The
term "G-Spot" was first introduced to the public
at large in the book, "The G Spot and Other Recent
Discoveries About Human Sexuality" in the 1980s.
It referred to an article from 1950 in the International Journal
of Sexology in which gynecologist, Dr. Ernest Grafenberg wrote
about erotic sensitivity along the anterior vaginal wall.
While
many people have read or heard about Grafenberg, few have
read his actual words. In
reality, Grafenberg only uses the word "spot"
twice and he uses it to make the opposite point to the way
it has been popularly used. He states that "there is
no spot in the female body, from which sexual desire could
not be aroused. Innumerable erotogenic spots are distributed
all over the body, from where sexual satisfaction can be elicited;
these are so many that we can almost say that there is no
part of the female body which does not give sexual response,
the partner has only to find the erotogenic zones."
The Grafenberg
spot (G-Spot) is said to be a sensitive area just behind the
front wall of the vagina, between the back of the pubic bone
and the cervix. Beverly Whipple, a certified sex educator
and counselor, and John D. Perry, an ordained minister, psychologist,
and sexologist, named the G-Spot after gynecologist Ernest
Grafenberg (1881-1957).
Dr. Grafenberg
was the first modern physician to describe the area and argue
for its importance in female sexual pleasure. His claim is
that when this spot is stimulated during sex through vaginal
penetration of some kind (fingers during masturbation, penis
or other object partly thrusting into the vagina), some women
have an orgasm. This orgasm may include a gush of fluid from
the urethra -- sometimes called the “female
ejaculation” -- however, many experts do not agree
on this. It is not considered urine. Is this real? Many gynecologists
and physiologist still argue.
There
has been a large amount of controversy among sex researchers
regarding this theory. For women who have felt this gush
of urethral fluid, or for those who have found a new pleasure
spot, having a name for it confirms their experience.
But remember,
not all women are sensitive in this area, so be careful not
to set up unrealistic expectations for yourself. Try it out;
if it works, great, if it doesn't seem sensitive, try to find
the spot(s) that are right for you!
