THE TRUTH ABOUT
THE G-SPOT
THE MOTHER OF THE GSPOT TURNED TO
COSMOPOLITAN TO CLEAR UP THE DEBATE
ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE
When sex researcher Beverly Whipple
introduced the G-spot (that two-inch
area two inches inside the front wall
of the vagina that’s said to be linked
to female ejaculation and orgasm) to
the public in her 1982 book The G
Spot: And Other Discoveries About
Human Sexuality, madness ensued.
For decades, researchers argued it
just doesn’t exist. A 2012 study in the
Journal of Medicine concluded there
is no distinct body part, like an arm or
a spleen, that makes up the G-spot.
Another study argued that “the vagina
has no anatomical structure that can
cause orgasm.”
Now, Whipple reveals to Cosmo,
“if I could do it over again, I would call
it the G-area”, because many tissues
and nerves, like the Skene’s glands
(called the female prostate) and the
legs of the clitoris, which extend into
the body, are smushed together in a
tiny space. So G-spot orgasms, clitoral
orgasms... they’re all connected. So
free yourself from the pressure to find
one elusive spot, and enjoy all of the
orgasmic possibilities. >SEX O’CLOCK NEWS39%
