirty looks from some of my female coworkers, but the male reaction was universal!  I'm spending this weekend over with my boyfriends, and have my big hoops packed!  So where is everyone? I know something happened here cause the site was gone for awhile. Hope I'm not the only survivor! Bye for now all! 

Carlos 3/29/03
Hello Everyone! Great site by the way. Do any one of you girls have "reversible" hoop earrings? I recently bought my GF a really pair of this kind. She refuses to wear them and says she has never heard of wearing earrings backward. Complains that it takes too long to put on. Any one of you had similar
problems? If it is so troublesome why make em? 

Kim 3/30/03
Carlos, I love reversibles. Esp the two tones, its like two pairs of earrings for the price of one!  If her holes are small, they can be tricky if you don't have a mirror. You could always help her. My holes have a little room so they go right in with no problem. It' a little weird watching something come out of the hole tho, a little creepy the first few times you do it. I guess you never get to watch the back of your own ears!  This might be what bothers her. 
Now Pattie, you have just scratched the surface of the fun you can have with hoops. It changes the way you feel about yourself, and the way you look to others. It changes all interaction. It proudly proclaims that you are adventurous, a little wild, and not afraid to show it!  It's Sunday now, so I hope you had all the fun and adventure you hoped for!  Go girl!

Zap 3/30/03
My wife have doublet pierced ears. She wears "reversible" hoop earrings in the bottom and a diamond studs in the top. She will not wear real hoop earrings.

Pattie 3/31/03
What a fantastic weekend! I don't want to take my hoops off because that will mean it's over. *cries* We went out to dinner, dancing, and then had a great night at his place! Sunday, I even left them on when I took my shower!  What are reversibles? 

L 3/31/03
Pattie, congratulations and welcome to the world of hoops! Reversibles are earrings that can be worn front to back or back to front (you insert the post from behind your ear-lobe). They usually have different patterns on the two sides. I don't like reversibles either, they are difficult and sometimes painful to insert from the back. take care! -L

Geneviève 4/4/03
Ce site est merveilleux, il m'a été signalé par mon petit ami qui m'a supplié de me faire deux trous supplémentaires dans chaque oreille (je n'avais qu'un trou auparavant...). Je porte désormais des créoles (hoops) suivies de deux petits diamants. C'est plutôt mignon, et je songe à me faire un piercing au cartilage. Bisous de Paris !!!  JLG (Webmaster) Anybody know French ?

Pattie 4/5/03
I have not got the hang of changing earrings yet. I had a wonderful weekend last week, and waited until Tuesday before changing to my smaller hoops. My earlobes were a little red and swollen. I guess I wore them a little too much for being so newly pierced. There are two girls I work with that really give me dirty looks when I wear them to work, so I needed to change them. I still have my small hoops in and probably will keep them in over the weekend, but I am having some fun hanging charms from the small hoops and even tried a feather! I guess that used to be in style a long time ago from the comments I got, but I liked it!  I loved the feel of it on my neck and shoulder! 

Karl 4/11/03
I know french (i'm french so ..) So i can transalte (poorly soory the message of genevieve) Message of genevieve :  This web site is fabulous. My boyfriend showed me it and supplied me to make two extra holes in each earlobes. ( I had only one hole in each ear before) Now i'm wearing hoops followed by 2 little diamants. it's quite pretty and i think to make a piercing at the top of the ear. Kiss from Paris. 
End of message,soory for mistakes of trnaslation but i hope the main meaning is here.
Message to genevieve in french(public): Si tu as un e-mail, stp envoies le moi, on pourra disucter de percages a l'oreille, d'anneaux, de jeux avec les boucles d'oreilles et de bien autres choses en francais.... bisous mon e-mail : karlsmfr@yahoo.fr 
Message to every body : Genevive is right : this site is marvelous

Pattie 4/18/03
Things are so quiet here! My life has been anything but! I am no longer exclusive with my boyfriend, in part due to the hoops! One too many cute guys have asked me out, and he did not want to commit. We still go out and have some wonderful times, but I have since been out with two other guys. I would have never expected something as simple as earrings to change my life!
