Top three passages about the rediscovery of the G-spot
It's been a wild month for the G-spot. Or haven't you been keeping up with your science news? I know what you're saying, "Isn't every month wild for the G-spot?" But this month was different — and scientific. The British disproved the spot. Then the French proved it again. Traditional media had the duty to cover the news. Now, your top three coverages:
3. From the Guardian (the story was big for the British, under the hed, "French hit back after British attack on G-spot touches nerve"):
There are a handful of subjects — among them cricket, the weather and the art of downing pints through a funnel — on which the French deign to allow the English a degree of authority. Sex, however, is not one of them.
2. From the Independent (under the hed, "Yes, Yes, Yes, No, Yes!"):
Some British women find it dispiriting to be told about the non-existence of the G-spot; but still more are disappointed to hear all these French women bragging about having them while we, instead, have fluoridisation and proper tea. "Weeth zees long 'olidays we 'ave plenty of time for ze looking," they seem to be saying. "We 'ave it, ze G-spot. It ees 'ere!" Yet others are murmuring that it seems a peculiar preoccupation of (mostly male) research scientists to want to find something that many rational people are certain isn't there. South Americans have El Dorado. The French have their G-spot. We have the Loch Ness monster. Each to his (or her) own.
1. From The Washington Post (thank you, Style section, under the hed, "New research snub of G spot leaves many hot and bothered"):
Thirty years and about 200 Amazon.com how-to guides later, the G spot remains an elusive Snuffleupagus of sex studies: utterly real to some women, a baffling, shame-inducing fantasy to others. Every few years, another study comes out saying that it's been found or it hasn't, and either way some portion of the female population is left feeling, somehow, wrong. (Question: Why is every news article about these studies accompanied by a photo of Meg Ryan's fauxgasm scene in "When Harry Met Sally"? Centuries from now, archaeologists will infer that we copulated only fully clothed in delis.)
The Telegraph is guilty.
