Scientists' row over G spot nears a climax

[snopes]

After more than half a century of debate and bedroom exploration, a row about the location of the fabled G spot may be settled at last.

I'll be interested to hear about more research on this. I've never been able to find my G-Spot, and though I enjoy penetrative sex I don't orgasm from it.

Women who do not have a G spot should not despair, according to the New Scientist report.

"They can still have a normal orgasm through stimulation of the clitoris," said Jannini.

Way ahead of ya, buddy

Interesting...and I enjoy the incredibly obvious yet still fun pun in the title.

Glad to see you spotted it?

Ok,

Does that quote mean a g-spot orgasm is not normal? (I know, I know: it's just a sloppy use of words in an off-the-cuff remark).

when stimulated, gives a woman a powerful orgasm.

Yes, it does.

The answer, according to Italian researcher Emmanuele Jannini, is that, yes, the G spot does exist, but only among those women who are lucky enough to possess it, New Scientist reports.

They could have just asked me and I would have told them it exists and where mine is located. I think they have the location down now though because what they determined in the article seems about right.

It's normal for me if I am with a man that doesn't mind a little guidance. Believe me, it is way more powerful than a clitoral orgasm. I have had both types of orgasm. Guess which one I prefer.

Some experts question whether what Jannini calls the G spot is a distinct structure or the internal part of the clitoris, whose size is highly variable.

"Whose?" Wow, I had no idea the clitoris had attained personhood. This changes everything.

Haven't you ever heard of it as the 'little man in the boat'?

I don't have vaginal-only orgasms, but when my husband touches the spot where the G-spot is supposed while I am masturbating, I definitely get a different kind of orgasm.

That's why I found the article title kinda funny.

Well I never heard it quite as "boat". I heard it described as "little man in the canoe". It makes for an interesting rhyme about female anatomy.

I know where mine is and yes, it is very very good. Only my current partner has known what to do with it though. Unless we are deliberately having only a very quick quickie it's impossible for me to not orgasm, even if we only have vanilla, missionary sex.

Apprantly I am the only one who had images of pirates, treasure maps, and buried treasure. Well I guess not all islands have buried treasure.

What?

[Missie]

TMI TIME! Hooray!

This also raises questions about so-called female ejaculations.

I can have those, but didn't find them to be anything particularly special for the amount of work it took and the amount of mess left to clean up afterwards. Clitoral orgasms are much more pleasurable for me, and if the 'ejaculations' did indeed come from my G-spot, if indeed I have one, I can only get them from masturbating or vaginal sex in a really specific position (although I've never gone all the way to ejaculation through sex because, as I said, I don't feel them to be worth the effort).

That aside, I get very small orgasms from regular sex, but I get several of them (generally at least 3) unless it's incredibly quick. I'm guessing I must have a G-spot but it doesn't work quite properly, or is only barely sensitive enough for me to get orgasms from it.

[Pudding Crawl]

For clarification: are we using the terms 'clitoral' and 'vaginal orgasm' in the Freudian sense, i.e. two different types of process, or as shorthand for 'orgasm resulting from stimulation of'?

[missy_pooh_1997]

Why don't we all just get the "G shot" and call it a day.

[Toys For Big Boys]

I don't know if I have one.

I'm off to find a map and a torch...

It should be noted for us Americans that when a Brit says 'torch' s/he means a flashlight, not one of those flaming things the villagers carry to light the way to kill the monster.

Actually, unless I'm being a total , I think we call "one of those flaming things" a torch too (?)
