But I do have one regret. I had gotten along quite well with the guy in the couple when I first met him. We texted while Taylor and I were still long distance and because I was working at a sex shop he was quite transparent with me about considering a dick piercing. We chatted about aftercare and the saltwater rinses he’d have to do.

One day he sent me a text informing me that he wanted to send me a video but it had his penis in it, and was that okay? I was so curious I immediately said yes.

The video started on a mirror with his waist framed in shot. Lacking his face all I saw was his flaccid penis and a small glass of water. His new piercing gleamed like a single eye at the tip of his cock. He grabbed his limp penis and in a gruff voice demanded, “Talk you son of a bitch!”

He grabbed his floppy freshly pierced dick and dunked it in the salt water while insisting, “We know you know! Spill it!”

He pulled it up and did a gibbering little penis voice, pleading, “Please, I don’t know anything-“

Then he shoved it back into the water, flopping it around as if the water boarded dick was flailing in distress making outrageous “Blub-hrygh-ghlugggh,” sounds.

It was hands down one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. I watched it over and over until tears were streaming down my face. When things ended terribly with that couple and we cut contact I deleted the video as it seemed inappropriate to keep now that we weren’t friends.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Study for "Windsor Castle in Modern Times" by Sir Edwin Landseer, 1840s. (x)

This haunting image is widely regarded as the earliest known photograph of a member of the British royal family.

It depicts Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, and was created around 1842 using one of photography’s earliest processes, the daguerreotype.

At the time, photography was still a technological novelty, having been publicly introduced only three years earlier in 1839.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were enthusiastic supporters of the new medium. They quickly recognized photography’s potential to document family life, public events, and historical moments.

Under their patronage, photography gained prestige throughout Britain and became increasingly accessible to the middle class during the Victorian era.

By the 1850s, photographic portraits were replacing painted miniatures as the preferred way for families to preserve their likenesses.

The royal family’s willingness to sit for photographs helped legitimize the practice and accelerate its adoption across Europe and North America.

Queen Victoria amassed one of the largest photographic collections of the 19th century.

By the end of her reign in 1901, the Royal Collection contained tens of thousands of photographs, creating an unparalleled visual record of Victorian Britain and the royal family itself.
