Women self-reported G-spot existence and relation with sexual function and genital perception

Abstract

Objective:Aim of study to determine the existence of the G-spot from the healthy women’s point of view and to assess the relationship with sexual function and genital perception.Materials and Methods:Sexually-active healthy polyclinic patients aged between 18 and 54 years (n=309) were classified into three groups as group 1 (do not agree, n=90, 29.1%), group 2 (neutral/do not know, n=61, 19.7%) and group 3 (agree, n=158, 51.1%) with regard to participants’ responses to a question of “does the G-spot exist.” The Female Sexual Function index (FSFI) and Female Genital Self-Image scale (FGSIS) were administered to the participants.Results:Half of the patients (51.1%, n=151) indicated that the G-spot exists. The groups were statistically homogeneous in terms of body mass index, parity, marital status, number of partners, and sexual orientation (p=0.41, p=0.06, p=0.12, p=0.19, p=0.25; respectively). Women with an education level of “less than high school” reported the absence of the G-spot significantly more often than others, whereas women with an education level of “university and higher” reported the presence of the G-spot more often (p≤0.001). Sexual dysfunction was found to be more frequent in group 1 when compared with group 3 (p=0.002, 67.8%, 45.6%). The orgasm subdomain scores of the FSFI and FGSIS total scores were significantly higher in group 3 than in group 1 (p<0.001, p=0.041).Conclusion:Half of healthy women in the Turkish population believe that the G-spot exists. Those women showed better scores in sexual functioning and genital perception.

G-spot: Fact or Fiction?: A Systematic Review

Pain in Multiple Sclerosis: Understanding Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management Through Clinical Vignettes

“…Taylor did very well with improved energy and mood until 3 months later, when she began to experience a highly unusual sensation during intercourse. This was characterized as the perception of sliding ground glass when her husband's penis made contact with her ventral vaginal vault, typically inducing orgasm (mediated by the so-called Grafenberg or G-spot) ( 60 , 61 ); however, now it instead triggered an electric lightning-bolt of radiating pain into the vaginal region and rectum. Dyspareunia is characterized by pain during intercourse in general, whereas the pattern experienced by Taylor is an electrical (ephaptic) neuropathic variant of dyspareunia.…”
