hey i was reading an article on another sex orientated website [nothing like as good as scarleteen!] about orgasms etc, and i read that women who have an especially sensitive clitoris sometimes psychologically disconnect the clitoris from pleasure because it is -so- very sensitive, or something like that, and that then they have to 're-learn' that it is for pleasure. is this true? has anyone else heard anything like this?

Being a card-carrying member of the sensitive clitoris club (ok, I'm kidding bout the club part) I think I understand what you're getting at...
It is important to remember that orgasm and sexuality really start in your brain, so I can see the point of disconnecting some parts of sexual activity if they feel too intense. However, for me personally, I notice that there is a "re-learn" curve for me if I go awhile without having an orgasm. For instance, I had surgery on my knee last year, which made sex very difficult (it became clear to me that you use your knees during almost *every* sexual activity) and orgasm next to impossible. there was definitely a period of time that I had to re-adjust to my body, and what felt good.
I don't know if that makes a whole lot of sense - the feeling is a bit hard to verbalize.
Also, feel free to post the link to the site on which you saw the article!

Lisa - i totally get the re-learn curve thing. i didn't have an orgasm for a very long time, and then gradually i managed to get them back, and now they're fabulous. but i do remember, when i was younger - probably about 10 years ago, so i was 8 - and masturbating, my clitoris was incredibly sensitive and i was able to reach orgasm very very quickly, whereas now i take some time. and previously tight clothes etc would bring me to orgasm, whereas now they don't. definitely the psychological brainy aspects of orgasm in play there...
the website is called www.ivillage.co.uk it's a decent site, with lots of different sections. i read the article in the Relationships:Sex section. but i now can't find it again! typical! i'll keep looking, and if i find it post a direct link.
