Take a collective sigh of relief, humanity. If you’ve been
one of the countless people searching in vain for the elusive Gräfenburg
spot (aka the G-spot) or wondering why you aren’t gushing like Old
Faithful each time someone makes a “come hither” motion in your vagina,
then search and wonder no more. Once lauded as a “magic button” and the
ultimate female pleasure enhancer, an Italian scientist’s recent report
claims once and for all that the controversial G-spot is nothing but a
myth (with a really good PR campaign). The study — published in the
journal Nature Reviews Urology by
Emmanuele Jannini, Professor of Endocrinology and Medical Sexology at
Tor Vergata University of Rome, Italy — found that, essentially, the
G-spot is just a sensitive area that’s part of the larger pleasure
center that includes the vagina, clitoris, and urethra, or as the study
sexily put it, the “clitourethrovaginal (CUV) complex.”
The
G-spot’s rise to sexual stardom started in the 1950s with German
gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg, who claimed that he discovered
(Christopher Columbus style) an area on the upper side of the vaginal
wall that, when touched in the right way, led to orgasm and sometimes
ejaculation. Since then, countless books and articles have been written
on the G, including how to find it, how to “master” it, and how to
orgasm from it.
