Doctor G-Spot

The Food and Drug Administration said that it had not approved any fillers for G-spot amplification, or for injection into the anterior vaginal wall, nor had it received any complaints. A spokesperson for Restylane would not promote the vaginal injections, saying only that the product has been ¨FDA approved for injection into naso-labial folds -- the smile lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth.¨ Using products for purposes beyond what they were approved for is somewhat common in medicine; it´s referred to as ¨off-label use.¨

As for Benjamin, he has no fears about performing G-spot injections despite the lack of peer-reviewed studies or clinical trials. He considers it such a low-risk procedure that ¨I don´t really have to do a double-blind study and review 10,000 people.¨ After so many years in business, he has come to trust his patients´ testimonials. And if it makes them happier, he says, ¨That´s what life´s about, right?

¨This is one of those things that´s at its dawn of being,¨ Benjamin sums up airily. For now, he may be perceived as ¨a little bit out there´¨ but soon, he predicts, G-spot shots will be as common as boob jobs. He´s just pioneering them. ¨To be immodest,¨ he smiles, ¨I´m good -- and I´m gutsy.¨
