The G-Spot Thickens
Well, at least the debate on whether or not the g-spot exists got a little thicker.
Thinking the G-spot exists is SO 2009. Welcome to 2010, where researchers at King’s College London claim to have to put an end to the G-spot debate stating that the collection of delightful nerves inside the vagina is non-existent. I’m sorry, but your entire g-spot toy collection will have to be given to the goodwill. You’ve been wasting your time and all those earth-shattering orgasms you’ve had — well, those weren’t real. Consider yourself Punk’d, or Grafenberg’d, if you will.
This of course would all be the case if that study actually made a lick of sense. One would assume that if they were going to finally decide if the G-spot existed that they would simply hire Rick Moranis, shrink his nebbish self, slap him inside a vagina and have him search away with his cute little glasses and a headlamp. But no, these scientists were too cheap and lazy to hire Rick Moranis! In fact, these researchers used no tools whatsoever to measure physiological response in women, instead they stuck to the survey method. By interviewing 1,804 British women between the ages of 23 and 83, all either identical or non-identical twins, they found that the results showed that identical twins (who share the same genes) often did not match in reporting g-spot sensation, and only 56% of women overall reported any such sensation.
Where the researchers truly screwed the pooch (poor dog) is by claiming that the G-spot doesn’t exist and this sensation is a matter of subjectivity. Simply because almost half of the women they surveyed claimed no sensation does not mean that the other half, let alone all women who have enjoyed g-spot stimulation, are full of shit. Don’t attempt to further put down women’s right for sexual pleasure by claiming that what gives some of them damn fine orgasms is simply a figment of their imagination. The main researcher of the study claimed that she did not want women who don’t yet have g-spot sensation to feel inadequate. This I completely agree with, there are plenty of other ways to seek and gain sexual pleasure, but don’t knock down the right to get off for others during this pursuit! How about we spend the time and resources towards educating young women about sex for pleasure, for bonding and for release. Take the time to push for healthy and safe sexual exploration so that people can find what turns them on, what gets them going and what gets them off. Surely this is a far better use of time and money than further pathologizing sexual pleasure for women. But of course this is just the ravings of a mad man.

REACTING to the g-spot is not the same as HAVING one. i have had numerous g-spot orgasms and enjoyed every second of them, but that doesnt mean that i will achieve one with every partner every time. i didnt have my first clitoral orgasm until i was 19, but my clitoris certainly existed before then.
I read this now and am fairly amazed by the logic. Let’s take a relatively less controversial hypothesis such as that most men have penises. Then the likelihood that an identical twin has one is exactly the same as that anyone else has one. There is no fathomable reason why an identical twin would be more likely to report having one if his … See Moretwin also did so. Thus the lack of any such correlation proves strictly nothing.
At most, the researchers have disproved that there is a genetic factor in whether or not a woman has a G-spot. It remains open whether all women have one or none does. Nonetheless the researchers conclude that reports have no evidential value at all. Some undefined yet presumably high proportion of women will have reported having one, and yet they conclude that it does not exist. If they asked the same question to men about transanal prostate sensitivity, they would get similar results but draw opposite conclusions.
I call this simply misogynistic bias and invite all sisters to be duly outraged by it!
Hi there,
Could you please put an email/contact details? I would really like to contact you for a programme I am involved in producing.
Thanks

Hi, first I want to say nice blog. I don’t always agree with your opinion but it’s always a interesting read.
Keep up the good blogging.
This particular blog is extremely revealing for someone whom has already been having difficulties with this situation. I have looked at quite a few resources to no avail. I will continue readingg and learning here in the hope of finally getting past this impediment.
Hello hunnie, nice blog! I genuinely treasure this article.. I was curious about this for a while now. This cleared a lot up for me! Do you have a rss feed that I can add?
i hope i have it…
I’m a 41 year old woman and althow i enjoy having sex with my housband, i’m disapointed for the fact that i’ve NEVER had an orgasm. I hear that for many women it just comes natural , but sadly it isn’t my case.
Althow i know many women have the same problem, and my comment is of no surpise to anyone, i want to do my best and find a solution.
I’ve been thinking that maybe my housband isn’t as tender and loveable as he should, but curiosity has never pushed me so far as to cheat on him with another man. Should i? Could change be a solution?
I’ve tried all sorts of pills and aphrodisiacs, but nothing so far…
If you have any advise, please reply to this comment. I’ve just started posting for a couple of days, so i’ll be checking in often
Thank you!

Potenta,
There could be a variety of reasons why you’re pre-orgasmic. Don’t feel daunted that there could be many reasons, that just means that there are plenty of fun and enjoyable ways to explore a solution. Perhaps the pressure to achieve an orgasm alone is causing a psychological block because you are anxious and want to reach your “goal.”
I would try some great g-spot vibrators, http://www.babeland.com/ has some delicious options. I also suggest trying dual clitoral and g-spot stimulation, that might send you right through the roof! =) There is also Sensate Focus , this may help you and your partner find the parts of your body that really get you going.
Another option is to sit down with a piece of paper and pen and write out all of your thoughts and feelings about your orgasm. What it means to you, why you want to achieve it, etc. Another possibility is that you actually are having orgasms and aren’t realizing it, it’s happened before.
As you can see, there are plenty of fun ways to explore! Write back and let me know if anything has helped.
It looks like you maintain a pretty fantastic blog yourself, is it in Romanian? Can you explain to me the purpose of your blog? I may write a post about it just in case I have other Romanian readers who are seeking information on sex.
Thanks!
David
vibrators is so nice.
