Scientists discover that the male "G-spot" is not where it was thought

Scientists have discovered that the male version of the G-spot, the area that is supposed to bring about incredible orgasms, is not located where sex experts had thought for decades.

Researchers from Spain found that the prostate, a walnut-sized organ inside the body, is not the main area of ​​male pleasure.

Instead, it turned out that the frenular delta, a small triangular area on the underside of the penis, is rich in specialized nerve fibers that cause intense pleasure.

The G-spot has traditionally been associated with women, referring to the Gräfenberg area, a highly sensitive spot that can produce great sexual pleasure or intense orgasms when stimulated.

For decades, scientists and many men trying to please their partners had been unable to prove the existence of the G-spot. But Turkish researchers recently claimed they could prove its existence by studying orgasms after surgical procedures in women.

In men, popular sexual health literature, sex education resources, and medical articles suggested that the prostate was the male equivalent of the G-spot since the early 2000s.

However, until now scientists did not have a complete picture of how these nerves form in the womb or how they are organized in adult males. This study filled these gaps using modern laboratory techniques.

The study authors describe the delta frenula as a V- or Y-shaped area on the underside of the penis where the foreskin meets the head of the penis (glans). The Spanish researchers carefully examined thin sections of penile tissue taken from 30 developing fetuses and 14 adult males who had donated their bodies to science after death.

The team from the University of Santiago de Compostela used special dyes and markers that made nerve fibers and tiny sensory structures glow under a microscope. By analyzing these magnified sections from different angles, they created the most detailed map ever of the nerves and pleasure receptors inside the penis.

This led them to a triangular area near the head, at the base of the penis. The study showed that this area has far more nerve groups and sensitive receptors than any other part, including the glans, previously considered the main male erogenous zone.

For decades, medical textbooks and sex education classes have portrayed the glans as the primary source of sexual sensation in men. This new study challenges that notion, showing that the delta frenula has been largely ignored by medical experts, even though it's located on the outside of the body and plays a major role in sexual pleasure.

At some points within the frenular delta, scientists found up to 17 tiny pleasure receptors clustered together, creating a veritable "sensory hotspot."

Eric Chung from the University of Queensland in Australia told New Scientist that this is one of the most pleasurable areas for male sexual stimulation and that the study provides scientific proof that the frenular delta is the real male G-spot.

The prostate, although it can provide strong sensations when stimulated internally, usually through the anus, is an internal gland and was not included in the new neural mapping study.

For decades, sites like Healthline, Medical News Today, and WebMD have called the prostate the male G-spot and provided instructions for stimulating it, both inside and outside the body. /GazetaExpress/
