What is the G Spot

What is the G Spot?

The G-spot, like the clitoris, the vagina and the anus, is a part of every woman’s constellation of sex organs. It was named after the sex researcher Ernst Grafenberg who first wrote about its erotic potential. In 1982, the paperback bestseller, The G-Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality, by Alice Kahn Ladas, Beverly Whipple and John Perry, brought the G-spot and female ejaculation into the national spotlight. Female ejaculators who read the book understood that ejaculation is normal, and women who didn’t ejaculate became curious about it and wanted to learn.

The G-spot, also called the urethral sponge, is the tissue that wraps around the urethra and swells with fluid during sexual arousal. The urethra is the tube through which we urinate, and the vagina and the urethra run parallel to each other inside the body, like little train tracks that are very close together. As the spongy tissue around the urethra fills with fluid, the swelling pushes into the vagina, and can be felt through the vaginal wall. When women ejaculate, it’s the clear, watery fluid that has collected in this tissue that leaves a wet mark on the sheets.
