Like so many explorers before him, Dr. Adam Ostrzenski has long dreamed of finding a piece of elusive territory with a reputation for near-mythic powers.
Ostrzenski's quarry is the G spot, the long-conjectured trigger for enhancing female orgasm. And in an article published Wednesday by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the semi-retired Florida gynecologist declared that he had found it.
To do so, Ostrzenski conducted a postmortem examination of an 83-year-old woman in Warsaw Medical University's Department of Forensic Medicine. Unlike the United States, which strictly regulates the research use of cadavers, Poland allows the dissection of human remains soon after death, when fine distinctions in tissue remain easy to see.
Inspecting the six distinct layers of tissue that make up a woman's vaginal wall, Ostrzenski said, he uncovered small, grape-like clusters of erectile tissue housed in a sac less than 1 centimeter across — "a deep, deep structure" nestled between the vaginal wall's fifth layer, the endopelvic fascia, and its sixth, the dorsal perineal membrane.
In some corners, Ostrzenski's study is cause for celebration. To have isolated a unique structure capable of boosting women's orgasmic powers should lay to rest the doubts of those who question its existence.
Others, however, are crying foul. Ostrzenski's report not only fails to support his grand claim of a "new discovery" but falls prey to the all-too-common urge to simplify women's sexuality, said Beverly Whipple, the Rutgers University sexologist who popularized the name "G spot" as coauthor of a 1982 book on the subject.
