What Is The GSpot
         It's History, Finding It, Stimulating It, Female Ejaculation, & More

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.

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.

Do 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!

Study That Says Only Some Women Have A G-spot-

One scientist has come to the conclusion that the much-talked-about area believed to be the point of origin for the female "vaginal" orgasm does exist but only in some women, according to a small study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Emmanuele Jannini of the University of L'Aquila in Italy used an ultrasound to scan the area of the vagina where the G-spot, also called the Gräfenberg spot after Ernest Gräfenberg, the man who discovered it, is located. Jannini determined that the tissue on the front vaginal wall located behind the urethra was noticeably thicker in the women who reported having vaginal orgasms.

The thicker tissue, the study concluded, demonstrates the presence of a G-spot. "For the first time, it is possible to determine by a simple, rapid and inexpensive method if a woman has a G-spot or not," Jannini said. "Women without any visible evidence of a G-spot cannot have a vaginal orgasm.''

However, one has to examine if that is what we are really referring to when we are identifying the g-spot. Are we saying that it is tissue or are we saying that it is the Skenes glands under the tissue. If we agree that it is the Skenes glands (which most would agree upon) that make up the g-spot, and because all women have Skenes glands, then it is only fair to say that all women have a g-spot.

However, some women have thicker tissue in front of the Skenes glands which means that it makes it's presence more pronounced and easier to find. It also allows for more pressure to be placed on it when a penis, finger or sex toy is pressing against it. Therefore, it would logically make sense that those women that have more tissue in front of the Skenes glands would be more prone to vaginal orgasm than those with not as much tissue.

For one scientist to come forward and make such a bold claim after only examining one aspect of the g-spot is like one not being able to see the forest through the trees. When you look at a woman as a whole than you can see her sexual functioning more clearly.

All women have a g-spot, however, the sensitivity of that g-spot, the mass of tissue in front of it and the size of those glands are all variables. A woman will have to determine if she has high or low sensitivity and work with what she has. Should she not find much pleasure through g-spot stimulation, then certainly vaginal stimulation is still an over all pleasurable sensation, especially when enhanced with clitoral stimulation.

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.
