Response to the SF Chronicle Article -
|
It was with great interest that I read the recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle, “Enhanced Romance: The G Shot: Is It The Latest Panacea To Improve Your Love Life?” I am a SF Bay Area sexologist who is considered to be one of the leading experts in the world on the question of the G-Spot (female prostate). My doctoral research project was a landmark study of this subject and the related issue of female ejaculation.
The first thing that struck me about the article was that it was not clear that the term, “G-Spot,” refers to the female prostate which completely surrounds the urethra, similar to the male prostate. Conclusive studies have shown this tissue to be identical and, in fact, arousal of the male prostate will produce a very similar orgasm. Grafenberg (http://doctorg.com/Grafenberg.htm) was very clear in his famous article that he was talking about the female prostate. The term ‘G-Spot’ was a brilliant marketing term by the publishers of the 1984 best selling book, The G-Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Sex. It was an excellent choice of words in that the term ‘G-Spot’ has achieved high public recognition even though few people really understand what it means.
The Chronicle article was correct in that the ‘G Shot’ has not been properly researched. However, the mechanics of injecting collagen into either the female or male prostate is fairly simple and could be expected to allow more sensation. The problem is that most people don’t know how to properly stimulate the female prostate (G-Spot) or to put a woman into a high state of arousal. My website, www.DoctorG.com, offers articles, DVDs, books, and other information on how to properly stimulate the female prostate (G-Spot).
As a sexologist, I have no objection to augmenting physiology but it seems logical that people would be best to acquire the information and know how to properly stimulate their partners before augmentation is even considered so that they can have better sex with or without a G shot. In other words, they should learn how to use the equipment they have before undergoing a medical procedure (possibly risky long term effects have not been studied) to try to improve their love life.
What is interesting in the part of the article entitled "the debate over the Big O" are the comments by my esteemed colleague, Dr. Betty Dodson. When she first read my doctoral research project, her immediate comment was that "the G-Spot is the female prostate." It took some years of debate before Dr. Whipple and her associates began to acknowledge this simple truth. Hypothetically, a collagen injection into the male prostate should also create an opportunity for heightened sexual arousal. The difference is that, due to common male issues around anal stimulation, male prostate arousal is not as frequently explored as stimulation of the female prostate (G-Spot). Both the male and female prostates have potential for heightened pleasure but, again, it is important to learn how to properly arouse the area before augmentation.
As a number of ‘experts’ in the article point out, we live in a culture where there is a desire to find a medical or pharmaceutical answer to all sexual issues. I believe that it is possible for people to have totally satisfying sexual lives by simply improving their knowledge and understanding of human sexuality (without the use of medical or drug intervention).
