I was comfortably settling in for the night by paging through various sexy blogs when (egads!) I came upon a bit of reading that left me decidedly uncomfortable. Emily Farris, over at nerve.com, was equally aghast when sharing this tidbit from Marie Claire:

The collagen injection - known as the 'G-Shot' - is being hailed as the latest cosmetic lunchtime treatment, administered within 30 minutes.The �800* injection claims to enlarge the G-spot to the size of a 10p in width, making the legendary erogenous zone easier to find and more sensitive.?Before you start rushing out for this little helping hand however, the injection only lasts four months before you have to go back for a booster?

*For those of us unfamiliar with the conversion rate, that?s 1,593.77 $USD.The mere thought of having a needle inserted into my g-spot has had the exact opposite effect: I believe that mine has unwrapped itself from my genital area and is presently cowering behind my sacrum. In addition to the needle, the collagen, the hefty price tag, and the four-month life-span, the news also leaves me wondering if these ladies have given the good ol? hands-on technique a whirl. To quote Emily:

How about you train yourself and your partner to find your G spot, which is most likely perfectly fine the way it is? Invest in a good dildo and some instructional videos, if needed.

I couldn?t agree more; and I?ll take her recommendation a few steps further by sharing some tips and resources that don?t involve medical procedures and an ample wad of cash:

• Visit our sister site, the G-Spot Center. There, you will find some good, solid information on finding your own (or your partner?s) g-spot? and some fun things to do with it once you?ve found it.
• Bone up with a book. We love Deborah Sundhal?s ?Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot.?
• Try a toy. There are a wealth of g-spot vibrators and dildos specifically designed to hit your sweet spot and keep you coming back for more.
• Take a class. It?s serendipitous that Babeland Seattle is holding our much-touted G-Spot 101 and Female Ejaculation workshop this Sunday; if you?re in the area, and you want to learn all you?ve ever wanted about the g-spot, now is the time!

As for myself, I?ll be spending the rest of the afternoon trying to coax my g-spot out of hiding with a little lube, a little patience, and my good friend the Pure Wand. Don?t worry? there will be no needles involved.
