Guide: How to find your g-spot

The G-spot - a small fabled sweet spot in the vagina. Some tell of intense vaginal orgasms, while others of us aren't sure if we even have a g-spot. In this guide, we take you through all the mysteries of the g-spot: Where is it located? How big is it? And how do you find it?

Read here in our FAQ about the g-spot:

What is the g-spot?

The G-spot is a sensitive point in the vagina. It sits on the vaginal wall facing the stomach 2-5 cm up. Some experience having an orgasm when they are stimulated right there. The G spot is named after the gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg, who discovered it in 1944. Today, scientists disagree on whether the spot exists.

Is the g-spot found?

See, scientists don't quite agree on that. No physical evidence has been found that the g-spot exists. And yet some women find that they have a point in the vagina that is extra sensitive and nice to stimulate when they have sex.

In 2017, an article with data from the dissection of 113 deceased women aged 32-97 was published in the scientific journal The Journal of Sexual Medicine. The G-spot had not been found on any of the bodies that had been examined, and the researchers concluded that it was a myth.

But brain scans carried out in 2011 at Rutgers University in New Jersey show something completely different: when the vaginal wall is stimulated, it activates more cells in the brain than when the clitoris is stimulated. So maybe there is something to the conversation after all, maybe the g-spot really exists.

In any case, there are women and owners of a vagina who think that it is so wonderful when they are stimulated the approx. 2-5 cm up in the vagina.

And regardless of what the scientists think, it doesn't matter if you also feel that it's nice to be touched right there. Do you think you have a g-spot - finally, keep enjoying it.

Can't find your g-spot? No need to worry. It is completely normal. On the other hand, there are many other wonderful ways to stimulate the body.

Where is the g-spot?

The G-spot is located 2-5 cm up in the vagina on the vaginal wall facing the stomach. You can find it by sticking an index finger up into the vagina and making a "come-here" motion. Some say it feels like the surface of a walnut, others describe it as a small soft pillow.

How big is the g-spot?

For some, the g-spot is quite small - maybe the size of a 25-øre. In others, it is larger and the size of a 5 krone. The size can vary from woman to woman, and because the g-spot has never been proven to exist, there is again evidence for its size.

How to find your g-spot

If you have a g-spot, you can find it by sticking your index finger up into the vagina and making a “come-here” motion. It is in the area of the vaginal wall facing the stomach that you should look. The small point sits 2-5 cm up. You can both feel for it with your finger, or feel for it in your body, whether you feel you are hitting a particularly sensitive area.

Some feel the need to urinate when the g-spot is stimulated. Others think that it is uncomfortable to be touched in the area - if you feel that way, then of course you just leave it alone.

You can also use a g-spot vibrator when exploring the small sensitive area. The vibrator is bent so that it fits exactly to be able to stimulate the point with its vibrations. Sex with a g-spot vibrator can provide some wonderful and intense orgasms that take pleasure to a whole new level.

But don't expect it to feel either titillating or rude to be touched on the g-spot when you're lying there completely unexcited and non-horny and examining yourself. It is only during sex - either with yourself or with others - when you are excited that you get something out of stimulating the g-spot. It might even be easier to find that tiny dot when you're turned on.

If you can't find your g-spot, you probably don't have one. And that is completely normal. If you think it's exciting and feels good to be stimulated in the vagina, then by all means continue with it. And if you don't, enjoy the rest of your body - it deserves it.

The best positions for g-spot orgasm

If you want to experience a g-spot orgasm, the best positions are those where your g-spot is stimulated. Remember that we are all different and what feels great to others may not work for you. Here are 3 bids:

From behind - Sex in doggy style can stimulate the g-spot. Try arching your back slightly to change the angle so you hit the spot with the penis or a dildo.

On top - Sit on top of your sex partner and tilt your body backwards as you move up and down.

Legs up - lie on your back and place your legs vertically on top of your sex partner. Push any a pillow under the butt so that you get at the right angle.
