Yes, the goal of clitoroplasty is to create a clitoris that is sensitive to touch. The clitoris is a highly sensitive organ and a primary source of sexual pleasure for many individuals. During clitoroplasty, the surgeon aims to preserve or enhance the nerve endings and blood supply to the clitoral area to maintain or improve sexual sensitivity.

Preserving the sensory nerves and blood supply is a crucial aspect of clitoroplasty to ensure that the created clitoris remains responsive to touch and sexual stimulation. The surgeon will take great care to protect and preserve the nerves in the clitoral area during the surgical procedure.

After the initial healing phase, as the body recovers from surgery, the sensitivity of the created clitoris should gradually improve. Over time, many individuals report experiencing sexual pleasure and sensitivity in their new clitoris comparable to their experience before the surgery.

However, it’s important to remember that each person’s experience with clitoroplasty is unique, and individual factors such as healing, anatomy, and nerve response can influence the level of sensitivity. Some individuals may experience an increase in sensitivity after clitoroplasty, while others may experience more subtle changes.

During the consultation process, it’s essential to discuss your preferences and goals for the surgery with your gender-affirming surgeon. They can provide you with realistic information about the potential outcomes and help you understand what to expect regarding sexual sensitivity after clitoroplasty.

If you have concerns about the sensitivity of the created clitoris or any other aspect of clitoroplasty, don’t hesitate to discuss them openly with your surgeon. They can address your questions and provide guidance to ensure you have a clear understanding of the procedure and its potential effects on sexual function and sensitivity.
