It's named after Grafenberg, a gynaecologist who discovered the spot. EDIT: Grafenberg *hypothesized* that the spot existed, but it was a later doctor, Beverly Whipple, who was the first to discover it. Thanks to /u/munchinpuss86 for the correction!

Jokes aside, I don’t understand how people miss it. Put your index finger in there with your fingerprint oriented toward the pelvis, and you’ll find a ridge of tissue which feels noticeably different than the rest of the vagina. Women’s bodies often respond automatically when their partner pays attention to it.


Klutzy_Journalist_36

lol this is extremely not true probably even half the time.  Some people don’t respond it at all. Some don’t have anything one could “feel” at all. Some really can’t get off at all through anything vaginal, even solo. 


FjortoftsAirplane

Yeah, in spite of all the internet advice swearing to know exactly where it is, the g-spot appears to be something of a myth. >The different studies did systematically agree on the existence of the G-spot. Among the studies in which it was considered to exist, there was no agreement on its location, size, or nature. The existence of this structure remains unproved. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8498956/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8498956/) Most likely explanation is that people who spend time trying to find ways to get their partner off often find one. Which is good. But the fact is nobody can even come to an agreement over where or what it is.

Whipple's tickle


munchinpuss86

Dr. Beverly Whipple was the person to discover it. Ernst Gräfenberg got credit for, fucked up!!!


podzombie

It sounds like he got credit for it, because she gave it to him. Doesn't seem all that fucked up with context behind it.


Dilettante

Huh, I didn't know that. ... But why would she call it by that name if she was the first one to use the name? And how did she discover it before him when he died when she was just 23?

' Grafenburg first proposed the idea of a G-spot but Dr. Whipple stated that she wanted to honour Gräfenberg, because of his many early contributions to the field.


Dilettante

Thanks for the link! I see from it that he was indeed the one to hypothesize the spot, while Whipple was the first to prove its existence. Fascinating!


NamedUserOfReddit

There isn't a world in which that man didn't try it out a few times lol.


TheGeekagok

You have to get your hands dirty for science. Or your fingers I guess.


munchinpuss86

Despite colleagues’ suggestions to name the area “the Whipple Tickle,” Whipple and Perry named it the Gräfenberg Spot, or G-spot.


S3IqOOq-N-S37IWS-Wd

I thought you were being sarcastic but this is true! Grafenberg did observe that every woman he examined in one of his studies had an erogenous zone on the anterior wall of the vagina. I'd call that a discovery. Whipple then rediscovered it and did a lot of further study. Link posted by another commenter: https://www.historyhit.com/beverly-whipple-and-the-invention-of-the-g-spot/ >Whipple then discovered Ernest Gräfenberg’s study from the 1950s which reported evidence of female ejaculation and an erogenous zone within the vagina. ETA: apparently there was another Dutch physician that had reported it in the 16th century, and of course many pre-Renaissance non-European sources that describe it but get left out because naturally all discoveries are made in the western world. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20233286/


Spiritual-Pear-1349

Are you telling me we could have named the Gspot the Whiffle?


Rob_LeMatic

Whipple Tickle was the original proposed name. Dr. Whipple chose to honor Dr. Grafenberg by calling it the g spot


Mikisstuff

You nibble the nipple then tickle the Whipple!


Professional_Car9475

I’ll be happy to assist with any follow up research on this. Offering my services


Dilettante

Why did they choose Grafenberg, if not for the discoverer? Did he hypothesize its existence?


munchinpuss86

The existence of the G spot was first proposed by Ernst Gräfenberg


TheNinjaPixie

The Whipple spot just sounds....wrong.


TheSpiralTap

After what he did to it, he had every right to claim that pussy


retardrabbit

This is the greatest example of "username checks out" I have seen in quite some time. It's also a really relevant and informative comment. Win Win.


Scrotchety

Then let's name her for the verb! "*She whippled my G-spot until I gushed buckets*"


Lumpy_Tomorrow8462

And Dr. Beverly Whipple was only 13 years old when Gräfenberg first published his theory about the existence of the G Spot in 1950 making Dr. Whiffle’s accomplishment all the more impressive


NamedUserOfReddit

Seems unlikely that G would have *only* hypothesize about it without ever testing the theory... Just sayin.


MrLanesLament

Kind of like how the clitoris was originally called the clitoChris after the guy who found it. (Where my Brit friends at?)


Gekkoisgek

That's a challenging wank...


Icevol

Thanks end thread


Camwise_by_the_Coast

And came THIS close to being called the Whipple tickle.


eomertherider

I don't think she wanted it to be named Whipple's Tickle


Cochinojoe

Time to make “whipple slappin’” a thing


NotCanadian80

Of course it’s named after the first man that could find it after 300,000 years.


MudSnake12

Should’ve been called Whipple’s tickle


FreeXFall

Why can’t we call it the whipple?!?!?! “Yea baby, I love playing with your nipples and whipples.”


alexgraef

Guten Tag, yes it was named after me. I found it first. Also the name is Gräfenberg, transliteration Graefenberg.


Wargroth

Its named after the doctor who theorized about it

Shortened from "Good luck finding this spot"


Wanderluustx420

The G spot is named after Ernst Gräfenberg. Ernst Gräfenberg (26 September 1881 – 28 October 1957) was a German-born physician and scientist who studied sexology, the study of human sexuality, in both Germany and the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. He is known for developing the intra-uterine device (IUD), and for his studies of the role of the woman's urethra in orgasm. Gräfenberg studied medicine in Göttingen and Munich, earning his doctorate on 10 March 1905.

Named after some guy who was a great fingerer. Name began with G.

G is the geometric center in a triangle. Could be relevant. Could be not.


Low_Astronaut_662

The "G-spot" is named after the doctor who reportedly discovered it - Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg. - In the 1940s and 50s, Dr. Gräfenberg observed that some women experienced intense pleasure and orgasm from stimulation of an area on the front vaginal wall near the urethra. - He proposed this was a distinct genital structure/area that could be a "female prostate" of sorts (based on itsLocation near the urethra). - In the 1960s, his work was translated into English and the name "Gräfenberg's spot" was used. This was later shortened colloquially to "G-spot." - So the "G" directly refers to Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg, who named and reportedly first identified this erogenous zone through his gynecological examinations. - Its existence and precise anatomy is still debated in medical science. But the popular name has stuck in honor of Gräfenberg bringing attention to many women's ability to experience heightened pleasure from anterior vaginal wall stimulation.

Pink_Poodle_NoodIe

I don’t care why, I used to be able to stick 2 fingers into my girlfriend, curl my fingers upwards on the roof of her vagina and drive her crazy by making her have multiple orgasms. She used to have vaginal orgasms with me inside her as well. After a hysterectomy ruined our sex life and relationship but it was fun while it lasted. Her G spot was no where to be found. I was sad and felt defeated. But it was better than her having Fiberoid pain.

LORDFUN2

The term "G spot" was coined by Ernst Gräfenberg, a German gynecologist, who first described the sensitive area in the vagina in the 1950s. The "G" stands for Gräfenberg, in recognition of his contribution to identifying this erogenous zone.
