Unraveling mystery behind the G-spot orgasm

Dear Dr. Sex,
So my girlfriend and I have been together for a while and we have had sexual intercourse, but she has never been able to ejaculate, like never. She says that it is going to take a really long time of going at it, but she's not sure. So I was just wondering what kinds of things I could do to help her get to that point.
Signed,

Dear Wanting to Go the Mile,
Some women, but certainly not all women, report ejaculating following certain types of stimulation, particularly stimulation of the G-spot. Let me first give you some background information on the G-spot.
The G-spot is an area in the vagina that is particularly sensitive to sexual stimulation. The spot was named after a German physician named Gräfenberg. The spot is located in the front third of the vagina on the anterior or top wall. This mass of tissue swells during sexual arousal and, when stimulated, can result in intense orgasmic experiences.
Only a small percentage of women report having G-spot orgasms. This limited experience could be due to the fact that the spongy tissue in the area may not become fully engorged with blood and sensitized to stimulation until the clitoris is fully engorged. Since this two-step process may take up to 25 minutes in many women, they may never experience the sensitivity of the G-spot. That doesn't mean they don't have one, but simply they haven't experienced enough stimulation or the correct stimulation to experience it.
G-spot research reveals that women are capable of ejaculating from their urethra at the time of G-spot orgasm. The ejaculate comes from Skene's glands located on either side of the urethra, and this fluid resembles semen in its chemical makeup. The Skene's glands are rather large, running the length of the urethra. As a result, some women report ejaculating a significant amount of fluid - upwards of a quarter of a cup at times.
Many women don't report these ejaculatory experiences because they are embarrassed. They believe the fluid is urine and therefore don't admit that the fluid came out because they think they urinated.
