Scientist mines 16th century text for P-spot

Ok, so I was just browsing around here on eden because....well...I like too....and I ran across this article under: sex guides and tips>in the press. It claims "Everyone should read the Ananga Ranga (Colors of Eroticism) in the original 16th-century Sanskrit. That way you'll find out about the Poornachandra Nadi. The P-spot is located beside the G-spot."

Well, I obviously cannot read original 16-th century sandskrit :P but, I was wondering if this does actually exist. I for one have never heard of it....well, ok....I thought the P-Spot was a mans prostate.....I guess I was wrong. Has anyone experienced finding this "P-spot"? Thanks! Reply

The P-spot is a mans prostate, or at least that's what I've always heard and read. I for one don't buy that there is another spot located next to the G-spot, at least not in my body. I think I've fully explored my body, and never came across anything like that.

Very strange indeed... Reply

Hmm...I'm not sure about that manuscript, or it's claims. However, some people I've met call the G-spot the "U-spot' or "G sponge" (which I guess is some combo of uretheral sponge and G spot?). So I guess maybe back then there was another name?

My grad school Human Sexuality bio class reported 4 different locations from which females could achieve the traditionally defined orgasm: clitoris, g-spot, vaginally, and apparently, through the urethera. Since then, I've also met women who have told me they orgasm anally...

Wow, that was really rambling. Anyways, my point was that maybe at the time the thing was written, therre was something else called the P-spot that isn't at all the same as the male prostate (the current day "P-spot")? Reply

HA! Essin it wasn't rambling, in fact it was quite informative! I had no idea about the urethera! Sounds kind of ouchie though...don't you think? Anyway, I'm guessing there probably is no female "p-spot". At least, I have encountered nothing like that on myself just as Bulma hasn't either. I just was curious if anyone else had it and maybe mine was just dysfunctional. Reply

Well if the p spot was prostate related wouldn't the girls that get off anally be using that one? Just a thought. Reply

Actually the G-spot is the female version of the prostate, they are both a urethral sponge, although the female one isn't believed to have a purpose (the same thing has been said about the clitoris though, and both provide sexual stimulation to most women). At least this is what I have read about it from online research. It is easy to google, or look up on wikipedia.

As far as anal orgasms go, I am lucky enough to experience these. I can say that they feel nothing like G-spot or clitoral orgasms. I feel the muscle contractions in my pc muscles through my pelvic area. When I orgasm from G-spot it seems more concentrated in my vaginal and urethral region where as the anal orgasm can be felt throughout the entire pc muscle. For me it is deeper and more satisfying than a g-spot orgasm. From any other orgasm, I seem to be left wanting more, but from an anal orgasm I feel completely satisfied. Reply

Bulma - very interesting! So I guess there are, at minimum, 5 ways that females can climax ...and maybe infintely more! Reply

no, because the prostate is a male-specific organ. Reply

Generally speaking, the 'g-spot' is female specific, and is a newer term for what used to be called the urethral sponge- there are a number of small glands associated with this area.
The 'p-spot' is a new term for the prostate, which is male-specific, and is also located directly around the urethra.
There is a lot of colloquial use of these terms that makes things more confusing, I think: calling the prostate the 'male g-spot' or the g-spot the 'female p-spot', and so on.
These two areas are homologous structures, meaning that they're biologically similar and probably developed out of the same cells, but were differentiated at some point during development by the influence of different sex hormones.
This is a good article on the g-spot, though not entirely related to the question: link Reply

what about nipple-gasms? my girlfriend is lucky enough to be able to get those. fun surprise when we made that discovery :) Reply

I can have breast orgasms too, so 6!

CW - I didn't mean females could have P-spot orgasms, but females CAN climax through solely anal stimuation (possibly because the location of the g-spot?). Reply

I've read (some random website online, don't remember which one) that supposedly women who do orgasm from anal stimulation is because of G-spot, but I know for me thats not the case. I can feel the stimulation mostly in the rectum, and besides that my husband's dick curves towards his belly, or towards my spine during anal sex, that's away from my G-spot. At least that's how it works with me. This seems to be kinda a rare thing though. Reply
