Do you think there is actually a G Spot?

If you have ever been on the streets of Twitter when female sexual pleasure is trending, one of the most common arguments is about the G spot. Does it exist? Or is it as real as the mythical unicorn?

Well, we can put the argument to rest. The G-spot exists. It is part of a female’s reproductive anatomy. The Gräfenberg spot, also known as the G spot, is an area that can be found on the upper wall of the vagina. By the way, the parts of the female reproductive anatomy that you can see outside the body are the vulva, not the vagina. The vagina is the continuation of the vulva into a female’s body. For some women, stimulating this highly sensitive area with the penis, tongue, fingers, and/or sex toys can make them feel aroused. Some women also produce more lubrication and can experience orgasms similar to when the clitoris is stimulated!

Finding the G spot can be pretty easy. The G spot can be found 1–2 inches inside the upper vaginal wall. The spot area can feel bumpy, rough, or spongy. It may also not feel particularly different from other areas of the vagina. One surefire way to know you have found the G spot is the sensation you/your partner feels when that area is touched. If you are using your finger to find the G spot, try feeling the area using a “come here” motion towards the upper area of the vagina. You can also try curved sex toys modelled to hit that area.

The G spot can also be a bit more difficult for others to find. It’s totally okay if you and/or your partner cannot find the G spot on the 1st, 3rd, or even 5th try. Our bodies are different, and navigating them can vary as well. You can try going a little upper or lower. You can also try adding a bit more pressure when stroking the area, changing the speed, or using a different position, such as squatting instead of lying down.

Because our bodies are different, it is normal if you/your partner do not find stimulating the G spot pleasurable. It’s just like how not all women orgasm from penetrative sex. Take time to explore other areas of the body that can bring sexual pleasure.

Remember that sex is only as good as the amount of pleasure you give and/or receive, irrespective of the G spot!
