The holy grail of female sexual pleasure — the G-spot — does not exist, according to a new study.
British researchers at Kings College London found no evidence to support long-standing claims there is a collection of internal nerve endings that trigger the ultimate in sexual ecstasy.
"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," study co-author Tim Spector said.
"This is by far the biggest study ever carried out and it shows fairly conclusively that the idea of a G-spot is subjective."
The findings came after researchers surveyed more than 1800 woman, all identical and non-identical twins.
Each woman was asked whether they thought they had a G-spot before their answer was cross-checked against their twin.
If the G-spot did in fact exist, the twins would be more likely to give similar answers because of similarities in their genes.
But the research found no such pattern.
Research co-author Andrea Burri said she hoped the findings would remove a "rather irresponsble" pressure on women and men in the bedroom.
