What is the G spot?

The G-spot (named after a Dr. Grafenberg) is a sensitive area toward the back of the vagina, somewhere between the pubic bone and the cervix. The only way to find it is through vaginal penetration (ideally with a finger) and to touch the surrounding area to find any spots that seem particularly sensitive to stimulation. Erogenous zones clearly vary for different women. We should point out that although some women find this spot to be very sensitive and enhancing to their enjoyment of sex, others do not report having such a spot or finding its stimulation particularly exciting.

For some women, when this area is stimulated during sex, the result is an orgasm that feels different from, or more intense than, the orgasm they have with clitoral stimulation only. The orgasm may also include a gush of fluid from the urethra. No one is quite certain what the liquid is composed of but many women find the “ejaculation” pleasurable and their partners find it exciting.
