Ode to the Elusive, So Called G-Spot

The G-spot ‘doesn’t appear to exist’, say researchers
The King’s College London team believe the G-spot may be a figment of women’s imagination, encouraged by magazines and sex therapists.BBC The Gspot :

Is The G-Spot a fragment of your Imagination?

A Little History of the Wonderful G Spot: (see my comments below)

In the 1950’s German born Jewish gynecologist and scientist named Ernst Gräfenberg became well known for his studies of the role of the woman’s urethra in orgasm.

During the First World War, he was a medical officer, and continued publishing papers, mostly on human female physiology. In 1929 he published his studies of the “Gräfenberg ring”, the first IUD for which there are usage records. When Nazism assumed power in Germany, Gräfenberg, was forced in 1933 to resign as head of the department of gynaecology and obstetrics in the Berlin-Britz municipal hospital. In 1934, Hans Lehfeldt attempted to persuade him to leave Nazi Germany; he refused, believing that since his practice included wives of high Nazi officials, he would be safe. He was wrong, and was arrested in 1937 for having smuggled out a valuable stamp from Germany. Margaret Sanger ransomed him from Nazi prison, and he was finally allowed to leave in 1940, whereupon he went to the U.S. and opened a practice in New York City.

He became famous for his studies of woman’s genitalia, and human female sexual physiology; published studies include the seminal The Role of Urethra in Female Orgasm in 1950, describing female ejaculation, and an erogenous zone where the urethra is closest to the vaginal wall. In 1981 sexologists John D. Perry and Beverly Whipple named that area the Gräfenberg spot, or G-spot in his honor.

While the medical community has not embraced the whole concept of the “G-Spot”, Dr. Sanger, Dr. Kinsey, and Drs. Masters and Johnson credit his extensive physiological work. (thanks to Wikipedia)

The Secret Fire Trigger

While it’s true Ernst was a pioneer, and some might consider him a hero who brought the insides of women’s vagina into the light of day, the G—Spot is not a new invention. Ancient Chinese Taoists refer to this area as the ‘Lute Strings’ and the Shamanic teachings of Quodoushka calls this region on the upper wall of a woman’s inner cave the ‘Secret Fire Trigger.’

While I think Ernst must have been a great guy, and I love what he dedicated his life to, I personally prefer the more poetic names. If I have to name that confounding place scientists are still pondering (and I say-let them ponder away!), I like the sound of having ‘Lute Strings’ inside me. For one thing, rather than fumbling around looking for a spot, this lovely name might encourage my lover to play gently inside me hoping to make a little music. For another, the name ‘Secret Fire Trigger’ is a lot closer to the idea of what’s inside than a ‘G—Spot’. It’s a whole ganglion of interconnected nerves and vessels—think of the beautiful illuminated branches in Avatar spreading out into a vast network of intelligent feelers. Now that’s what it feels like inside.

While scientists are still trying to figure out what on earth exists in there, (oh, and their marvelous instruments must have such a hard time pinning down what women have been moaning about for centuries,) I say let the mystery continue!

Anyone brave enough to pull my ‘Secret Fire Trigger’ will not be wondering if they have found the Gspot once I have exploded and poured in ecstasy all over the place. We love thinking we have something wonderful, special and fantastic inside, and we do!

Whether it’s somehow connected to the urethra, or called the Female Prostrate Gland (can we have a better name, please) what matters is that we are still looking, still feeling around, and still having lovely orgasms. (and they’re all good).

But really, thank you Ernst. I hope that your clinical studies were not too clinical, and that while you were alive, you smiled at our folly to name the unameable, know the unknowable or ever even slightly corner the market on women’s pleasure.  On the other hand, even if people don’t know where the name G Spot came from, I think it’s a pretty good way to be remembered. There have probably been more than a few screams of orgiastic delight made by women who were glad somebody was looking for something. So viva the Gräfenberg spot!
