Pain and discomfort when masturbating?
For the past week and a half I have been experiencing a bit of pain and discomfort when I masturbate. I only do so clitorally so I don't think it is an issue with my actual vagina and it's only when I am aroused. I am 21 years old and am a virgin and that isn't likely to change in the near or distant future. I would really like to not go to the gyno because my entrance is so tight that anything beyond the size of a finger would be excruciating. So should I be worried or is there a certain amount of time that I should allow it to go away before going to the doctor?

ETA: I should be starting my period soon so could this just be a symptom?

When that happens to me, it means there's a little bit of white stuff (I assume smegma) that has built up under my clitoral hood...It took me until last week to find a non-painful way to remove it, using some oil (almond, olive, etc) to cut down on friction, VERY gently rub it off...just get a mirror and gently push back your clitoral hood and see if that's the case?

It may not be as painful for you to remove, btw, I could just be more sensitive, but you may want to be careful at first just in case the same goes for you?

Thank you for this sound advice. I will grab my mirror and check it out!

Oh god, kind of off topic and not at all helpful but once after I shaved, I felt this sharp pain on my clit. Like, it really hurt and would not stop so I investigated and found a tiny piece of hair under the hood! Oh my god, it was so scary because hair can actually be quite sharp and if the stars align it can actually get stuck in your skin like a splinter. Anyway, I always make sure I rinse really well and that nothing is hiding. My god, it hurt.

As for OP, if this is something that really is not normal for you, perhaps you should get it looked at. Where is the pain located? On your actual clit? Could you have bruised it masturbating? I know I can certainly bruise my area there from masturbation. Even a little bruise that you can't see (or maybe just soreness) can be painful when you continue to put pressure/rub on it.

what kind of pain/discomfort are you having? i notice that at some points in my cycle i am more sensitive in certain places, but this is usually related to penetration. does it happen when you orgasm or just generally?

It's difficult for me to explain. It's not sharp like "OMG OW HISS!" More like "This kind of hurts. Maybe I should stop." But of course I don't and it actually gives me an even stronger orgasm! Of course, pain when I rub one off is not normal whether or not I'm near by period so I probably should do something about it... xD

Ah, I've found this too. Once I had a tiny pimple that kept getting rubbed by my finger and I was thinking how it hurt yet made it better at the same time!

Sounds like excessive sensitivity? If the pain is only when you masturbate and doesn't go on after you have an orgasm, you might just try varying techniques and see if that changes anything. And if it goes away after a few days, you could absolutely be seeing some sort of hormonal effect. Lots of us are more sensitive before and during our periods - I'm one of them. Awesome orgasms but rather more work to make sure I don't hit the wrong thing and go straight into hypersensitive owowowowowow.

Sounds a lot like when I have an external yeast infection.
