G-Spot

The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot is named after German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg. It is a small area in the genital area of women behind the pubic bone and surrounding the urethra. It is the same as, or part of, the urethral sponge, the site of Skene's glands.

Stimulation of the G-spot (through the front wall of the vagina) is said to promote a more vigorous and satisfying orgasm, and is possibly the cause of female ejaculation from the Skene's glands, contained in the urethral sponge. Such stimulation requires a somewhat opposite thrust to that required to obtain maximal clitoral stimulation via the penis, called "riding high".

Many sexual advice books encourage couples unable to reach female orgasm to consider G-spot stimulation as a sexual technique. It is believed by a growing number of experts that the reason stimulation of this area causes a "push out" orgasm, even female ejaculation, is that it has evolved as a trigger point for childbirth. The infant's head pushes on this precise spot during delivery, seeming to trigger the final phase of pushing/delivery. This translates, during normal sexual stimulation, into a more significant contraction of the vagina.

The G-spot may not be just one discrete spot. In fact, some science writers such as Natalie Angier contend that it is merely the deep nerves of the clitoris as they pass through the tissue to connect with the spinal column. The clitoris has deep roots and may in fact change in size and slightly change in location as hormone levels fluctuate throughout a woman's life.

A penis that curves upwards has a natural ability to exert more pressure on the front wall of the vagina. If a penis doesn't curve upwards, then different sexual positions may be required. For example, a man whose penis curves downwards may find the doggy style position is more suitable for stimulating the G-spot as the curve works against the front wall.

Stimulation of the G-spot through the use of a finger, or fingers, is possible through the combined pressure of pushing down on the clitoris while arcing the finger upwards in a beckoning motion. The finger must be approximately 1-3 inches inside the vagina for this to work. However, different individuals require different forms of stimulation. A G-spot sex toy can be used to stimulate the G-spot also.

The stimulation of the G-spot is thought to be more intense for women beyond their thirties, because of changes in tissue structure inside the vagina allowing easier access to the G-spot. Some women believe their thirties are their sexual peak because of this reason.

The term 'G-spot' is also used by analogy as a slang term for the prostate gland in men, which may be stimulated through anal play or by pressing on the perineum (skin directly beneath the scrotum).
