G-Spot: Myths vs Facts

Ah, the infamous G-spot. Allusive to some and loved by many. 

Since the 1940s, its very existence has been debated with no clear answer. Some believe it to be a medical fact, while others choose to deny its existence entirely. 

What we do know is that, like everything else regarding a woman’s body, it’s complicated. 

Is the G-spot real?

Yes and no, there is no distinct part of a woman’s anatomy labeled as the g-spot. However, this magical area in the vagina does seem to be part of the clitoral network. Therefore, it is seen as an erogenous zone inside the vaginal canal about 2-3 inches from the anterior wall opening. 

 The G-spot, also known as the Gräfenberg spot (named after the German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg), was first medically publicized by Dr. Beverly Whipple in her book The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality. During a study, she discovered that women could achieve a strong physical response by using a “come here” motion inside the vagina. 

Myths vs. Facts

When it comes to the G-spot, there are several myths and misconceptions surrounding it. 

Myth: Not Every Woman Has a G-Spot

Fact: Every woman with a vagina has the same erogenous zone where the G-spot is found. However, not every woman has explored that area or knows how to stimulate it effectively. According to the School of Squirt's theory, G-spot massage is the key to G-spot orgasms.

Myth: Female Ejaculation Caused by G-Spot Stimulation is Actually Urine

Fact: Female ejaculate is real, and it is not urine. The ejaculate is produced from the Skene’s gland, which comes out of two ducts on either side of the urethra. The fluid is a thick whitish substance that resembles very diluted milk. 

Fun Fact: A 2011 study showed that female ejaculate contains components of semen like prostate-specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase. 

Myth: If You Can’t Have a G-Spot Orgasm, Then Something is Wrong

Fact: If you have been unsuccessful in finding that special zone or if stimulating that spot causes you discomfort or doesn’t produce an orgasm, there is nothing wrong with you. It can take a few tries to find the right location, and even when you do, you might find that you get no pleasure from it. This is all ok. It doesn’t mean there is something wrong or that you are dysfunctional. It may just mean that the G-spot is not THE spot for you. 

If you want to keep trying, here are a few tips:

• Try exploring when your body is relaxed. 
• Massage the anterior or upper wall of your vagina about 2-3 inches in. 
• Experiment with different motions like a come here motion, steady pressure back and forth, or whatever feels the most pleasurable to you. 
• If your fingers can’t comfortably reach, use a sex toy like a sucking vibrator or vibrator bullet. 

Myth: You can only achieve a G-spot orgasm through masturbation or with a sex toy.

Fact: You can achieve a g-spot orgasm in whatever way you choose just as long as the zone is stimulated.

Do men have G-spots as well?

Yes and No. Medically speaking, men do not have g-spots. However, many believe the prostate gland to be the male G-spot. 

The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut located in the pelvis. It sits below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. You can stimulate the prostate indirectly or directly. 

To indirectly stimulate the prostate, use your fingers to put pressure on the area of skin between the testicles and anus called the perineum. Then, rhythmically press the area while stimulating the penis to achieve a climax. 

To directly stimulate the prostate, insert a finger or sex toy into the anus about 1-2inches in. If you are using your finger, you should feel a bulge about the size of a walnut. Once it’s found, experiment with different types of direct pressure to see what feels the most pleasurable. You can achieve an orgasm this way without stimulating your penis, or you can do both. 

If you are a man who wants to explore your G-spot alone, try using a butt plug while jerking off. Don’t forget the lube! 

The G-spot is a hotly debated topic among the medical field and everyday people alike. Some believe it to be a figment of a woman’s imagination, while others know it to be true. All we know for sure is that exploring your body and finding all the different ways you can pleasure it is never a bad thing. So, get exploring!
