Hi Betty.

When I masturbate my clit gets very ticklish to the point where I just can't stand it anymore and it kills the pleasure that I am having. What can I do to get rid of that tickling feeling?

Thanks

Dear C,

That ticklish feeling is the beginning of sexual arousal. Be sure to use plenty of massage oil made from seeds or nuts. Spend some time doing over-all vulva massage before you focus on your clitoris. Breathe into the tickling sensation and know it is positive. Don't try to avoid it but embrace the sensation. Tell your body this is the beginning of your orgasm or perhaps it is becasue you've had a quick orgasm. We all end up with overly sensitive clits right after we come. Be sure to practice masturbation on a regular basis without judgment.
