From my male point of view, I don't understand what's so bad about being very sensitive. Wouldn't that make things even better? Or are you making a euphemism, and are really saying that it hurts?
Nope, we're not being euphemistic. Sensitive is good. Overly sensitive is bad... Hence the use of the word "overly". In my case, if I grind and hump against stuff it's amazingly good. If I'm using my hands, I can grind the hell out of my clit through the hood and protective skin. If I (or someone else) should pull back the hood and touch it directly...
way too much. And too much is
not good. Touching it directly, lightly isn't painful, but it's not pleasant either. It's like annoying electric shocks or something. And touching it more... vigorously does get... painful. kind of. "Painful" may not be
exactly the right word, but it's awfully close.
"Sensitivity" isn't a binary state, it's a scale that logically reaches extremes at both ends. This of it this way... When I was young, I was fascinated with the nature of pain. It occurred to me that anything pleasant, with the volume turned up high enough, would hurt or kill, while anything painful, with the volume turned down enough, would feel pleasant. Think of a tickle or a caress... Then think of the same motion amped up enough to bruise, then enough to break skin, crush bones, or sever limbs.
Another illustration of too sensitive being bad: Music is good. Loud music is sometimes better. But
too loud and you can rupture eardrums, jangle nerves, and even - theoretically - kill ya.
