Dear jet_99_99,

There's a small area called the Grafenberg Spot, or G-Spot, inside the vagina. It is located about an inch or so inside the vaginal opening on the upper vaginal wall — toward the bellybutton. The G-Spot is sexually sensitive and swells slightly during sex play and feels raised or bumpy.

Although all women have this tissue, some like their G-Spots stimulated as a part of sex play and others do not. And many notice no difference in sensation one way or the other. Many women have orgasms, and about 10 percent have female ejaculation when their G-Spots are stimulated.

Scientists think that the G-Spot has another function during childbirth. They think the G-Spot releases endorphins when stimulated by the fetus as it passes through the birth canal. This may act as a natural pain reliever for the woman giving birth.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
