Slashdot Mirror
New Research Suggests G-Spot Doesn't Exist
krou writes to tell us that according to a new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, a team from King's College London has found no evidence to suggest that the G-Spot actually exists, and they believe it may be a myth encouraged by magazines and sex therapists. The study performed is the largest of its kind, including some 1,800 women, and still was unable to find meaningful proof. Of course, the studies were probably all led by men, who everyone knows can't find the G-Spot anyway.
And the crowd goes wild..
On a more serious note, why do you have to make it so technical? Different areas stimulate differently and some are more powerful than others. If girls say that specific area pleasures them more, you don't have to make tons of researches about it. You can just believe it. And like with everything else sexual, it can difference between people.
If you are coming (as a man, and as a hint for slashdot's girls), stimulating the area between your balls and asshole makes your orgasm a lot more powerful. It's even possible to come just by stimulating that area, without touching your dick (I've done it). That is actually what's called men "g-spot", while technically its deeper in your ass, but you can stimulate it somewhat from under your balls too. If you're not up for gay sex, you can of course ask your girl to put a finger in your ass and try to stimulate it from there.
Also why not just experience? Girls tend to let you know what feels good, in a way or another. Or just ask her if she has spotted it and help you stimulate it. It will be slighty different with every girl, because everyones body and sexuality is slighty different.
If there's one area in your life thats not all technical and about science, let it be sex, and just have fun.
Anything that convinces a woman she can enjoy sex is a good thing. They have a hard enough time dealing with religious guilt / social mores.
Is this article on slashdot for the three of us women? Or are there more women lurking than we knew about?
As most of slashdoters have not seen the G-spot either.
There's a large, easily felt physical outcropping which is one of several significant stimulus points. Maybe it's not the grafenberg spot, but it's what we think of when we hear g-spot.
There's a reason that people believe in this thing, ask for it to be stimulated on certain moods, et cetera.

Good thing we on Slashdot found out about this. Now all of us experts on this topic can go back to our normal lives now that we know why that one wasn't working. [/smirk]

The dumb thing about this study is that they ask women if they have a G-spot.
Shit, with that methodology and the right sample population I can prove that men don't have prostate glands or spleens.
I've seen it!

No one on /. has been able to find it either.
Fantastic methodology there! We won't actually study the person, we'll just ask them! What an awesome popularity contest.

The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
They asked? That's it?
*sigh*
For a minute there, I thought I'd found my new dream job. "Now, tell me if this makes you have an orgasm. Don't worry, it's for science."
And she thinks I can find it, then who cares what anyone else thinks?
Even if it's bullshit, who is getting hurt here?
Oh right, this is where people chime in with "what about people who are making themselves miserable trying to find it", as if those people actually exist...

I found my girlfriend's while in college. While stimulating her manually once, I started to keep track. She had 54 orgasms in a row. I was ready for some more, but, after about a half hour of it, she was worn out.
Repeated direct observation has utterly convinced me that there is both something in the area of the spot in question, and that it can lead to female ejaculation.

And talked to death there . . .
Most Slashdotters think a Vagina is that blurred area over the crotch in pictures of the only naked women they've ever seen.
"I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it." : Dogbert
If it's just "some area inside the vagina that is more sensitive than the rest" then just by the uneven expression of genes is almost HAS to exist. If you define it as "some area inside _all_ vaginas that will _always_ produce an orgasm is stimulated" then by definition it does not exist.
But of course, this is probably just the normal case of media misrepresenting the findings.
How about they give me 1800 women, and I'll decide wether or not a g-spot exists
If I knew this was a study to absolutely find proof that it exists, I would ask ALL women that have g spots to come forward, and of these I would pick 1000 ( atleast 10% will be enough to get what I need)). Then I would start by going in with a camera to pin point the exact location and type of tissue that the gspot is composed of....as I am sure it would be slightly different then the rest, as to allow a better stimulation.
Next I would then map out the exact production of ??? hormone that is released from this area or secretion, I am not sure what it is called (placenta...? yuk) I would then use this to help me promote the finding of the gspot in women that could not have gspot orgasm, or normal women, (90%)
I would then ask another 1000 candidates to come forward for testing to help find the gspot, this would entail possible stimulation and multi orgasm... as I would be relentless in finding that damn gspot.
After sending in the camera to find similar tissues, which might be present in enough of 10% (100) cases...then I would proceed to stimulate the area until the area secreted that placenta like liquid that so many women can squirt while filming those p0rnos.
As for the rest of the story, well I am sure you can figure it out. I am not a doctor, and yet I can easily find the best way to get proof of the gspot. I know it exists myself, so I can assure you that this method would probably work....except I dont need reassurance....I get enough of that when I have to change the bedsheets.
And as for the dorks who try to sell you on the fact that it does not exists, well, they could not find it, and they never will....it hides from those not worthy. I have seen the holy grail, and felt its wetly presence and can speak from experience, it does exist.
So when you are hungry for a drink, and too tired to get up during the middle of the night, you can always go under the covers for a refreshing beverage as this is exactly what the gspot is for!
nuff said
My wife claims she notices three distinctly different kinds of orgasms - clit, g-spot, and a more nebulous 'vaginal' one. She never had an orgasm until I figured out where her supposedly non-existent g-spot is - that opened the flood gates to a whole bunch of really good sex.
Does the g-spot exist? Who cares. Something in the general vicinity of where my wife thinks her g-spot is can be stimulated to bring her to orgasm. Happy wife -> more sex -> happy me!

Come on, we are supposed to have a meaningful discussion about this here? Let me sum up all the comments that are forth coming. Jokes about /.ers not being able to get out of the basement to get a girl let alone knwoing about their G-Spot.
The 3 women on slashdot offering their opinion, which will lead to a bunch of /.ers being surprised that there are women on /.
Comments about how we welcome our new G-spot overlords. Yes, it makes no sense but most reading this are saying, woman, what is that? G-Spot, what is that...must be some new kind of fembot, cue the overlord jokes.
Imagine a Beowoulf Cluster of these....
The person always complaining about how /. sucks now and how this is not new about something tech related
Someone correcting my grammar/spelling mistakes followed by someong correcting their and a spiral for the grammar/spelling Nazis...Jsut for those people in case I don't have enough, I is not bengi thiking that yous peopel is being knwoing Engrish prperly, not like it maters anyway on a plaec of blogging.
The few /.ers who claim to have dated women and know where the G-Spot is and are trying to prove they are a man here on /.
I think I about covered it all...next topic...please. ;)
In my, er, sample of practical application... they do.
their hearts must *not* be *truly* klingon.
Is this something that will bepart of the next stable gnome release?
Alex, I'll take keybindings not used by Emacs for $400....
Drawing the conclusion that there is no G-spot because it isn't _genetically_ determined is ludicrous. It's like saying humans don't have fingerprints because identical twins have different patterns.
Q: How do you spell clitoris?"
A: I don't know, but I had it on the tip of my tongue just a moment ago.
I will not stop searching for the g-spot until I find it!
I'm going to claim it's irrelevant if there is such a thing as a g-spot physically. If your partner has a specific spot (in addition to the clitoris) in her genitals which by the way of stimulation induces a torrent of orgasms we might as well call it a g-spot. The single most important "sex organ" is the human brain anyway, does it matter exactly how something works if it works?
Granted, it's nice to understand stuff scientifically and all. But in my experience sex it more of an art than science... ;)

Who cares if it exists or not? I find that if I search for it vigorously with fingers, tongue, and penis, she gets the desired result.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
It's like reporting on the flavor of turkey in a Vegan magazine, or presenting a paper on the physical evidence for unicorns for peer review by Nature.
Get off my virtual lawn, you damned virtual kids!
... because otherwise she would *never* have those orgasms when I finger inside her around that one particular area --- not to mention those instances when she gets herself off.

HUSBAND: Shall we try a different position tonight?

and every man on earth yells in unison! we told you it wasn't us!
I've just managed to convince my wife that her "g-spot" is actually located in her throat -- don't ruin this for me!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Where do you sign up for a team like that?!?!?!
It's left blank because I have nothing to say to you punks!
So this study is about whether identical twins both self-report the same data. It's possibly a badly executed study on genetics, but it certainly does not study what the headline says.
In a different study, the spot was found during physical examination, and reportedly can be increased in size through vigorous stimulation. I know, citation needed, but I remember facts better than URLs.
No, the idea of whether you have one is subjective. Whether you actually have one should be as subjective as whether you have a femur.
Sounds reasonable...
Sounds like actual evidence...
Sounds speculative.
The existence of such a thing is irrelevant. The intimate and passionate search for your partners ecstasy in its varied and wondrous versions, is by itself purpose enough. Just as I do not pray to find the existence or location God on Google Maps, I pray so I may become closer to my relationship to God.
If all men/women spent time discovering every inch of the person they love a map of O' spots would be irrelevant. Each person is different and they change over time. Constant renewal of discovery it critical to the love life.

edit, should be: No, the idea of whether you think you have one is subjective. Whether you actually have one should be as subjective as whether you have a femur.
Which is to say, it pretty much requires a physical examination, and preferably should include something like the eye doctor saying "Is this better, or worse? How about now?"
It's incomprehensible that the question is even contemplated 'does it exist?' - Of course it does. However, the 'where' is the easiest part of the equation. The more important questions of 'when to start looking for it' and 'what to do when you locate it' are never even mentioned in passing.
femurs? gspots? sadness for humanity. who are you with? communicate with them! so simple.

I thought GSpot was just a piece of software for identifying codecs.

No wonder my boss looked at me funny when I recommended she try GSpot.
Have you ever read Gina Ogden's book (Women Who Love Sex)?
There's a great chapter in there about women who "think off" (that is, mentally initiate their own orgasm).
I believe in the male's case it is referred to as premature ejaculation or something similar? Hell, if they can't find their own G-spots they can just think themselves off......
You just haven't had it stimulated before. This is sadly an indicator of the poor work done by their sexual partners, and doesn't prove if it's there or not. :-p).
As a man who has researched very heavily into female anatomy specifically in regards to errogenous zones, I have never failed to find a woman's clitoris, g-spot or perineum. Most women are very surprised when it is stimulated for the first time, usually during oral sex. Using two fingers with the come hither gesture is generally the most effective, although stimulating it with the penis is easy enough if you modify the missionary position so that her knees are in her chest or her calves are on either side of your neck. Any position that makes the angle of entry point towards her pelvic bone towards the center will do so.
While I may not be a doctor or researcher, I can tell you with %100 certainty that there is a g-spot, I just can't tell you what it's does for every woman (I haven't slept with them
Of all the Universal Constants, here's one I know: Nice guys finish last
One man's troll is another man's truth.
We are nerds. We don't do sex. We dwell in our basements and code stuff. Even now. It's 22:07. I have opened text editor, mysql console, todo list, rapidsvn and some paused porn movie. Never been near woman for ages. Who write these sex stories on /. anyway? What's even the G-spot man? Some brand new google crap? No thanks.
my wife says it exists... so it must....
Their "proof" that the G spot doesn't exist consists of asking women if they have them. So if I ask people is they have a spleen or a vameronasal organ and 46% say they don't, then we can prove that those organs don't exist? A nerve bundle is a piece of physical anatomy, you should be able to prove if it exists or not based on cadaver research. If there is an anatomical nerve cluster, then you stimule the area on living women, have a control group where you stimulate a random area of the vulva, and compare fMRI tests. Surveys are nonsense if you are trying to prove the existence of a piece of physical anatomy.
OK, with all of the suggestions here, I am SO CLOSE to finding my G-spot and I just need a bit of help.
So I've got two fingers in (relax guys, I am legal, just turned 19 last week), and curled backward to do the 'come here' sign, but backwards, since I am doing this to myself. I am almost two inches in, and it is starting to feel good, but my fingers are short. My question is this: Should I try to go deeper by inserting a third finger, or will this just make my thumb jamb up against my balls?

The women that denied having a G-spot just haven't had sex with me yet.
it's just that google has kept it in beta.
While your story sounds nice it doesn't make the study any better.
Because what if one of those twins was more sexually active than the other ?
Their conclusion will then basically boil down to: "If you never had sex you don't have a g-spot".

It's called a 3 karat diamond.
I think the title of this article should be: "New research proves that G-Spot research team is abysmal between the sheets."
Really, anyone even remotely experienced at lovemaking (with women) knows that the G-Spot is real. If you're a lucky woman it is even pretty easy to find.
The problem is that women obsess over their looks, weight and relationship before during and after sex. Of course they're not going to enjoy as much if at all while worrying if the guy is looking at their fat or what the effects of the bit of chocolate they ate over lunch will be.
This does not apply to all women but it certainly applies to heck of a lot more women than men. Women tend to be more emotional and will let things get to them more where as guys are more likely not to care and therefore enjoy sex more often.
It is because of this little theory that I'm sure the person who enjoys sex the most is the least emotional person and therefore Spock probably enjoys sex more than any person should legally be allowed to.
Don't be fooled; this so-called "research" was funded by the KDE project.

Here is my experience with three different girls.
1st, it isn't active in any girl I've met (I'm sure they exist but I havn't met them)
2nd, when I followed the procedure in Don Hick's book (I forget the title) it worked perfectly with two of them. It was took more patience with the third but she hadn't had sex at all in a long time. All also began to ejaculate the first time or soon after second time. This is not urine. They can do this several times and then go have a full pee afterwards. It's important to stay lubricated and hydrated.
3rd, once it was active and a girl had a few orgasms that way, then her entire vagina also woke up over the next few months until there were many areas (in this supposedly low nerve area) which she would respond with orgasms. Typically, they could have 20-30 orgasms over 2-3 hours.
Hick's book basically says, lots of kissing, petting, and foreplay until her chest flushes and she starts involuntarily moving her pubic area. Then (and only then) go in to the area inside on top, about the length of your middle finger inside, find a spongy area (under her clitoris) and begin a gentle circular motion about about 1 cycle per second while continuing to keep your head near her head.
It's best to keep your own pants on and make sure there is no pressure on her to have a climax. Just say romantic things about wanting to make her feel good- no goal. And if it doesn't work, you don't make a big deal out of it.

As much as I support the scientific method, I can see how these things wouldn't come up in a science laboratory. They are a bit sterile.
In my own body, it can take 20-30 minutes before everything wakes up. There is a very distinct feeling like having an alcholic drink that hits at about 20 minutes when nerves on the left side wake up and warm feelings spread down the leg and across the back and inside the left pelvic girdle.

2. still with your palm face up, point back at yourself with your middle finger. Your middle finger should now be meeting resistance from the underside of the dudette's pubic bone.
3. move the tip of your finger around a little bit until you feel something a bit like fish gills.

G-Spot Twin Study Genetics Heritability
ABSTRACT
Introduction. There is an ongoing debate around the existence of the G-spot—an allegedly highly sensitive area on the anterior wall of the human vagina. The existence of the G-spot seems to be widely accepted among women, despite the failure of numerous behavioral, anatomical, and biochemical studies to prove its existence. Heritability has been demonstrated in all other genuine anatomical traits studied so far.
Aim. To investigate whether the self-reported G-spot has an underlying genetic basis.
Methods. 1804 unselected female twins aged 22–83 completed a questionnaire that included questions about female sexuality and asked about the presence or absence of a G-spot. The relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to variation in the reported existence of a G-spot was assessed using a variance components model fitting approach.
Main Outcome Measures. Genetic variance component analysis of self-reported G-spot.
Results. We found 56% of women reported having a G-spot. The prevalence decreased with age. Variance component analyses revealed that variation in G-spot reported frequency is almost entirely a result of individual experiences and random measurement error (>89%) with no detectable genetic influence. Correlations with associated general sexual behavior, relationship satisfaction, and attitudes toward sexuality suggest that the self-reported G-spot is to be a secondary pseudo-phenomenon.
Conclusions. To our knowledge, this is the largest study investigating the prevalence of the G-spot and the first one to explore an underlying genetic basis. A possible explanation for the lack of heritability may be that women differ in their ability to detect their own (true) G-spots. However, we postulate that the reason for the lack of genetic variation—in contrast to other anatomical and physiological traits studied—is that there is no physiological or physical basis for the G-spot.

.. it helps enormously if you're already aroused. Here too, foreplay is your friend.
Personally, I think they could not have shot themselves more accurately in their feet if they user laser sights. The G-spot is even anatomically documented - there was just a gap for a century when any extra pleasure centre was censored out of anatomical drawings (no, I kid you not) but these days anatomical drawings are accurate..

I've had first hand experience with several lovers who went absolutely CRAZY WILD when I inadvertently "found" their G Spot, and this was 20 years before anyone heard of a G Spot.
So, I'd postulate something was/is going on with these women in the so called G Spot area, it's there for them, no matter what some "scientists" seem to believe.
Most of our sexuality and sexual response occurs between our ears. There probably isn't any part of our identity that is more personal and individual, and I personally suspect that applies as much if not more so to women as it does to men. When I was a teenager, I knew a pair of identical twin women who lived on my block. One was very feminine and hetero, had a kid she was devoted to and multiple boyfriends. The other was a very masculine lesbian. Other than hair style and clothing choices, they looked and sounded exactly the same. They had the same hardware but were running entirely different software. They were otherwise very close too, even having one of those anecdotal "twin moments" as teenagers, where one knew the other was hurt by intuition. The more masculine of the two had skipped school and was spending the day in a woods that was one of her favorite hangouts, climbing trees. She fell and broke a leg. The feminine twin, at school, became so distraught with a feeling that her sister was in trouble that she convinced the teacher to let her go to the office, where she called her father at work and told him where to find her sister. I was told this story by the high school science teacher that had them in class, years later. He was admitting to me that there were some things he had witnessed that could not be explained by science yet. I confirmed the story later with their Dad, who had retired and spent his time painting art in his garage, which I passed on my way home from school. The first point of all of that is that genetics doesn't entirely dictate your individual sexuality or your personal sexual experience. The second point is that not everything that we experience can be explained by a scientific theory. If women experience this, regardless of a physical structure to blame it on, so what?
I personally believe it does exist. I've been with my wife almost 20 years, and have only managed to find it about 3 times though, and none of those were planned or managed by using fingers or toys designed for the purpose (even though we have used them). The one thing in common was that I was entering from behind and she had her hips tilted forward slightly, because that is what she thought was feeling best at the time. Each time I was moving slowly and pressing firmly, and when I hit the spot she went wild. One of those times, my knees slipped during her frenzy and I lost the spot, and she was angry with me, emotionally only; intellectually she knew that was silly and that it wasn't my fault. We've never managed to repeat by attempting to find it. Her needs and wants are different almost every time though, she's quite the challenge, and never predictable. I do get a similar kind of reaction from her out of reverse cowgirl, but she always prefers me on top and to be able to see my face, so we don't do it that often. Still, I suspect we're somehow stimulating the spot when doing that too, albeit with a little less direct pressure. In each of those cases, she was almost totally out of control, and crying after we had finished. While she does enjoy it when it is happening, she gets scared of how it "takes over". There is definitely something special going on there.
Reading through the rest of the comments, there's a lot of juvenile reaction to this topic. Much of it is sexist or downright imbecilic. Take the time to educate yourself a little, first about your own gender, and then about the other(s). I would suggest, for the younger of you who still might be redeemable, http://www.scarleteen.com/ .
My Ex Girlfriend sure as hell had a G-spot.
Yea, but were they Swedish twins?
The women in the study, who were all pairs of identical and non-identical twins, were asked whether they had a G-spot..
And people wonder why girls typically don't major in computer science...
Any man knew that already. Let's be serious, a place we can't find by driving and poking around simply CAN NOT EXIST! Hell, even the few brave amongst as that steeped down to asking for directions couldn't find it!

If you hit the spot right, and the subject can feel it, then it is usually really obvious to the person getting stimulated. Subjective reports shouldn't be the basis of a scientific study, which is part of the problem here. From a man's point of view, you have to know the woman well enough to judge her reactions and how much you can trust her recounting of an experience. From a woman's point of view, you just have to be able to judge what physical actions cause your orgasm. These subjective things don't translate into a scientific study well, but that is plenty for an individual to figure out for him or herself if a form of sexual stimulation is legitimate or not. There are many things that you can form a reasonable individual opinion about that are hard or impossible to evaluate through the scientific method.
Only on Slashdot can a story about sex be primarily categorized as 'humor.'
It's disappointing that by this day and age there aren't enough sexually confident women for this to be cleared up by now. Based on my own experience there's an area in the vagina (not a spot) that responds better to sexual stimulation (the entire vagina responds, this area is just better). It happens to extend from about 2 to about 5 inches in on the side of my stomach.
My theory for this is as follows: due to the shape of my vagina and/or the shape of penises (circumsized?) that area has been more stimulated during sex thus causing the nerves in that area to become more dense. It happens over such a long period of time that it's difficult to remember a time when good sex didn't feel as physically awesome. But it's ridiculous to think that someone could actually be genetically missing that; or even that sex can't feel good without that buildup. It's just mental hangups for girls that prevent them from enjoying sex :( If you think about it open-mindedly most of you can relate to that hangup though -- any guys who are unwilling to let someone stimulate them anally. Supposedly anal for guys can feel really good (I dunno, I'm a girl) but most guys have mental hangups about that. If someone wants to find one specific spot though, that'd be the clitoris which is totally different.
The G-spot is not a myth.. the female orgasm, now that's the myth.
This is bullshit. I've got a g-spot and I know where to find. It's a rather fun area to play with and I don't need scientists telling me that it doesn't exist, thank you very much.
I knew it!
Of course they can't find the G-spot. They're British!
It probably went like this:
The "team", still gasping for air, after the 1800 gals: -- "We couldn't find any G-point or whatever; maybe it does not exist..."
An "impartial" observer: "What? Was the sample vicious or what?"
The team: "Maybe if we expand the sample... but that would take years! Oh, well, it's a dirty job -- but someone's got to do it."
My hat's off...
When I was 11, I made my first girlfriend come just by massaging her lower, inner thighs and knees. Fuck a G-spot. Donna C. - if you're reading this... Hi!
Pleasuring her is not my primary concern.
Surely you jest! Where's your class? Nothing less than a microbrew or an import!!!!

When you stroke and apply pressure to the "g spot", especially with the oft-cited "come here" motion, you are pushing and helping to trap blood flow in the clitoral region, just like how similar pressure would do so to a man's erection. The result is more sensation and sensitivity in the engorged clit and related area... The effectiveness of this varies by woman, but that pretty much explains it right there. It's not like a second clitoris or anything like that.
Hah! That's what they said with Wi-Fi and today it covers nearly the entire planet!
Different people have different erogenous zones... you just have to learn to live with that. Satisfying someone sexually is totally unique to them, so you'll never get a formula that works universally.
I'm also posting AC, but I, too, have never failed to find it. But yes, people are different. Some people don't like it; many do. It's there, and I'm kind of tired of reading that it isn't.
I'll file this in the same drawer as when my (female) sex ed. teacher said that "blue balls" don't exist, and were just made up by men trying to pressure women into sex. Yes, they do exist, and hurt like a mofo (but only happen when you're a young stud). However, no, that isn't a reason to have sex with a guy you don't want to have sex with. He can solve that physical problem all by himself.
...Google releases a product named GSpot.
!= evidence of absence. This is especially true when the researchers narrow their data selection down so as to exclude many who might have the most experience with this as well as those most likely to even answer.
For the sake of illustration (full color, staple through the navel of course) let us consider an equivalent form of the study coming from the 'other side'. Let's start with the hypothesis that there exists on the male's prostate a pressure sensitive region so that manipulation, primarily of direct pressure, results in sexual stimulation up to and including orgasm. The primary means of manipulation is insertion of an object or body part through the anus. Subjective reports regarding this often say this orgasm is superior to other methods of stimulation. In our investigation, let's specifically exclude gay and bisexual males, and those with multiple partners. Oh, and by the way, we researchers are all women.
Now, how many of our restricted subject pool will have experienced this, how many will admit to it, how many will admit to it to a woman? And after we gather the data which has been so selectively elicited, how long do you think we'll keep our jobs after claiming that the lack of self-report of experience in this proves that there is no such reaction to prostate manipulation, and even if there is, those men are imagining it? If, that is, we are even allowed to publish it.

And it’s more effective to stimulate is from the inside. If you know what I mean.
No. That doesn’t make you gay. If another man would be involved, then it would be gay. ^^
BTW: TMI? Pff... You’re pussies! After seeing every shocker on the net, nothing can unsettle me anymore. ;)
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.

What I've gathered from the shabby reporting around this weird research is that their research model is completely flawed.
What they have proven is that the women's perception of the G-spot does NOT depend on genetics. Fine!
So: "all women have a G-spot" is just as likely as "no woman has a G-spot". And most likely: "the activation of the G-spot depends on how it's stimulated".
They at least claim to know where it is. Amusingly, this was listed as a related story beside TFA.
Despite all the scientific evidence that the g spot doesn't exist my wife is still making me search for it.
It took a long time for me to find that spot on my GF, but when I did, it opened the floodgates. Shortly afterward, some of her friends started hitting on me. She's not my GF anymore.
I can't find the spot everytime. But I find it often enough that my "research" concludes that it exists. Not sure if every girl is "wired" so that it works.
Of course, we need a car analogy for /.
I guess it is like my old Chevy. There was this place on the starter where you could put a screwdriver and short the connection between the solenoid and positive terminal, and it would start the engine. It's not a place identified on any drawing, but anyone who has done the trick knows the spot.
Place nail here >+
I too thought it was a myth but it's not. It very much depends on the girl AND your technique. One chick I used to nail LOVED to be finger-banged. I tried to find the g-spot and every time I was close she always told me it felt odd as it gave her a sensation of wanting to pee. I figured it HAD to be it, so I pressed on and told her to just go with it, which she did..... until she ERUPTED and basically shot her load all over me! And it was a LOT! At first I thought it was pee, but ya no it wasn't... or it didn't seem like it. She went CRAZY! I also got to cum on her as well just to make it even steven. This other girl DETESTED anything but a cock going into her vaj. She wouldn't even use tampons so that was a dilemma for sure but oddly enough, she did not mind in the least a nice finger jammed into her ass while getting fucked. Chicks are weird like that.
Get a life. The spot is real. I know! Just get hold of it. It's not that hard to find... ;)
When I read about a study like this it really makes me wonder about the people who formed these conclusions. There was a similar debate in the recent past about the female orgasm being fake as well.
I'm going to be frank and if you are easily offended stop reading now.
I'm not a doctor or a sex therapist but I have a girlfriend and together we both have first hand experience with the g-spot. I am not going to debate whether it is a separate nerve bundle or the physiology or lack there of. My argument in favor of it existing is one of experience. Without getting graphic, there are several ways for a woman to reach orgasm, and dependent upon how she is stimulated, it will result in different types of orgasm. Both in intensity, and physical and biological responses such as increased secretions and the color and texture of them.
When the gspot is stimulated and induces an orgasm, the excretions that result are unlike those obtained from any other stimulation. The color is different, and it comes from a different place in the vagina. The smoking gun is that it can not be replicated by stimulating her in any other way than that spot.
My opinion is that there is a nerve bundle that stimulates a woman similar to the prostate on a man, the result of which is a thick white fluid, almost like paste being excreted. Clitoral and vaginal orgasms do not result in this type of excretion.
I'm not arguing the mechanics of the g-spot, only the results. If it were non-existant then the orgasm would be as well, since the orgasm is real the spot must be as well.
... nobody can be told where the G-Spot is, you must see it for yourself
