What is the G-Spot?

The G-spot, or Gräfenberg Spot, named after the German gynecologist who first “discovered” it, is actually an area of spongy erectile tissue located inside the vagina also referred to as the periurethral sponge. The periurethral sponge surrounds the urethral opening, which is where urine exits the body, and is located approximately 1 to 2 inches inside the vagina along the front wall (towards the bellybutton).

For some women, prolonged stimulation of the G-spot can result in orgasm, and sometimes female ejaculation. However, there are many women for whom prolonged or even minimal pressure to the G-spot can feel uncomfortable or irritating and others for whom it feels much the same as other types of vaginal stimulation. While there is no magic button on a woman’s body that will instantly produce orgasms, women who do respond positively to G-spot stimulation have described their orgasms as “full-bodied” and “mind-blowing” and definitely worth a try.

How can I find it?
Many people find it easier to have someone else locate their G-spot. To locate the G-spot, apply lube to your fingers (usually the index and middle fingers work fine) and insert them into the vagina, making a “come hither” motion so that your fingers are pressing towards her navel. If the receiving partner is on her back, curl your fingers upwards. If she’s on her stomach or hands and knees, curl your fingers down.

The G-spot is usually easier to find when a woman is aroused, since this causes the spongy tissue to swell, making the G-spot area somewhat firmer than the surrounding vaginal walls. If you are having trouble locating the area with your fingers, you can try a toy that is specifically designed for G-spot. Since the G-spot is generally much more responsive to pressure than light touches, these toys have a pronounced curve which makes them easier to angle against or press agains the G-spot. In addition, many women find that vibrators and dildos make solo G-spot stimulation much easier.

When the G-spot is stimulated, some women may initially feel an urge to urinate since the periurethral sponge presses against the urethra, but this should lessen after a few seconds. If this sensation makes you nervous, try urinating prior to getting started.

What About G-spot Toys?
Toys curved to reach the front wall of the vagina are especially suited for G-spot stimulation.
