Queen Victoria didn't wear underwear because wearing them would have put fabric between her thighs. Anything which separated a lady's thighs was lewd and immoral, and therefore frowned upon. Many ladies of quality of the era didn't wear knickers for the same reason.
I'm not sure if the 'tied-on' design as described elsewhere developed as a result of this.

Probably giving coals to Newcastle, but. .

The penile piercing was originally intended to be a piece of string tied through the ring and hoisted at the back, designed to hold a gentleman's parts down and not to give a lewd bulge in the front of his trousers; an antithesis of sexuality.

Not like today, with your amphalangs, and your cock rings, and your banging nails through your penis into a piece of 2x4.

*sigh*
