Ask Dr. Cullins: Body



Q:  Does the G-spot really exist?

A:  Although many women and authorities have identified the G-spot, many women cannot locate it. When located, it is found an inch or two beyond the vaginal opening in the wall of the vagina closest to the bellybutton.

Women find that the G-spot is very sensitive to sensual stimulation, swells slightly during sex play, and plays a role in vaginal orgasm. Some recent studies also show that stimulation of the G-spot by the pressure of childbirth may help reduce pain.
