Scientists say the G-spot is a myth!

**Little** · 01-10-2010 11:00 AM

Some British scientists just did a study on 1,804 British women (they filled out questionnaires) and now they are saying, definitively I might add, that the G-spot is a "myth" and that sex therapists and women's magazines have been "irresponsible" to have promoted it without proof!
Their methods? Each of the 1,804 women was one half of a pair of twins, either identical or fraternal, were given the questionnaire asking them if they had a G-spot. It was supposed that if the G-spot existed, a pattern would be established where if one twin said she had one, the other would as well.

Do your reading, ladies and gentleman, and google "The G-spot 'is a fantasy': That elusive erogenous zone doesn't exist, say researchers." It was featured in the UK's newspaper, the Daily Mail, but is also available on the internet. What do you think about the study? Its findings? Its methods? Ladies, do you have or think you have a G-spot? Men, in your experience, have your partners had one? What is your experience with this erogenous zone?

Personally, I think it's hogwash. In the words of my boyfriend, "it's there. It just is." Also, the method that the scientists chose to use - questionnaires - has a high risk of personal bias. Women aren't educated about their bodies, aren't encouraged to explore them. Near the end of the article it is brought up that twins don't generally have the same sexual partners - so if Sally and Susie both took the survey, but Sallie is a virgin, how likely is she to know about her G-spot? It reeks of a group of people trying to topple female sexual science, in the form of denying a tangible part of anatomy.

Share your thoughts!

That is CRAZY!!! If it's a myth.... Well, then, I'm a mythical being and you all better watch out.

Well I don't know much about all the scientificals but I do know that when pressure is applied to my aterior vaginal wall during sex or masturbation the sensation rivals that of pressure applied to my clitoris. I can orgasm from that pressure of my "gspot" alone. Stimulation of that gspot area on me with or without clitorial stimulation results in a squirting orgasm (mild, not flood , just tiny little squirt :P) that does not happen when only my clitoris is being stimulated.

Whether all women have the spot, whether it feels as good to all women, or has the ability to feel as good for women... I'll never know. But to me its a very real part of my body and seems to be my pleasure epicenter.

I kind of view it like how some men like their testicles rubbed during sex/oral and some don't. Some get pleasure from that, some get discomfort, some get no noteworthy sensations at all. For some women the gspot is the beez kneez and for others they think its a bunch of hooky.

I don't think that study sounds very reliably conducted. Nothing like the kinsey ones where he would actually have them sit there and masturbate while observation took place and measurings of all sorts of bio rhythms were taken and contractions observed etc.

That's the biggest problem right there. If you asked 2,000 kids if Santa existed and most answered Yes, would that prove that he really does? Of course not.

Not all of those surveyed are necessarily sexually active, and even those that are might not know if the have a G Spot. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

i'm sure tex is going to do his own research on this topic and will report back soon...

How many scientists have actually seen a naked lady?

Given the numbers of women who are nonorgasmic - does that mean female orgasm is a myth? I have orgasmed just as a man is entering me, does that mean all women should? Or am I a freak of nature?

I wonder what they will study next? If one twin doesn't orgasm from oral and the other does - where does that put us?

This sounds rather like the much quoted "study" that declared women over a certain age had virtually no chance of ever being in a relationship. It was a very limited, incomplete study, never officially released, using a very specialised survey technique that wasn't really applicable to the type of data being collected. The results got out due to an casual conversation and become women's media panic fodder for a decade. Disclaimers in reputable feild publications were ignored.

I did look at the article, there is nothing said about the actual methodology or margins of error. It doesn't appear that any Physical research was done. Having worked for the census on a few surveys, I can tell that people have no idea what they are saying half the time, you can ask essentially the same question several times in contexts and get different answers.

How can you ask a Virgin where here G-Spot is when mostly, it's women in this day and age that have been discovering it, and a Virgin is still asking questions about how to have a vaginal orgasm?

I think the scientists started the survey because they couldn't find one with their wives to pleasure them in a different fashion...oops!!!
