With so many sex positions in your romp-ready rolodex, it should come as no surprise that some just hit the spot. The G-spot, that is.

Although the G-spot may be elusive, it is real! But it’s not as much of a literal spot as it is “a pleasure zone,” says Shannon Chavez, PsyD, CST, a certified sex therapist based in Beverly Hills. Typically, it’s located about two inches inside the vagina along the front wall, but everyone’s “spot” is different. “There can be a lot of variation in terms of location, just like any other part of our anatomy,” Chavez says.

And on the topic of anatomy, many researchers and sex therapists, including Chavez, believe the G-spot to be part of the internal clitoral network. FYI: The clitoris isn’t just the external nub at the top of your vulva. There’s also an internal structure, too, made from erectile tissue that expands when you’re aroused. This is why the G-spot is typically easier to find when you’re turned on, says Sari Cooper, LCSW, CST, a sex therapist based in New York City.
