Does the G-spot really exist?
There is a lot of confusion surrounding the area known as the G-spot. Let's take a closer look at some of the most frequently asked questions.
I've heard that the G-spot doesn't exist!
In January 2012, the media declared that there was no such thing as the G-Spot. This information was based on a study by scientists at King's College in London.
As it turned out, the study in question was flawed. For example, lesbian and bisexual women were not invited to part take in the study, nor were any women who hadn't had heterosexual intercourse. And - the study largely ignored the 56% of women who said yes, they did indeed have a G-spot.
The Kings College study doesn't prove much, except scientists don't necessarily ask the right people the right questions, and the media will distort results for a better headline.
I've tried but can't find my G-spot!
Maybe you're not a G-spot gal, and that's fine. Some women and vulva owners don't respond to stimulation of this area, but that doesn't mean something is wrong.
If you want to give it another go, try lubing up one or two fingers and firmly massaging the front wall of the vagina. The area here will feel different from the soft walls of the rest of the vagina. This is the area known as the G-spot.
What is the G-spot?
The G-spot is a sensitive area on the front wall of the vagina. No one seems to be sure of what it is biologically (and no wonder, even scientists are telling us we're making it up!).
The G-spot might be:
1. The female equivalent of the male prostate gland or P-spot.
2. The back and/or internal part of the clitoris, which is an impressive nine inches long and wraps itself around the vagina.
3. The urethral sponge - a collection of erectile tissue around the urethra.
4. All of the above.
There are many theories because it's not something that gets studied a lot. Also (we suspect) because iwhen it is 'studied' it's by scientists who come to this with their own preconceptions and assumptions.
So does my G-spot does exist, then?
Only you can answer that.
We're not here to lay down the law about your body and experiences - every women is unique. After 30+ years of cherry-picking and testing the best sex toys and speaking to thousands of women, we believe there is an area that can produce intense sensations when stimulated.
You are the best expert on your body. If you are curious and want to explore this area - fantastic!
If the search for the elusive G-spot seems like too much faff and you'd prefer to focus on other erogenous zones - that's great too!
Listen to your body. Enjoy what feels good to you, and ignore what scientists and the media say.
