"For decades, hapless men have been fumbling around in bed for their partner's G-spot: the elusive erogenous zone said to send women into a sexual frenzy.

Now a huge British study has found they may have been searching in vain.

Researchers have found there is no evidence whatsoever for the existence of the pleasure point - and that it may not exist outside the minds of women influenced by magazines and sex therapists.

All that the myth of the G-spot has done is make men and women feel inadequate about their sex lives.

Subjective: British scientists claim the G-spot may not exist at all

The G-spot is supposed to be a collection of nerve endings possessed by some women and not others. If activated by a sexual partner with the right technique, it can given women supreme sexual pleasure.

Sex therapists have made careers out of telling women they can boost their G-spot by eating the right diet, or doing more exercise.

But a study of 1,800 British women by scientists at King's College London has cast doubt on its existence.

Co-author Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology, said: 'Women may argue that having a G-spot is due to diet or exercise, but in fact it is virtually impossible to find real traits.

'This is by far the biggest study ever carried out and it shows fairly conclusively that the idea of a G-spot is subjective.'

Andrea Burri, the other author, said she was concerned about women who feared they lacked a G-spot were suffering from feelings of 'inadequacy or underachievement'.

She said: 'It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never been proven and pressurise women - and men too.'

In the study, 1,804 women aged between 23 and 83 filled in questionnaires. All were pairs of identical or non-identical twins. While identical twins share all their genes, non-identical ones only share half.

If a G-spot did exist, it would be expected that both identical twins would report having one. But in cases where one twin reported having the erogenous zone, the scientists found that no pattern emerged of the other one having the spot.

In fact, identical twins were no more likely to share a G-spot than non-identical twins.

Some 56 per cent of women said they had a G-spot, but they tended to be younger and more sexually active.

Experts claimed the study vindicated their long-standing doubts over the existence of the pleasure zone.

Gedis Grudzinskas, consultant gynaecologist at London Bridge Hospital, said: 'I think this study proves the difference between popular science and biological or anatomical science.'

The idea of the G-spot was popularised by sexologist Professor Beverly Whipple of Rutgers University in New Jersey in 1981.

It was named in honour of German gynaecologist Ernst Gr�fenberg who claimed to have discovered the erogenous zone in 1950.

Professor Whipple says she found G-spots in a study of 400 women, and described the new British study as 'flawed'.

She said the study did not look at lesbians or bisexual women - and failed to take into account the effect of different sexual techniques and the prowess of different men.

She said: 'The biggest problem with the findings is that twins don't generally have the same sexual partner.'

The British study will be published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine this week."

Some people are scent sensitive, others aren't.Some people can tell what sort of barrel their wine was aged in, just from the taste. Some people are very ticklish, I'm not. I would imagine G-spot sensitivity is just as variable. It makes no sense that that sensitivity would have anything to do with diet or exercise either.

To me, that study sounds like evidence that those scientists are lazy in bed and or insecure, and says nothing at all about the existence of the G-spot.

What does 'G' stand for?

Edit: I think it's 'great'. Personally, I think the whole area is great.

[catman]

I knew it!!!!

[endo]

I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure I found it once in my life and the girl went bat-[Mod Edit] insane. In a good way of course


It actually starteled me. But is was great nonetheless.

Nerve endings? I thought the g-spot was found by applying pressure to the urethral sponge through the wall of the vagina. Whatever.

What's a G-spot?

[Goochmon]

I believe the "G spot" is an area, sometimes a street corner, late night hangout or similar found in an urban environment where youths congregate and loiter.

Let's look at this logically.

Who initiated the study? Mainly men.
Check.

Men who are good in bed? Nope, scientists. Presumably among the most geeky and non-masculine of all the gender stereotypes.
Check.

Do men who are presumably bad in bed have anything to gain by providing an "excuse?"
They probably think so.
Check.

The only women involved with this study have admitted some pretty heavy biases as well. Wanting women to feel "not strange" certainly favors a certain type of study result ("no g-spot"), doesn't it?

[reactionary]

Plenty of feminists deny the existence of the g-spot. The idea of the g-spot promotes penetration (which, surprise surprise, benefits men). The feminazis would like to point out that a woman's real erogenous zone is the clitoris- no penetration necessary to achieve female orgasm. There's a decent amount of evidence that the "g-spot" is just internal stimulation of the clitoris anyway.

So it doesn't really amount to "men who are bad in bed." (Can women even find their own g-spot?)

According to the field studies I've conducted, the G-spot does exist. Its size and sensitivity varies from woman to woman, and, as you can see by the attached diagram, you need to be careful when stimulating it to avoid too much pressure on the bladder.
