The G-spot Guide
The G-spotDuring sexual intercourse, the vagina can feel and translate sexual pleasure. The concentration of the nerve endings that lie close to the entrance of a woman's vagina can provide pleasurable sensation during sexual activity, when stimulated in a way that the particular woman enjoys. Research has found that portions of the clitoris extend into the vulva and vagina. Inside the vagina is a pleasure zone called the G-spot which can provide women with more intense orgasms as well as multiple orgasms. The G-spot: What is it?The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot was discovered by Ernst Gräfenberg a German gynecologist who first described it as “an erotic zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra that would swell during sexual stimulation.” The area the G-spot occupies is called the urethral sponge and it is tissue that surrounds the urethra (the tube we pee out of) that swells with fluid during sexual arousal. It is associated with the prostate gland in men and is made up of a complex system of erectile tissue, secretion glands (the Skene’s gland), the internal pelvic nerve and muscles that engage with one another during your arousal cycle. In most women it is sensitive to pressure and stimulation which can lead to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms. The existence of a G-spot has been widely accepted and most popular sexology books treat it as fact. In one study of female ejaculation, 84% of the approximately 1300 professional women who responded reported a sensitive area in the vagina, and this was correlated with those who also reported ejaculation.Where is the G-spot?The G-spot has remained elusive in the past because in its sexually un-stimulated state, it is relatively small and difficult to locate, especially since you can’t see it like the clitoris. It can be found inside the vagina about 1-2 inches deep with your fingers by feeling around the front wall or roof of the vagina, just behind the pelvic bone. There, a wrinkly, prune-like tissue (the urethral sponge) will swell with fluid when aroused via firm, deep pressure, thus making it noticeable to touch. How do I find it?The best way to find the G-spot is through sexual play and experimentation with your partner or by yourself. When exploring solo make sure to get into a comfortable position on your bed or in a comfy chair, half-sitting with you back curled, your thighs apart, and your knees bent up towards you, so you can easily reach it. Since it only reveals itself when women are very turned-on, other forms of sexual stimulation and foreplay are encouraged before-hand. Once you become very aroused, you or your partner may then explore the internal vaginal wall (1-2 inches deep) and find the erectile tissue that will feel bumpy and more swollen than the surrounding smooth tissue. It is best to use your fingers for exploration at first by inserting 1-2 fingers and curling them in a “come-hither” motion that strokes the G-spot area. If you have long nails it is best to trim them short before exploration to avoid scratching the delicate inner tissues, or wear gloves. In some women, the G-spot can be as large around as a small apricot, but in others it may be as small as a cherry. You'll know when you hit the G-spot by the distinctive sensation it creates. Stimulating it may give you a rush of pleasure, or make you want to pee. How do I stimulate it?Every woman response to sexual stimulation and sensitivity is different. Sensitivity may also vary at different times of the month. Just like some women enjoy direct stimulation to the clitoris while others do not, the same goes for the G-spot. The best way to find out how to stimulate it is to explore what feels good to you. To begin with, make sure you are already sexually stimulated by other means of foreplay. Then, try stroking the G-spot in the “come hither” motion. This will tickle the G-spot and start to bring it to arousal. Try different types of strokes and varying types of pressure to see what feels best. Circular or back and forth stroking feels good to most women. Some women enjoy vigorous penetration and will thrust their pelvis up to meet and position the thrusts to their best advantage. Usually, most women find that a deep, firm pressure is needed to arouse the G-spot. Some women will prefer stimulation around the G-spot, but not directly upon it. You can also use various sex toys that are designed especially for G-spot stimulation [see sex toys section for more information on G-spot toys]. The strength of a woman’s PC muscles is directly related to her ability to reach orgasm through intercourse; therefore stronger PC muscles will promote stronger G-spot orgasms, and easier arousal of this zone. What does it feel like?Again, sexual response will be different in every woman. The G-spot is not a magic button that can be pressed and simply produce mind-blowing orgasms (at least in most women). Some women will feel little or nothing. Others may feel uncomfortable like they have to pee. Many women feel a powerful urge to "bear down", same sensation of pushing when delivering a baby. Still, some will experience deep, intense orgasms that are distinctly different to clitoral orgasms altogether. Stages of arousal will vary from woman to woman and will depend on many factors including:
The G-spot and OrgasmOften during stimulation, the G-spot will become increasingly sensitive and many women feel a building euphoria and elevated arousal. Some women will enjoy deep, firm thrusting, while others may want to use clitoral stimulation to enhance the G-spot experience. As this euphoric sensation and the sexual energy of climax continues, you may feel as though you are going to burst. This is the time to let yourself plunge over the edge of sexual ecstasy and experience a G-spot orgasm. Some G-spot orgasms with feel like a roar of sexual energy that is experienced as a deep, full-body quaking and total sexual release. Others are like a rippling effect that sends waves of pleasure tingling through you. G-spot orgasms can last longer than clitoral orgasms, with longer, deeper contractions and/or multiple contractions. Many women note that a G-spot orgasm comes after a series of smaller orgasms, when they are at the ultimate peak of arousal. To some women, G-spot orgasms are more powerful than any other type they have ever experienced. Not all women will experience female ejaculation (or notice it) with G-spot orgasm and ejaculation may not happen every time. All women have a Skene’s gland however and are capable of ejaculation. The G-spot and Female EjaculationTo some women, the G-spot is an erogenous zone that offers intense sexual pleasure and can lead to female ejaculation. Most women will feel the urge to pee when their G-spot is stimulated. As previously noted, this is because the G-spot is analogous to the male prostate and ejaculation in men. Women have what is called the Skene’s gland, which is like the male prostate and may be responsible for female ejaculation. Female ejaculate comes from these glands and is expelled from two paraurethral ducts on either side of the urethra, or directly through the urethra. G-spot arousal may feel like a building of pressure as the G-spot and area swells with blood and fluid. This can be very unsettling at first and may make you want to abandon your mission. Some women may try to suppress their sexual response to avoid ejaculating. However, once you get over this strange sensation and allow it to simply happen, you will most likely enjoy a G-spot orgasm and perhaps even female ejaculation. It is therefore a good idea to empty your bladder before experimenting and to put a towel or plastic sheet under you to avoid any mess. Some people in the medical community have denied the fact that both G-spot orgasms and female ejaculations do occur and have mistaken female squirting as urinary incontinence. However, there have been conclusive studies that prove the existence of both the G-spot and female ejaculation. Most women cannot ejaculate on command. For many women, G-spot ejaculation the first time is often a fluke and comes as a complete surprise. Some women only experience a few drops to a teaspoon of ejaculate fluid, while others may experience up to two quarts of fluid along with explosive gushes and squirting, sometimes up to several feet. Sometimes the ejaculation will occur multiple times during orgasm as well. 54-60% (reportedly) of women have experienced emission of fluid at orgasm. Also, some women can ejaculate with clitoral stimulation only or no stimulation what-so-ever. Like sexual preferences, every woman’s response to G-spot stimulation is different. When trying to experience ejaculation, try to relax your body and your PC muscles. Relaxing will allow you to go with the flow and peak over the edge to orgasm. Sexologist Annie Sprinkle maintains that deep breathing, clenching and unclenching the PC muscles, as well as loud moaning will allow you to experience a deeper body orgasm and along with G-spot stimulation brings about ejaculation more easily. If you feel the urge to ejaculate, pushing out with the PC muscles may help to make you squirt as well. It is also important to maintain good PC health. Your PC muscles are what support your pelvis. You can feel them by stopping your urine midstream. You can keep you PC muscles healthy and strong by doing regular kegel exercises with orgasmic or benwa balls. Strong PC muscles aid in G-spot arousal, orgasm and female ejaculation. Female ejaculate is not pee either. Analysis of female ejaculate has shown that it is distinct from urine and contains high levels of the enzyme prostatic acid phosphatase (PSA), glucose and fructose (all found in the prostate fluid of semen). Female ejaculate does not look, smell or taste like urine. It has the same consistency as water and is a clear or milky, usually odorless (although sometimes musky) smelling fluid that can be slightly sweet due to the sugar (glucose/fructose) content and alkaline. As with semen, female ejaculate will smell and taste different depending on the person and what you eat. Health ConcernsSometimes stimulating the G-spot can lead to negative effects in some women. The G-spot is a highly sensitive area and some women can experience irritation, pain or infection. This can be especially true of virgins or women with tense PC muscles. To avoid infection and irritation women should drink plenty of water before and after G-spot stimulation, especially if prone to urinary tract infections. Also, emptying the bladder before and after is also important. Cranberry juice is also effective in fighting the bacteria that causes infections. Be careful of how much pressure you apply during stimulation and work up to it slowly. Make sure to use only clean toys and clean hands or gloves. Make sure that fingernails are cut short to avoid breaking the skin. Play safe and have fun. |
