Due Oct 24, 2010 w/ love #1: What does menstruation have to do with clitoral sensitivity?
My husband and I were having sex today, and whenever he touched my clitoris it felt like he was rubbing it as hard as he could. He said he was barely touching it. The first day of my last menstrual period was the 17th of January. Does clitoral sensitivity have anything to do with your period?

I don’t think it’s so much to do with sensitivity with the clitoris as it is that the changes your body goes through during menstruation.
Your hormone levels sky rocket and then get low again and over the next month, continually get higher. Hormones can affect the sensitivity of nerves, hence breast tenderness just before your period.
Answer by Prexus SwyftwyndI’ve found that my experiences with girls is that they are much more sensitive to their sexual organs and responses a few days before, during and a few days after their period. While I’m no scientist or doctor to give you a clinical viewpoint on it, it has been from my experience that I base this on. Many women report that they have increased sexual feelings a few days before their period begins or for a lack of a better word, feel “extra horny.”
I believe this being medically true is that the increased amounts of fluid in the vagina or vaginal regions causes the vagina to be more sensitive. It is possible that with increased secretion levels (perhaps as a result of your impending period-start) that is causing your sensitivity to touch or external factors. Your state of arousal also plays an important role and given that throughout your cycle a woman goes through various ups and downs of hormonal degrees, you might just be more turned on than usual and thus, feel that a light touch is additionally stimulating than usual. Heck, even not having sex for a while might cause that pent up horniness waiting to be released!
Nevertheless, it is not unusual that I hear about my girl-friends being more friskier than usual when they approach their periods (and some during) until a week or so after their period comes to a full stop 🙂
