My first encounter with the enigmatic G-Spot was in my freshman year of college. I was chatting my gal pals and doing some in-depth sleuthing of an interaction my bestie had recently had with a new crush. He mentioned to her that he was so good, he\u2019d be able to find her G-Spot right away. This was the first of many times I would hear this: the mystery of the g-spot spoken about in hushed tones by a gaggle of embarrassed teenagers. From a young age, I learned that the conquest of the g-spot was somehow a symbolic measure for how sexually adept these young men were. That, in turn, lead me to believe that I had to find this magic button on myself, otherwise I was broken. If I couldn\u2019t find it, I was mistaken.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is shape and size of a walnut, located 5-8 centimeters up the front vaginal wall, and it feels immensely pleasurable at the slightest touch. At least, that\u2019s what I was told. I searched for it, but to no avail, and I\u2019ve heard from many women that they\u2019ve had similar (and extremely frustrating) experiences. It was Freud who introduced the notion that women have two types of orgasms. The clitoral orgasm, which he dubbed \u201cimmature\u201d, and the vaginal orgasm, which is the kind a sexually mature and well-adjusted lady would have. He asserted these things without scientific basis, but he managed to plant the seed that the orgasm one could achieve through P-in-V sex was somehow superior. The truth is, only a quarter of women experience an orgasm from penetrative sex alone. That means 75% of us are apparently doing it wrong.<\/p>\n

The G-Spot, named after German gynecologist Ernst Gr\u00e4fenberg, is supposedly the elusive erogenous zone inside the vagina that would help us to achieve such a vaginal orgasm. But does it actually exist? This has been a matter of nearly constant heated debate since the term \u201cG-Spot\u201d was coined in 1981. However recently, the topic has really come under fire with the recent study (by Puppo & Puppo1<\/sup><\/a>) in Clinical Anatomy, which states that the G-spot is a term without scientific basis and that there is no such thing as a G-spot orgasm. Instead the study argues that we should use a more inclusive term: The Female Orgasm. It promotes that all women can achieve orgasm through clitoral stimulation. This is not the only study of it\u2019s kind, with the scientific consensus being that there is no anatomical proof for the existence of the G-spot. Even Cosmo, the holy grail for G-spot guides 2<\/sup><\/a> backtracked after the release of this most recent study.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t stop women from protesting, insisting that the G-spot does exist. In an article, entitled 1 <\/sup> \u201cStop Telling Me My G-Spot Doesn\u2019t Exist\u201d, Nicola Jane says, \u201cI am getting pretty tired of experts telling me I\u2019m not having powerful orgasms\u201d. She added that \u201cThe Puppo study is just another in the long line of telling some women that their experience is all in their heads.\u201d She ends, stating that the G-spot is \u201cjust like any other physical trait\u2014it varies from person to person.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is ultimately where I land\u2014somewhere in the middle. I believe that the female sexual experience is something nuanced and beautiful. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s helpful to create a hierarchy of sexual enjoyment, but rather we should engage in a multi-faceted understanding of sexuality. Sex & sexuality are subjective experiences, and everyone is different. I am not here to tell you that your experience isn\u2019t real. If you believe Clitoral is Queen, that\u2019s fine too. The most important thing we often forget that the biggest sexual organ in your body is actually your brain, and this is especially true for women. Thinking sexy is feeling sexy. G-spot or not, either way you\u2019re equally sexy and liberated, and you can have just as much fun regardless of your particular anatomical endowment. So let\u2019s put to rest the endless quest for the magic button, and enjoy whatever it is feels best for us.<\/p>\n
