The term "G-Spot"
was first introduced to the public at large in the book, The
G-Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality. It
referred to a 1950 article in the International Journal of Sexology
in which Dr. Ernest Gräfenberg wrote about erotic sensitivity
along the anterior vaginal wall.
 While
many people have read or heard about Gräfenberg, few have read
his actual words. In reality, Gräfenberg only uses the word
"spot" twice and he uses it to make the opposite point to the way
it has been popularly used. He states that "there is no spot in
the female body, from which sexual desire could not be aroused.
. . . Innumerable erotogenic spots are distributed all over the
body, from where sexual satisfaction can be elicited; these are
so many that we can almost say that there is no part of the female
body which does not give sexual response, the partner has only to
find the erotogenic zones."
What has been popularly but erroneously
called the G "spot" is the area on the upper wall of the
vagina, through which the urethral or "Skene's" glands can be felt.
It is the media, which picked up the term "G-Spot" because of the
book, that has promulgated the notion of a "spot" on the anterior
wall of the vagina itself. The search for a "spot" on the
anterior wall of the vagina, as opposed to searching for the urethral
glands through the anterior wall may be contributing to the
difficulty of finding a single G "spot" and the controversy as to
whether it exists at all.
The purpose of reprinting the
following definitions of the "G-Spot" that were found on the Internet
is both to show accurate definitions and to highlight how the use
of the word "spot" has contributed to misconceptions and a lack
of understanding of the function of the urethra and its glands and
ducts as an erogenous zone.
Accurate Definitions of the
"G-Spot" Taken from the Internet
"I'll leave out the scientific
theories and just give some practical information. The female urethra
runs along the front/top side of the vagina, between it and the
pubic bone. In many women it is sensitive to firm strokes from inside
the vagina which press it up against the pubic bone. The G-spot
is supposed to be tissue surrounding the urethra, about 1 1/2 to
2 inches inside."

"G-spot
is the nickname for the GrafenberG-Spot, named after the gyn who
noted its erotic significance in the 50's. The g-spot in women is
analogous to the prostate in men (which seems to play a more direct
role in sex and procreation)."
"The g-spot is a gland located
behind the pubic bone and around the urethra. It can be massaged
or stimulated by reaching up about two finger joints distance on
the upper surface of the vagina. The area may be located by "systematic
palpation of the entire anterior wall of the vagina between the
posterior side of the pubic bone and the cervix. Two fingers are
usually employed, and it is often necessary to press deeply into
the spot to reach the spot" (Perry and Whipple, Journal of Sex Research,
1981, p 29). If already aroused, some women will find that stimulation
of this area leads to an intense orgasm which may be qualitatively
different from a clitorially centered orgasm. Stimulation of the
spot produces a variety of initial feelings: discomfort, 'feeling
need' to urinate, or a pleasurable feeling. With additional stroking
the area may begin to swell and the sensations may become more pleasureable.
Continuing may produce an intense orgasm. Like the prostate, the
g-spot can produce a fluid-like semen (but not as viscous) which
may be released on orgasm -- even known to "squirt" a couple of
centimeters." 
"For comparison, the prostate
in men is also located behind the pubic bone and around the urethra.
The two ejaculatory ducts also end here (bringing sperm from testis
via vas deferens). The prostate can be reached via the anus (as
in Doctors performing a prostate exam). Continued stimulation of
the prostate may produce intense orgasms in men. The prostate is
the gland which produces semen (other than the sperm in the semen)."

"The G-Spot is an area of spongy
tissue surrounding a woman's urethra. When a woman is sexually aroused,
this tissue swells and feels to the touch like a raised area through
the ceiling of the vagina. Some women can have orgasms with firm
stimulation of this area. And sometimes arousal and orgasm triggered
in this way are accompanied by ejaculation of fluid through the
urethra. This fluid is not urine, but is produced by glands, located
around the urethra. Although every woman has this urethral sponge
or G-Spot, not all women respond in the same way to its stimulation.
Some women find that G-Spot stimulation feels no different from
stimulation of other parts of the vaginal barrel."

"Popular term for a particularly
sensitive area within the vagina, about halfway between the pubic
bone and the cervix at the rear of the urethra; named after gynecologist
Ernst Gräfenberg (1881-1957) who first put forth a theory concerning
this area."
"When
authors Ladas, Whipple and Perry first published their book The
G-Spot, their findings were not all too convincing and the existence
of this "new" erogenic zone - especially its alleged ability to
ejaculate an orgasmic fluid was not officially recognized by most
doctors and medical scientists. Leading scientific papers still
do not publish any related research, hereby declaring it "unscientific"
(and themselves to be practically ignorant), yet a growing number
of women - and men - now know by experience ... and they do not
need to be convinced by theory. Reviewing the meanwhile available
evidence, the conclusion must be drawn that there exists no actual
G-spot in the sense in which it has been promoted, though the "discovery"
certainly has led to a better understanding of what actually goes
on. The G-spot is - in fact - merely a simple label for a rather
complicated and sophisticated part of the yoni, a part that is erotically
sensitive and which is also responsible for female ejaculation.
The label can of course be used - for simplicity's sake - but by
not considering the biological facts it does only lead to new misconceptions.
There can be no question - for example - whether or not each woman
"possesses" a G-spot: they do! The difference - whether or not she
feels it - depends on a wide variety of physical and psychological
factors and it is certainly conceivable that not every woman is
particularly sensitive in this area - just as there are worlds of
differences in the sensitivity of nipples and other "standard" erogenic
zones."
"The
area we are concerned with is actually called the urethral sponge
- an area of spongy tissue (corpus spongiosum) that also contains
clusters of nerve-endings, blood vessels, paraurethral glands and
ducts - that covers the female urethra (urinary tube) on all sides.
During sexual stimulation - by finger-pressure or certain positions
and movements of the lingam, the sponge can become engorged with
blood, swells and thus becomes distinguishable to touch. A number
of researchers - in Israel and the USA - have meanwhile established
that tissue of the G-spot area contains an enzyme that is usually
found only in the male prostatic glands. This may indicate that
we are dealing here with a "female version" of the prostatic glands,
a collection of glands which also in men is rather sensitive to
touch and pressure. The existence of these hitherto unknown glands
in this place may also explain the fluid secretions many women experience
during/after G-spot stimulation."
"To
those not yet practically acquainted with the G-spot, it presents
an interesting paradox and invites for adventurous exploration:
in order to find it, one has to stimulate it - and to do just that,
one has to find it! An early Chinese concept of the G-spot may have
been that of a Palace of Yin. Though the term is often used simply
as meaning "womb", it specifically refers to the location in the
body where the orgasmic secretion called 'moon flower medicine'
lies waiting to be released. As such, the concept may well be the
most early "discovery" of a G-spot and represents the ancients insights
into female ejaculation and the female prostatic glands."
Examples of definitions that
may be close, but are being thrown off by use of the word "spot"
"I think my G-spot is past the
urethra by at least an inch... (could be wrong...) about 2 or 2-1/2
inches or so from the entrance to my vagina."

"Traditionally
it was thought that all of the sensation available from the female
genitals derived from the lips, entrance to the vagina, and especially
the clitoris. In other words, what you see above. It was thought
that the interior of the vagina was practically numb to sexual sensation."
"Now one of those old coots who
spent the seventies sticking their noses into other people's intimate
businesses was a guy called Grafenberg, if memory serves. Dr G.
had this theory that there was an area within the vagina, which
was called the GrafenberG-Spot or G-Spot, which not only was sexually
sensitive but which could trigger bigger and better female
orgasms than the clit and the exterior bits could by themselves."
"Now
the trouble with Dr G.'s claim was that not everyone seemed to be
able to find this spot, which he reckoned was analogous with the
male prostate gland, and those that did find it didn't necessarily
like it much, and so there was some controversy, especially in the
popular press. A number of folks who did find it and did like it
eventually sussed out the mechanics of the spot, and over the last
few years there've been a number of quite good books about it."
"The story is basically this:
The G-spot is a flat area about as big as a one or two cent piece,
about two inches inside the vagina. It's just behind the pubic bone,
on the vaginal wall that is closest to the belly-button. You can
reach it with your index finger. If the genitals you're playing
with are not very aroused then you might have difficulty finding
it, or it might not feel very interesting or nice to the owner."

"I am definitely still looking
for it, even after 16 years of searching. Have trouble getting my
partner to talk about it or let me go and find it."
* * * * *
"I think it's highly likely that,
just as in men, there is a spot in the woman's vagina where nerve
endings are found in greater abundance than in other places."
* * * * *
"The
G-Spot is very real! I have a slightly above average size penis
(9"), and women have told me I was one of the few men that reached
the spot! So, I assume if you have a long enough penis you'll ring
the bell!"
* * * * *
"Yes, the G-spot is real. It feels
like a rough area about 1-3" along the top of the vagina. Digital
stimulation of this area during oral sex can produce a powerful
climax."
