In the study, 1,804 women aged between 23 and 83 filled in questionnaires. All were pairs of identical or non-identical twins. While identical twins share all their genes, non-identical ones only share half.
If a G-spot did exist, it would be expected that both identical twins would report having one. But in cases where one twin reported having the erogenous zone, the scientists found that no pattern emerged of the other one having the spot.
In fact, identical twins were no more likely to share a G-spot than non-identical twins.
Some 56 per cent of women said they had a G-spot, but they tended to be younger and more sexually active.
Experts claimed the study vindicated their long-standing doubts over the existence of the pleasure zone.
Gedis Grudzinskas, consultant gynaecologist at London Bridge Hospital, said: 'I think this study proves the difference between popular science and biological or anatomical science.'
The idea of the G-spot was popularised by sexologist Professor Beverly Whipple of Rutgers University in New Jersey in 1981.
It was named in honour of German gynaecologist Ernst Grafenberg (umlaut on a) who claimed to have discovered the erogenous zone in 1950.
Professor Whipple says she found G-spots in a study of 400 women, and described the new British study as 'flawed'.
She said the study did not look at lesbians or bisexual women - and failed to take into account the effect of different sexual techniques and the prowess of different men.
She said: 'The biggest problem with the findings is that twins don't generally have the same sexual partner.'

Head ducking is part of what the study omitted.

Well, that's one way to look at the problem, though some would still say 'put your money where your mouth is.'

So... "Over half of women knew they had one, therefore it doesn't exist"?
