Researchers say illusive erogenous zone is a myth with no physical evidence.

According to a new study, the elusive female G-spot may not actually exist at all, according to scientists.

According to scientists, the G-spot is said to be a small area of the female body where nerve endings are concentrated, with the capability to provide intense pleasure.

However, researchers have failed to find any physical evidence of its existence in the most conclusive study to date.

According to a study led by Dr Nathan Hoag, the G-Spot ‘does not exist as an anatomic construct’.

Dr Hoag claimed that any pleasurable sensation experienced when stimulating the area occurred only because of its close proximity to the clitoris.

However, not everyone agreed that the mysterious sweet spot was nothing more than a myth.

Talking to the Sun, Rebecca Dakin, who is also known as The Great British Sexpert, said, ‘I have no doubt the G-spot exists. Ask any woman and they will tell you the researchers are wrong.’

The sexpert implied that there was a danger that men would treat the research as an excuse for poor performance.

A separate study in 2008, which used ultrasound imaging to look at the vaginal wall, said women who reported having orgasms had thicker tissue around what is considered G-spot area than women who didn’t.

The G-spot was named after German gynaecologist Ernst Gräfenberg, who first noted the area was particularly sensitive to touch in 1950.

However, the spot, which is thought to measure slightly more than half an inch in diameter, was not known at the G-spot until 1981.

Since the idea was first mooted there has been a great deal of speculation about its existence and precise location.
