Is there anyway I can regain clitoral sensitivity? I am a 21 year old female. I started masturbating and became sexually active at the age of 17. For years, I was able to reach orgasm by myself with absolutely no problem, and my clitoris was very sensitive. I didn t always have luck with partners though, but I think that had more to do with my lack of experience, my nervousness , and their abilities. A little over a year ago, I got a clitoral hood piercing. My sensitivity was not at all affected for months. It didn t increase or decrease. I was on antidepressants for a few months, and had orgasm difficulties then, but when I came off the antidepressants I was fine. Then, about eight months ago (six months after I got the piercing and two months after I got off the antidepressants) my clitoral sensitivity dropped. I still crave sex, and make lubrication , but when I or a partner touch my clitoris, it doesn t feel good. I took out the piercing thinking that might ve affected it, but that hasn t helped. I m very distraught over this loss of sensitivity, and was wondering if there s anything I can do to get it back. I m sorry this is so long, but I wanted to provide as many details as possible in hopes that they would help. Thank you.
