A US gynaecologist says he has found the G-spot - a supposed pleasure centre on the front interior wall of the vagina - but some critics say: "Not so fast!"
In a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine yesterday, Adam Ostrzenski said he had confirmed the presence of the G-spot after extracting a tiny "well-delineated sac structure" from an 83-year-old cadaver.
"This study confirmed the existence of the G-spot, which may lead to better understanding and improvement of female sexual function," said Ostrzenski, of the Institute of Gynecology, in St Petersburg, Florida.
The G-spotis said to be a highly sensitive area that, when stimulated, gives a woman a powerful orgasm.
But where the G-spot is located has been clouded by evidence that is subjective or contradictory.
Critics have cast doubt on the latest finding, noting that the supposed G-spot seems to provide arousal only for some women.
"It's a case study involving the dissection of the body of one woman whose sexual experiences are unknown to us," sex researcher Debby Herbenick said.
