5 Women Share How They Found Their G-spots For The First Time

Few areas of the female anatomy are as elusive—and as highly sought after—as the G-spot. Experts are still hella divided on whether or not the erogenous zone even exists, even though oodles of women would swear on their Lululemons that not only is the G-spot legit, the corresponding orgasm you can experience from it is worthy of a fireworks display.

So what’s with all the controversy? “The G-spot is an area that’s comprised of various tissues, as opposed to a specific spot,” explains Jess O’Reilly, Ph.D., resident sexologist and relationship expert for Astroglide. Because it’s not an anatomical entity that can be extracted from the body, the legitimacy of its existence continues to be hotly debated in the scientific community. “As opposed to being a singular organ, it’s believed that its sensitivity is connected to stimulation of the female prostate (previously referred to as Skene’s glands), urethral sponge, and inner clitoris,” says O’Reilly.

If you’re looking to find your own G-spot, you can access this sensitive area through the upper wall of the vagina (toward the stomach). “It’s not inside the vagina, but is felt through the vagina,” she says. You can reach in and curl your fingers up against the stomach wall of the vagina, and if you feel an area that’s a bit swollen or ridge-like, you’ve likely found it. “During stimulation and arousal, the G-spot swells and can be felt more prominently, so work yourself up a little before going on the hunt,” adds O’Reilly.

Now for some inspiration, read how these women managed to find the holy grail of erogenous zones.
