I have earrings other than hoops - studs, smiley faces, a dolphin - that I wear in male mode. Most have been made for me by my wife, who makes her own jewellry

I myself have my ears pierced twice in each ear. I love hoops as well. Currently my biggest ones that I wear publicly are 1 inch and I have no problems in doing so. In private I wear bigger sizes and I love it. I usually wear 2 inches or larger. I am not brave enough for the larger sizes in public just yet. Maybe someday.

They do! I've seen 'em out there, and for those who don't want to punch holes in their ears, I think it's a great way to get the look.

Same here, I might try Thighbootguy's idea of modifying a pair to see if they could clip on to get some idea of look and feel. Where I work, I don't think having to wear studs for 6 weeks to keep the holes open would go over very well. While there's no official dress code spelled out, I think that would certainly get noticed in a big way. That and I don't think it would be worthwhile to get pierced just to try them once and let them close up.

For those of you who don't want holes in ears, you can get ones that screw rather than clip on (think of a vice) (No - one used for woodwork!!). These can be adjusted more that ordinary clips, othercoming the pain clips can cause.

By the way, if its pain thats stopping you getting your ears pierced, clip-ons are much more painful in the long run!!

Hoop earrings on men? Sure, why not. I had my ears pierced both sides. I started out with one pierced on left ear, but later on had the right ear pierced. Now I have 6 pierced holes in each ear, from the lobe up the midway. This way I can wear all 6 pairs at once or one pair in either holes. A lot of days I don't wear them. The largest hoop was 1 1/2 inch.
