I have a friend who is interested in a Princess Albertina but has a few questions that I am unable to answer - mainly, comfort factor with regards to sex and cycling. She is also concerned about the comfort factor with regards to her male partner. Also, the urethral sensitivity ... although she has expressed an interest in sounding. Would you advise experimenting with sounding before committing to this piercing?

I've been performing Princess Albertina piercings regularly and I'm perfectly comfortable doing them now!
*Update December 2018*
As of this month, at the urging of a prior client, I performed my first Princess Albertina piercing, which was very successful. Therefore I am now willing to evaluate anatomy on an individual basis for suitability and possible appointments.
I'll be honest--I don't do Princess Albertina piercings. As a woman with a history of bladder infections and a knowledge of the anatomy (and how short the female urethra is, so close to the bladder), they seemed somewhat risky. (Male anatomy is considerably different and a Prince Albert piercing is not at all likely to cause a bladder infection due to the greater distance from the tip of the urethra to the bladder.)
Due to the relatively internal placement of the Princess Albertina, I'd imagine that cycling would not be problematic once initial healing has taken place. My educated guess is that some women would find the piercing enjoyable, and others would not prefer that form of stimulation--just like any other genital piercing. I'm certain, however, that it would be reasonable (and advisable) to experiment with some urethral play with sounds prior to committing to this piercing. She should see if she really does enjoy stimulation to her urethra prior to getting pierced. I would refer you to James Weber of Infinite Body Piercing in Philadelphia for more information, as I know he has performed more of them than anyone else.
