Do all women have a G spot?

I recently came across some research suggesting that physical differences in women may explain why some have ever reached an orgasm during vaginal intercourse. Emmanuele Jannini at the University of L'Aquila in Italy studied twenty women, and found that apparently the ability to achieve an orgasm through the G spot is linked with a thicker anterior wall of the vagina.

Jannini used vaginal ultrasound to scan the entire urethrovaginal space - the area of tissue between the vagina and urethra thought to house the G spot. The team scanned nine women who said they had vaginal orgasms and 11 who said they didn't. They found that tissue in the urethrovaginal space was thicker in the first group of women,” stated an article on NewScientist.com.

To be honest, like a lot of women I know, I hadn’t really bought into the whole G spot idea because I hadn’t orgasmed that way. I could’ve tried to find my G spot with a vibrator, which many of the new ones are specifically designed for like the Lelo Gigi, but I never got around to it. Most intercourse felt pleasurable, but I found that it had to be combined with clitoral stimulus in order to get to the Big O. That is, until I found it... Leg spasms, back arching, toe curling, moaning and screaming, the whole climactic experience.

That being said, I necessarily have to question the validity of this study. It took the right partner, someone with whom I was comfortable, and exploration of my own body to find my G spot. The study seemed to leave several important questions relating to relationships and partners unaccounted for.

What was the size and curvature of the men with whom they were sleeping? I can say for certain there are men out there who may never make it to the G spot, because, well, it’s just too damn small. If you’ve got a guy with a funky downward or sideways curve, you may have to adjust your positions a bit.

What positions were the women trying when attempting to find their G spot? From experience I found two positions that work for me and a plethora which haven’t.

Does the relationship have healthy communication and are the women and their partners informed about finding the G spot?
Had the women attempted to find their G spot on their own with a good vibrator or dildo? Wish I’d tried that out a long time ago, because I could’ve been more helpful instructing my partners.

And mostly, as one article on nhs.uk pointed out, twenty women is a pretty small sample from which such a broad conclusion was drawn. It also pointed out the possibility that some women may have developed thicker muscles, and perhaps other women could too. Ladies, order yourself a set of the Lelo Luna Beads and work those Kegel exercises!

Until further research is done, I don’t think it can be said beyond a shadow of a doubt that some women are G spot deficient. My advice: have an open dialogue about it with your partner, get yourself a good vibrator and a set of beads.
