There is no record of this happening and as the Prince was not popular with all, his critics would certainly have mentioned this were it true. When writing any article a good journalist checks their sources, otherwise it's fiction.

They're mentioned in the Kama Sutra, an ancient Sanskrit text on the art of love circa first century C.E. It describes in detail a variety of penis inserts and pins as a means of enhancing sexual enjoyment for a man and his partner. The myth is pervasive that Prince Albert wore a genital piercing--but he didn't. There is great deal of information about genital (and other) piercings and many other myths are dispelled in "The Piercing Bible--The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing" (Random House, 2009). http://piercingbible.com/ You provide some excellent information in your article, however, genital piercings date back much further in history than 19th century England.
