I’d have to agree with Bacchus on this, Gus. The prostate developes by outpouchings and invaginations from a portion of the urethra. In females, in the absence of testosterone, a roughly similar but much more limited outpouching occurs to form the poorly-understood “paraurethral glands of Skene,” tiny glands located on either side of the urethral opening in females. They have no important function, but probably do secrete various amounts of fluid during female orgasm. They are virtually impossible to see or find unless they get infected, in which case they become enlarged, painful, and leak fluid.

Hope this clarifies something.

I have to agree with Rus on this one. Having played with both g-spots and prostates, they have a similar enough feel and reaction to warrant the comparison.

If it takes an anal-free comparison to get a man over his own ass, who cares what we call it?

From a purely anatomical perspective though, the prevailing opinion among embryologists is that the G-spot would have become a prostate if the embryo had recieved the signal to become male. Therefore calling the prostate a “male g-spot” could be somewhat accurate.

In my books, “male G-spot” is right up there with “female ejaculation.”

Yeah, it’s unimaginative. I just see it as an implied metaphor, though: the prostate is the male equivalent of the female g-spot. The’re both underappreciated, have interesting effects, and are supposed to be hard to locate.

Just wow. This “anal-ness” is the cause of 90% of the worlds problems. Who cares really? The fact that anyone would bother to point this out astounds me - nevermind take offense. The world would be such a better place if people could get past the small, and largely irrelevant, things.

Right on to both of you, but doubly so to Rabbit.

It kinda pisses me off, too, for another reason; copping out and calling it the “male” g-spot is just so fucking unimaginative. That’s great, just what mainstream sex education needs: More unimagination.

In any case, we all agree… stupid, stupid, stupid.
