In the Head

Months ago, our blogger Jameson wrote a post about a BLT and the G-Shot in Too Much Vagina, Even for Me. Jameson blogged:
Yesterday, when I looked further into the Physician part of the G-shot website, I found that the makers of the G-shot did their studies on women who were already visiting a vaginal rejuvination clinic, and that 87% of the women who got the shot didn’t know what their g-spots were before taking part in the study.
In other words, this study was done on women who were already all about cosmetic yoni surgery. In addition, due to the lack of a control group, we don’t know whether the women had “enhanced sexual arousal/gratification” because they were given education about their g-spots or because they got the g-shot injection.

In more recent months, the G-Shot phenomenon has really taken off into mass media – thanks in part to Sf Chronicle’s article about the G-Shot story of a 22 yr old woman – and GV’s Staff Sexologist took a stab at the subject with her statement: Women Don’t Need a “G-Shot” which was picked up by Adult Industry News. Carol writes:
The real problem with innovations like the “G-Shot” is not that they might not work, though news coverage like the SF Chronicle’s recent article about the procedure devoted scant ink to that possibility.
The real problem is that these Next Big sex Things obscure the role of good, old-fashioned sexual and anatomical knowledge and the ability of partners to communicate about what they like, what they want, and what works best to arouse and satisfy. They also obscure the fact that different people may best be pleased by different things. That’s because, simply, everyone is not alike. [More]
Tristan Taormino tackled the G-shot (then called G-Spot Amplification) in not-so-recent 2004 when the surgery was first begun. Her article is a fascinating behind the scenes:
I had to see for myself what the so-called “G-shot” (thegshot.com and drmatlock.com) was all about, and since I happened to be in the plastic surgery capital, I called the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute to set up a consultation. The woman who answered the phone explained that the institute’s director, Dr. David Matlock, is not only the inventor of the shot but the only doctor in the country who performs it (on between 50 and 75 women so far, according to his assistant). He’s a very busy man, but after I mentioned my interest in the G-shot, he managed to “squeeze me in” that afternoon.[More]
What these three authors/G-Spot truth purveyors have in common is the blatant driving the point home fact that what women really needs is hands-on education, patience, and acceptance to take account for their own sexual pleasure. Feministing also did a great post on the latest in designer genitalia.
