What an anti-climax: G-spot doesn't exist!

It's all in the brain, say British scientists

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

A study by British scientists has found that the mysterious G-spot, the sexual pleasure zone said to be possessed by some women but denied to others, may not exist at all.

The scientists at King's College, London, who carried out the study claim there is no evidence for the existence of the G-spot supposedly a cluster of internal nerve endings outside the imagination of women influenced by magazines and sex therapists.

They reached their conclusions after a survey of more than 1,800 women.

"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," said Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology, who co-authored the research.

Research on twins

In the research, 1,804 British twins aged 23-83 answered questionnaires. Identical twins share all their genes, while non-identical pairs share 50% of theirs.

If one identical twin reported having a G-spot, this would make it far more likely that her sister would give the same answer.

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

While 56% of women overall claimed to have a G-spot, they tended to be younger and more sexually active.

Andrea Burri, who led the research, said she was anxious to remove feelings of "inadequacy or underachievement" that might affect women who feared they lacked a G-spot.

"It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never really been proven and pressure women and men, too," she said.
