History of the G-Spot


The G stands for Grafenberg, a German gynaecologist. Back in the 1940'', when he was researching different methods of birth control, Ernst Grafenberg, assiduous and observant, discovered what he described as a bean-shaped patch of erectile tissue in the front of the wall of the vagina. It was according to his instructions, directly behind the pubic bone.
Grafenberg described this bean shaped patch as a sort of second clitoris. He claimed that when stimulated by pressure on this Spot women had what he described as a vaginal orgasm.
More recently three American authors, Ladas, Whipple and Perry have that the G-Spot is a sort of female prostate gland and it has even been argued that the spot, patch or gland secrets special fluid during orgasm, a claim which has given rise to the suggestion that women may really ejaculate when they reach a climax.
There is still some confusion about whether or not the G-Spot really exist, how it works and precisely what its function is. Gynaecologists who still haven''t identified the spot claim that to look for it would be distinctly unethical and professionally hazardous since if they found it their patients might get the wrong idea. Pathologists, who have claimed that they haven''t been able to find the bean-shaped patch when dissecting cadavers, have been told that the G-Spot atrophies in older women.
Perhaps, when it comes down to it, it''s the looking for the G-Spot that matters. Rather than finding it.
Today we see there are lots of people who talks about G-Spot and how it works though there are only a few who actually runs to the deep understanding what G-Spot actually means. My opinion is that think wise it is not just another slang word it has a fascinating History that runs deep into the roots of gynaecology and biological scientific investigations. On the other hand we recall the name of Grafenberg unconsciously whenever we pronounce the word G-Spot. Secure and give validity to the great word that has a great meaning and a history; do not misinterpret this article or its content because the purpose of my article is to make aware of the actual facts of a known word that do have real scientific value.
