trouble with stimulation

[emmy]

Just had a question about clitoral stimulation. Whether on my own or with a partner, it’s what I works best for me. However, once it gets very stimulated it gets too sensitive and hurts to continue, leaving me unable to finish. I’ve tried suggestions such as stimulating around the clitoris rather than directly which helped, but still too sensitive to finish. Just wondering if this normal and if there’s anything to do to overcome/cope with it or other suggestions that might help. Thanks.

What you're experiencing isn't unusual; some folks do find that they get oversensitive after some clitoral stimulation. Less direct contact is often something we'll recommend here; it sounds like that isn't really working but it could be worth continuing to experiment with. I don't know if you're already using a lubricant, but sometimes having some additional lube in play can help, as it cuts down on friction.
