For some women, it may represent a way of guarding against closeness or intimacy. The intensity and sharp qual-ity of the clitoral climax conveys a sense of vitality and energy, a feeling of being in control. On a deeper level, the orgasm can also become a means of conquest, or a form of dominating or controlling. It is also a way of being in charge. The clitoris is the most readily available organ for sen-sual excitation during childhood and pubescence.
Most girls appear to learn about their sexual functioning from their clitoris.
This early learning readily estab-lishes habitual modes of satisfaction. Thus, it can eas-ily become the primary or exclusive center of sexual satisfaction. Each woman has her individual way to achieve her own version of the best possible clitoral climax. She can teach her partner how to induce such a climax through a combination of touch, demonstration and verbal instructions. Neverthe-less, many women find them extremely satisfying as their sole mode of climaxing.
