The G-spot, or Grafenberg’s zone, is a particularly sensitive area located below the surface of the vagina, on the wall towards the front of the body. However, its location varies among women. Scientists have found that in some women the sensitivity is stronger in the upper vaginal wall. Since the G-spot is located below the surface of the vaginal wall, it must be stimulated indirectly. Many women report an urge to urinate upon initial stimulation. Prolonged stimulation, however, turns out to be very pleasant. Named after the German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, who first wrote about it, the G-spot, along with its existence and location, are topics of wide debate and conflicting claims. Grafenberg himself identified the sensitive zone as the point where the urethra comes closest to the vaginal wall. Other researchers are of the opinion that its location is slightly higher in the vagina. Israeli sexologist Dr. Zvi Hoch claims that the entire front wall of the vagina, not just a small area, is full of nerve endings that can lead to strong arousal when stimulated. There are also scientists who claim that the G-spot does not exist in all women. NEWS_MORE_BOX Since the function of orgasm in women is strictly individual, i.e. they reach orgasm differently—whether or not the G-spot is stimulated, its location also varies, explains sexologist Dr. Drew Pinsky. He also adds that whether a woman will reach orgasm as a result of oral sex and direct clitoral stimulation, or through penetration and primary stimulation, or through intervaginal mechanisms such as the G-spot, is determined by inherited genes.
