If you have ever had an orgasm through penetration alone, congratulations. How does it feel to be God’s chosen one?
For many women, orgasms (especially those obtained with penetration), are like unicorns, you would like to believe they exist, but evidence of their existence is yet to be discovered. To make matters more confusing, we are fed this fairytale about this elusive spot in the vagina that, if stimulated, can lead to earth-shattering orgasms.
So what is the G spot? Is it real? If so, how do you stimulate it?
The G spot or the Gräfenberg spot is an area within the vagina that is allegedly the key to achieving vaginal orgasms. Researchers from the Journal of Sexual Medicine conducted a study attempting to identify the anatomic structure of the G spot. They found no physical evidence of a specific spot.
However, this does not mean that the spot that many women feel induces an orgasm is not real. A study done by the Natural Research Journal discovered an interconnected relationship between the female sex organs. This area, called the ‘clitourethovaginal’ includes part of the clitoris and when stimulated can induce orgasms. So when you are stimulating the G spot, you are actually stimulating a part of the clitoris.
Historically, locating the G spot has always been difficult, every woman’s body is different and the exact location can vary from person to person.
The great news is you do not need a partner to start experiencing vaginal orgasms. You can start exploring your G spot right now. The G-spot lies on the anterior wall of the vagina, about 5-8cm above the opening to the vagina.
It is easiest to locate when you lie on your back, then inserting either a sex toy or your fingers, lift and curl towards your belly-button in a “come here” motion. To achieve the best results, rather than making ‘in-and-out’ movements, focus your attention on this area.
It is important to note, there is not a specific button you can press to achieve satisfaction. In fact, According to Psychology Today, only 25% of women are consistently orgasmic during vaginal intercourse. There isn’t only one way to orgasm, one orgasm does not fit all. Not all women will find satisfaction through G spot stimulation, and that’s fine too.
However, if you are one of the lucky few who have managed to find/maintain a partner during these chaotic times, there are plenty of positions you can try to explore the G spot.
“G spot orgasms are the best…it’s a nice feeling to know your partner can hit those certain spots in you”, a student in DCU stated when asked whether the stimulation of the G spot was essential to her in her relationship.
Whether it is cowgirl, doggy style, or closed missionary, positions that stimulate the G spot allow women a little more control to figure out what works best for their pleasure. So what are you waiting for? Add a new step to your ‘self-care’ routine today. It is sure to make this second lockdown a lot less stressful.
