Before we begin, one has to understand the information about Male Genital Piercings. I have received this source from Wiki and edited some parts based on my knowledge and research. Nipple piercings are also considered to be shunned. But as for some information knowleadge I have included them.
The history of nipple, navel and genital piercing has been particularly misrepresented as many of the myths promulgated It is misrepresented that genital piercings started from ancient Egyptian aristocrats and was depicted in Egyptian statuary,a claim that is widely repeated. Other sources say there are no records to support an historical practice for navel piercing. However, records do exist that refer to practices of nipple and genital piercing in various cultures prior to the 20th century. Kama Sutra dated to the Gupta Empire of Ancient India, describes genital piercing to permit sexual enhancement by inserting pins and other objects into the foreskin of the penis.The Dayak tribesmen of Borneo passed a shard of bone through their glans for the opposite reason, to diminish their sexual activity. In the Jewish Shabbat, there may be mention of a genital piercing in the probition against the kamuz in passage 24a ,which medieval French Talmudic commenter Rashi interpreted as a chastity piercing for women. Other interpreters have, however, suggested that the kumaz was rather a pendant shaped like a vulva or a girdle.
Nipple piercing may have been a sign of masculinity for the soldiers of Rome. Nipple piercing has also been connected to rites of passage for both British and American sailors who had traveled beyond a significant latitude and longitude.Western women of the 14th century sometimes sported pierced as well as rouged nipples left visible by the low-cut dresses fashionable in the day. It is widely reported that in the 1890s, nipple rings called "bosom rings" resurfaced as a fashion statement among women of the West, who would wear them on one or both sides, but if such a trend existed, it was short-lived.
