OL, perhaps I am oversimplifying, but I do think that people doubt the G-spot because it is a supposedly medically identifiable area and yet only some women feel heightened sensation in that area, and even fewer women experience ejaculation, which is associated with the G-spot. But as those women who do feel that certain sexual “yowza” in the G-zone can testify, it certainly exists for some, which means that it shouldn’t be ignored or doubted by all.

Now, a little bit of background info. Technically speaking, the G-spot is a sensitive region in a woman located between the pubic bone and the cervix, just beyond the front wall of the vagina. The spongy tissue of the G-spot actually surrounds the urethra, which might be one of the reasons that many dismissed the idea of female ejaculation as simply urine expelled in the midst of pleasure. When stimulated, the spot swells and supposedly creates a sort of crest or bump that can be felt in the front of the vaginal wall. Sex educator/counselor Beverly Whipple and psychologist/sexologist/minister John D. Perry named the area in honor of Dr. Ernst Grafenberg, who was the first physician to acknowledge the significance that this particular spot played for sexual pleasure in some women. Grafenberg was also one of the first physicians to study and publish about female ejaculation. However, there are still many questions held by doctors and eager sex adventurists alike about this area and whether it exists in all women, and, if so, why only some feel stimulation.

So, TTSS, if you are curious about finding out about whether you are spot-sensitive, there are certain things you can try. I would recommend either trying to locate your G-spot with your fingers or coercing a willing partner to do it for you. The sweet G should be located about two finger joints deep on the top side (outwardly signified as being towards the clitoris, not the anus) of the vagina. Try rubbing, stroking, gentle poking that area. See if you (or your kind friend) can feel any sort of raise in the vaginal region, which is a good clue that you are in the right spot. You can also try using a vibrator or having sex in positions that would point the penis in the right direction (and I don’t just mean “up”).

But, hey, if you don’t feel anything, don’t sweat it. It doesn’t mean that you are missing out on anything, it just means that you should focus on stimulating the more sensitive areas of your body, such as the clitoris or the taint, for more pleasure. Whether all scientists (or men) want to admit it or not, people are different, and we all should respect and explore that fact.
