What is The Prince Albert Effect?
1.
when you want to do something a little bit more every day until eventually it all becomes too much; you are overcome by your once-minuscule desires and go out and do something you would've thought was crazy months ago
The Prince Albert Effect is so named because it is a key reason many men get Prince Albert piercings (a bolt through your shlong) - it seems kinda cool one day, then after a few weeks, months, (hours) of it weighing on your mind, you finally decide "Hey, sweet! I'm going to get me one of those!" and then shock EVERYONE.
A while back, Brad was thinking about getting a Prince Albert. The idea really grew on him over the course of a few months, and last weekend, Brad got the piercing, thus experiencing the Prince Albert Effect (literally).
