G-Spots and Female Ejaculation
The bestseller The G-spot was published in 1982 based on research done in the 1940s. And here we all are: still arguing about what the G-spot is, what the G-spot isn't, whether the G-spot can make women ejaculate, if so, how - and does ejaculating really just mean you've accidentally wet yourself?
Well, things have firmed up in the last few years (ahem), and newer G-spot research is a lot clearer and more specific than ever before. Best of all, the stumbling block most of us (myself definitely included) battled with - that not all women had one - has been solved. Newer research suggests everyone does have this 'hot spot' but the amount of tissue and number of nerve endings varies from woman to woman. That explains why our reactions to it range from massively enthusiastic to decidedly lukewarm.
So where is said G-spot?
Most people know their urethra: it's the tube you pee out of, right? Well, there's spongy tissue wrapped around the urethra that's erectile, meaning that it swells when blood fills it. The part of the 'urethral sponge' you can feel through the top wall of the vagina is, ladies and gentleman, the G-spot (the definition most people now seem to agree on anyway).
It's part of the same network of nerve endings that makes up the hidden part of the clitoris, and it's also sometimes referred to as the female prostate (which makes sense, given that the male prostate is the male 'G-spot').
The urethral sponge tissue also contains between 30 and 40 paraurethral glands and ducts (para just means 'near'). These glands are thought to be responsible for the production of the fluid some females ejaculate. During ejaculation, this fluid flows from the glands through the ducts into the urethra before finally making its escape out of the body.
How do I find my G-spot?
It's not difficult to find, just a bit awkward. Slide a finger inside your vagina, palm facing up, as if you're trying to touch your tummy. Next, hook it around slightly forward. Aim about two to three inches inside and feel for slightly ridged tissue on the front wall; it almost feels like a softer version of the front of the roof of your mouth.
The G-spot responds best to a 'come here' motion, where you pull your fingers over the area. Pay attention to what you're feeling, as well as what you're feeling for. It may feel more sensitive than other areas. Experiment with different strokes, and don't be scared to use firm, hard pressure: It's not as skittish as the touchy clitoris. The more aroused you are, the more the area will swell and the easier it will be to feel.
There's a reason why women tend to stick to clitoral orgasms during masturbation. To give yourself a G-spot orgasm, you have to twist your arm into a weird position and it's not exactly comfy. Which is why if you really want to give it a go, it's a good idea to cheat. (Keep reading and I'll tell you how!)
