Yeah, that. Yikes. Mine definitely retracts and it's very sensitive when exposed.

Clitoral hood

Very occasionally the hood of the clitoris gets stuck or doesn't free up with either washing, or masturbation. Very similar to what can happen to a male but it is rare. What I suggest is that a woman uses olive oil of some such benign oil, and gently work it in to just under the hood, take it very easy and take your time. Work it slowly free over several days. Stop if there is pain.

These days in Britain doctors are less and less likely to turn to surgery to treat a phimosis. Particularly if the person is older. The potential hazards are too great. Most phimosis will respond well to this treatment. Just take it easy. If the hood does not retract easily in intercourse there can be pain or discomfort experienced until the hood is totally free.

Many women unfortunately have a lot of yucky feelings about their clitoris. If feelings arise, just lie down somewhere quiet and let the feelings roll in your mind. Just accept them and they will diminish unless there is significant trauma there. If that is the case see your Doctor and if you can afford it get a referral to a sex therapist. Good luck!

Me, too...but I can honestly say that until this thread, I'd never really thought of it as retraction.

Just FYI the DOC Prepuce video shows a very closeup photo of a retracted clitoral hood, glans, etc.

?

Same here, I can't stand direct stimulation on it.
