Dr. Gary Schubach is a sex educator, lecturer and writer. His overall perspective is that our society does not teach people the necessary interpersonal relationship skills nor do people acquire this information naturally.
There continues to be enormous public interest in the areas of the so called “G Spot” and Female Ejaculation. There are frequently stories in the popular media of studies supporting or denying the existence of the “G Spot” and/or questioning whether Female Ejaculation is a natural orgasmic function or a sign of urinary incontinence. These are areas of enormous importance in terms of how millions of women view their sexuality, and the amount of pleasure and intimacy they can experience with their sexual partners. If the evidence demonstrates the G Spot and female ejaculation as components of natural sexual functioning, women can be freed from guilt and shame about prostate (G Spot) stimulation and the expulsion of fluid during sex.
I have always believed that the term “G Spot” is not a useful metaphor to describe the anatomical basis of the female erogenous experience of stimulation of the upper vaginal wall. The term only contributes to the confusion. Actually, in his writings, Gräfenberg (1950) only uses the word “spot” twice, and then solely to make the opposite point that “…there is no spot (emphasis added) in the female body from which sexual desire could not be aroused.” He states that, in fact, “innumerable erotogenic spots (emphasis added) are distributed all over the body, from where sexual satisfaction can be elicited; these are so many that we can almost say that there is no part of the female body which does not give sexual response; the partner has only to find the erotogenic zones.”
A more accurate and descriptive term, such as the female prostate or prostata feminina, should make it easier for everyone to understand the issues involved and to better serve women’s health needs. I have made that point repeatedly and the articles featured on DoctorG.com, make it the most comprehensive G Spot and Female Ejaculation resource center on the internet.
