The G-Spot Myth: There’s No Evidence To Prove Its Existence

You have probably heard about the word ‘G spot’ several times. It allegedly exists inside the vagina and just touching it or stimulating it can lead to strong sexual arousal. Many claims that this spot exists a few inches inside the vagina while many also believe it is located between the vaginal opening and the urethra. However, no evidence has been able to prove the existence of any such specific points in the body.

No Proof To Prove G-spot’s Existence!

It has long been debated whether or not there is anything called G-Spot. While the majority of study contends that there isn't a spot like it, many women think they've located theirs that helps them enjoy pleasurable sex.

Dr Nicole Prause, a neuroscientist who studied about sexual arousal, said “I don’t think we have any evidence that the G-spot is a spot or a structure, I’ve never understood why it was interpreted as some new sexual organ. You can’t standardise a vagina—there is no consistency across women as to where exactly we experience pleasure,” cosmopolitan reported.

However, a 2012 study pointed out that the G-spot was real, but it was actually a ‘rope-like’ blue grape-ish piece of anatomy.

Several other studies over the years proclaimed the G-spot to be things like “a thick patch of nerves,” “a gland,” “the urethral sponge,” etc.

But several other studies could not find any proof that the G-spot exists.

A recent study, done in 2021 reviewed the scientific data concerning the existence, location, and size of the G-spot, but still could not prove its existence. Among the studies in which it was considered to exist, there was no agreement on its location, size, or nature.

History Of G-spot Rumour

The possible existence of G-spot, also called the Gräfenberg spot dates back to 1950 when Gräfenberg published a seminal paper called, "The role of urethra in female orgasm." A statement in the study described a distinct erotogenic zone on the anterior wall of the vagina. It was later referred to as the Gräfenberg spot (G-spot) in 1981. After this, the G-spot became a popular topic and everybody started trying to learn about this area.

However, according to a PubMed report, "All published scientific data point to the fact that the G-spot does not exist, and the supposed G-spot should not be identified with Gräfenberg's name. Moreover, G-spot amplification is not medically indicated and is an unnecessary and inefficacious medical procedure".
