Sexual Anatomy by the Letters: The Difference Between The G- and A-Spots

Would you believe that I just received a Sexual Anatomy 101 lesson from a teen magazine? It’s true. In the latest issue of CosmoGirl!, there is a Sex Q & A that gave this 30-something girl a good, solid schooling.

So, we all know about the G-Spot. But did you know about the A-Spot? (Yep, another elusive “spot” that’s probably impossible to find.)

Here is the difference, according to the magazine:

Both:

• May or may not exist in every woman.
• Are hard to locate.
• Are spongy, small areas on the roof of the vaginal wall (your stomach’s side, not your back’s.)

G-Spot:

• Was named for gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, the first person to describe it in a published study.
• Is close to the entrance of the vagina.
• Can produce an ejaculatory-like fluid when stimulated. (Huh.)

A-Spot:

• Is closer to the cervix (the entrance to the uterus at the top of the vagina.)
• Produces strong contractions when stimulated.

So wow, there you go. Sexual Anatomy 101, courtesy of a teen magazine (it’s amazing what the young people know these days, eh?)
