Clitoral Pain

Unread post by stellagraceied »

Hi I’m 16 years old and have been having some discomfort in my clit after masturbating. I am not or never have been with a partner. I am not sure what the issue is but after masturbating sometimes not always I feel like a pinching or slightly uncomfortable sensation on my clit. It always ends up going away but was just wondering if there was something to alleviate my discomfort or if it was common. In December it was really making me nervous and I went to my gynecologist and she said everything was fine. I looked today and it seems like one side of my clit is swollen I think? But I’m not really sure.

Hi stellagraceied,

I'm glad you asked your gynecologist about this issue, if only so she could confirm for you that this wasn't a sign of a deeper issue. From what you're describing, it's likely your clitoris is getting a little sore from the process of masturbating. That can happen if you masturbate pretty intensely, or focus a lot of pressure or stimulation on your clitoris. Does that make sense?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

You're welcome! And yep, if you tend to focus on your clitoris, that can lead to it being a little sore right after you finish masturbating.
