OrangeReviewStarThe 1982 publication of The G-Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality, by Alice Khan Ladas, Beverly Whipple, and John D. Perry, shook up sexual complacency by reintroducing the G-spot, a female erogenous zone written about decades prior. Stimulation of this area is reputed to produce intense orgasms, but as this remarkable documentary demonstrates, there's still debate about whether or not it exists (in short, it's complicated), and that's just where the story begins. G-Spotting gives curious, open-minded viewers a concise yet comprehensive look at female anatomy, academic and medical research, and the culture and history of the G-spot, dispelling myths and revealing new frontiers for exploration with aplomb. It's a handsome, well-made production, with international locations, lively interviews with experts and laypeople, and witty visual flourishes. VERDICT This overdue examination of the would-be Holy Grail of sexual satisfaction is frank, smart, enlightening, and absorbing, provoking thoughts instead of giggles. With profanity, nudity, and sexually explicit content, fully in context; suitable for adults and mature teens. Highly recommended for all collections; essential for those with a sexuality component.—J. Osicki, Saint John Free P.L., NB
