Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the identification of the G-spot through ultrasound scans, exploring its anatomical significance and the implications for women's sexual health and knowledge. Participants share various perspectives on the research findings, the societal perceptions surrounding the G-spot, and the broader implications for sexual education.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants note that ultrasound scans identified G-spots in only 8 out of 30 women, raising questions about the prevalence of the G-spot.
  • There is speculation about the historical lack of research on the G-spot, with some participants questioning why such studies are only emerging now despite the availability of ultrasound technology since the late 1940s.
  • Some participants express skepticism about the existence of the G-spot, suggesting that the concept may be more myth than reality based on their personal experiences.
  • There are discussions about the potential for women to experience vaginal orgasms and the anatomical differences among women regarding the G-spot.
  • Some participants draw analogies between G-spot stimulation and prostate massage, suggesting a possible connection in terms of sexual response.
  • Concerns are raised about societal taboos surrounding discussions of female sexuality, which may hinder research and education on the topic.
  • One participant humorously suggests the idea of G-spot transplants, reflecting a mix of seriousness and jest in the conversation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of views, with no consensus on the existence or significance of the G-spot. Some agree on the need for more research and discussion, while others remain skeptical about the findings and their implications.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight limitations in the existing research, including small sample sizes and potential biases in previous studies. There is also mention of the challenges in discussing female anatomy and sexuality openly.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to individuals exploring topics related to female anatomy, sexual health, and the societal implications of sexual education and research.

Seems the illusive "G spot" has been identified. Take a look for it here!

It's a thick layer of tissue on the front vaginal wall which has been identified using ultrasound.

And if you actually want to see ultrasound pictures of it, check this out.

I guess what strikes me is that so many women might not know about their own anatomy, and how few men know enough to help out their partners. From the article, only 5 of the 8 women 'knew' about their own G-spot. (I'm sure 100% of men know about theirs!)
Ultrasound scans on 30 women uncovered G spots in just eight of them and when these women were asked if they had vaginal orgasms during sex, only five of them said yes. However, when the remaining three were shown their G spots on the scan and given advice on how to stimulate it, two of them subsequently "discovered" the joy of vaginal orgasms. "This demonstrated, although in a small sample, the use of [vaginal ultrasound] in teaching the vaginal orgasm," Jannini says.
Ok folks, get to work with your partners and start the search! :wink:

I was certain this was a troll thread. Hahaha

So women without G-spots are stuck, huh? Sucks. =/

Nope. There's a more easily accessible spot that works very well.
 
Hm, only 8/30? I know not everyone has one, but that is somehow a lower ratio than I would have expected.

Also... Is it just me, or is it kind of weird that we're only this year seeing this kind of research done for the first time? It seems like this is the kind of thing that could have, and should have, been done 50 years ago. Hasn't ultrasound detection been around since like the late 40s? It seems weird that we don't have a "this is what percentage of women have a g-spot" to compare that 8/30 number to (wikipedia links a study that appears to have an estimate of that number, but it was based on a survey that seemed to have highly nonrandom sampling/return rates and anyway the data can't be accessed without a SpringerLink subscription), or that any research before this year can't even rely on the idea of it being medically established the g-spot exists! Is this kind of research really just that hard to do or have people been avoiding attacking the subject?

:rolleyes: Pfft, even I know that... where is it...?

I was referring to vaginal orgasms. They can't grow their G-spots apparently. Only those who have them can harness their power.

What about transplants? Could I take some dead woman's G-spot and put it in another woman that needs one? How much do you think I should charge for that?
 
Hi Coin,

This is something that struck me as well. It's almost like saying that only 8 out of 30 women have 5 fingers, the rest only have 4. The women with 4 fingers can do everything the women with 5 fingers can do, but there's this anatomical difference that is totally unlike anything else. People have different facial features or skin color, but here's a difference that is totally unlike any other I can think of.

Seems to me it's one of those taboo subjects that women feel very embarrassed talking about and men are largely oblivious of, and I think that’s the main reason you don’t see much of this research being done and what IS done is largely overlooked because it’s such a touchy topic.

What I've seen however, is that these kinds of topics come out of the closet a bit more as we get older. Women I've talked to about similar topics who are in their 40's are more open to discussing their own experiences and from what I've seen, many of them are dissatisfied with their sex life, and that leads to problems in the marriage. I wonder sometimes if people about to get married, shouldn't be forced to sit through a course on having 'good sex'. I bet it would solve a lot of marital problems down the road.

lol, i doubt it. isn't g-spot stimulation supposed to be analogous to prostate massage?

I am not, in fact I am surprised it is that large. I was being to think that the horny orgasmic female was more myth then fact. I guess I just have not had a large enough sample of women. :blushing:

I know where the "gee, I have a headache" spot is.
