The G-Spot, a theoretical female erogenous zone, has been dismissed as “subjective” by scientists in London who carried out tests on identical twins between the ages to 23 and 83. “Lay down your sat-navs, the journey is over: the destination a mirage. Or is it? According to new research carried out by scientists at King’s College, London, the mysterious G-spot, the sexual pleasure zone said to be possessed by some women but denied to others, like Atlantis, is a myth. It doesn’t exist. Or does it? Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology, who co-authored the research, is quoted in the Sunday Times as saying, ‘Women may argue that having a G-spot is due to diet or exercise but in fact it is virtually impossible to find real traits. This is by far the biggest study ever carried out and it shows fairly conclusively that the idea of the G-spot is subjective.’”
