Actually, I read the book "She comes First" by Ian Kerner. He says there are 18 parts of the clitoris. I just did a quick google search and found this:

Q. What is the extent of the clitoris? How does the female clitoris compare to a man's penis?
A. The clitoris has 18 parts some of which you can see-like the glans or tip, inner lips (called labia minora in medicalese) and the hood, which is equivalent to the foreskin in men. Then there are parts that you can feel, such as the shaft a cord about an inch long that is attached to the glans, and the urethral sponge which you can feel through the roof of the vagina. Then there are muscles, blood vessels, and nerves which you cannot feel, but which are essential in causing orgasm.

So, really, what people call the "clitoris" is only the tip of the iceberg. Ian Kerner says the head pops out when aroused, but then retracts during orgasm. Also, it is sensitive until aroused, then can be rubbed hard, then is very sensitive after orgasm for a few minutes.

So, timing is very important. The giver has to be very aware of the state of arousal for best results.
