Can You Permanently Desensitize Your Clitoris?

Dr. Betty-

I know you're probably going to say that I'm just being paranoid, but here goes:

About a week ago, my boyfriend was rubbing my clit, and he did it quite a bit too hard. It took me a few days to recover. My clit was almost completely numb and wouldn't become erect in the slightest. It has feeling again in it now and is becoming erect when I'm aroused, but the pleasure I used to get from rubbing it is almost entirely gone.

When I'm Aroused My Clitoris Swells to the Size of My Thumb

Hi Betty.

I am a bit worried about my clitoris. Recently when aroused my clitoris swells to be huge. Similar in size to a my thumb, to the point I can feel it very obviously when I walk and very visible from the outer lips. I have never noticed this before and has only been happening the last 2-3 months. Is this something I should get checked out or is it normal? If I should get it checked out who should I go to for this type of problem?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Dear S,

I Have No Sensation in My Vagina

Hey Dr. Betty!

I have an uncooperative vagina. My clitoris and I get along really really well but my vagina and I? Not so much. For much of my teens I had vaginismus that prevented me from wanting any sort of penetration during masturbation sessions. There was no partner-sex. Now that I'm in my early twenties I have wanted to expand my routine a little and include penetration. So far most of my issues with vaginismus have disappeared, but I now have next to no sensation in my vagina.
