the g-spot 101

what is the g-spot?
The G-Spot is a collection of glands and ducts that surrounds the urethra. Stimulating the G-Spot (or G-Area, really) can result in pleasurable sensations.
how do I find the female g-spot?
To find your G-Spot, there are a couple of things you need to do. First, make sure that you’re aroused. The G-Spot is made from erectile tissue so if you aren’t aroused, it will be very hard to find. Second, you need to have the correct positioning. The G-spot is located behind the front wall of the vagina, towards the belly button. To find it, take one or two fingers and curl them in a “come hither” motion. Insert them into the vagina and angle them up, towards the belly button. Only go 1-2 inches in – the G-Spot is located within the first two inches of the vagina.
ok, i’ve found the g-spot! now what?
Once you find the G-Spot, you can continue to move your fingers back and forth in that same “come hither” motion and see what sensations develop. You might feel like you have to pee – this is normal. If you go to the bathroom ahead of time, you can relax. Usually after a bit more stimulation, those sensations will go away and other, more pleasurable sensations will take their place.
What will happen next? Well, it depends on the person. Some people will love G-Spot stimulation and may even orgasm from it. Other people may find it pleasurable but will prefer other activities. You just have to try it and see. Either way, you’re exploring your body and trying new things, so hooray for you!
what is female ejaculation (and is it real)?
Yes! Female ejaculation (sometimes called “squirting”) is definitely real. Female ejaculation happens because fluid builds up in the glands and ducts of the G-Spot through repetitive stimulation. When enough of this fluid builds up, it can exit the body as ejaculate.
Female ejaculate is made up of fluid that is similar to the fluid found in prostate glands in male-bodied people. Amazingly, there’s a reason for this: the prostate and the g-spot share the same embryonic tissue. (The clitoris and the penis do too, as do the ovaries and testes, just in case you’re curious). They’re located in similar spots on the body and like similar kinds of stimulation. In fact, some people call the prostate the P-Spot or the male G-Spot. The prostate contributes some of the fluid to male ejaculate and this fluid is very similar to the fluid in female ejaculation.
how can I make female ejaculation happen?
If you’re interested in ejaculating, here are some steps you can follow:
Step 1: Find the G-Spot.
Step 2: Stimulate the G-Spot with fingers or a curved toy until a sensation of pressure starts to build.
Step 3: Remove the fingers or toys and push out, kind of like how you would push if you were peeing.
Step 4: See what happens! You might ejaculate on your first try but if you don’t, just try again. You might have to stimulate your G-Spot for a longer amount of time.
Sometimes people worry that they’re going to pee instead of ejaculate, since ejaculate comes out of the urethra. In order to reduce these worries, go to the bathroom ahead of time then put down an old towel. That way, if you do pee a little, clean up will be easy. Then relax and enjoy the sensations.
Ejaculation is different for everyone. Some people ejaculate easily, others don’t. Some ejaculate just a dribble, while others soak the sheets. Some people ejaculate from clitoral (or other) stimulation alone, others need focused G-Spot stimulation. What will your experience be like? You’ll have to try it to find out!
