The g-spot is named after gynecologist Ernst Graffenberg who discovered and first wrote about the infamous pleasure point in a paper that he published in 1950. It received very little attention until the early ’80’s when a book called The G-Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality was published igniting a great deal of controversy about it due to the fact that there was a lot of anecdotal evidence coming in from women who were saying that they had found it and that YES! it most certainly did exist, and gynecologists and scientists who were saying that there was absolutely no medical basis for the existence of the g-spot due to the fact that they simply couldn’t find it (this was at the fault of the technology of the day–recent MRI technology has found that there actually is a physical difference in the tissue around the area of the vagina that is the purported “g-spot”). In fact, there was one study of female ejaculation in which 84% of the 1300 or so professional women who responded reported a sensitive area in the vagina, and this was correlated with those who also reported ejaculation (Source: Archives of Sexual Behavior ).
Location of the G-Spot
The g-spot is known to be located 1 to 3 inches inside the vagina on the anterior (the front) wall. In my experience, it’s closer to 3 inches and you may, in fact, really have to stretch with your fingers to hit it, but it can almost always be done. When it becomes aroused it fills with blood, similar to the way the male penis does, and gets larger so that it feels like a quarter to half-doller sized bump. It’s also known to often have small ridges on it, so that when it’s aroused and enlarged it feels not unlike the ridges on the roof of your mouth. For more detailed information about where the g-spot is, how to find it, and how to stimulate it (with your fingers, sex toys, during intercourse, etc.) I recommend you see the homepage post I have up that has diagrams and two videos along with plenty of instructions: How To Find The G-Spot.
The Relation Between The G-Spot And Female Ejaculation (Squirting)
There has been a definite relation established between the correct stimulation of the g-spot and female ejaculation, aka “squirting”. It’s thought that an entity known as the Skene’s Gland, located inside the anterior vagina near the urethra, and possibly connected to the urethral sponge (thought to actually be the g-spot by some). The Skene’s Gland has been biopsied, examined, and found to have tissue identical to that of the male prostate gland. It has been demonstrated that the skene’s gland is capable of excreting a very large amount of the fluid used to lubricate the vagina, and it’s thought that this fluid is possibly what is being ejaculated by a women during a powerful squirting g-spot orgasm. It’s also been determined that the fluid which emerges from it is very similar in composition to the fluid excreted by the male prostate gland. Some women have even reported that stimulating the area around the skene’s gland can result in orgasm and as a result this area is sometimes referred to as “the U-spot”.
