A strong contender for "most elusive, ever", the hunt for the G-spot has just hit another obstacle. Since the term was coined in the eighties by author and sexologist, Beverley Whipple, the G-spot has been 'explored' in numerous studies, inspired countless theories and (probably) been at the root of much frustration.
What was the best thing that happened to you this week?The million dollar question is, of course, does it even exist?
Helen O'Connell, a professor of urology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, has dissected around 50 vaginas throughout her career and studied many more alive vaginas There's nothing about our vaginas which could be attributed to the G-spot's existence. Other scientists who've conducted research have said there's not a lot of evidence to support its existence. A subsequent study on 47 women did find they had a sensitive spot, but there was no orgasm as a result of applying pressure Working in conjunction with other parts, such as the urethra, the clitoris shares some of the blood and nerve supply with the urethra and vagina What's more, during movement in sex, they all apparently "excite each other." And there is one, though it's not very catchy. The area women are pressing to get orgasms is now called the Clitoral, Urethral Vaginal Complex, or CUV Complex.But you can call it what you want, just as long as you don't call it the G-spot.
