Everything about Gr Fenberg Spot totally explained

The Gräfenberg spot, or G-spot, is a female erogenous zone which when stimulated leads to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms.

Origin and popularity of the term

The term "G-spot" was coined by Addiego et al. in 1981..

Location of the spot

The purported location of the G-spot has changed over time. Two primary methods have been used to attempt to locate it:
Another study examined eleven women in an attempt to locate the spot under laboratory conditions. Researchers attempted to find the G-spot by “palpating the entire vagina in a clockwise fashion.” Using this technique the researchers reported discovering that four of the women had highly sensitive areas on the anterior vaginal wall.

Public belief

Despite professional and scientific criticism and skepticism, the G-spot, as a concept, has been widely accepted by the public. One study reports that 84 percent of women believe that there's a “highly sensitive area” in the vagina. Most popular sexology books treat the G-spot as real.

Scientific evidence

Subsequent empirical investigations of the G-spot have yielded variable results. G-spot proponents are criticized for placing too much credence upon anecdotal evidence from women.. A recent ultrasonography study reported that women who claimed to experience vaginal orgasm were statistically more likely to have thicker tissue in the anterior vaginal wall.

The Skene's Glands

Other researchers have attempted to locate the G-spot by building on the claim that G-spot stimulation leads to female ejaculation. Tepper hypothesized that non-urine female ejaculate originated from the female paraurethral glands, or Skene's gland. In their study they examined tissue from 18 patients and demonstrated that 15 showed prostate-specific antigens.
   More recent studies have backed up this finding, leading some to call the Skene's glands the female prostate. This finding has been used to claim that the G-spot is actually a system of glands and ducts that surround the urethra. This system is located within the anterior (front) wall of the vagina, about one centimeter from the surface and one third to one-half the way in from the vaginal opening.
   In July 2002, Emmanuele Jannini of the University of Aquila, Italy discovered PDE5 activity in the area of the G-spot and speculated that the absence of G-spot orgasms is connected to the lack of Skene's glands in some women. In such women, concentrations of PDE5 were much lower.
   However, most researchers feel that the connection between the Skene's Gland and the G-spot is weak. The Skene's Gland doesn't seem to have receptors for touch stimulation and no direct evidence for its involvement has been forthcoming.
   Strong evidence for the existence of the G Spot was reported by Ian Sample, science correspondent for the British newspaper The Guardian, in the Thursday February 21 2008 edition. The following is a quote from that newspaper article: "Doctors claim to have found the first compelling evidence that the G spot exists, but say not all women appear to have one. Ultrasound scans revealed clear anatomical differences between women who said they experienced vaginal orgasms and a group of women who did not. The scans identified a region of thicker tissue where the G spot was rumoured to be lurking, which wasn't visible in the women who had never had a vaginal orgasm.
   Doctors at the University of L'Aquila in Italy, where the study was conducted, say the findings make it possible for women to have a rapid test to confirm whether or not they've a G spot.
   The location, and even existence, of the G spot has been hotly contested in medical circles. While doctors know that female sexual anatomy varies substantially, until now there has been no solid evidence to link those differences to a woman's sexual responses.
   "For the first time, it's possible to determine by a simple, rapid and inexpensive method if a woman has a G spot or not," Dr Emmanuele Jannini told New Scientist magazine.
   The G spot is only thought to affect a woman's ability to have vaginal orgasms, so if women don't have one "they can still have a normal orgasm through stimulation of the clitoris," Jannini said.

Relation with the urethral sponge

Some claim that the urethral sponge is the same as the G-spot.
