Add to the list of false quests the search for the elusive G-spot, at least, that is, according to a new study conducted by the King’s College London team who believe they have found conclusive evidence that the famed erogenous zone, like unicorns, leprechauns, and fairies, is just a myth. The study, considered the largest on the subject, focused on the sexual histories and patterns of 900 pairs of female identical and non-identical twins, with the expectation that identical twins would be more likely to both report the existence of a G-spot in the same area. However, the pattern did not arise. 56 percent of the women studied believed they had a G-spot and no genetic correlation was established. Furthermore, only 30 percent claimed to orgasm from vaginal stimulation, an inconsistent figure given the idea that stimulation of the G-spot, which supposedly resides on the frontal wall of the vagina, leads to climax. Such findings have led researchers to firmly believe that there is no physical evidence for the existence of the G-spot. Though there are many detractors who believe the study to be flawed. Firstly, they feel the definition of the G-spot used for the research was overly specific and did not allow for variance in size, stimulation, or position of the G-spot; women were simply asked if they believed they had a "so called G-spot, a small area the size of a 20p coin on the front wall of [the] vagina that is sensitive to deep pressure?" Secondly, the study did nothing to take into account the sexual habits and skills of the respondents and their respective partners. If a woman is sacking it with a dude that has a propensity to hit like a real NFL’er, it might not matter whether she has a G-spot or not.
Personally, I believe the debate surrounding the existence of the G-spot is moot. Sex should not boil down to whether a woman has that famed pleasure coin or not. Sex should be an exercise of self-discovery, to find what is pleasurable, and to not be so concerned with any predetermined destination. We all have our varying tastes, our likes and dislikes, chicken versus beef, and that should be grounds enough for the act love making. And who knows, you may find that G-spot at the end of the rainbow, or you may find you like chemical slides. Whatever the case, search for the unknown you might be surprised with what you find.
