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.

Hillariously Flawed Study

[Idimmu Xul]

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.

Fantastic methodology there! We won't actually study the person, we'll just ask them! What an awesome popularity contest.

In other news God does exist, 10/10 Christians guarantee it!

They didn't just merely ask them, they asked identical twins and used the twins as controls of what the other had said. What they basically determined is that for a phenomena that is supposed to be a sensory experience - an orgasm inducing spot - the identical twins couldn't agree (from the cases where both of them said they have a g-spot) where that spot actually is, supporting the notion that it doesn't exist in the first place.

Not really. All that would show is that it is not genetically determined. However, there are many things that are very real but are not defined genetically (and all of that assumes the women are actually correct in knowing the spot, which is also not a safe assumption).

My Wife Thinks it Exists

[Vornzog]

My wife claims she notices three distinctly different kinds of orgasms - clit, g-spot, and a more nebulous 'vaginal' one. She never had an orgasm until I figured out where her supposedly non-existent g-spot is - that opened the flood gates to a whole bunch of really good sex.

Does the g-spot exist? Who cares. Something in the general vicinity of where my wife thinks her g-spot is can be stimulated to bring her to orgasm. Happy wife -> more sex -> happy me!

That's not the only flaw

[BoxedFlame]

Drawing the conclusion that there is no G-spot because it isn't _genetically_ determined is ludicrous. It's like saying humans don't have fingerprints because identical twins have different patterns.

Re:This is science?

[SanityInAnarchy]

Unless those twins all had identical lovers, I don't see how this is relevant. The question is whether it exists at all.

Unfortunately, I suspect a properly scientific study would require some scientist to learn to find it, and then attempt to find it on each of the women in the study. But that affects the sample population quite a lot, I'd think -- down to "women who like casual sex with scientists."

Re:Placebo effect is just fine thanks

hmmm ... what is the one common factor in all your dates?
