American scientists have proved the existence of the so-called point G. The corresponding study was conducted by scientists from the University of Gynecology in St. Petersburg, (USA). A report on this work is published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The point G is analogous to a semi-mythical creature: everyone knows about it, but nobody has seen it. Under the G-point is meant a special zone in the vagina, which is located on the front wall; it is believed that the stimulation of this zone delivers the most complete and vivid sexual sensations, some argue that the vaginal orgasm is unattainable in the absence of stimulation of the point G. The first mention of the G point is found in Indian texts dating from the 11th century. The term itself was proposed in 1981. Despite the long history of the matter, scientists still can not prove the existence of the G-point. Some women say that the G-point is and with it they experience unearthly happiness. Others - that point G is absent, that to achieve orgasm, you still have to connect the clitoris.
A new study, carried out by scientists from the University of Gynecology in Florida, again raises the old dispute about the G-point. The next discovery was preceded by clinical studies, during which the researchers repeatedly recorded the same structure in the zone where this mystical point is most likely to be located.
The author of the study Adam Ostrzhenski conducted a pathological anatomical examination of a woman who died at the age of 83 years. He layer-by-layer analyzed the structure of the vaginal wall of the corpse, where he intended to reveal the point G.
During the study, Ostrzhenski found an anatomical structure that was located on the perineal membrane at a distance of 16.5 mm from the outside of the urethra. The scientist identified two parts in the revealed anatomical structure: the lower part (tail), and the upper (head).
According to the scientist, the point G revealed to him is a semblance of a small sac with well-defined walls that resemble cavernous bodies and connective tissue. The width of the structure described by the scientist was from one and a half to three and a half millimeters with a length of 8 millimeters.
In early January 2012, scientists from the United States said that they could not identify signs of the existence of point G. In the process of research, they analyzed all the scientific publications devoted to this topic, for the period from 1951 to 2011.
Among sexologists, there is a well-known hypothesis that the G-point does not have clear coordinates, that this is a certain diffuse structural formation that covers the clitoris, part of the vagina, glands and various nerve nodes. Probably, so it also is. Yet it seems very improbable, despite the authors' reasoning, that scientists for decades could not reveal the structure described by them and find out in it the notorious main point of female orgasm.
