The Gräfenberg spot (usually called G-spot) is an area found behind the pubic bone of a woman. It is part of the urethal sponge. Some people believe it is a bundle of nerves in the female human reproductive system. If the area is stimulated, this can cause pleasurable sensations, female ejaculation and a strong orgasm in women.[1] Doctors who specialise in the anatomy of women say there is no anatomical evidence for the "spot".[2][3][4]

[change] Origin
The 'G-spot' was named by Addiego and others. in 1981.[5] It is named after the German gynaecologist, Ernst Gräfenberg. Gräfenberg wrote first about "The Role of Urethra in Female Orgasm" in 1950.[6][7] A book was first published about the G-spot in 1982, called "The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality" by three authors from the United States: Alice Kahn Ladas, a psychologist; Beverly Whipple, a registered nurse and sex counselor; and John D. Perry, a psychologist.[1][4]
[change] Location
The G-spot has no specific place to be found. However, there are two methods which can be used to find it:
- Levels of sexual pleasure
- When an area leading to female ejaculation is touched.
Women say that they have “deeper” orgasms when G-spots were stimulated.[5]
Scientists also tried to experiment with the vagina by touching it in certain places under experimental conditions. They found that in most cases, women had G-spots near the front of the vagina.[2]
[change] Public views
Some people, including doctors, don't believe that the G-spot exists.[2][3][4] When the book The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality was published in 1982, there was significant criticism.[7] Some people who are not doctors simply say that it is a "highly sensitive area" in the vagina.[8]
[change] Scientific views
Scientists have carried out tests trying to find the G-spot and have not found any evidence of it.[3][2][4]
