Give it your Best Shot!

A shot at sexuality (Credit: beeldenzeggenmeer)

G-shot, a collagen injection to swell the elusive G-spot is the latest sexual enhancement procedure. G-shot is what Vanessa Stephens asked for when she decided to spice up her sexual life. A doctor pumped a small dose of collagen into her Grafenberg spot, doubling its size to the diameter of a quarter.

The injection - called the G-Shot, or G spot amplification, and now available at clinics in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto at a cost of about $1,000 apiece - is the latest quick fix promising sexual enhancement for women. Driven by what some plastic surgeons say is increasing demand from women, doctors and pharmaceuticals companies are rushing to produce new creams, supplements, pills and vaginal surgeries to amplify female arousal.

But if the injection sounds like the antidote to an age-old problem, some academics and sexologists are concerned that it's being administered to women without any credible evidence that it works. Others oppose the idea that great sex can be obtained with a single pill or shot.

The G-Shot was patented in 2002 by David Matlock, a gynecologist and plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. Since then he has given the shot to 300 women at his clinic on Sunset Boulevard. Most patients are in their late 20s and 30s, he says, and looking to "enhance" their sex lives.
