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

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 videoThe 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

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.

Help From A Physician

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

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 videoThe Art of Female Ejaculation
in regard to techniques and sensation.
I
hope this reply assists you, and finds you well.
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

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

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.
