A guiche piercing is a body piercing through the perineum. Guiche piercings are much more common in men than in women. Although a guiche normally runs perpendicular to the direction of the penis, lateral placements are possible. A series of guiche piercings in parallel to the direction of the penis is called a guiche ladder, and might commonly be seen as an extension of a frenum ladder.
An anal piercing is placed in the surrounding area of the human anus, usually the perineum.

Guiche weights may be attached to the piercing, causing added sexual stimulation.
