Researchers, led by Dr
Amichai Kilchevsky, from the Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, studied
nearly 100 peer-reviewed articles published on the subject published during the
past six decades. These included clinical trials, case reports and reviews.
They found that none
could conclusively prove that the mythic G-spot zone exists and that the
strongest evidence remains anecdotal.
One 2008 study, which used ultrasound imaging to survey the vaginal wall said women who reported having orgasms had thicker tissue in the G-spot area than women who didn't. However, Dr Kilchevsky's team found other imaging studies couldn't confirm this finding.
They also reported
inconclusive results from tissue biopsies, with some studies reporting more
nerve endings in the 'G-spot area' while others found fewer.
Meanwhile a 2010 study, found the clitoris - a known erogenous zone - dropped during sex so that it was closer to the vaginal wall.
A team lead by Dr Odile
Bouisson suggested pressure on the wall could actually be indirectly
stimulating the clitoris, thereby enhancing the sensation of pleasure.
The authors concluded:
'Objective investigative measures have failed to provide strong and consistent
evidence for the existence of an anatomical site that could be related to the
famed G-spot.'
The surveys revealed
that while a majority of women believe the G-spot exists, there were many who
had been unable to locate it.
They postulated that the
myth of this other arousal zone may enjoy wide credence today because the
G-spot term was coined in the 1980s at a time of sexual liberation in western
society.
Dr Kilchevsky said he
hoped their findings would take the pressure off women who find it difficult to
orgasm.
His team added that
couples shouldn't give up all hope.
'Reliable reports and
anecdotal testimonials of the existence of a highly sensitive area... demand
further consideration,' they said.
