kansas in heat (print edition) // FINDING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE G-SPOT
Relationship researcher Mike Anderson tackles the sticky world of relationship advice, one weekly Jayplay column at a time
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn., graduate student is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Thursdays at 7 p.m. on KJHK, 90.7fm and at kjhk.org.
*THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP
Lately there has been a lot of press and discussion about the potential absence of the much talked about, little understood G-spot.
In our last episode of Kansas in Heat, my cohost, Michelle, and I attempted to dispel the rumors that women do not have G-sports. Allow me to take this opportunity to let you know the truth about the mythical G-spot and dispel any rumors that both sexes may have about it.
The G-spot is named after Ernst Grafenberg, a German gynecologist who located and identified it. The G-spot is a sensitive erogenous area located two-thirds up the front wall of the vagina, though many women think it is located about two inches up on the front wall. It is basically an elevated bump that could vary in size between that of a dime or a quarter.
But here's the catch: The G-spot is not some magical button that is guaranteed to cause an extreme orgasm for women every time it's stimulated. Both the experience and the nature of the G-spot can be very different depending on the woman.
Many women say they can't feel anything in this area. This may happen for several reasons.
First, you may have difficulty experiencing
G-spot stimulation because you need to be really aroused to feel it. Second, it is difficult for a lot of women to angle their finger in such a position to stimulate it. It also may be very small.
I recommend getting a partner to stimulate and find your G-spot. For many women, constant pressure on the G-spot will feel better than the typical stroking or rubbing that takes place in masturbation. Many sexual experts and researchers agree that the G-spot exists and can be thought of as any other potentially erogenous zone, like behind your elbow or near your neck.
I once got an e-mail from a listener claiming that by saying women have a G-spot that can cause orgasms I am putting undo pressure on women to climax for their partners. Not at all; I am just saying that the G-spot is real and is another potential erogenous zone on the human body. For some women the stimulation of the G-spot can create a very intense orgasm that sometimes can actually cause female ejaculation. For others, this may not be the case.
My advice to women who would like to discover if the G-spot is an erogenous zone for them is to find a partner to help locate and stimulate it. Not all women are sensitive in this area, but for others
it is a major turn on.
For partners looking for something new or different in their sexual activity, G-spot stimulation could be your answer. Stimulation of the G-spot could happen with a longer finger that is curved upward at the end. The best position for intercourse to stimulate the G-spot is vaginal rear entry, or "doggy style," because it then becomes easier for a penis or dildo to stimulate the front wall of the vagina.
Men may also have a G-spot equivalent. The female G-spot is actually believed to be similar to the prostate gland in men.
So, go do some exploring of your body and see what you find.

The nicest thing someone has done for me is given me a place to sleep when I really needed one.
I can't own a pet being a musician. I would have to give my computer away if I had to.
Pee.
I would just ask them politely.
I'm trying to write that one currently.
WHAT'S THE NICEST THING. SOMEONE HAS EVER DONE FOR YOU?

My friend actually crocheted me a penis pillow. She worked on it for a year. It's one of my favorite things ever given to me.
For practicality's sake I'd have to give up my pet. If I ever want to graduate, I'll need my computer for school.
I would probably go carousing — booze, sex and drugs. No one would care because I'd be a dude. I couldn't get away with that being a girl.
My favorite band is Nine Inch Nails. I think I'd be too nervous to meet them. I wouldn't want to break the illusion by meeting them though. You have idols and I wouldn't want to ruin it.
I'd have to pick *The Fragile* by Nine Inch Nails. I could listen to it for the rest of my life.
