Female Sexual Arousal Disorder - The Anterior Vaginal Wall

When Masters and Johnson published their account of the physiology of the sexual reaction, they fought Freud's theory of the transition of erogeneous zones in women. According to these famous sexologists, nerve endings in the vagina are highly spread. Hence, during coital stimulus the clitoris is stimulated indirectly, possibly through the movement or friction of the labia. Hite's data sustained this point of view. Almost all women who reached orgasm through stimulation from coitus alone had experienced orgasm through masturbation. Many women needed supplemental manual stimulant to orgasm during coitus, and an even larger number was unable to orgasm during coitus at all.

Apparently, coitus alone is not a very impelling stimulus for orgasm in women. In 1950, Grafenberg rendered an alternative to Masters and Johnson's explanation for the relative ineffectuality of coitus to cause orgasm. He identified an area of erectile tissue on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra, about a third of the way in from the introitus and below the base of the bladder. Strong digital stimulant of this zone would trigger a rapid and high level of sexual arousal which, if kept, evoked orgasm. This paper was ignored until 1982, at which time this area was renamed as the G-spot. According to Levin, still, there is no credible scientific prove for the presence of either a unique G-spot with its own plexus of nerve fibers or for the fluid that is frequently released when orgasm is reached from stimulus of this area being anything other than urine. Because it is hard to see how strong stimulation of this G-spot would not also stimulate other erogeneous structures such as the urethra and clitoral tissue, Levin argues that the whole area should be viewed as the anterior wall erogeneous complex. Grafenberg pointed out that coitus in the so-called missionary position (ventral ventral) prevents stimulus of the anterior vaginal wall and would therefore not be optimally sexually stimulating for women. Instead, contact with the anterior wall is very close, when the intercourse is performed more bestiarum or a la vache that is, a posteriori . Thence, Grafenberg's suggestion was not that coitus itself is an inefficient sexual stimulus for women, but only coitus in the missionary position.

Sensitiveness of the entire vaginal wall has been explored in several studies. Weijmar Schultz et al. used an electrical stimulus for exploration under nonerotic conditions. This study sustains sensitiveness of the anterior vaginal wall, even though sensitivity of this area was much lower than that of the clitoris.
