Scientists found the G-spot inside the corpse of an 83-year-old woman

Scientists in Florida claim to have found the elusive G-spot inside the corpse of an 83-year-old woman The Daily Telegraph reported.
Dr Adam Ostrzenski, of the Institute of Gynaecology, said: "It confirmed the anatomic existence of the G-spot, which may lead to a better understanding of female sexual function."
The sac found by Dr Ostrzenski's team at the institute in St Petersburg, Florida, measured 0.3 inches in length, from 0.06 to 0.15 inches in width and 0.01 inches high.
That makes it just half the size of a fingernail.
However, British experts are less sure what they found was actually a G-spot.
Dr Petra Boynton, of University College London, said it was just another in a series of "limited" studies into whether such a thing exists.
She said: "It has rehearsed misleading stereotypes about women. We seem obsessed with proving or disproving orgasms 'happen' in the G spot (or not)."
Professor Kevan Wylie, a consultant in sexual medicine at the University of Sheffield, added: "This is a solitary postmortem case report in a woman whose orgasmic history and experiences are not described."
The G-spot takes its name from Ernst Grafenberg. The German gynaecologist, who also developed the IUD, claimed to have discovered the erogenous zone in 1950.
A face-to-face, sitting position enables the penis to stimulate the front wall of the vagina, where the G-spot may be located.
There seems to be little doubt that there's a hidden area, at least in some men and women, which, when stimulated, produces excitement; in women this is known as the G-spot, and in men it is the prostate gland.
While it's undeniable that men have a prostate, scientists have for many years failed to find a G-spot, and the new claims remain disputed.
Some experts believe the G-spot exists only in some women, others believe that the front wall of the vagina is very sensitive, others believe that the whole idea is nonsense.
Self-discovery is the only way to find if the G-spot can give you intense pleasure for you or whether, as for some, it's a waste of time.
