“Plastic surgeons who have developed experimental techniques to enhance G-spot sensations in women, and the women who pursue this option, have bypassed the most important element of healthy sexual functioning,” Dr. Carol Queen, Good Vibrations staff sexologist and chief cultural officer, said. “That element is, simply, understanding the natural process of sexual arousal.”
“These new methods ignore the role of good sex education and the importance of sexual communication with a partner,” Queen said. “Not only does this expensive and extreme procedure lure women into the doctor's office, it’s untested and it may not even work. A woman may assume a medical fix is the best option, but there is no substitute for basic knowledge and comfortable exploration."
The proper stimulation of the G-spot is still a mystery to many, especially since the introduction of abstinence-only sex education, according to Queen. "Intercourse may not be the best way to experience G-spot stimulation," Queen said. "G-spot stimulation is rarely even comfortable for a woman unless she's optimally aroused. Any woman or couple wanting to explore G-spot stimulation can have a wonderful time doing it, but skipping that process of exploration is never something we'd recommend."
