In 1881 if you had a poor sexual desire, stress and a couple of other symptoms you would have been diagnosed with Female Hysteria that was treated with the rubbing/stimulation of the G-spot. Female hysteria was a medical diagnosis for hundreds of years until the beginning of the 20th century.
Though once a popular diagnosis, it is no longer a recognized entity in the medical world. At that time female hysteria was said to be caused in part by sexual frustration. Doctors then would massage an area in the anterior part of the vagina to treat the ailment.
Those who opposed to the doctor doing this would opt to do it on themselves at home using a penis-like instrument (given to them) to massage the outer anterior wall of their vagina. The target often times was the paraurethral gland otherwise known as the female prostate or the Skene’s gland.
This instrument was later improved on and called a vibrator. While female hysteria is no longer a recognized disease in medicine, the vibrator is still very much around and that area of the vagina that was stimulated then is still a bone of contention today as the key to female ejaculation. That area is the famous G-spot.
The G-spot named after German gynecologist Grafenberg is supposedly about 6-7cm up the front or anterior wall of the vagina. Stimulation of this area is said to lead to strong arousals, powerful orgasms, and ejaculations.
There are strong believers as well as non-believers in the existence of the G-spot.
There are studies that prove that the existence of the G-spot is subjective and many who believe that it exists only do so on ‘hearsay’ basis which isn’t scientific. They argue that these ‘facts’ are not reproducible in all women and agreeing to its existence may make some women think they have a deficiency of some sort which is clearly not the case. Studies done on identical twins who share the same genes were not consistent. Since identical twins share the same genes, if one of the twins reports having a G-spot it should be expected that the other twin will report the same but this was not the case.
Those who believe it exists say there are studies using ultrasound scans to scan the anterior part of the vagina during sex in volunteer couples that prove the area exists. Some of the studies showed that stimulation of the anterior vaginal wall led to an increase in the size of up to 50% in the G-spot in response to the stimulation. They also argue that some studies do show that a significant number of women say they actually ejaculate (release fluid) at the time they climax. This they say supports their theory that the para-urethral glands (Skene glands) which are the female equivalent of the prostate gland is a key player in these women’s sexual experience. The Skene glands are around the G-spot.
The middle ground I believe are those who argue that the G-spot is an extension of the clitoris. The clitoris without a doubt is the cause of most female orgasms so by extension they argue that massaging the G-spot will give you a similar result as massaging the clitoris. The proponents of this theory also argue that the said area where the G-spot is situated is thicker than surrounding vaginal tissue reinforcing the point that it is indeed part of the clitoris extending up to the vagina.
One thing is for sure, not everybody has ‘experienced the G-spot’ but equally important is the fact that not every woman has searched for the G-spot.
Does it exist or not? It is a question only you can answer and for yourself too!
