Hint: It’s also known as the “P-spot.”
You may have heard of the female G-spot. You know, that area inside the vagina that is supposed to lead to super intense orgasms? Well, did you know that there’s also a male G-spot?
“The male G-spot is real. It’s just known as the prostate,” says Donna Oriowo, PhD, an AASECT-certified sex and relationship therapist based in Washington, D.C. and founder of AnnodRight. “We know it more readily as the prostate, and less readily as the male G-spot.”
For this reason, the male G-spot is also known as the “P-spot,” explains Bobby Box, an AASECT-certified sex educator for Lovehoney and journalist. Located between the base of the penis and the rectum, the prostate is a walnut-sized gland that plays a role in the production of semen, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. (The more you know.)
The G-spot (or “P-spot”) is an area that is dense with nerve endings, meaning it’s a delicious spot for mind-blowing pleasure. Yet, not many people know about it, and others are fearful to explore the prostate because of the cultural stigmas surrounding anal sex. FYI: If you’re a cis heterosexual man having sex with a woman, anal play is not gay. For one, this idea has roots in heterosexism and homophobia. Not to mention, it’s a stifling point for sexuality and exploring new territories of sexual pleasure. Think of all the toe-curling feels you may be missing out on.
While often overlooked, the booty is where the heart (ahem, oh-so-good-Os) is. In fact, according to a 2015 study published by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, prostate orgasms produce 12 muscle contractions, while penile orgasms only produce four to eight. In other words, male G-spot orgasms can be as much as three times stronger. We suggest you use a glove and plenty of lubricant, water based or silicone based.
If you’re ready to explore all that the male G-spot has to offer, read on. Happy orgasming!
