Does the G Spot Exist?
is the g spot really there?

Asking if the g spot exists is a little bit like asking if God exists (but without the thousands of years of bloodshed and oppression). Because there is no agreed upon definition of what “g spot” is, arguing its existence becomes futile as the skeptic may be using different definitions and criteria from the believer. So what do we know?

There are several studies published in established and respected peer-reviewed journals that are relevant to the question about whether the g spot exists. Researchers have looked at the female sexual anatomy and sexual response as a result of what could be called g spot stimulation, and discovered that there is far more going on than traditional medical texts would suggest. These researchers have found and described several structures being called the female prostate, and have observed female sexual response during stimulation of specific areas, which are commonly known as the g spot. This research (which has primarily been done by Milan Zaviacic and colleagues, and Beverley Whipple and colleagues) points to a variety of reasons why the area on the upper wall of the vagina may be highly sensitive, may produce intense sexual sensations, and may also be involved in the experience of female ejaculation.

Given that what most people mean when they say “g spot” is an area on the front wall of the vagina about 1/3 of the way up that many women like to have stimulated, I would say that yes, there is a g spot.

But the g spot definitely is not a “magic button” that is just waiting to be pressed and will bring forth mind blowing orgasms. It is just another part of the body that some people find stimulating, and others don’t.
