French and British scientists disagree over fabled G-spot

“There are a handful of subjects such as cricket, the weather and the art of downing pints on which the French deign to allow the English a degree of authority. Sex is not one of them”, says the Guardian’s Lizzie Davies in Paris.

Three weeks after scientists at King’s College London declared that the elusive G-spot may be a myth. Yesterday in Paris, a group of gynecologists gathered to launch a counter-attack.

The French scientists insisted the fabled erogenous zone did exist in many women – around 60% according to Sylvain Mimoun, the conference organizer.

Mimoum said, “I think the Protestant, liberal, Anglo-Saxon character means you are very pragmatic. There has to be a gene for everything.
I think this is totalitarian.”
