Often referring to the G spot as an extremely sensitive erogenous area within the vagina, believers claim its stimulation can lead to immense sexual satisfaction, and possibly an orgasm. While many women affirm the pleasure it brings, scientists remain skeptical about the actual existence of this mythical G spot. Studies on the topic both affirm and deny its existence.

The location of the G spot

A prevalent question among those exploring their sexuality is the location of the elusive G spot. It proves difficult to locate since, as some scientists assert, not every woman might possess it. If it does exist, it is generally found within the anterior wall of the vagina, roughly 5 centimeters above the entrance, measuring about 2 centimeters in size.

The most effective methods to locate the G spot involve the use of the index finger and the tongue. The greatest success is achieved during sexual arousal, as the erogenous zone expands, making it easier to spot.

However, attempting to locate the G spot with an erect penis is not recommended. It's far too firm, fairly rigid and unfortunately too stationary to achieve pleasure.

Scientists' opinions are divided

There remains a debate over the existence of the G spot. Existing research fails to provide definitive evidence supporting the existence of such a spot.

In 2010, researchers at King's College, London, conducted a study on two thousand women. Unsuccessful in locating the G-spot in any of these individuals, they concluded that the highly erogenous area, purported to provide immense pleasure, is unlikely to exist.

In contrast, a 2012 publication in the "Journal of Sexual Medicine" discussed the identification of the G spot. Dr. Adam Ostrzeński, the head of the Institute of Gynaecology in St. Petersburg, Florida, examined the anterior wall of the vagina of an 83-year-old woman's cadaver. He identified the G spot thanks to a well-defined, sac-like structure on the dorsal perineum membrane.
