To quote the infamous John Mayer (he’s … ), your partner’s body is a wonderland, and there’s no place more legendary and mysterious than the G-spot.
Why This Matters
Named after the German gynecologist who found out it, Ernest Grafenberg, the G-spot is dropped to be a walnut-sized patch of tissue located at an upward, curved angle inside the vagina, near the back of a woman’s pubic bone. Most people think of the G-spot as an individual organ, but it’s more likely “the internal parts of the clitoris,” says Ian Kerner, PhD, LMFT, sex therapist and author of She Comes First. Contrary to popular belief, the clitoris isn’t just the small nub you see at the top of the vulva.
This is the kind of health news that affects everyday decisions.
Key Takeaways
- That’s the clitoral glans, says Kerner, which, like the glans or the head of the penis, is the most sensitive part of the clitoris.
- But just as the penis has a shaft, so does the clit, he explains.
- And instead of a single “shaft,” the internal part of the clitoris is split into two “legs” (like a wishbone) made of erectile tissue.
- “Those legs wrap around the entrance to the vagina, and they also rub against the urethral sponge, which is the G-spot,” says Kerner.
The Bottom Line
Generally speaking, the G-spot is located around two inches inside the vaginal canal on the anterior (front) wall, but the actual placement differs from person to person, which is why it can be so difficult to find. So, before you go poking around with your penis, explore the area with your hands.
