The Gräfenberg Spot, often called the G-Spot, is defined as a bean-shaped[SUP][1][/SUP]area of the vagina. Some women report that it is an erogenous zone which, when stimulated, can lead to strong sexual arousal, powerful orgasms andfemale ejaculation.[SUP][2][/SUP] The G-Spot is typically described as being located one to three inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm) up the front (anterior) vaginal wall between the vaginal opening and the urethra and is a sensitive area that may be part of thefemale prostate.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]
Although the G-Spot has been studied since the 1940s,[SUP][3][/SUP] disagreement persists over its existence as a distinct structure, definition and location.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP]A 2009 British study concluded that its existence is unproven and subjective, based on questionnaires and personal experience.[SUP][6][/SUP] Other studies, usingultrasound, have found physiological evidence of the G-Spot in women who report having orgasms during intercourse.[SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] It is also hypothesized that the G-Spot is an extension of the clitoris and that this is the cause of vaginal orgasms.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP]
Sexologists and other researchers are concerned that women may consider themselves to be dysfunctional if they do not experience the G-Spot, and emphasize that it is normal not to experience it.[SUP][11][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP][SUP][13][/SUP] Some women have undergone a plastic surgery procedure called G-Spot amplification (see below) in an effort to enhance its sensitivity.[SUP][3][/SUP]
