Like all genital piercings, depending on jewellery and placement, they may provide additional stimulation to one or both partners during sexual intercourse.

In contemporary practice, these piercings often simply fill a decorative role, rather than a purely sexual one.

Another ring is linked to it, and to that, a metal disk with identifying information on it, including the name of her Master, Sir Stephen.

Many types of jewellery can be found in labia minora piercings, although rings are the most commonly used, both as initial jewelry, and on a long-term basis.

Rings or other specialised jewellery may be worn to block access to the vagina, as a form of short-term or long-term chastity piercing.
