New Research Suggests G-Spot Doesn't Exist

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the only-proves-that-men-still-can't-find-it dept.

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.

    There's a large, easily felt physical outcropping which is one of several significant stimulus points. Maybe it's not the grafenberg spot, but it's what we think of when we hear g-spot.

    There's a reason that people believe in this thing, ask for it to be stimulated on certain moods, et cetera.

      Anyone who thinks that there is one and only one stimulus spot on the female genitalia needs to consult a map of the area. Those wings you see there? Those are as pleasurable as the clit, but because they are buried under tissue they are more challenging to get at. I'm pretty sure that the G-Spot is a combination of mood + hitting these things.

      Note that this particular map of the female genitalia is fairly recent -- mid 80s if I recall.

  2. G Spot explained (seriously) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    When you stroke and apply pressure to the "g spot", especially with the oft-cited "come here" motion, you are pushing and helping to trap blood flow in the clitoral region, just like how similar pressure would do so to a man's erection. The result is more sensation and sensitivity in the engorged clit and related area... The effectiveness of this varies by woman, but that pretty much explains it right there. It's not like a second clitoris or anything like that.
