UK Study Suggests There is No G Spot and that This Erogenous Zone May Be a Myth

A recent study in the UK has added support for the claim that there is no G spot. This news may come as a surprise to many women, and indeed men, who have spent a great deal of time trying to locate this erogenous zone. It will also be greeted with skepticism by those women who feel certain they have already found it.

What is the G spot?

The Gräfenberg spot is believed to be a bean shaped area in the woman's vagina that is a said to be a particularly sensitive erogenous zone; if stimulated it is claimed to lead to high levels of sexual arousal. The G spot is said to lie three inches inside the vagina and near the opening of the urethra; it is an area in the vagina wall. Research in the past has reported that women who claim to have a G spot tend to have thicker tissue in this area. Other research has failed to find any evidence for its existence and there is an increased belief that there is no G spot.

The Latest UK Study that Suggest No G Spot

This research was carried out by King's College in London and it included 1,800 women; this makes it the biggest study of its kind to date. The study involved women who were all either identical or non identical twins. It went on to question all of these women about whether they had a G-spot or not. The rationale being that the identical twins have the same genes so they should report similar experiences in regards to the G-spot. The study found that identical twins were no more likely to agree on a G spot then non identical twins; this brings the whole idea into real doubt.

Those responsible for the study suggest that this erogenous is a myth that has been created by women's magazines and sex therapists. They argue that those women who do experience it are just imagining the whole thing. The argument is that if such an area in the body did exist then surely there would be more proof for it.

Critics of this Latest UK Study

Those who still believe in the existence of this erogenous zone argue that the study is not reliable and that the conclusions are subjective. It could be that identical twins have different experiences with the G spot due to sexual experience or their ability to relax during sex. The study was also criticised for failing to take into account the experience of lesbian women.

Does this finally prove that there is no G Spot?

For many people this latest evidence provides something to think about but falls way short of disproving the existence of the G spot. It does seem that more research is needed, and just dismissing the experience of women as being just their imagination seems a bit condescending.
