MWAHAHAAAAA!!! I have found your weakness! *strokes invisible evil goatee*

Yeah, I should have put something a little less extreme for the "definite no" option, but it seems like what I did put is working out for most posters.

Nawh, you're not alone. All my girly parts came in the X-small version. Either that or I had too much sex & my clit just wore off.

Depends on the vibrator and what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

No, that doesn't happen. Mine would be.... gone, if they wore away.

I can't imagine how anyone could be so strongly against it - but that's only because I usually HAVE to. It is an amazing feeling. To me anyhow, lol.

That's the gap between the super-sensitive clit and the clit of steel. Direct contact with the uncovered clitoris is just downright painful for some women.

Sometimes.

Oh gee... This is something that can change with the day. One day I may be hypersensitive, the other average. It also depends on HOW I toy. If I start with a low vibration and work up, I can tolerate the higher vibrations easily. This is essentially because I'm numbing myself, but it prolongs the act. Sometimes I can't even touch a vibe that is on high to my clit. It's way too much. Hood or not. I usually just stick with a light vibration and movement. I have sometimes applied vibes directly to the clit, but that is rare. I usually can't stand vibrations that strong. It all really just depends on the day, toy and HOW I want to get off.

I can only get off if my hood is pulled back. >_< It takes forever(not really, more along the lines of 1-2 hours) to get off from my own fingers and ~20 minutes on average from a good strong egg vibe. ^_^; I'm one of those women that's never gotten an orgasm that wasn't self-induced.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no here. I'll generally stimulate my wife through her hood but if I pull it back part the way through then that sends her over the edge. She definitely has to be worked up to it though.

Clit of steel, hardly. That kind of intense, direct stimulation is what works best for me. I read in a review about someone who used a clit clamp, then applied a vibrator. She said that it resulted in pinpoint stimulation. I'm eager to try it myself.

My clit is tiny and hard to get out from under the hood. Durex Utopia helps, as does using a nipple sucker on it. I'd love to try a clit pump on it, but none of the ones I've seen have good reviews.

However, I have a massive G-spot that's extra sensitive, so I can't complain about my anatomy. I guess all of that type of tissue is more internal than external.

All the time, but I want some cheesecake too! LOL

The cheesecake, sadly, is a lie.

Overused memes aside, I was just really craving cheesecake when I made the poll. I do actually have some in my fridge right now, so as soon as I figure out how to teleport it over to you, I will.

My G-spot fucks with my brain. For a while I thought it was too deep to get at without toys. Once I poked at something deep and sensitive with my Bent Graduate, I was suddenly able to feel my G-spot much lower down - as in right fucking there anytime anything went inside me. Someone suggested that what I found with the Bent was my A-spot. I'm willing to roll with that, but it still confuses me from time to time.

As I've said so many times now:
The female body - HOW DOES IT WORK?!

I like really strong vibrations but it depends on how sensitive I'm feeling day to day

I do the same thing sometimes.

I think my clit just flinched.


I could never do that. I love my hood. I usually press my vibes up against the side of my clit, never directly on top of it. I have tried it that way before (like if I've orgasmed too many times and have gone partially numb) but normally it actually feels kind of painful. My hood makes everything sooooo much more pleasurable.

I tend to not be able to get off unless I use a really strong vibrator. So I usually do use direct contact to help things out a bit.

The side of the clit is my other favorite spot to plant a vibe. Which spot I choose depends a lot of how pinpoint the vibrations are (super precise: side, broader: under the hood).

I pull back my hood every single time. Sometimes I think this may have desensitized me over time, but I've never done it any other way. Though I have thought about not pulling it back to try and re-sensitize myself and to do something different.

I always have to do this! I'm surprised most women don't. Maybe I just have a larger hood?

I don't think hood size is a factor - at least not for everyone. Some women are so sensitive that direct contact with the clit is painful.

It's so interesting how different women are. I think this is one of the things I love about being a lesbian. It's not just about anatomy, which is soooooo different between different women, but also preferences and sensitivity. For me, my hood is very small and most of my clit is exposed anyway, and it's the sides of the tip of mine that are the most sensitive. Sometimes mine is so sensitive that I wish my hood covered it more. I will pull my inner labia in to cover it sometimes if it's extra sensitive. I've had partners who needed to have their hood pulled back though. I'd really like to get my hood pierced but I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to go through with it.

I'm loving the range of difference preferences!

I'm all for intensity and crazy spazzy bucking, so I pull the hood back and go for direct stimulation. The more pinpoint the better.

I have my wife pull hers back, its super sexy to watch and she loves the feel.

I don't have a large hood and I'm pretty sensitive. So I've never pulled it back but this sounds like something I need to try!
