The reason I ask is because I am a virgin and I am scared that I may have damaged my clitoris by masturbating (ie: rubbing on things). The sensation isn't as good as it used to be and it just looks like maybe I rubbed some of it off if that's even possible. Also the skin to the left of my clitoris has folded out, and I want to know if masturbating could be the cause of this.

it could be depending on what your using to M with. Keep it to toys or your fingers or running water

Most of the clitoris is hidden, and external stimulation of the entire clitoris can result in a more profound sexual response. There is considerable variation among women with regard to how much of the clitoris protrudes from the hood and how much is covered by it, ranging from complete, covered invisibility to full, protruding visibility. Additionally, the size of the external clitoral shaft varies greatly; it may be smaller than a pencil eraser, or larger than a grape.
During sexual arousal, the clitoris enlarges as its erectile tissue fills with blood. Shortly before orgasm, this erection often increases further, drawing the clitoris upwards, so that viewed from the outside it actually appears to shrink.
Hope all that helped. Also consider what you are rubbing against. Anything abrasive can do permanent damage to the clit.
