Clever Hans, where are you when we need you? Seriously, I doubt this. Think -
if someone told you your navel was the source of dynamite orgasms, would that
induce such orgasms from navel stimulation?

Well, I promised to do some literature searching, so here's what I've found
so far. I haven't hit the science citation index yet, so there may be much
more to come (as it were).

Far and away the best book on orgasms in general is a manual published in
1983 by Alan P. Brauer and Donna Brauer, a pair of psychiatrists and
behavioural science people from Stanford. The book is titled "ESO -
Extended Sexual Orgasm", and covers much the same approach as I took at
the start of this thread, in vastly greater detail. Just about every
other popular book on orgasm is listed in their bibliography, so I won't
produce them here.

I hit the medline archive down in the Bosch medical library, and found
a couple of recent pertinent articles. Unfortunately they haven't actually
made it into the library, but I can give you the abstracts:

From 'The "G spot" and "female ejaculation": a current appraisal.' by
H. Alzate, J Sex Marital Ther [J89] 1986 Fall, 12(3), P 211-220:
"ABSTRACT
...evidence in support of the "G spot" -- defined as a discrete anatomical
structure located on the anterior vaginal wall, which swells upon being
tactilely stimulated - is inconclusive ... however, it seems reasonable to
accept that women possess a zone of tactile erotic sensitivity on the anterior
vaginal wall, which in many of them may extend to the entire anterior wall ...
some women emit a fluid through the urethra at orgasm, although its true nature
and anatomical origin are still unclear"

From 'Vaginal erotic sensitivity by sexological examination.' by Z. Hoch,
Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand [1E8] 1986; 65(7): P 767-73
"ABSTRACT
... existance on the anterior vaginal wall of an anatomically clearly definable
eroticallly triggering entity ... was refuted. The ENTIRE [my caps] anterior
vaginal wall, including the deeper situated urinary bladder, periurethral
tissues and Halban's fascia, rather than one specific spot, were found to
be erotically sensitive in most of the women examined, and 64% of them learned
how to reach orgasm by direct specific digital and/or coital stimulation of
this area. All other parts of the vagina had poor erotic sensitivity ...
Instead of looking for a 'vaginal (coital orgasm' distinctly different from
a 'clitoral orgasm', this concept speaks towards a 'genital orgasm' potentially
acheivable by separate or, MOST EFFECTIVELY [my caps], combined stimulation of 
those different trigger components of the genital sensory arm of the orgasmic
reflex."

That's the most recent I could find - I'll look a bit more tomorrow. So much
for the "anti-penetration stance" ;-) Anyone seen anything more recent?

Shabash! Onward and upward :-)

Yes, but the point is, which are you more likely to believe.  If the person you
tried to convince was niave enough, then quite possibly you could get them to
orgasm just by playing with their navel ;-}

HANG ON, isn't the navel one of the (GOD knows how many) errogenous zones ?
If so, then it really depends on exactly how the person feels about you.  You
may not even have to try to convince her that her navel is going to stimulate
her to such an extent.

Unfortunately I am not prepared to spend the time that you have looking for
articles to the contrary.  I think however I could find an equally convincing
array of articles denying the existance of the G-Spot.  It is the same with
anything that is not completely understood in science I suppose.

I may have a look arround for such articles after this semesters completion.

Read 'em again, ant. Those articles DO deny the existance of a G-spot. If you
mean articles denying vaginal erotic sensitivity - I couldn't find any. I
still haven't looked up Hoch & Alzate in the SCI, but will do sometime in
the next week.

For CC: the fluid I observed was clear, more viscous than I would expect
urine to be, and without any of the attendant odour of urine. The females in
question were healthy specimens as far as they or I know.

So who was Halban and what is his facia? Hmmm... seems more appropriate if it
is HER facia if we are talking about girls naughty bits!

Oops, sorry, it has been a tough week.  Entertaining a girl you haven't seen in
three years for the week before swot vac can be very exhausting (but also very
entertaining :')

Didn't get the chance to apply any of your experience though :'(
