‘G-spotters’ might have better luck with trains

LONDON: It will come as some relief to men up and down the country – though perhaps not to their wives.

The elusive female G-spot may not actually exist at all, say scientists.

After reviewing 100 studies conducted over the past 60 years, experts have concluded that there is no evidence for the fabled centre of female sexual pleasure after all.

Research leader Dr Amichai Kilchevsky, a urologist from the YaleNew Haven Hospital in Connecticut, blamed pornography, magazines and sex therapists for ruthlessly promoting the idea.

While he admitted the concept merited further attention and that “modern investigative techniques” might help, he said he hoped his conclusion would take the pressure off couples who had not located it.

“Objective measures have failed to provide strong and consistent evi- dence for the existence of an anatomical site that could be related to the famed G-spot”, he wrote in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

His findings support those of researchers from King’s College London, who questioned 1 800 women in one of the largest studies on the subject and concluded that there was no evidence for the existence of the Gspot. The British team suggested in 2010 that the idea made both men and women feel inadequate about their sex lives.

The G-spot is said to be a small area of the female body where nerve endings are concentrated, with the capability to provide intense pleasure.

“Lots of women feel almost as though it is their fault they can’t find it”, Kilchevsky said. “The reality is that it is probably not something, historically or evolutionarily, that should even exist.” – Daily Mail
