I alternate between G-spot and g-spot. I fully support the hyphen, but am flexible on capitalization.

Same here. Although I'm guilty of sometimes not using the hyphen at all, but in those cases I still use a space, so it's not one word.

I think that if you skip a hyphen, a space is totally required.

(FYI: When I put the poll together, I had to put in periods because the system doesn't differentiate lower case and upper case)

I go back and forth between hyphenating and not hyphenating, but I always make it two words. I can be lazy.

I think I've used both g-spot and g spot, but normally I do g-spot. I don't think I usually capitalize it, though it's possible I do and jsut don't think about it... but I don't think I've written gspot becuase that just seems like it should be pronunced gispot...which is weird..

I like the capital G & A - after all they are both a pretty big deal for many!

I capitalize the g/a if it's at the beginning of a sentence - otherwise I think I usually leave both the g/a lowercase. But I am going to have to go look and see - I suspect I'm not consistent except for the hyphen

Anterior fornix erogenous zone sometimes thought of as the deep g-spot.

The fornix is where the vagina and cervix come together - anterior means the front - abdomen facing. Stimulating the area is known to significantly increase natural lubrication and may play a major role in female ejaculation.

My wife loves me to stimulate this area - but she has to be very turned on for it feel good. The more excited she gets the more her vagina elongates - that's when she'll start pressing back into a dildos until it completely inside.

Wikipedia ref link there are many others - just Google it

Ok, I'm gonna be all technical and say that really, none of the choices in the poll are 100% correct.

G-spot is short for Gräfenberg Spot and is based on a proper name, so a capital letter should be used.

The anterior fornix erogenous zone is not named for a person so the correct short form would be a-spot, with no capitalization.

The same goes for p-spot.

But at the same time it is a partial acronym, and the convention is to capitalize acronyms.

Therefore G-spot, A-spot. P-spot.

Thanks for the clarification!

I was looking at it the same way ScottA was.

I'm guilty of using both G-spot and G-Spot in the title of a review. I tend to use lowercase in other situations.

Ok - I can see that being a valid argument. I did not think of it in terms of acronyms.

As long as there is a conscious reason, based on some rule of standard English grammar, I can deal with variations. It's just the "rules of grammar are optional" attitude that disappoints me.

And of course Random usE capitOl Letters wheneVer thE MooD stiKes you makes me stabby.

While capitalization is in some ways arbitrary, it does help the reader as long as it is used consistently.
