The Gräfenberg spot or G-spot, named after German
gynecologist 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, and is possibly the cause of female
ejaculation.
