It's a men's piercing, in a very particularly sensitive part of the anatomy.
'Lineage'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

heh heh We could whitefont PA. It's a genital piercing. For the fellows .
duh, forgot where I was posting for a moment.
I think I learned, "You better let him out before he suffocates" from a book called How to Eat Like a Child and Other Lessons in Not Being Grown Up. Does anybody else remember that book?

A PA is a penis piercing. Two theories on why it was done:
1. Albert was a randy beast, and HRH had him done as part of a chastity restraint.
2. Albert had an unruly member, and tied the ring to his leg to improve and maintain the drape of his trousers.

That was the story I've always seen referenced.
"Unruly member." Oh, I am so twelve.
unruly member
what does this mean? it stood at attention all the time?
"Do you have Prince Albert in the can?" was a fairly common question asked of shopkeepers and tobacconists. Phone pranksters used it so they could add, "Then let him out!" and hang up and giggle. IDEK, back in the early days of telephone kids made their own fun.
Not just the early days. I used to get that (and Peter Pan in a jar) as late as 1995.
it stood at attention all the time?
Um, random and unpredictable movement, I would think. Partial attention. Not seemly for a royal.
I think in his shoes I'd have opted for bucking fashion trends in favor of something more concealing rather than body modification.
