Alice Kahn Ladas, pioneer in women's sexuality, dies at 102
Dr. Ladas was particularly concerned with female sexual pleasure, once telling an interviewer that she “was always interested in women being able to own their own bodies and use their bodies the way they wanted.”
“The G spot is what specifically frees us from the either/or thinking of the past decades, for it demonstrates that there is not one genital focus of erotic arousal in women,” Dr. Ladas and her co-authors wrote. “There are, instead, at least two foci – the clitoris and the G spot.”Article content A reviewer for The Washington Post, Elizabeth Hess, wrote that “instead of defending [their] astounding revelation with hardcore, scientific data,” Dr. Ladas and her co-authors “choose an inordinate number of soft-core testimonials from women with born-again sex lives, who believe in their spots.”Article content
A 2021 article in the journal Sexual Medicine surveyed 31 studies in medical literature examining the G spot. “The different studies did systematically agree on the existence of the G-spot,” the authors concluded. But “among the studies in which it was considered to exist, there was no agreement on its location, size, or nature. The existence of this structure remains unproved.”
