Some women get off from just rubbing themselves with fingers. Others, need a vibrator. Some need something as powerful as a Hitachi Wand. A few can’t come regardless.
Does this have to do something with the amount of nerve endings? Hormone levels? Size and/or position of the clitoris?
I suspect it’s a combination of all of the above, plus psychological triggers.
Are you sure you want to use “impacts” in this context?
This is probably TMI (though I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be TMI in this conversation) but I’ve noticed a signifigant difference depending on what medication I’m taking. In my case it’s psychological medication, though the meds I’m taking are also used for epilipsy and migranes, etc.
It’s multifactorial. Subjective emotions play at least as big a role as objective stimulation, pharmacology can play a large and complex part, and at times barometric pressure changes may well make a difference.
Men are somewhat less complex in this area, but not so simple as the above image would indicate.
Hell, I’ve gotten off just from someone saying " I love you"
OP: Giving a woman a pair of diamonds before stimulating her clitoris might make it more sensitive to your touch. 
The weird thing is I need a lot of stimulation (esp since using a vibrator) but I hate being directly stimulated (so I usually touch myself through underwear). I guess it’s pretty…specific.
My wife’s first orgasm was induced by seeing this painting when she was 14.
I agree. I do not like the use of “impacts” as a verb where “affects” would do much better but, then again, it seems many people just cannot avoid mistaking “affects” and “effects” which is even worse. I have pretty much given up correcting these mistakes which I see several times a day just on this board.

Thank you, sailor! I hate “impact” when “affect” would do, and share your theory about why “impact” has taken over.

Hey, if I said I almost had an orgasm upon reading sailor’s words, then it wouldn’t really be a hijack, would it?
I’ve discovered that age has…well, shit, now I’m not sure if age has had an impact or an effect.
It used to be that my partner had to work at it. These days all he (virtually) has to do is touch me and ziiiiiiiiiing.
