Myth or Fact? ‘G-spot Therapies’ Can Improve a Woman’s Sex Life

Viable technique or just a placebo effect (with a possible side of woman shaming)?

A Florida gynecological surgeon says he successfully performed what he calls a “G-spotplasty” on three women in 2013.

The result? All three have regained their ability to orgasm from vaginal penetration, which they had lost after giving birth, he claims.

As reported by New Scientist, Adam Ostrzenski’s procedure involved excising a small amount of tissue from the upper vaginal wall where the G-spot is considered to be located. He then sutured the incision to tighten that area resting about an inch inside the vaginal opening.

Serious skepticism

Ostrzenski’s technique is one of various so-called “G-spot therapies” available, among them also include injections of collagen into the vagina to increase sensitivity.

But while these pleasure-promising procedures are major moneymakers, their efficacy remains disputed.

“G-spot therapies have become a multimillion-dollar business, promising to increase sexual pleasure for women,” Devan Stahl from Michigan State University said to New Scientist.

However, she added there is “virtually no evidence that these therapies work outside of a placebo effect.”

The existence of the g-spot in doubt

The claim that the sexual reactions to Ostrzenski’s surgeries are nothing but psychological is bolstered by the fact that his research—and thus his conclusions—have failed to meet scientific standards. For instance, he neglecting to include a control subject.

In addition to to the fact that there is no evidence that these techniques actually work, Stahl added that the existence of a specific S-spot also remains unproven:

There are researchers who think it absolutely does not exist, others who think that it may exist but not every woman has it, and still others who think that it is not a single ‘spot’ or anatomical structure, but rather a complex of varied anatomical structures.

Female sexuality isn’t broken

Beyond this, there is the bigger issue that these procedures reinforce the myth that if a woman cannot orgasm through penetration that she is somehow either sexually broken or incomplete.

According to a recent study published in The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, in partnership with OMGYes, only 18% of women reported they can orgasm through vaginal penetration.

That scientifically unproven “G-spot therapies” like Ostrzenski’s exist clearly shows a lot of needs to be done to repair many women’s sexual well-being—but not through surgery.

Rather, comprehensive education is what is truly needed: we need teach women and girls that their physical pleasure is uniquely theirs, and not being able to orgasm through penetration is nothing to be ashamed of—or ever needing repair.

This sad state of affairs is perfectly expressed by Stahl:

What is actually statistically normal—difficulty achieving orgasms through penetrative vaginal intercourse—is now considered pathological

Yet there is still room for optimism. For every procedure that preys on insecurity, there are activists and even entire movements—like Sex Positivity—working to increase female sexual awareness and acceptance.

As Beyoncé said,

There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still be a sexual being. It’s not mutually exclusive.

M. Christian

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
