Hood Life

A preparation technique to expose the clitoral glans for more direct and intense stimulation.

How to do it

If you find that indirect stimulation is too muted, you can increase sensitivity by exposing the clitoral glans directly. Place two fingers on the skin just above and to the sides of the clitoris. Gently pull the skin upward and backward toward your pelvic bone; this action retracts the clitoral hood. While holding the hood back with one hand, use your other hand (or a toy) to apply direct friction or vibration to the now-exposed glans.

Why it works

The clitoral hood serves as a natural protection for the glans. By manually retracting it, you remove the physical buffer, allowing for 100% direct contact with the highest concentration of nerve endings. This significantly increases the intensity of the friction and can help those who typically struggle to reach climax through the skin of the hood. It provides a sharper, more localized sensation that can accelerate arousal.
