Gynaecological UFO

Scientists find the G spot but not all women have it

By Jeremy Laurance, Health Editor

For decades sceptics have dismissed talk of the female G spot as a sort of gynaecological UFO – much searched for, much discussed, but unverified by objective means.

Now scientists believe they have finally obtained the first evidence of its existence – but only in some lucky women.

The G spot is said to confer the capacity for orgasms on its fortunate possessers. Many writers suggested it was a small hypersensitive area of the vagina about three quarters of the way up the anterior wall.

Italian researchers, who used ultrasound scans to explore inside the vaginas of 20 women, say they have found a thickened area of tissue in those who said they had experienced vaginal orgasms – but not in those who had not.

"For the first time it is possible to determine by a simple, rapid and inexpensive method if a woman has a G spot or not," Emmanuele Jannini, from the University of L'Aquila, told New Scientist.

The finding is unlikely to settle the issue. Other researchers queued up to offer their interpretations of the results, suggesting the thickened tissue could be the internal part of the clitoris, or that those who had learnt to experience orgasms through practice had altered their anatomy.

Dr Jannini plans larger studies to help women decide whether to give up the hunt – or tell their partners to try harder.

So you were the guffawing knuckledragger in lookout123's office breakroom?

I found my g-spot between my f-spot and my h-spot. Oh, no...that was Sesame Street. Never mind.

G-spot...me spot. I don't care what they call it:p . It works and I am happy, happy for that.

First, male-oriented Amer/Puritan science treat menopause and pregnancy as diseases, now Persistent Arousal Sexual Syndrome? I call it blessed. Overstimulation of the GSpot I say.

Dearmon, Austin, Lauren and Emily searched for years to find out what was wrong but their doctors couldn't help them.
"I thought I was alone in this," Dearmon said. "And this is after seeing every kind of doctor imaginable, gynecologist, psychologist, psychiatrist — you know, everything. And none had ever heard of anything."
The medical consultations were not only confusing but, at times, condescending. Dearmon said one of her doctors told her to get a hobby, and another doctor suggested she become a lesbian.

hee hee. "Get a hobby." Ok doc!!!

The doctors should have said:
Take two of these and call me in the morning.

I thought that that is what made people nymphomaniacs. I thought they were always turned on for some reason or the other. hmmm...

I totally thought this was going to be the title of an "onion" article. I mean c'mon- "Scientists find G spots........."

TheMercenary · 02-22-2008, 07:24 PM

I'm no scientist and I can find it if you got one. Actually pretty damm easy to find.

ROTFLMAO! Oh, god, that message was so funny!

Wow, can you imagine the self help book for that?

After all the supermarket tabloids have been touting the G-spot for so long, I'm glad someone has spoken up to say not all women have one. Think of all the women who have felt inadequate because they couldn't find theirs.

Elspode · 02-24-2008, 11:14 PM

Not to mention how inadequate I've felt when *I* couldn't find one. Fortunately, when I do find 'em, the results usually border on astounding.

Introduction. The physiology and anatomy of female sexual function are poorly understood. The differences in sexual function among women may be partly attributed to anatomical factors. Aim. The purpose of this study was to use ultrasonography to evaluate the anatomical variability of the urethrovaginal space in women with and without vaginal orgasm. Methods. Twenty healthy, neurologically intact volunteers were recruited from a population of women who were a part of a previous published study. All women underwent a complete urodynamic evaluation and those with clinical and urodynamic urinary incontinence, idiopathic detrusor overactivity, or micturition disorders, as well as postmenopausal women and those with sexual dysfunction were excluded. The reported experience of vaginal orgasm was investigated. Main Outcome Measure. The urethrovaginal space thickness as measured by ultrasound was chosen as the indicator of urogenital anatomical variability. Designated evaluators carried out the measurements in a blinded fashion. Results. The urethrovaginal space and distal, middle, and proximal urethrovaginal segments were thinner in women without vaginal orgasm. A direct correlation between the presence of vaginal orgasm and the thickness of urethrovaginal space was found. Women with a thicker urethrovaginal space were more likely to experience vaginal orgasm (r = 0.884; P = 0.015). A direct and significant correlation between the thickness of each urethrovaginal segment and the presence of vaginal orgasm was found, with the best correlation observed for the distal segment (r = 0.863; P < 0.0001). Interobserver agreement between the designated evaluators was excellent (r = 0.87; P < 0.001). Conclusions. The measurement of the space within the anterior vaginal wall by ultrasonography is a simple tool to explore anatomical variability of the human clitoris-urethrovaginal complex, also known as the G-spot, which can be correlated to the ability to experience the vaginally activated orgasm.
