The G-Spot Myth Or Fact new study says myth

Researchers at King’s College London claim there is no evidence for the existence of the G-spot supposedly a cluster of internal nerve endings that can take a women to levels of orgasmic pleasure beyond imagination.

The study, which included data from almost 2000 women, was led by Andrea Burri, who tells the Times that the research was meant to lessen the sexual fears and feelings of inadequacy many people, both women and men feel when it comes to locating the legendary spot on a woman's body.

"It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never really been proven and pressurize women - and men, too," Burri says.

The researchers say this is by far the biggest study ever carried out and it shows fairly conclusively that the idea of a G-spot is subjective.

They reached their conclusions after a survey of more than 1,800 British women, all of whom were pairs of identical or non-identical twins.

Identical twins share all their genes, while non-identical pairs share 50 per cent of theirs. If one identical twin reported having a G-spot then her sister was more likely to give the same answer

But no such pattern emerged, suggesting the G-spot is a matter of the woman’s subjective opinion.

The study is already being challenged, particularly after an article was published in the Journal Of Sexual Medicine claimed that the g-spot is, in fact, a real thing.

Beverly Whipple of Rutgers, who popularized the notion of the "g-spot" back in 1981 with her book, The G-Spot And Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality, says that the new study is "flawed," as it doesn't take into account the sexual activities of lesbian and bisexual women.

Tim Spector co-author of the reports is also quoted as saying "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."
