The G-spot 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.” Researchers are not exactly sure of the G-spot's structure. Some hypothesize that the G-spot is a bundle of nerves extending from the clitoris, and others think that the G-spot is a gland that provides lubrication, resembling the prostate gland in men.
A recent study confirmed the presence of the G-spot in all women. However, not everyone finds G-spot stimulation necessary to reach an orgasm. Some women have orgasms through G-spot stimulation alone while 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 and intense pleasure increases.
To determine whether or not this zone is pleasurable to you, you must first locate your G-spot. The following steps will help you find this elusive zone:
