Overstimulation
Is it normal for a vibrator to cause overstimulation like i feel it building up in like a few seconds and then it becomes uncomfortable but any lighter touch feels like nothing do you have any suggestions thanks

Re: Overstimulation
Thanks for clarifying that, icecreamqueen3!
To answer your question, yes, some people can find direct contact with a vibrator on their clitoris overstimulating. If it feels like a bit too much, you can always try using your vibrator while wearing underwear or pants to put a layer between the vibrator and your genitals. Another thing to try is to use the vibrator on your vulva (around your clitoris) instead of directly on your clitoris, and see how that feels.
Take your time and do a little exploration!
