From Wikipedia:
"In modern times the Prince Albert piercing was developed by
Jim Ward<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Ward_%28body_piercer%29>in
the early 1970s. In West Hollywood <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Hollywood>
(a gay village<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_village>of
Los Angeles <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles>),
Ward met Doug Malloy<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Malloy>and
Fakir Musafar <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fakir_Musafar>.
Together these men further developed the Prince Albert
piercing. Perhaps more fatefully, Malloy published a
pamphlet, *Body & Genital Piercing in Brief<http://www.bmezine.com/news/jimward/20040315-p.html>
,* in which he concocted fanciful histories of genital
piercings in particular. These ersatz tales---which included
the notion that Prince Albert <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Albert>
invented the piercing that shares his name in order to tame
the appearance of his large penis in tight trousers---are
widely circulated as urban legend<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend>.
No historical proof of their veracity has been located
independent of Malloy's assertions."
Another one bites the dust.
