Having caused much debate among researchers as to whether its real, the G Spot (or Grafenberg spot) is a small area of especially high sensitivity situated underneath the surface of the vagina, on the wall towards the front of a woman’s body. The location varies from woman to woman, but it’s typically situated halfway between the pubic bone and the cervix – around three inches into the vagina. Researchers have discovered that some women experience sensitivity more generally along the upper vaginal wall, rather than in any definable spot. But because of the location of the G Spot being beneath the surface of the vaginal wall, it needs to be stimulated indirectly through the wall. Many women notice that they have an urge to urinate when this spot is stimulated but continued stimulation (with an empty bladder) can be very pleasurable. Some women even go on to experience orgasms and even expel fluid as part of their contractions. But this area of the body has been a great source of debate among researchers, with many people believing that it doesn’t exist. Researchers Alice Ladas, John Perry and Beverly Whipple named the spot in honour of Ernst grafenberg who discovered it. They argue that the area is located higher up along the vagina, whereas Israeli sexologist Dr Zwi Hoch states that the entire anterior of the vaginal wall is filled with nerve endings that are capable of creating an intense state of arousal.
Naturally, orgasmic function is highly individualised among women and this means that women vary vastly in how and if they achieve orgasm. Where her G Spot is and whether it can influence her orgasm varies and depends on the woman in question. Recent research shows that orgasmic function and how women orgasm is highly genetically based, so whether a woman has an orgasm through oral sex alone or direct clitoral stimulation, or a combination of intercourse and stimulation, is something that is determined by their genetic make-up. For women who have the potential to orgasm with intercourse as well as direct clitoral stimulation, stimulation to the G Spot can be useful. It’s not, however, useful to be worrying about it’s location, not is it useful in looking for the same spot in a man as this only exists in women. The other area of debate with this issue is the composition of the fluid which is sometimes expelled by women during orgasm from G Spot stimulation. Some researchers claim that it’s urine, whereas others state that this is a substance corresponding to seminal fluid in men, but without the sperm. Not every woman will ejaculate with G Spot stimulation though, not do they necessarily ejaculate with every G Spot orgasm.
It’s quite difficult for a woman to explore her own G Spot because most women don’t have fingers long enough to reach it. However, inserting a safe, clean, appropriate object such as a vibrator, into the vagina is probably the safest way for self-exploration. Alternatively, the help of a trusted partner during sex can work effectively as well. Through experimentation, a woman can learn the type of stimulation that works best for her during sex. Penile stimulation is often more effective when done through steady and prolonged pressure, rather than the usual thrusting, because the G Spot needs an intense and localised pressure to be stimulated. Gradually increasing the pressure with help to identify the optimal pressure for erotic arousal without causing any pain. For some women, this pressure is enough to help them achieve orgasm whereas others may find that it simply heightens their pleasure. Rear entry and female-on-top positions during sex can be effective ways to produce more direct stimulation to this area.
