Let’s Talk G-Spot

by funlove on June 23, 2010

The G-spot exists. Period.

Last week I wrote about how I Have A G-spot, and the empirical evidence; millions of women (myself included) have found THEIR G-spot. How can you argue with that?

Now let’s talk more about the medical side of things. What really *is* the G-spot?

If we google “G-spot”, we come up with this:

The Gräfenberg Spot, or G-Spot, is a term used to describe the bean-shaped area of the vagina that many women report to contain an erogenous zone which when stimulated can lead to high levels of sexual arousal, powerful orgasms and female ejaculation. It is typically located one to three inches up the front (anterior) vaginal wall between the vagina opening and the urethra and is a sensitive area that is part of the female prostate. – Wikipedia

That doesn’t give us much of a history lesson, does it?

So back in the late 70s, early 80s, a team of scientists, including Beverley Whipple realized that lots and lots of women had a super sensitive area inside the vagina, a few inches in, and that many who had strong PC muscles (an indication that this issue wasn’t incontinence) were reporting urinating during orgasm. The hands on studies began, and in 1981, the term the Grafenberg spot was coined, after a doctor who had discussed such an area much earlier.

Studies have been done in every way imaginable; hands on, surveys, observation and more. Why is it so hard to prove the existence of such an area outside of purely anecdotal evidence?

Because this area of spongy tissue only fills when the person is aroused. Otherwise, you can’t really feel it, and it makes it hard to study. Why? Because being in a room full of medical professionals and other scientists who are trying to put measuring instruments into your vagina is incredibly difficult.

So some studies point towards yes, some assuredly say yes (and have even been able to measure the change in vaginal tissue). Many studies have looked at female ejaculatory fluid (ejaculation in women is often as a result of G-spot stimulation) and every single one has found it NOT to be urine. Ergo; stimulation of SOME area, whether proven to be the G-spot or not, cause ejaculation of a substance that is NOT urine.
