So just what is a guy supposed to do? Generations of blokes have searched for the fabled spot since we were first alerted to its existence in the 1950s, but we're now told that our frantic fumbling may have been in vain. Or not, as the case may be.
While these new findings may ease male egos by confirming that some woman really don't have a G-spot for us to master, it does shroud the fabled zone in even greater mystery. Just what is an intrepid love god supposed to do now - give up the hunt or try harder?
Italian researchers tested two groups of woman - one believed they had a G-spot while the others were convinced they didn't. Results showed that there were clear differences between the two, with the former lucky ladies definitely in possession of the much coveted spot. Scans also revealed the "G-spot region" of the vagina was significantly thicker in G-spot women, while blood tests showed they had higher levels of a chemical marker linked to sexual function.
Said to give girls the most mind blowing, full-body orgasms possible, the G-Spot was discovered by Dr Ernst Grafenberg - hence the "G". Scientists and writers scoffed at first, but over the years the clitoris came to take a back seat in men's minds as we set about trying to discover the secret button that, according to science and legend, would send women to the moon and back. Finding the G-spot has tended to be the problem, but if the new research is right, male ineptness isn't the only thing to blame.
