There's Something I Don't Get About the G-Spot...

There’s something I don’t get about the G-Spot… 🤔 I just can’t quite put my finger on it… 😁🤣

Let’s have a little heart-to-heart about the mysterious, much-hyped G-Spot, shall we?

For starters, calling it a “spot” is kind of misleading — like calling a giant oak tree a leaf. The G-Spot is actually part of the clitoral network, which is far more complex and widespread than most of us were ever taught in health class (if we were taught anything at all).

You know that little nub at the top of the vulva where the inner labia meet? That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Literally. The clitoris extends internally — with roots that can stretch up to four inches long! So, when you’re stimulating the so-called “G-Spot,” what you’re actually doing is activating a deeper part of the clitoral system. It’s all connected.

Now, finding the G-Spot? That’s a bit of a journey — and it looks different for everyone. No two vulvas are exactly the same, so what feels earth-shattering for one person may feel “meh” for another. But for many, once you do locate it and give it the right kind of love, it can unlock some next-level pleasure — we’re talking intense orgasms and even squirting (yes, that is real — we’ll get to it).

Let’s bust another myth while we’re at it: Vaginal orgasms from penetration alone? Not the norm. According to a 2017 study, only about 18% of women climax from intercourse alone — no hands, mouths, or toys involved. And as the brilliant Dr. Laurie Mintz points out, only 2% of women report climaxing from penetrative masturbation alone.

So why is society still pushing this narrative that orgasm should just “happen” during sex? It’s time we give clitoral stimulation the credit it absolutely deserves.

Now, back to the G-Spot — yes, you can absolutely have vaginal orgasms. And for many, the G-Spot might be part of the puzzle. So if you’re curious, here’s how to start exploring.

G-Spot 101: Where to Begin

I go into this much deeper inside my Pleasure Seekers group (you’re welcome to join — we have juicy replays waiting for you), but here’s your cheat sheet:

  • Start solo. Self-exploration is key. Once you recognize how the G-Spot feels in your own body, you’ll know what you’re looking for.

  • Relax. Like really, deeply relax. Take your time, get turned on, and follow what feels good.

  • Get aroused first. The more turned on you are, the more the G-Spot swells and becomes easier to find.

  • Clitoral orgasms first? Bonus. Orgasming first can help everything swell up and heighten sensitivity.

  • Prep the entrance. Gently massage around the vaginal opening before inserting anything.

  • Use fingers or a toy in a “come hither” motion, aiming up toward your belly button. Steady pressure is better than in-and-out.

  • Focus. Once you find that spot, stay with it — same rhythm, same motion.

So… How Do You Know You’ve Found It?

Oh, you’ll probably wonder if you need to pee. That urge to urinate is one of the telltale signs — and it can be confusing if you’ve never felt it before. If this has ever happened to you and you bolted to the bathroom only to discover… nope, nothing? That might’ve been your G-Spot saying hey there 👋.

Quick tip: Pee before you get started. It helps prevent UTIs and gives you peace of mind when you feel that sensation creeping in. Next time, instead of hopping up, try riding that wave. If it’s not painful (pain = stop), stick with the rhythm and see what happens. You might just unlock a whole new kind of orgasm.

What’s a G-Spot Orgasm Like?

People describe it in all sorts of poetic, dramatic ways — from “an earthquake that shook my soul” to “I blacked out and came back a new woman.” Translation? It’s big, it’s different from a clitoral orgasm, and it can be incredibly satisfying.

You might also experience female ejaculation (aka squirting). While it can happen with any orgasm, it’s more commonly associated with G-Spot play. And just so we’re clear — female ejaculate is not the same as urine. It comes from the Skene’s glands (similar to the male prostate) and can range from a few drops to a couple of CUPS. Yep, you read that right.

Totally normal. Totally amazing. And also — totally optional. Some people squirt, some don’t. No pressure.

Gearing Up: Must-Haves for G-Spot Play

Let’s talk tools of the trade:

  • Lube. Non-negotiable. Whether you go water-based, silicone, or hybrid (my personal favorite), lube makes everything more comfortable and safe for your tissues.

  • G-Spot Enhancing Gels. Look for ingredients like L-Arginine — it increases blood flow and sensitivity. I recommend applying it to a toy and letting the toy do the work.

  • Curved G-Spot Toys. These are designed to hit the right spot. I’ve got some fab new ones hitting my shop soon, so stay tuned!

  • Splash Blanket. GAME. CHANGER. It’s a cozy, waterproof blanket that holds up to a liter of liquid (hello, squirting). Machine washable, looks like a regular throw — use one in the bedroom, another for pets or kids. I never go without mine.

Here’s the Bottom Line

There’s no universal roadmap to orgasm. The G-Spot might be your magic key — or it might not be your thing at all. That’s perfectly okay. Your body is unique, and pleasure isn’t one-size-fits-all.

The best thing you can do? Explore. Without pressure. Without judgment. Learn what feels good to you, and use that wisdom to guide your partner, your practice, and your pleasure.

Remember, great sex doesn’t always look like the movies — and it definitely doesn’t come from shame or silence. The more you understand your body, the more empowered and confident you’ll feel in bed (and beyond).

You deserve pleasure that feels deeply satisfying, whether that involves the G-Spot, the clitoris, or the whole glorious combo platter. 💃

Your body. Your rules. Your pleasure.
