Gspot

The G-spot, named for German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg, refers to a region inside the vagina on the anterior (belly-side) wall that some people report as highly sensitive and capable of producing intense arousal or orgasm when stimulated. The term is widely used in popular culture, though its anatomical basis remains debated.

Location and anatomy. Most descriptions place it about 2 to 3 centimeters inside the vagina, along the anterior wall, above the urethra. It is described as a dense area of tissue that becomes engorged with blood during arousal. Some researchers associate this region with the surrounding erectile tissue of the clitoral complex or with the Skene's glands (paraurethral glands), but there is no universally agreed-upon definition.

Evidence and controversy. Scientific studies have produced mixed results regarding the existence of a distinct G-spot as an anatomically discrete structure. Some imaging and histological studies do not identify a consistent gland or tissue dedicated to the G-spot, and reports of orgasm resulting specifically from stimulation of this region vary among individuals.

Sexual response. For some individuals, stimulation of the G-spot is reported to enhance arousal, lubrication, and the intensity of orgasm, particularly when combined with clitoral stimulation; for others, stimulation of this area is not notably different from other forms of vaginal stimulation. The variability reflects broader differences in anatomy and sexual response.
