Where the “g” comes from in “g-spot”

In the late 1970′s, sex researchers Beverly Whipple and John Perry learned of a sensitive area inside the vagina that could induce female ejaculation if stimulated. Researching further, Whipple and Perry discovered that German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, an immigrant living in New York City, had written about this area and about female ejaculation in a journal in 1950, but that this anatomical fact had mostly been forgotton during the years between 1950 and 1970. Although the area has also been written about centuries earlier, Whipple and Perry decided to name what they were studying the “Grafenberg spot” or G-spot, in honor of the first modern doctor to describe it. Theire 1982 book The G Spot by Perry, Whipple, and their colleague Alice Kahn Ladas, sold over a million copies, turning “G-Spot” into a household word.
