The G Spot and Clitoris In Female Orgasm

Does a woman need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm?

No. You can take a woman to orgasm by stimulating her G spot too. However, as more people have spoken about the excitement of G spot orgasms, the louder have come the cries from the doubters: “All female orgasms come from the clitoris!”

Why do so many people deny the existence of the G spot and its ability to bring a woman to orgasm? 

After all, there are plenty of women in the world who report that stimulation of the front wall of their vagina, where the G spot is classically identified, produces a much more powerful orgasm. They say this feels different to the orgasm they get from clitoral stimulation.

There are even sex toys shaped specially to stimulate the G spot. It’s hard to imagine that the hard-nosed manufacturers of sex toys would have invested the time and money to produce a G spot stimulator it if there wasn’t some reality behind the vaginal or G spot orgasm.

G Spot Orgasms ARE REAL!

It’s almost as if people don’t want to believe there’s any other kind of orgasm than a clitoral orgasm!

Perhaps this is because not so many people have experienced the orgasms which come from G spot stimulation. Perhaps that’s why so many people say that a G spot orgasm is simply caused by stimulating a different part of the clitoris. This is the part which lies inside the body and surrounds the vagina.

There are many people trying to talk away the existence of a G spot orgasm, so the best way to investigate what happens when your G spot is stimulated is find out for yourself!

Clitoris vs G Spot – How Best to Bring A Woman Off

I will admit that the majority of women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm. Of course that’s one reason why most women don’t reach orgasm during sexual intercourse: they just don’t get any clitoral stimulation….

And, that said, a significant percentage do come during intercourse without any additional clitoral stimulation – somewhere between 10% and 15%.

One theory is that these women have a clitoris located closer to the vaginal opening than average, so that thrusting of the man’s penis inside the vagina actually stimulates the woman sufficiently to bring her to orgasm? Certainly this is a credible theory, and in fact there’s even some evidence to support it.

But on the other hand, there are a lot of women who tell of their gradually increasing G spot sensitivity. They often begin self-exploration with a G spot vibrator or sex toy. Then they go on to vaginal exploration with their own fingers, or a partner’s fingers. They find their sensitivity and responsiveness gradually increase, until stimulation of the G spot alone can produce orgasm.

In the end, you’re going to have to investigate this for yourself to discover what happens when your G spot is stimulated (or when you stimulate your partner’s G spot).

Judging by what women say, however, the G Spot orgasm is by far and away the best kind of orgasm. It’s a deeper and more profound, often quite emotional, orgasm that goes well beyond the pleasure of physical sensations in the body. It seems to encompass deep emotional fulfilment and satisfaction as well.

Back in 1981, a study of the vaginal wall suggested that it could grow by 50% during arousal. If you have tried this, you will know it to be true. And many women say their orgasms are much stronger and deeper when this part of the vagina is stimulated.

Following this, in 1990, an anonymous questionnaire was distributed to over 2000 women in the United States and Canad. About 40% of the women who returned the questionnaire said they experienced fluid release – i.e. female ejaculation – at the moment of orgasm.

Importantly, there was a clear correlation between this release of fluid and stimulation of the G spot: 82% of the women who had a sensitive area around the G spot also said that they ejaculated when they reached orgasm.

So does it matter if clitoral orgasms and G spot orgasms come from the same place?

Not really – because the point of G spot stimulation is to increase sexual pleasure. And a man who knows how to make a woman come in the way that she enjoys most is a great lover. Certainly better than a man who doesn’t take the time or the trouble to find out what really rocks a woman’s boat!

Of course there is a lot of evidence, going back as far as Masters and Johnson, to suggest that the clitoral tissues extend much deeper within the body than we traditionally understand. This means that stimulation of the G spot may just be stimulation of deeper parts of the clitoris.

On the other hand, it’s likely there’s more to making a woman come through G spot stimulation than that. We do know that the G spot and the clitoris are served by different nerve complexes. Stimulation of those two nerve complexes produces different sensations. Indeed, it’s possible for men and women who have severed their spinal cord in accidents to reach orgasm through stimulation of the vagus nerves which do not pass through the spine. 

One of the researchers who’s been the biggest supporter of the idea that stimulation of the G spot is really hidden stimulation of the clitoris is Helen O’Connell. She was one of the first scientists to describe the structure of the G spot in great detail“While using MRI technology, O’Connell noted a direct relationship between the legs or roots of the clitoris and the erectile tissue of the ‘clitoral bulbs’ and corpora, and the distal urethra and vagina.”

One of the most compelling and interesting studies on G spot anatomy was conducted in 2011. Women were asked to stimulate their vagina in a magnetic resonance imaging machine.

The researchers discovered that stimulation of the clitoris, the vagina, and the cervix activate distinct and different areas of the woman’s brain. In other words, not only does the brain feel different things when these three areas are stimulated, but there might be distinct nerve passages from each of those areas to the brain.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter whether or not the G spot is a unique and identifiable area of tissue or is actually a part of the clitoris – or even a nerve complex which gives extra sensations to women who are stimulated in this area.

What matters is that women can experience a deeper and different kind of orgasm, which appears to expand the sexual experience and provide more sexual satisfaction.

And what about the female prostate?

There’s been similar controversy about the nature of the female prostate or Skene’s glands. This is an area of tissue surrounding the urethra which appears to be biologically equivalent to the male prostate.

When we talk about female ejaculation, it’s important to be clear whether or not you are referring to urine or non-urine based ejaculation.

Female ejaculate devoid of urine appears to originate from the Skene’s gland. There is also evidence that some women produce ejaculate which contains urine: this is chemically different to the secretions of the Skene’s glands.

But either form of ejaculation can be sexually arousing and increase the power of a woman’s orgasm.

One of the real problems that can occur around G spot stimulation is that the very discussion of G spot stimulation and G spot orgasms, and whether it can make a woman come, is that it puts pressure on both men and women to “succeed”, to be orgasmic, or to be better lovers!

And in an area as sensitive and delicate as sex no wonder that anecdotal evidence has gained a real foothold on the Internet.

Sex isn’t something many scientists are willing to investigate, yet it’s certainly something that most people experience, one way or another, in their intimate relationships.

As always, we can only come back to the assumption that if you can discover ways that will make a woman come, if you can stimulate her in ways that are both exciting and satisfying for her, and if you are both satisfied with the level of exploration and discovery in your sex life, then you’re doing all that could possibly be expected of you, and you’re probably going to have the best sex life imaginable.
