Are you cut or uncut?
On the plus side, genital piercings heal quickly because they get a lot of blood flow. However, the other rule of piercing is that the more parallel the piercing is to the surface of the skin, the more likely it will be to grow out. For example, earlobes, nipples- the needle goes through perpendicular at both sides (usually), so they generally heal well. Surface piercings, like the nape of the neck, sternum, etc., almost always grow out. If you're cut and considering a typical "frenum" piercing, meaning a straight bar across the underside of the penis below the glans, you're generally doing a piercing on a curved surface. As such, when you're hard, the bar will remain straight while your skin tries to stretch away from it, and you'll most likely end up "losing" some of the depth of the piercing over time.
Also, because this skin is relatively thin and stretchy, it's not the best choice for a leash. A "Prince Albert" works better, because it's anchored in the stronger flesh of the urethra. If you do get it done, get it done with the thickest (smallest numerical gauge) your piercer will use, for greater strength. The pain is pretty minimal.
Good luck!
