What Is The G-Spot?
It's History, Finding It, Stimulating It, Female Ejaculation, & More

Lisa S. Lawless, Ph.D., C.E.O.
Holistic Wisdom Founder

The term "G-Spot" was referred to in the 1950's through an article in the International Journal of Sexology in which Dr. Ernest Gräfenberg wrote about sexual sensitivity along the anterior vaginal wall. It later became more widely know through a book, The G-Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality.

The Chinese concept of the G-spot may have been the first documentation, referring to
it as the Palace of Yin. Though the term is often used simply as meaning "womb,"
it specifically refers to the location in the body where there is an orgasmic secretion called
moon flower medicine
. Ancient's insight into female ejaculation and the female prostatic glands or G-spot as it is now referred to, were certainly overlooked for many years in Western medicine's neglect of women's sexuality.

No further serious research was done until Perry and Whipple's 1978 documentation and extensive study which confirmed the article of Dr. Grafenberg. While many people have read or heard about Gräfenberg, as we refer to the area he described as the Gräfenberg spot or G-spot, he actually did not refer to it so much as a spot but more of an area.

In fact Gräfenberg tried to point out that sexual arousal in a woman can be achieved through many places on her body, not just the clitoris and what we now refer to as the G-spot. His observation was merely to note that pleasure could be derived from the area in a woman. This makes sense as it is the equivalent to the male prostate which we know induces pleasure and secretes a similar fluid as the g-spot.

 

Why Do Some Say That Only Some Women Have A G-spot?

While ALL women have a G-spot, it was often overlooked by physicians because it's on the anterior (front) wall of the vagina, which is an area that's often not contacted with physical stimulation. A woman must be sexually aroused for it to become engorged (and made puffy) and most often women are not sexually aroused when visiting their doctors nor do their doctors stimulate it. But when gynecologists do palpate it they have found that all women indeed have one!

 

What Is The G-spot?

The G-spot is the area on the upper wall of the vagina, through which the urethral or "Skene's" glands (shown magnified below) can be felt. It is usually located about 2-3 inches inside and most often provides a deep, rich sexual pleasure in women.

While some women enjoy g-spot stimulation from direct pressure up into it, others enjoy wide penetration that stretches the vaginal walls while providing a deep rubbing sensation against the g-spot.

It is important to note that some women are not as sensitive to sensation in their g-spot area as others and may prefer more clitoral stimulation as a means to achieve sexual stimulation.

 

The female urethra (pee tube) runs along the front/top side of the vagina, between it and the pubic bone. With stimulation such as finger, sex toy, penis stroking or even just sexual stimulation, the area will begin to swell and the sensations may become increasingly pleasurable. Continuing may produce an intense orgasm. Like the prostate, the g-spot can produce ejaculate which may be released on orgasm and may "squirt" or gush out.

 

Female Ejaculation-

Stimulation to the g-spot to achieve female ejaculation is usually necessary to achieve it, however, at the moment of ejaculation other stimulation to the clitoris, breasts, etc. may be what brings a woman to orgasm and the ability to push it out.

Some women are able to expel female ejaculate with no stimulation to their g-spot at all, but are able to fill the g-spot glands through sexual stimulation to other sexual hot spots causing sexual arousal and ultimately allowing the it to fill with the prostate-like fluid and finally releasing it.

Also, some women can expel female ejaculate without having an orgasm, through bearing down and pushing it out once her Skenes glands (g-spot) are filled. However, most women require an orgasm to release it.

The medical community still neglects women's sexuality by not further examining female ejaculation. This is most likely due to the strong association people have to this beautiful female sexual function as pornographic or as a bogus myth that it is urine (pee). One would think we are still living in the dark ages when many scientists, researchers and medical professionals resist being linked to women's sexual functioning for fear of being thought of as supporting what the porn industry has been marketing for years as "squirting, gushing, and spraying ejaculate."

 

Techniques For Locating The G-Spot

Lie back with your knees pressed up to your chest. In this position, your vaginal depth will shorten and even short fingers should be able to reach the G-spot. A partner, may do the same thing by sliding their finger inside you and making a "come here" motion. You can also lie on your side with one leg drawn up to your chest as your partner enters you from the rear, or on your hands and knees (doggy style position) and have your partner use their finger pressing forward toward your navel to stimulate it. Of course there are other positions, these are just a few of many variations. A g-spot stimulator is great to use as are dildos in addition to fingers and/or a penis.

The g-spot is about the size of a quarter, although size varies in women just as it does in men. It can be anywhere along the 2-3 inch long area between the pubic bone and the cervix. Explore slowly, and if you are her partner, allow for feedback from her to help guide you.

 

G-Spot Stimulation Through Use of Fingers-

The best way to find it is to first use fingers. The G-spot responds to pressure rather than to touch. Gentle stroking is not likely to find it. It's like massaging a marble that is inside a pillow; one has to compress the flesh to find it. When you reach in from the front with the woman on her back, the heel of your hand is over her clitoris while your fingers hook around her pubic bone. Pull upwards, as if you're trying to lift her off the bed with a back and forth rhythm of "come here."

As your fingers may become tired after a while of doing this, we recommend using a
g-spot stimulator
or dildo in addition to the possibility of penile penetration as a way of providing continued stimulation to her and relief for your fingers.

 

G-Spot Stimulation Through Intercourse-

In intercourse, a woman may or may not be able to achieve orgasm via her g-spot alone.
It depends on level of arousal, positioning, penis shape & size, vaginal shape & size and how sensitive she is to g-spot stimulation. Techniques to assist with this are found in our book and video The Art of Female Ejaculation as well as other G-spot & Female Ejaculation focused books and videos available through our web site.

How To Give A Woman An Orgasm
The Key That Women Can Give Their Partner To Unlock Ecstasy

Partners can't always "give" women orgasms as women are ultimately responsible for their orgasms and what will allow that to occur. What I mean by this is that a woman must have taken time to learn what pleasures her body and know what will bring her to orgasm so that she may in turn help her lover know how to please her.

What A Woman Can Do-

Communicate. You really need to express what will bring you to orgasm to help your partner best pleasure you or don't be surprised if you are disappointed. All women are different in our sexual technique preferences and we can often vary what we want in various moments because our sexuality is so highly connected to our psyche. Thus, it is important to communicate what we want through words, moans and even taking your partners hands or body and showing them.

So what if you are in the dark about what it is that you need to orgasm? Masturbation is the key and is something I highly recommend women try alone, with sex toys and no disturbances as well as ample time to explore. Bath time is the perfect time for this and will afford a relaxed environment in which a woman may learn what her body truly responds to without worrying about whether her partner is enjoying themselves, without performance anxiety and without the fear of making a mess or needing to appear attractive for her lover. It is the best way to know what lights her fire and in turn allows them to be able to provide direction to her partner as to what will help her achieve an orgasm.

What A Partner Can Do-

Become a skilled and sensitive lover and create an environment in which the woman feels safe to experience her sensuality and sexuality without a great deal of expectations.
Trying to create an orgasm focused experience typically causes additional stress, which is counterproductive. In regard to techniques, they are infinite. You can find many of them on our Sexual Articles section in addition to our
Better Sex Videos & Better Sex Books sections of our site.

Diabetes & Erectile Dysfunction
What You Can Do To Enhance Erection

Lisa S. Lawless, Ph.D., C.E.O.
Holistic Wisdom Founder

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is very common in men with diabetes. The reasons are complex but include changes in both blood vessels and nerves of the penis. The first step in handling this problem is support from a partner or spouse. With such support, all things are possible.

Viagra
There are many treatment options for ED in men with diabetes. Viagra is one option, although it may be less effective in men with diabetes. This does not mean it will not work, it just means that you have less of a chance of it working. It is still an option that may well worth exploring.

Injection or Insertion Therapy
Injection therapy uses a drug that is given with a syringe and needle directly into the erect portion of the penis. It thus places the medication directly where it is needed and is one of the most effective methods to treat ED. For men who do not desire injections, the same medication is available as a pellet and is inserted into the urinary opening at the head of the penis. You can obtain this by getting a prescription from your physician.

Vacuum Erection Device (Penis Pump)
This device uses a clear plastic cylinder that is placed around the penis and uses a pump mechanism to create a vacuum around the penis. The vacuum causes the penis to become erect, and when it is suitably erect, a band or "cock ring" is placed around the base of the penis. The pump is then removed and intercourse performed. When done, the band is removed and the penis returns to its non-erect form.

Penile Prosthesis (Implant)
A penile implant is a device that is placed into a man’s body and is designed to help him get an erection. Following the routine outpatient procedure, a four to eight week recovery period is necessary before the implant is used. The hospital stay is usually overnight or for two days. This technique has been developed extensively over the past decades and is now very standardized. There are a number of patient education documents available. The two largest providers of penile prostheses are Mentor Corp and American Medical Systems.

When implanted, the penile implants are not visibly noticeable. The penis appears relaxed and normal in the flaccid state, and it is not obvious by looking at a man that he has an implant. You should be able to have an orgasm with a penile implant if you were able to have one before your surgery, unless you have another medical problem that affects it.

 

Get Help From A Physician

No matter what treatment you ultimately choose, you will need to develop a relationship with a doctor who has experience in offering all forms of diabetes treatment. Urologists have a special expertise in this area and can discuss all of these options.

General Comments~

 

Greetings Lisa,

I am addressing this to you since you are the author of most of the information that I have referenced. A little background about what led me to your website.

I am a 64 years young male that has always had a healthy, active sex life. For me making sure my partner is as satisfied as I know how has been of paramount importance in my own satisfaction. As you may surmise by my age I've had to overcome much false or repressed information about what activity is considered normal and healthy over the years.

Suffice it to say that I have had reservations about using sexual aids or toys as part of our sexual activity until somewhat recently. After several unsuccessful long term relationships and/or marriages and many shorter ones, eight years ago I met and married the love of my life(she is also 64). From the very beginning I knew I had a very "special" lady in my life. Believe it or not, she was the first woman that I was ever aware of that ejaculated to a noticeable degree. I have been so stimulated and turned-on by this, but I still have considered it a phenomenon.

A few weeks ago I decided to pursue information to educate myself about this subject (the Internet is truly our friend). Your Holistic Wisdom website was one of several sites that I visited and I obtained helpful information from several of them, but Holistic Wisdom was, for me, the most helpful.

I am impressed by the professional, well written information, and the general high class format. Now, the first thing I learned was that I had a very erroneous concept of what and where the "G" spot actually is. After educating myself, I discussed this with my wife and she was as excited as I am about putting to task our newfound education (she also was not informed properly as to the G spot).

All I can say is WOW!!! Our experience has been taken to a whole new level that we could have never imagined. She always had very powerful climaxes but nothing in comparison to now. I am glad that I took the information about protecting the bed to heart because we experienced the most powerful climax, accompanied by a very profuse ejaculation of fluid. We are both very comfortable with this, and excited about our new (to us) discoveries. So, thank you for being part of educating us to a very rewarding sex-life. And keep the newsletters coming.

Thank you

 

 

To whom it may concern,

I am 22 years old and I visited your site, I found it quite interesting. I would like to ask you a personal question about female ejaculation. I tried it with my boyfriend for the first time and I think I finally succeeded in doing it and I'm glad about it. The clear liquid could not stop coming out. On the sheet it was a clear liquid and there was quite a big round wet area on the sheet. What I would like to know is whether this fluid, since it comes out from the urethra, if it smells like urine the same, because in the morning when I took off the sheets to wash them, the sheet was still wet but clear transparent liquid not yellowish like urine, though it was smelling like urine, and a bit stinking in the morning, so that's why I had this doubt whether I imagined it was the fluid and maybe it was urine. What maybe covers my belief is that my boyfriend told me I was spraying the liquid out and it was a clear thin liquid. So what do u think it might be ? I'm curios to know.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Lisa's Reply-

Hi Elizabeth,

One of the things that can often confuse women about female ejaculation is that they can also urinate during sex and so the question is posed is it urine or is it female ejaculation that is coming out?

The answer is typically that if it is urine it will most likely have a slight yellowish tint to it and will smell like urine. If it is ejaculate then it will look as clear as water and will smell slightly sweet, or like nothing at all.

The thing to note is that because it is possible (although challenging) for women to urinate while sexually aroused, it can be pushed out at the same time the ejaculate is, thus mixing in with it. You can also just urinate during sex without ejaculating and vice versa. They are both coming out of the urethra (pee tube) however the ejaculate is coming out of the Skenes glands and the urine is coming from the bladder.

That is why I highly recommend urinating before sexual play to eliminate the chances of urinating during sex. I also go into more detail about this in my book and video The Art of Female Ejaculation in regard to techniques and sensation.

I hope this reply assists you, and finds you well.

Best, Lisa

 

 

Hi Lisa -

I love your newsletter, and I've received the Art of Female Ejaculation video in the mail - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I do have a question about accommodating penis size. I've met this wonderful man, and we've been talking for a few months now, we've really gotten to know one another in that time (almost a year) , and we're in the talks of getting together (we haven't officially met yet - we met online, and he lives overseas), We've made love many times web cam and on the phone - that alone is just mind blowing.

My main concern is accommodating him - You see, my sweetie is quite shall we say- ample - in length as well as girth, and I haven't had a great deal of experience in this area, and am afraid that I won't be able to take him all in. Are there any stretches I can do to lengthen my canal? I really care for this man, and I want to be able to satisfy him (we've been doing pretty good on the cam) when we finally get together. So far, your tips have been indispensable, so I'm confident, you can do me a solid on this one.

Thanks so much

Lisa's Reply-

Hi,

I can relate as my hubby is also well endowed. Contrary to popular belief, that "bigger is better," oral sex, anal sex, or vaginal intercourse with a well-endowed man can be challenging. For some, the "gag reflex" makes it difficult to have the entire shaft of the penis in one's mouth. For others, penetration causes pain. Here are some ideas that may help-

1) Mentally prepare.
One of the keys in having sex with a man who has a large penis is mental readiness. If you are tightening in fear or anticipation of being hurt, no object will be able to slide in easily. Instead, try to envision the two of you fitting together; that will bring added closeness to your relationship, along with pleasurable sensations for you both.

Breathing can also help, especially if you try to breathe together - in and out to match his thrusting. Breathe gently at first and then try to keep your breathing pattern slow and deep to help his penetration.

2) Physically prepare.
Use sex toys before hand that will help you to adjust to his girth and length. Allow your vaginal walls to stretch as you use a dildo or g-spot toy and perhaps get a medium size and a large size so that you can graduate to a larger size when you are ready. One of our dildos called Doc Johnson's Ultra Skin Dildo is a large dildo and would certainly get you prepared.

3) Take it slow.
Have him lavish attention on all your hot spots, with plenty of genital touching and tongue teasing. And, make sure you apply lots of water-based lube to your vagina or his shaft right before he enters you.

4) Stick with positions that keep his thrusts shallow.
The woman-on-top pose is a good one to try because it lets you control the depth of penetration. Have him lie flat on his back and hover over him on your hands and knees while sliding him inside you. Move your hips in circular motions as you glide up and down, only going as deep as you can handle. Or, have him sit on a chair with no arms. Then simply straddle his lap, either facing toward him or away from him, and use your feet and thigh muscles to pump away.

You can also try the missionary, but remember that the more your pelvis is tilted, the deeper the penetration, so none of that feet-over-his-shoulders, pillows under your butt stuff. Also, the further apart your legs are, the further he can thrust, so keep your thighs together. Not only will it prevent him from plunging in too far, it can also make for some out-of-this-world clitoral/penile friction. And don't forget, lubrication can come and go. So, be sure to keep adding the slick stuff as needed.

Things To Keep In Mind-

1. Don't do anything you feel uncomfortable with.
Having sex with someone should be a mutually enjoyable experience. Prior to engaging in sex, set up some boundaries so that he knows what to expect and not to expect. This will help to reduce anxiety and enhance the experience.

2. Anal or vaginal sex should be taken slowly.
Wanting to please your mate is certainly understandable, however trying to do too much too quickly can result in injury. He ready to pull out as soon as you say "STOP".

3. Consider other means of pleasure.
If you feel that your man is "too big" then don't try and force it right away. Try to discover mutually accepted forms of stimulation, such as masturbation, sex toys, etc. The point here is to not let yourself get boxed into situations that make you experience physical pain or anxiety.

 

 

Dear Lisa,
I look forward to each article that you publish. I think you do a great job getting the message out and I admire your causes. Thank you for your presence.

Sincerely,
MP

Sex In The News

This section is for sexual current events and news; allowing our web site visitors to hear sex news around the world.


Spanish Sex Play Investigated

German police are investigating a Spanish theater troupe under obscenity laws after displays of graphic sex and bestiality in a controversial play called "XXX." An outraged woman in the audience alerted police after witnessing scenes of urination, simulated rape and oral sex, as well as a video showing scenes of bestiality at the play's opening night in the northern city of Hamburg.

"We respect the right to freedom of artistic expression. But where the law may have been broken we have to investigate," Hamburg police spokesman Ralf Kunz said. "We will decide whether the play should be banned."

The piece by Catalan group "La Fura dels Baus" is billed as a modern theatrical response to the porn industry, and based on a 1795 text by infamous French playwright the Marquis de Sade. The show's producers have said the piece is designed to expose society's hypocritical attitudes to sex.

 


New Dress Code Draws Barmaid Protest

Over 10,000 barmaids crowded into a huge park in India's financial capital, Bombay to protest new government rules that impose dress rules and a code of conduct in night clubs.

Hundreds of women, many with their faces veiled, poured out of buses and trucks and waded through slush and rainwater to make their way to the park in the heart of the city. "Down with rules, down with rules, let us also live," the protesters shouted, as bar owners slammed the government for what they called its "stepmotherly treatment" of their industry.

Bombay has about 50,000 bar girls, as they are known locally, who dance in beer bars, entertaining clients by serving liquor and dancing to the latest Bollywood film tunes. The women said they were protesting rules that forbid them to reveal bare skin and call for a 3-foot-high wall around dance floors to keep customers from getting too close and showering them with money. The women, who have been the subject of an award-winning Bollywood film, fear the rules could transform the entire beer bar culture, leaving many of them jobless. "At this rate, we will run out of business. Nobody will come to our bars," said Manjit Singh Sethi, president of the Fight for Rights of Bar Owners Association.

Over the past few years, authorities have cracked down on bars in response to complaints of indecent or obscene behavior. A wave of police raids this year forced some bars to close down. "We are being harassed always," said one barmaid, 23-year-old Pooja Patil. "Are we criminals? Why do they raid our bars and then take us into custody? We are decent girls. We support our families and work hard for our living."

 


Judge Accused Of Masturbating Resigns

An Oklahoma judge facing removal over charges that he masturbated and used a device for enhancing erections under his robes during trials said he would retire from the bench. Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson, wrote to Oklahoma Gov. resigning effective Sept. 1, a move that will allow him to retire with a full pension.

A former state representative and a judge for 22 years, Thompson was accused by state Attorney General Drew Edmondson of using a "penis pump" to enhance erections during trials and exposing himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench.

The judge has denied the charges and did not refer to them in his letter of resignation. "I have greatly enjoyed my public service and offer my gratitude for the public trust reposed in me during the terms I served," he said.

 


Bullets Not Boobs
A group supporting natural breasts staged a small street protest in Hollywood on against a U.S. Military policy offering free breast implants to female soldiers. The group, led by porn star and former California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey, said the military should spend its money on "bullets, not boobs."

"We support our military 100 percent. Part of the reason we're protesting is that we think these tax dollars would be much better spent on essentials (for soldiers)," Kulkis said. "I'm personally opposed to boob jobs, but more so when they use our tax dollars for them," he said. "It's an issue near and dear to my heart."

 


Stripping Banned In Limousines

British Councilors from Welsh county of Gwynedd said many limousine for hire companies were providing erotic dancers as entertainment for clients, and agreed in-car striptease was "inappropriate."

Their report recommended changes to the licensing of limousines, including a blanket ban on striptease, lap dancing, pole dancing and "any other activity or performance of a like kind."

 


On-Duty Policemen Take Part In Porn

Two British policemen have been suspended from duty after a newspaper reported they had been filmed enjoying the attentions of porn stars while they were supposed to be on patrol.

The two policemen, aged 30 and 34, had been called to calm down a crowd who spotted a pornographic movie being filmed in a street in London's Soho district. But the officers talked their way into the film crew's van and allowed the two female stars to perform a sex act on them, while the crew secretly rolled the cameras.

"I was just expecting them to want their photo taken with the girls or get an autograph," the film's director, Marino Franchi, said. "It was unbelievable. They just decided to have their very own private porn movie while on the job."

Scotland Yard said two male officers from the Central London Territorial Support Group had been suspended from duty and that a disciplinary investigation had been launched into their conduct while on duty in Soho on July 26. "The Metropolitan police service demands the highest standards from all its staff, and patrolling forms a vital part in keeping London's streets safe," a Scotland Yard spokesman said. "We are disappointed by conduct which, if substantiated, brings the service into disrepute."

 


Lesbians Immune From Child Support?

Boston's highest court ruled a woman who agreed to have a child with her lesbian partner, but split up with the mother before the baby's birth, cannot be forced to pay child support. The case surrounded a Hampshire County lesbian couple, identified in court documents as ``T.F.'' and ``B.L.,'' who lived together from 1996 to 2000.

B.L. At first resisted T.F.'s wishes to have a child, but later changed her mind. The couple broke up after T.F. Got pregnant by artificial insemination. After the baby was born, T.F. Sued her former partner for child support.

Associate Justice Judith A. Cowin wrote that the informal agreement between the two women to have a child together did not constitute an enforceable contract, and B.L. Can't be forced to pay child support.

Three justices - including Chief Justice Margaret Marshall, who wrote the ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in Massachusetts - disagreed with the majority conclusion, saying that the implied contract between the woman is enforceable. ``The child may have been abandoned by the defendant, but he should not be abandoned by the court,'' Justice John M. Greaney wrote in the dissent.
