G-spot
- For the recipe of an alcoholic beverage with this name, see G-Spot.
The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot, named after Ernst Gräfenberg, is a small area in the genital area of women behind the pubic bone and surrounding the urethra. It is the same as, or part of, the urethral sponge, the site of Skene's glands.
Stimulation of the G-spot (through the front wall of the vagina) is said to promote a more vigorous and satisfying orgasm (climax), and is possibly the cause of female ejaculation; however, it may be that not every woman has such a spot. See Skene's glands and urethral sponge for more information.
The term "G-spot" is also used by analogy as a slang term for the prostate gland in men, which may be stimulated through anal play or by pressing on the skin directly beneath the scrotum.
