The G-spot may seem like a magical, mythical pleasure zone. In reality, it is a small area on the front wall of the vagina between the cervix and vaginal opening. The “G” honors Ernst Grafenberg, a German physician who wrote an article in the 1950s about “an erotic zone that would swell during sexual stimulation.” 1 Researchers aren't exactly sure of the G-spot's structure. Some hypothesize that the G-spot is a bundle of nerves extending from the clitoris. Others think that the G-spot is a gland that provides lubrication, resembling the prostate gland in men. 1
A recent study confirmed the presence of the G-spot in all women. However, not everyone finds G-spot stimulation pleasurable. Some women have orgasms through G-spot stimulation alone, others prefer a combination of G-spot and clitoral arousal.
Some people have the sudden urge to urinate when pressure is placed on the G-spot. This feeling usually subsides over time, while intense pleasure increases. 1
