011124 G-SPOT ORGASM-DOES THE G-SPOT REALLY EXIST?

Can you count on more than one hand how many types of orgasms you’ve had? Not how many times you’ve orgasmed—but the type. If you’re scratching your head, we’ve got some titillating news for you; there are between four and fourteen different kinds of orgasms for people with vaginas, and how many you attempt is up to you

It’s the twenty-first century. Scientists have mapped the human genome, traveled to the farthest depths of the Marianas Trench, and we send global communications through a network of satellites hurtling through space, every single day.

Yet when it comes to human female sexual organs, most of us have a mediocre elementary education at best. Some still wonder if the G-spot even exists.

DON’T GHOST YOUR G-SPOT

In recent years, science has caught up a bit, and more accurately named the commonly known G-Spot (or Gräfenburg spot) the Clitero Urethral Vaginal Complex, or CUV, for short. The name change is important because many people who went looking for the mythical G-spot were disappointed when they couldn’t locate an exact spot with medical imaging or dissection.

To further clarify, we now know that the CUV is a network of tissues and nerves that, when stimulated, can produce pleasurable sensations, and in some people, orgasm. This “spot” is inherently linked to the clitoris, and by stimulating it, you can deliver sensation to the internal structure of the clitoris.

The clitoris and G-spot are linked because the G-spot is part of the internal continuation of the clitoris. Specifically, it’s located at the point where the bulbs of the clitoris connect at the front of the vaginal canal.

The clitoris contains more than 8,000 nerve-endings, making it the most innervated organ in the human body. This makes G-spot stimulation very pleasurable, and some people also orgasm from G-spot stimulation alone.

WHAT IF I CAN’T FIND IT?

To access this area, the traditional wisdom remains the same: insert your fingers about two inches into your vagina and angle them toward the front of your body. Gently explore this area until you feel a difference in texture on the surface of the vaginal wall. The G-spot is unique to each person in location, size, and ability to become aroused, so if you can’t find it right away, it doesn’t mean you don’t have one.

Arousal is a key factor in both finding and maximizing your CUV, so you or your partner should invest some time in foreplay before beginning your quest. Because the patch of textured tissue you’re looking for is composed mainly of erectile tissue, it will become engorged (ie: easier to find) if you are already aroused.

Dr. Emily Morse of Sex with Emily says: “The female body has a huge capacity for pleasure, more so than many women have likely experienced. It’s totally possible for you to attain your goal of a vaginal O, no matter how hopeless it might seem. Just because you haven’t found your G-spot yet does not mean it’s not there.”

CAN I REALLY HAVE A G-SPOT ORGASM?

Your ability to orgasm is not simply a matter of pushing all the right buttons. You are not an orgasm vending machine. Sexual climax and release is as much a mental and emotional feat as it is physical.

So, we encourage you to take the pressure off. Really. If you’re trying too hard to concentrate on this one thing, you won’t notice what it is that actually feels good, and that is the entire point—to discover more about your body or your partner’s body.
