Wondering how to best stimulate a woman’s clit?
A woman’s entire vulva is an erogenous zone, and the clitoris is its pleasure center. It is the most sensitive area of this erogenous zone, and when stimulated can bring intense sexual pleasure.
What Is Clitoral Stimulation and Why Is It Important?
A woman’s clit can be stimulated through all kinds of touch. Stimulation may be from her own fingers, her partner’s fingers, her lover’s mouth (oral), sex toys, and a partner’s genitals (the clitoris can also be stimulated by a man’s penis through her vaginal wall.)
The part of the clitoris you can see, that tiny hooded nub of flesh, surrounded by inner vaginal lips, is what you want to stimulate.
It’s important to stimulate a woman’s clit during foreplay because it plays a big part in her arousal which can lead to more pleasure, satisfaction, and better orgasms when done right.

When a woman’s clitoris is stimulated, it will swell and become even more sensitive. The swelling adds pressure to the vaginal wall, which creates lubrication, in anticipation of penetration.
Basically, clit stim makes a woman wet and horny—extremely aroused.
How to Stimulate Her Clit with Your Hand
There are many reasons to start with stimulation from your fingers. For example, you may be choosing to reach into her pants because putting your face between her legs is too intimate for the nature of your relationship.

1. Vibration with Penetration
You can use your thumb to rub her clitoris while you digitally penetrate. Always start very gently, barely skimming the clit, before manually stimulating with varying pressure.
Perhaps the most effective way to stimulate the clitoris, or at least the most intense, is to use a vibrator. Any size will do, but small bullet-shaped vibrators are made specifically for this purpose. You can stimulate with one hand and use your other to touch other parts of her body.

2. Massage Back and Forth
You can simply use your index finger to massage from one side of her clit to the other. Find a speed and rhythm, and most importantly a pressure that is pleasing to your partner. Some women will direct while others will prefer to respond to questions about how it feels.
When the clitoris becomes extremely sensitive, she may ask you to back off or change your stimulation technique. You can also change things up because you are edging her orgasm.

3. Squeeze
No two vaginas are the same. Some women have big flappy lips and a tiny clit while others have flat lips and big barely hooded clit.
Her clit size may affect how much you can squeeze, and her sensitivity will factor in too. It’s all about trial and error and knowing your partner. Clit stimulation on a first hookup doesn’t always happen because it’s very intimate, but that doesn’t that it won’t if giving her an orgasm is your goal.

Clitoral Stimulation during Oral Sex
Many women prefer oral stimulation of their clitoris, as there is the built-in saliva lubrication, and a man’s tongue is often softer than his hands. Of course, she’ll likely be producing her own lube soon enough.

Suction of the clit is a very unique sensation that most women love. It almost feels like a lover is trying to devour you.
Don’t go full force like a vacuum, but rather a light suction with the entirety of your mouth. And don’t forget to pepper her entire vaginal area with kisses in between.

Be a good dog, and lap your lover. A man who loves pussy and all it offers will do so with extreme delight. You don’t have to worry about lapping her dry, either, as all the clit stimulation you’re showering her with will only bring more and more of her own sweet secretions.

This position can mix in a little BDSM if you’re into kink. She can assume the submissive position of lying on her back with her ankles and/or wrists restrained at each corner of the bed.
Here, you won’t even be penetrating, so you can think of yourself as being restrained too. You will instead focus solely on her pleasure through clitoral stimulation. Use your hand, mouth, toys, or a combination of all three to bring her higher and higher.
