New Research Suggests G-Spot Doesn't Exist

krou writes to tell us that according to a new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, a team from King's College London has found no evidence to suggest that the G-Spot actually exists, and they believe it may be a myth encouraged by magazines and sex therapists. The study performed is the largest of its kind, including some 1,800 women, and still was unable to find meaningful proof. Of course, the studies were probably all led by men, who everyone knows can't find the G-Spot anyway.

And the crowd goes wild..

On a more serious note, why do you have to make it so technical? Different areas stimulate differently and some are more powerful than others. If girls say that specific area pleasures them more, you don't have to make tons of researches about it. You can just believe it. And like with everything else sexual, it can difference between people.

If you are coming (as a man, and as a hint for slashdot's girls), stimulating the area between your balls and asshole makes your orgasm a lot more powerful. It's even possible to come just by stimulating that area, without touching your dick (I've done it). That is actually what's called men "g-spot", while technically its deeper in your ass, but you can stimulate it somewhat from under your balls too. If you're not up for gay sex, you can of course ask your girl to put a finger in your ass and try to stimulate it from there.

Also why not just experience? Girls tend to let you know what feels good, in a way or another. Or just ask her if she has spotted it and help you stimulate it. It will be slighty different with every girl, because everyones body and sexuality is slighty different.

If there's one area in your life thats not all technical and about science, let it be sex, and just have fun.

    I have to post AC on this one..

    Here's a map for those who don't know. :)

    TFA is a piece of crap story. It's very small on some women, but I've always managed to find it. Any women who haven't had it explored, drop me a line. :)

    It does exist on both men and women. It can also be slightly manipulated from the outside.

    On women from inside, touching towards the abdomen, you will feel a spongy area. Just up (towards her head) from there is it. It's not in exactly the same place on everyone, but it's there. Every woman is a bit different on how manipulating it feels best for them too. Experiment, and learn what your lover is telling you.

    You can manipulate it from outside too. Basically, pressure on the abdomen, just above the pubic bone, curling your fingers down (towards her feet) slightly.

    The combination of those will drive her wild. With enough practice, you can hit it right off every time. After a few demonstrations, even the threat of it can drive her to an orgasm. :) The combination works much better on skinny women. The external stimulus simply doesn't work well through layers of fat. (no offense to large women, just the facts)

    The g-spot can be reached from the rectum also, but there is more stuff in the way. Some women like it that way though.

    As for fingers in my rectum.. Well.. I'd prefer that be left alone. I'm perfectly content having orgasms without anything in my ass.

Re:K, what? Bad Methodology

The women in the study, who were all pairs of identical and non-identical twins, were asked whether they had a G-spot. If one did exist, it would be expected that both identical twins, who have the same genes, would report having one.

So this study is about whether identical twins both self-report the same data. It's possibly a badly executed study on genetics, but it certainly does not study what the headline says.

In a different study, the spot was found during physical examination, and reportedly can be increased in size through vigorous stimulation. I know, citation needed, but I remember facts better than URLs.

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

No, the idea of whether you have one is subjective. Whether you actually have one should be as subjective as whether you have a femur.

Dr Petra Boynton, a sexual psychologist at University College London, said: "It's fine to go looking for the G-spot but do not worry if you don't find it. It should not be the only focus. Everyone is different."

Sounds reasonable...

Recently Italian scientists claimed they could locate the G-spot using ultrasound scans. They said they had found an area of thicker tissue among the women reporting orgasms.

Sounds like actual evidence...

But specialists warned there could be other reasons for this difference.

Sounds speculative.

She never had an orgasm until I figured out where her supposedly non-existent g-spot is

Yes she did.

Re:K, what?

[t0p]

When I was schooled on the G-Spot by a former girlfriend, she said it was an area on the front wall of the vagina. I could certainly feel the slight swelling that she guided me to. I stimulated it by performing doggy-style or by lifting her legs and thrusting upwards. There was certainly something there that she enjoyed having stimulated. Other women also enjoyed it. But some others didn't experience the same sensations. So maybe it isn't real. But who cares? If some women think it's there and enjoy its stimulation, then it's real enough for them. Which is the important thing.
