This woman is funny. She notes that the Center for Sexual Therapy
in Haifa is located at the Rambam Medical Center. She writes that
the G-spot was named by Beverly Whipple, who contemplated calling it
the "Whipple Spot."
This doesn't explain the 'G' in 'G-spot' though. Ms. Whipple
apparently resisted temptation, and named the area (whose existence is
still doubted by some) after its discoverer, Ernst Gräfenberg, who
stumbled upon it, or upon what he thought was it, during his research
in the 1950s.
<What Is The The Gräfenberg Spot?
<The Gräfenberg spot or G-Spot (named after its discoverer, the German
gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg) is a small area of the female genital
area located behind the pubic bone and around the urethra, i.e. the
front wall or anterior vagina and halfway between the pubic bone and
cervix. It is part of the urethral sponge, which houses the Skene's
glands. If we imagine a clock face with the center of the vaginal
opening, taking the 12 towards the navel, this area is between one and
eleven...>
Well, you may get the picture...
