The G-Spot Is Real! Or Is It?

2008_02_21_gee2.jpgItalian scientists—who really don’t get enough credit for the brave work they do—using a lot of nerdy things like urethrovaginal ultrasounds and biochemical markers have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the mythical Gräfenberg spot, birthplace of mindblowing female pleasure and soul-crushing male frustration, does in fact exist! Hurrah! Except … maybe they didn’t really prove anything.

The researchers determined that there were structural anatomical differences between a group of women that experiences orgasmic sex and another that doesn’t, that these differences could be the key to their “release,” and that someday doctors could actually perform a test to see if you too have these magic powers.

On the other hand, some say that they’re full of it—that these anatomical differences may mean nothing; having or not having g-spot does not make or break the ability to orgasm; and that the whole study (which involved a whopping 20 women) was highly flawed. In other words: If they’re trying to get women off, maybe they just aren’t doing it right. After carefully weighing the evidence, our conclusion is that all this book learnin’ is hard!

    If we all start out as women to begin with, and women have a paraurethral sponge, but we don’t because it turns into a prostate, then women without a doubt have a g-spot.

    The G-spot is so 20th century. More improtant is the U-spot which is a very sensitive cluster of nerves right above the clitoris. Massage it and orgasms will happen!

    Where the hell can you sign up for this type of experiment? I’ve got a vagina. I’ve got a clitoris. I think I have a g-spot. I’m open to letting some stranger in a lab coat try to get me off. Sounds hot.

    Try your local university or medical school. If someone is doing reasearch in human sexuality, then I am sure they would be happy to have a willing participant.
