Who Discovered The Female G-Spot?

The discovery is attributed to Ernst Gräfenberg, MD, a Jewish physician who gained fame for studies of the female genitals and female sexual physiology in general. In 1933, he was forced to give up his post as head of the department of OBGYN in Berlin-Britz as a result of the rise of Nazism, but with the intervention of friends at the International Society of Sexology, he escaped Germany in 1940 and emigrated to California. He died on October 28, 1957 in New York. Initially, Dr. Gräfenberg and others referred to it as the "female prostate gland."

That said, it wasn't until 1981 that the "G Spot" he is credited with discovering was actually given its name, by Dr. John Perry, a PhD from Portland, ME. Papers first presented by Perry et. al. at the Scientific Meeting of the Maine Psychological Association and elsewhere in '81 [and beyond] ultimately ended up in the term being "coined" as "G Spot."
