GOOD and bad news girls, the elusive G-spot really does exist ... but we don't all have one. Several years ago, a university in Italy reckon they’ve proved the pleasure centre's existence, and can tell if a woman has one. Tests showed women who felt confident they had a G-spot had thicker tissue in their internal walls than those who weren't sure. The first batch of women often climaxed through penetrative sex while the not-sures struggled to. But G or no G, the study shows we’re all fascinated by this secret sexy zone.
Spice up on your G-spot knowledge with our top ten facts:
1) The G-spot was named after the German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, the first person to describe it in1944.
2) In tantric sex the G-spot is called ‘the sacred spot’ and is thought to be a woman’s emotional sexual centre.
3) The G-spot isn’t a spot. It’s an area on the front wall of the vagina about 1-2 inches inside and is said to increase in size with stimulation.
4) If you’re not turned on, your G-spot may only be as big as a pea.
5) A theory states that the G-spot is similar to the male prostate, due to a missing Y chromosome developing in the female foetus.
6) Some researchers think women ejaculate when their G-spot is pleasured through their Skene's glands.
7) The G-spot is described as feeling a bit like a walnut.
8) According to one study, 84 per cent of women think there’s a highly sensitive area in the vagina.
9) Women respond to their G-spot differently – for some it brings a deep, intense orgasm but it can make others need to pee!
10) People often say massaging the G-spot leads to multiple orgasms, but this can be achieved by clitoral stimulation too.
Can’t find your G-spot? No worries.
Just follow our G-free passion pointers from Sex and Relationship Expert Dr. Petra Boynton.
1) "Women are all different physiologically so celebrate it!" says Petra, "Don’t worry if you don’t think you’re not having a vaginal orgasm – you’re not dysfunctional."
2) "Explore your body beyond the G-spot. Areas like your clitoris, nipples, earlobes and toes will all make you feel good and often they feel better if you stimulate them together."
3) "To have a great orgasm, think about things that turn you on like erotica or fantasies. Masturbate on your own with plenty of clitoral stimulation and work out what feels good – discover what levels of touch, pressure and speed you like."
4) "Remember that there are other pleasurable areas of the vagina, not just the front wall or G-spot area. The back, side and outer wall of the vagina also feel good."
