How to Find and Stimulate the A-Spot: Expert Orgasm Advice

You've heard of the G-spot, but what about the A-spot? This tucked-away erogenous zone can bring intense sexual pleasure and stronger orgasms for some. Discover where the A-spot is and how to stimulate it – it's time to bring your A game!

 

Most people who want their vulva-owning partners to experience sexual pleasure at least know of the G-spot – that elusive area within the vagina. But have you heard of the A-spot? For many of us, it just isn't on our radar.

The G-spot is part of the clitoral network, which is much larger than we're led to believe. While many people (we're looking at you, men) think the clit is simply the small “nub” at the top of the vulva, in reality it's a wishbone-shaped network of tissues and nerves that extends inside the body.
 

One of the most sensitive areas of this nerve center is the anterior fornix erogenous zone, AKA, your new best pal, the A-spot. In fact, it’s one of the deep vaginal erogenous zones, that also includes the G-spot, the O-spot, the pelvic floor muscles, and the cervix.

The anterior fornix  was “discovered” by Dr Chua Chee Ann. She found that stimulating this particular spot could trigger arousal and lubrication in the vagina. Believe it or not, the good doctor was working on a fix for vaginal dryness at the time (somebody buy that doctor a beer!).
 

So, Where Is the A-Spot?

Anatomically speaking, the A-spot – or anterior fornix erogenous zone – exists between the cervix and the bladder. It's part of the anterior or top wall of the vaginal canal (belly button side), located a bit deeper inside than the G-spot.

 

“If you're struggling to find your A-spot through fingers alone, sex toys could help. As the A-spot is so deep inside the vagina, long sex toys – especially those with a curve, like a dildo or vibrator – are best.”

Just like the G-spot, some people don’t even believe it’s a real spot. The only way to know if it’s real for you is to go exploring. If you know where your G-spot is, locate it, then move your fingers back towards your cervix a few inches. While you may not feel a difference in skin texture like you can with your G-spot, you may feel instant arousal when stimulating this area.

Amazing A-Spot Benefits

Although A-spot orgasms are logistically challenging to achieve – given how deep it’s located within the vaginal canal and the fact that most of us with vaginas don’t orgasm from penetration alone — the benefits of stimulating this sweet spot are huge:

 

• Loads more vaginal lubrication. Stimulating the A-spot is proven to bring on your WAP, as Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B would say. In fact, according to research published in Sexual and Marriage Therapy. just 10-15 minutes of A-spot play caused two-thirds of women who usually had vaginal dryness or pain during sex to report a significant positive physiological response, and 15 percent of women in the study responded instantly with “copious vaginal lubrication”. 
   
• More (intense) orgasms A-spot stimulation has also been shown to lead to longer lasting and more intense orgasms — often radiating through the entire pelvic floor. In fact, according to a study published in the Iranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine, stimulation of the anterior fornix erogenous zone helps those with 'female orgasm disorder,' a condition where it's impossible or difficult for vulva-owners to hit the big O.

 

How to Stimulate the A-Spot

You can reach the A-spot with fingers, a penis, or a sex toy. But, just like the G-spot, touch alone isn’t enough to stimulate this area. You’ll need to manipulate it with pounding, stroking, tapping, or vibration. While the A-spot location varies person to person, it's about 4-6 inches deeper inside the vaginal canal than the G-spot.

The simplest way to find your G-spot is to insert a well-lubed finger into your vaginal canal and make a “come here” motion to locate it. Then, move inch by inch deeper into the vaginal, using the same “come hither” motion with your fingers, reaching further toward your cervix. You may get some feel-good sensations which can be an indicator you've hit the A-spot jackpot, and some people say the area feels “spongy”.

If it feels painful or uncomfortable, stop, and try again another time. Likewise, don't worry if you don't find a special spot point that makes you feel A-mazing: it can be difficult to find with fingers alone.

Try Toys

If you're struggling to find your A-spot with your hand, sex toys could help. As the A-spot is so deep inside the vagina, long sex toys – especially those with a curve, like a dildo or vibrator – are best. In fact, some toys are specifically designed to stimulate the A-spot.

A thinner toy is probably better than a thick one or a toy with a large head, since you'll be plunging it deep inside you. It's more likely to reach further, and, consequently, improve your chances of hitting the A-spot.
 

Sexual Positions that Hit the A-spot

Done with the self-exploration? These are the sexual positions you can try with a partner that are most likely to get you hitting that A-spot.  

1. Reverse Cowgirl

Due to the A-spot’s location on the vaginal canal's anterior wall, it actually faces your belly button. The reverse cowgirl is a great position to help reach this area as your partner’s penis or dildo should penetrate in the direction of the anterior wall – curving toward the back of your vagina instead of the front – where the A-spot is, rather than posterior.
 

“The A-spot – anterior fornix – is part of the top wall of the vaginal canal (belly button side), located a bit deeper inside than the G-spot.”

Basically, the penis or dildo is likely curve toward the back of your vagina instead of the front. The person on top in the Reverse Cowgirl can control the penetration pace, allowing their partner to venture in slowly and safely.
 

2. Doggy

Reach deeper into the vaginal canal by having your partner penetrate you with their penis or a toy. Slightly curving whatever you're using for penetration means you're more likely to hit the anterior wall of the vagina and therefore the A-spot.
 

3. Anal sex

Anal stimulates the A-spot by putting pressure on your rectum as you're stimulating the same nerve are that can then reverberate down the vaginal wall to the A-spot. As always with anal, go slow and use loads of lube.

 

FAQs

Who Has The A-Spot?

Only cisgender women and people assigned female at birth have the potential to reach this spot.
 

How Deep Is The A-Spot?

It’s located deep inside the vagina, roughly 4–6 inches in, between the cervix and bladder, on the front vaginal wall.
 

Why Does A-Spot Stimulation Increase Lubrication?

A-spot stimulation can trigger rapid vaginal lubrication and heightened arousal, even in those prone to dryness.
 

Can I Orgasm From The A-Spot?

Some people can, while others find it amplifies orgasms rather than causing them on its own.
 

What If I Don’t Feel Anything At My A-Spot?

That’s completely normal — the A-spot isn’t pleasurable for everyone, and pleasure looks different for every body.

 

The Takeaway: A Marks the Spot

A-spot stimulation can result in deep and full pelvis orgasms that will drive you wild. An A-spot orgasm may feel like a build-up of pressure and then a sudden release that causes vaginal contractions and/or – as many have claimed – increased wetness due to increased lubrication. Saying that, some people may not notice any difference in feeling between an A-spot, clitoral, G-spot,  or any other orgasm type.

Indeed, it’s crucial to realise that the A-spot isn't an erogenous zone for everyone. We're all wired differently, and it’s possible that the spot doesn’t do it for you or the sensation is unpleasant instead of orgasmic.

In this case, focus on the parts of your body that do produce sexual pleasure whether it’s the clitoris, your nipples, or that sweet spot on your neck. Finding the A-spot isn’t some contest where you get the “Best Vulva Award” or “Biggest, Wettest Orgasm” trophy afterwards. Go looking for it if you want, but don’t make the A-spot the sole focus of your sexual pleasure if it doesn’t work for you.
