Move Over "G" Spot - Scientists Find A "C" Spot

Knowledge is not just power, sometimes it means more pleasure!

The G spot, an area inside the vagina that's thought to cause exceptional sexual pleasure, can be difficult to pinpoint. Though in my latest book SEXY BRAIN, I take a man through an anatomical journey to find it. Just saying.

Now, researchers have found a more elusive “sweet spot” related to women's sexual pleasure: a brain area that responds to genital touch.

The moral of this new discovery story: “Use it or lose it!”

This spot “thickens” in the brain, with increased sexual activity. And wanes without it.

The “C” Spot

These findings of this new “C” spot, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, offer insight into understanding healthy sex, the causes and possible treatments for sexual dysfunction or dissatisfaction, and the long-term effects of sexual abuse.

The “C” spot stands for the somatosensory cortex.

This is a brain region that detects touch in general, but different spots within this region represent different parts of the body. One spot links up with a woman’s clitoral tissue.

Scientists have been trying for years to pinpoint the exact location for sensory stimulation of the clitoris but kept getting inconsistent results. It turns out there's a good reason for that: Just as sexual experiences differ from one woman to the next, the specific site linked to the clitoris in the somatosensory cortex also differs among women.

The thickness of that area in each woman varied:

• By how frequently each woman reported having sex in the past year, and

• Where the region was and how large it was depended at least partly on how often it was used.

The more love a woman made, the more this brain “C” spot thickened. And the more pleasure a woman received.

Study

Twenty women got MRI scans of their brains while wearing disposable underwear with a device placed over their clitoral area. Wow.

The device, held in place with tape and a Velcro belt, lightly vibrated enough to stimulate the clitoral region.

The researchers compared the brain imaging from this sensory touch to the imaging when the women stimulated the back of their right hands with the same device.

Unlike most past research, this study managed to stimulate only the clitoris without touching other nearby body parts or causing notable sexual arousal, allowing the scientists to zero in on the region of the brain linked to sensory touch in that region.

Conclusion:

This is the first time that scientists could clearly show that the frequency of sex in the past year and over a person's lifetime was related to the physical structure of the brain region linked to clitoral touch.

If you are not enjoying intimacy, consider getting my book SEXY BRAIN and reading to each other the chapters on how to make each other feel pleasure and intimacy.

And, just do more.

The more you do, the more your brain and clit get in sync, and the more pleasure awaits.

Intimate pleasure is a gift from Nature.

Intimacy releases hormones, including the feel-good hormone oxytocin.

The more natural hormones released, the more lilt in our step the next day.

Knowledge is power. Or… pleasure.
