Hi everyone. I just got a vertical clitoral hood piercing earlier today (14g curved barbell). I'd been wanting one for awhile, because I've heard so many wonderful things about how they increase sensation and help with arousal and desire. I was just wondering about a couple things, if anyone has any experience with them.

I know everyone's different, but almost all of the stuff I've read online from people who have them said that after they got it done, even immediately after, they could feel it, and it felt good. Not orgasmic or anything, but pleasant. I, however, don't feel mine at all half the time. And when I do feel it, I don't really feel any pleasure or anything. I just vaguely feel a thing there.

Also, I know I can't masturbate until it's healed, but I'm thinking I'm going to relearn how to masturbate. Before, to even think about having an orgasm I had to constantly stimulate the glans. Now there's stuff covering it up. I looked in a mirror, and I don't see my clit anywhere. :p

So how have some of you women dealt with your piercings? More importantly, how do you masturbate with them? :p
