G spot

or G-spot

noun

G-spot

an area in the front wall of the vagina which is alleged to produce an extremely intense orgasm when stimulated

Origin of G spot¹

C20: short for Gräfenberg spot, named after Ernst Gräfenberg (1881–1957), German gynaecologist

There was even speculation that ultrasound measurements could possibly be used to identify whether a woman had a G spot.

OK, so stimulation of the G spot area feels good to many women.

The G spot, however, is part of a multimillion-dollar industry.

It does present an opportunity, however, to take stock of what we do know about the G spot, thanks to past scientific research.

Yet the very idea of there not being a G-spot sparked international headlines.
