The reason I ask is that I heard something like that and when I touched my "head" it was quite sensitive (it was almost painful).

reader, anonymous, writes (21 August 2006): Why would it be painful to touch? That makes it sound like you have an infection...virus?
If it is due to having sexual intercourse and now has become painful to touch...see the good ole doctor.
It is full of never endings, your glans penis so it should be "sensitive".
A bit of a head scratcher; this question.

My understanding is that it's the same original part of the embryo/foetus which develops differently into male or female so I guess that's a yes.

 Giggle, the moderator hasn't read your question before giving it a title!
I am not sure about this at cell structure level but the clitoris does engorge with blood during arousal but to a lesser degree than a penis. I think because the clitoris is so much smaller, it has more sensitivity in a confined area but since no one to my knowledge has both that we know are fully functional we are unable to know.
